Search for any skill and competence

HardSkills showcases the most suitable candidates based on the keywords you choose

Patent data can be complex to interpret and other patent databases only let you search for specific keywords from the patent itself. HardSkills’ proprietary algorithms convert patent data to skills and competency keywords so that technical recruiters worldwide find it easy to conduct accurate searches.
