A team/organisation allows you to be a part of a closed network of people that share their skills amongst each other. The most common use case is when you work in a company or an organisation. You can search the skills of your colleagues and see what is their Job Focus, Soft skills, technical expertise and certifications. As a member of a team/organisation, you also get an overview of the entire team's collective skill set.
You can create a team even if it's not an organization or company. Teams work great for a close group of people as well that want to share their skills with each other. Example - Photographers of Gothenburg or UX Designers in NY, Service Designers of Spain, Friends of MuchSkills etc. To watch videos and read best practises for how to set up a team click here.

How to search
Go to MuchSkills and click on TEAM/ORG. To the right, you’ll see a search bar. Enter the name of the skill you are seeking to filter the view.
Once you find the skill, click on it and you will get a list of all colleagues who have listed that skill on their profiles, click View Insights to get a detailed overview.
In most pages where you view skills, you are able to use the filter and the search function. Click on Filter and then you can select one or several departments and/or one or several office locations. The filter enables you to see the data that you specifically want to analyse. To do a search simply click in the search field and start typing what you are looking for. You can search by simply typing a few letters.
The size of bubbles depends on the number of individuals who have selected that specific skill plus the skill/interest level of each individual. For example, 10 people have selected Adobe Photoshop and they are all beginners. Additionally, 10 people have selected Excel and they are all experts. When these two skills are displayed as bubbles in the Team/Org overview, the Excel bubble will be much larger than Adobe Photoshop since the total skill level is higher for Excel.
The number indicates the total number of people that possess this skill and that are available as of today.
With MuchSkills you can create a skills-based project or permanent team in just a minute.
