Using a Skills Matrix on Requisitions

Considerations for using a skill matrix on requisitions include:

1. The requestor is going to need to input the skills on the requisition with each of the skills prioritized. This will force the Requestor to think hard about what they are looking for in a candidate. This should improve the success of the overall process as down-stream activities will have access to more and better information about the required skills.

2. A Service Provider Contact when entering a SP bid, will get a notification when a candidate is missing the required skill. The SP Contact will then have the option of self-rejecting the candidate and not submitting them or they may even try to better-represent the skills of the SP in the event that the SP skills profile is missing information that actually existed for the candidate.

3. A service coordinator will want to compare the skills of candidates as part of their decision process. Once completed, they may eliminate candidates prior to entering them into the bid factor analysis due to a lack of skill fit. Service coordinators will need to visually compare the skills of the candidate against the skills of the requisition.
