Overview: Connecting to Jobs in Competency Models
Connecting a Job to your Skill Profile
If your organization is using the Competencies module on Ibbaka Talent, and there are jobs defined in an existing, active model on the system, you can connect any active job in the model to your skill profile.
NOTE: The term job is simply the default terminology we’ve used in our application to refer to any job or role defined at the ‘top level’ of the competency model. In other words, your organization’s competency model could be based primarily on one or the other. If the model incorporates both, Ibbaka Talent allows you to connect to the ‘top-most’ element in the model structure.
Connecting your profile to a job will allow you to:
Quickly accept skills into your profile that have been identified by your organization as must-have skills for the job
Optionally, you can accept additional skills that have been suggested for the job, one at a time, if you feel they are relevant in your skill profile
Self-rate must-have skills for the job independent of the other skills in your profile
Understand the target proficiency level that has been set for must-have skills in the job
Invite others to rate your skills and contribute to your SkillRank
Accept any additional skills that may be suggested for your job
How does my Skill Profile change when I connect to a job?
A few things happen when you connect a job to your Skill Profile:
All of the must-have skills identified for that job are automatically added to your Skill Profile under the ‘Core’ grouping of skills (to learn more about grouping skills in your profile, read our article on Skills).
You can change how these skills are grouped at any time. We recommend checking with your organization for guidance on whether or not re-grouping some of these skills is ok
Any additional skills defined for a job as ‘should have’ or ‘nice to have’ will be presented in the job window, and in your notification menu, as skill suggestions. You can add these selectively, or all-at-once
Any skills that are added as must-have for the job after you’ve connected it to your profile will be automatically connected to your Skill Profile
