Skills Taxonomy Expansion: September 2026

Skills

What's New?

The September 2026 skills taxonomy update includes:

  • More precise German coverage: Over 100 new fine-grained skills and more than 200 new synonyms, with several skills renamed to better match how recruiters search.

  • Clearer skill names: A small number of skills were renamed to better reflect their professional use.

  • New IT skills and certifications: Includes LangChain, LangGraph, TigerGraph, and the Certified Finance Leader (CFL) certification.

Why Does It Matter?

German-speaking users see more precise skill suggestions, and the taxonomy stays aligned with current market terminology.
