No. Kantalop links each skill, title, and employer on a CV to a shared structure and uses the links for search, filters, and statistics. The CV keeps the consultant’s own words.
Know what your people can do
Every CV describes experience in its own words. “Agile”, “Agila metoder” and “Agile/Scrum” become different skills, and your search misses people. Kantalop links every skill, title, and employer to a shared structure. Search, filters, and statistics count everyone, and no CV changes.

Skills that mean the same thing, counted together
Kantalop links each skill on a CV to a shared set of skills. Translations, spelling variants, and bundles find their place. “Projektledning” and “Project Management” become one skill. “Agile/Scrum” counts as both. C, C#, and C++ stay apart. A search for Azure also finds the person who wrote Azure Functions.

Questions about Skills & Data
No. Only the shared list of skills, occupations, and organizations is the same for everyone, and Kantalop maintains it. Your words, CVs, and links stay in your workspace, and words that only exist in your company are never shown to others.
Yes. Admins can link a word to a different skill or mark it as your own, and it stays as written. You can also hand a word back to Kantalop to decide.
