You can identify the competencies that workers in an organization or holders of jobs or positions must possess. When you use the Suitability Matching function or advertise a vacancy, the application can compare worker competencies with the competency requirements for an organization, job, or position to find suitable candidates.

Use the Competence Requirements window.

   To define competency requirements for an organization, job, or position:

1. Select the organization, job, or position.

2. Click Find to display existing competency requirements. Note that positions inherit competency requirements defined for the business group (the core competencies), organization, and job with which they are associated. If the application displays existing competency requirements, then you can:

   • Delete or edit existing competency requirements. To delete an existing competency requirement, select the competency and click the Delete icon.

   • Define additional competency requirements.

3. To define a competency requirement, click the first empty row of the competency table and select a competency.

4. In the Low and High fields, select the extents of the rating scale that are desirable for this competency in this organization, job, or position.

5. If all workers in this organization, job, or position must possess this competency, select Essential. When performing suitability matches, the application lists workers who possess this competency separately from those who do not.

6. For jobs and positions only, select a grade, if appropriate.

7. Enter the date from which this competency is required.

8. Repeat Steps 3 through 7 to define additional competency requirements for this organization, job, or position.

9. Save your work.
