Profile & Settings

Your profile is how you appear across SkillHouse — in the directory, People Finder, and to managers and peers. Settings control integrations, timezone, and contact details.

Editing Your Profile

1. Go to Profile or Settings (from the user menu or navigation).
2. Update display name, job title, and bio as needed.
3. Save changes. Updates are reflected in search and directory.

Keep your title and bio current so others can find you for the right skills and roles.

Avatar

• Upload — Use a clear headshot or professional image.
• Remove — Clear the avatar to use initials or a default.
• Crop — Some flows allow cropping before saving.

Tip: A recognizable avatar helps in People Finder, directory, and feedback/recognition.

Connect GitHub

Linking GitHub helps SkillHouse understand your technical activity and can improve skill and project suggestions.

1. In Settings or Integrations, find GitHub.
2. Click Connect and authorize SkillHouse in GitHub.
3. After linking, your profile may show relevant repos or activity (depending on tenant settings).

You can disconnect GitHub at any time from the same place.

Connect LinkedIn

Connecting LinkedIn can enrich your profile with experience and skills.

1. In Settings or Integrations, find LinkedIn.
2. Click Connect and complete LinkedIn’s authorization.
3. Data used (e.g. headline, skills) depends on tenant configuration.

Disconnect from the same integration screen if you no longer want to link.

Timezone

Setting your timezone ensures:

• Meeting times and reminders show in your local time.
• Schedules for 1:1s and deadlines are correct.

1. In Settings, open Preferences or Profile.
2. Select your Timezone from the dropdown.
3. Save. Calendar and notification times will use this timezone.

Pronouns

You can optionally set pronouns (e.g. she/her, he/him, they/them) so the platform and others can refer to you correctly. This is usually in Profile or Preferences and is optional.

Personal Email

If your tenant allows it, you can add a personal email in addition to your work email. It’s used for account recovery or notifications, according to your organization’s policy. Check Settings → Account or Profile for the field.

Search Visibility

When you update your profile (bio, location, timezone, or other settings), SkillHouse automatically refreshes your search profile so People Finder results stay current. The more complete your profile, the better others can find you for the right opportunities.

Similarly, if your admin syncs data from integrations (e.g. Deel updates your job title, or GitHub syncs your repos), your search profile is updated automatically and an evidence record appears in your evidence list showing what was synced.

Tip: Update profile and timezone when you change role or location so recommendations and scheduling stay accurate.
