# Skills

You can configure candidate skills that will be available for selection when candidates fill in an application form to apply for a job. Skills are organized into [skill groups](/v1/docs/skill-groups), which should also be configured if you are using skills.

For skills to be available for selection on an application form, a **Skills** section must be [added to the application form](/v1/docs/configure-application-form-contents) that you use.

To set up skills:

1. Go to **Settings** > **Skill Settings** > **Skills**.
2. Select the **Create Skill** button.

3. In the **Create Skill** window, fill in the fields as described below:
  - **Skills Group** – Specifies a [skill group](/v1/docs/skill-groups) this skill will be added to. Select from one of the previously configured skill groups.
  - **Title** – Specifies the title of the skill. The title must be unique.
