Getting Started with Skillsheet

What Is Skillsheet?

Skillsheet is an AI-powered recruiting platform that helps you stand out to employers through a verified professional profile. Instead of sending the same static resume to every job, you take a short AI-driven video interview that evaluates your skills, communication, and experience. The result is a skillsheet — a shareable, scored profile that gives recruiters a much richer picture of who you are.

Tip

Think of it as a verified professional profile that goes far beyond a traditional resume. Recruiters on the platform can search for candidates by skill, score, and experience — which means your skillsheet works for you even when you are not actively applying.

How It Works

The Skillsheet Process

5 steps
1

Sign up

Create your account using just your email address. No passwords to remember — we use magic links.

2

Create your skillsheet

Choose a unique profile name and upload your resume. The AI uses your resume to personalize your interview.

3

Take the AI interview

Have a conversational video interview with our AI interviewer. It typically takes 15–20 minutes.

4

Get your results

Receive detailed scores, trait analysis, and feedback on your performance.

5

Share your profile

Send your public skillsheet URL to recruiters, post it on LinkedIn, or let recruiters discover you.

Info

The entire process from sign-up to a finished skillsheet typically takes under 30 minutes.

What You Need

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

Browser

Skillsheet works best in a modern web browser. We recommend:

  • Google Chrome (latest version)
  • Microsoft Edge (latest version)
  • Mozilla Firefox (latest version)
  • Safari (latest version on macOS)

Make sure your browser is up to date for the best experience.

Camera

A working webcam is required for the video interview. This can be:

  • A built-in laptop camera
  • An external USB webcam
  • A tablet or phone camera (if using a mobile browser)
Microphone

A working microphone is required so the AI interviewer can hear your responses. Options include:

  • A built-in laptop microphone
  • A headset with a microphone (recommended for best audio quality)

A stable internet connection is important for a smooth interview experience. We recommend:

  • A broadband connection (at least 5 Mbps upload and download)
  • A wired connection if possible, or a strong Wi-Fi signal
  • Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks during your interview
Resume

Have a copy of your resume ready in PDF or Word (.docx) format. The platform will parse it automatically to personalize your interview questions.

What Happens with Your Data

Info

Skillsheet takes your privacy seriously. Here is what to know up front:

  • Your video interview is recorded and transcribed to generate your scores and profile.
  • You control your public skillsheet URL and can manage your data at any time.
  • Recruiters can only see the information on your public skillsheet — they do not see raw interview footage unless you choose to share highlights.
