Bookshelf v7.5: Creating Job Profiles

Creating Job Profiles

A job profile is a collection of job-related information, or properties, that define the purpose, responsibilities, and requirements of a specific job role. In the process of defining a job profile, you create required competencies by associating existing skills with a job profile. These required competencies allow managers to determine whether employees meet the required skill levels for specific jobs.

Siebel ERM compares an employee's skill levels with the skill levels associated with a specific job profile. The skills associated with a job profile can also be used during performance management to help determine whether an employee meets the job requirements. The Human Resources department can use the required competencies to determine whether job applicants meet the minimum requirements for an open position. It is important to associate the appropriate skills and minimum skill levels with job profiles so that employees, managers, and administrators can integrate skills analysis and management across the entire work force.

Job profiles can be imported to Siebel ERM using eAI. For more information about importing job profile information using eAI, see Overview: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume I. Job profiles can also be created in Siebel ERM using the Administration screens.

To create a job profile, the relevant job code, job family, salary grade, EEO Category, and FLSA must already exist. For more information on creating job codes, job families, and salary grades, see Setting Up Compensation Planning.

To create a job profile

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Competency Administration > Job Profile Administration.

NOTE: Before you create a new job profile, make sure the job profile you want to create does not already exist. Query the Job Profile list using the name of the job profile you want to create. If no records are returned, you can create the new job profile.

In the Job Profile list, add a new record, and then complete the fields.

The following table describes the fields in the job profile record.


Field	Comments
Essential Functions	A brief description of job duties and functions.
Job Code	The job code associated with the job profile. The Job Code Name and the Job Family fields are automatically populated based on the job code.
Job Profile Name	The name of the job profile.
Main Purpose	Description of the job's main purpose.
Total Number of Reports	Specify the total number of reports.
Travel	Indicate the percentage of time spent away from the home office.
