Coaching with the Skills Report

The Skills Report is the artifact you give an applicant after a session: a shareable, web-based view of their resume sections, extracted skills, and the same coaching feedback you used during the call.

This page covers two things — how to read Coaching & Evaluation while you're prepping, and how to share the report when you're done.

Reading Coaching & Evaluation

Coaching & Evaluation is the third sub-tab inside an applicant's Resume & Skills tab. It always reflects the active resume.

The view has four parts you'll work with in roughly this order.

Overall score

A score out of 10 with a severity badge — Good, Fair, Needs work, etc. The score is a weighted summary of the seven coaching axes; it's useful as a one-glance indicator of how the resume is landing, but it does not stand in for the per-axis breakdown.

The radar chart

A radar over the seven coaching axes:

• Clarity & Structure
• Specificity
• Evidence of Impact
• Skill Signal Strength
• Narrative Coherence
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio
• Professional Hygiene

You're looking for the shape, not the area. A balanced shape is rare. Most resumes lean strong on two or three axes and weaker on the rest. The shape is what tells you where the highest-leverage feedback lives.

For what each axis measures and how to coach against it, see Resume coaching axes.

Top Strengths and Areas to Improve

Two panes of concrete sentence-level feedback:

• Top Strengths is what to lead with — both for the applicant's confidence and because these are usually the things to keep doing as the resume evolves.
• Areas to Improve is the punch list. Each item is specific enough to act on in a session.

These are the lines you'll most often read aloud, paraphrase, or paste into your coaching notes.

Per-axis breakdown

Below the radar, each of the seven axes has its own bar with that axis's individual score. Click an axis to expand its detailed feedback — the bullets that fed into the strengths and improvement lists at the top.

This is where you go when you want to dig into one specific axis — for example, when you have ten minutes left and want to focus the rest of the session on Specificity.

Sharing the Skills Report

When you're ready to put the report in the applicant's hands, use the Share button at the top of the applicant profile.

A dialog opens. The settings — whether to require an access code, whether to re-share, whether to revoke — behave differently depending on which mode you choose, so it's worth understanding both before you click.

Send a fresh link

1. Click Share on the applicant profile.
2. Choose whether to require an access code:
   • Require access code on (default and recommended) — the applicant gets the link by email and a separate code they need to enter to open the report. Code-gated links expire 30 days after they're shared. Use this when the resume contains anything you wouldn't want a stray inbox forward to expose.
   • Require access code off — the link alone is enough. The link does not expire until you revoke it. Easier for the applicant; less protection if the email is forwarded.
3. Click Share.

The applicant receives an email at the address on their profile. In code-gated mode, the dialog also shows you the code so you can deliver it through a separate channel — phone, text, or in person.

Re-sharing

If the applicant already has an active share, the primary button reads Reshare and a small note tells you "Sharing again will invalidate the previous one."

What that actually means depends on the mode:

• With access code on: Resharing generates a new code. The old code stops working immediately. The link URL doesn't change — but no one can open the report with the old code anymore, and the new share starts a fresh 30-day expiry window.
• With access code off: The link URL doesn't change between shares either, and there's no code to rotate. Resharing just re-sends the email. It does not invalidate the previous link. If you want to actually kill a no-code link, use Revoke Access below.

Revoking access

Click Revoke Access in the share dialog to kill the live link entirely. The shared URL stops working immediately — for both code-gated and no-code shares. No email is sent.

This is the only way to invalidate a no-code link short of revoking it and starting over.

You can always share again later — that creates a fresh share, fresh code if you want one, and a fresh 30-day window.

{% hint style="info" %} The shareable URL is tied to the applicant, not to the share session. That means re-sharing doesn't generate a "new link" — only a new access code, when one is required. Revoking is the only action that stops the URL from resolving. {% endhint %}

What the applicant sees

The applicant gets a clean public page co-branded with your organization (no sidebar, no admin controls). The structure mirrors the staff view you used during the session:

• An Overview tab with their basic information and a link to view the original resume.
• A Resume & Skills tab with the same Resume Sections, Skills Overview, and Coaching & Evaluation views you used.
• A Jobs tab with their current job matches.

There's no "version history" — the report shows whatever resume is active at the moment they open it. If you want to lock the report to a specific version, make that version active before you share, and don't change it.
