This experience provides better role and skill selections for new Degreed users, and encourages users to populate their Degreed Profile with roles, skills, experiences, and achievements. This results in enhanced Degreed content recommendations, discoverability for Opportunities and in People search, and a more personalized Degreed Home page.
Language Support
For new users, Degreed defaults to the language preference setting of your browser if Degreed is available in that specific language. If Degreed does not support the language preference setting of your browser, Degreed defaults to English - US, except if your browser is set to a variant of French, Portuguese, Chinese, or Spanish. Degreed defaults to the default for those languages.
For example if your browser language is set to Spanish-Argentina, Degreed defaults to Spanish-Latin America. If your browser language is set to French-Polynesia, Degreed defaults to French-France.
A Language selector is available at the top of the Onboarding screens to change the language the Onboarding experience displays in.
Resume Parsing Details
When you opt to parse your resume during the Onboarding process, Degreed scans your uploaded document for experiences, achievements, and skills. Degreed then pulls that information into your Degreed profile and discards the document, and you can review the extracted information on-screen. You can edit what was extracted, add it to your profile, or remove it from the system.

Onboarding Screens
The onboarding experience includes the following screens.
Welcome
This screen includes a welcome message that can be customized by your organization. Some fields and options are available here to begin the onboarding process.
- Allow Degreed AI to Suggest Skills: Enable this toggle to allow Degreed AI to suggest skills to add to your learning profile. Skills are suggested based on the skills/experiences extracted during resume-parsing. This option is only available if your organization enables it.
-
Backup Email Address: Indicate a personal email address to backup your points and profile. If your organization disables personal emails, this field will not display.
Profile portability is currently only supported for the US Data Center. - Upload Resume: Upload your resume to extract skills and experiences to add to your profile. Use the Go to LinkedIn link to access your LinkedIn page and export your resume as a PDF file.
Select Your Role
A Role describes the main function you deliver in your daily work.
Your organization may have assigned skills to a role. You should select the role that applies to the majority of your duties. This will ensure that the skills your organization identified are added to your profile and personalizes your learning experience.
Review Experiences from Resume Upload
For new users, this screen only appears if a resume was uploaded on the Welcome screen. If no resume was uploaded, or if resume-parsing is disabled, this screen does not display. For existing learnings that reset onboarding, this page displays if experiences are available on the learner's profile (even if no resume is parsed).
This screen displays the experiences (your past roles) and the number of skills related to those roles that was extracted from your resume.
You can remove the experiences by clicking Remove. Or, click Edit to add or delete skills or add more details to the Experiences. Click Next Step to include the listed experiences and skills in your Profile.
Finalize Your Skills Profile
This screen displays the skills that will be added to your learning profile. Review these skills and make the appropriate edits.
- You can add new skills to your profile by using the Search for skills field. When a skill is manually added, similar skills may populate the list as suggestions. Click Remove to remove skills from your profile.
- To add Focus Skills to your profiles, select the star icon to designate a maximum of four Focus Skills.
- Use the
icon to specify a Self-Rating for the skill. This communicates your perceived proficiency level for the corresponding skill. If your organization requires skill ratings, you will need to provide three self-ratings before you are able to finish the onboarding.
- The Source column identifies what caused the skill to be included in your skills list:
- Org Recommendation: Skill is pulled from Skill Standards or a job role Plan.
- Suggested Skill: AI recommended (Inferred skills or similar skill suggestions)
- Added Skill: Skill is manually added by the learner.
- Experience: Skill is pulled from the learner's uploaded resume.
- The Status column specifies if a skill is Critical. These are skills your organization has identified as most critical/recommended within your company.
- Click Finish when you've completed onboarding.
