- Click the (+) button to add new skills.
- Enter the Skill Name and details, then click Save.
The skills you add from here will be visible while creating a job. Additionally, you have the option to manually select candidate skills (which are defined here) from the candidate summary page and assign the candidate to the relevant job as needed.

The XR Skills Master is automatically updated when candidates transfer their profile from SEEK during applications.
What happens:
-
Candidate skills from SEEK profiles are imported via the API
-
Any skills not already in the system are added to the Skills Master
-
This occurs automatically — not from internal users
Important to know:
-
Skills may include duplicates, variations, or spelling errors
-
These come directly from candidate-entered data
-
This is intended system behaviour, not a bug
Admins can still review, merge, or standardise skills internally if needed.
