Skill levels

What Software & Web Development looks like at each level

Pick the level you can show today, from what you can do on your own.

  1. Level 1

    Foundational

    Routine tasks, with guidance when things change.

    You can do familiar tasks and you understand the basic ideas. When a task varies or gets difficult you ask for help.

  2. Level 2

    Intermediate

    Common tasks on your own, help only for the hard ones.

    You handle everyday work independently and cope with moderate variation. You need support only occasionally, in difficult situations.

  3. Level 3

    Advanced

    Complex or unfamiliar situations, with little guidance.

    You use judgement in new situations, fix problems at their cause, improve how the work is done and help others do it well.

These are the general levels used for every skill. Examples specific to Software & Web Development have not been written yet.

If you are looking for work

For candidates

Lead with what you have built: links to sites, apps or a code portfolio. Name languages and frameworks, and say what you did yourself in team projects.

If you are hiring

For employers

Name the stack and the kind of work: new builds, maintenance, integrations. A small paid test task or a review of the candidate's existing code is fairer than a long unpaid assignment.

How matching works

Matching is most reliable when both the profile and job listing use this same skill and any expected proficiency is set accurately.
