For many users online profiles displaying other people’s skills are increasingly important, e.g., when contracting freelancers or finding candidates for a job opening. However, current profiles found in information systems offer either unstructured free text that is hard to handle efficiently or simplistic rating schemes that do not convey meaningful information. In addition, it is unclear how trustworthy the information on the profile is. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to online skills profiles based on users’ confirmations and the SkillRank credibility ranking and describe its prototype implementation. As spadework, we set forth six basic requirements for online skill evaluations which should generally be reflected in corresponding IS design.
