Stage 1: Job matching course

What is job matching?
Job matching (JM) is the process by which jobs are matched against nationally evaluated job profiles, thereby avoiding the need for local evaluations. It uses local job descriptions, person specifications and additional written or verbal evidence.
Most jobs can be matched to national job profiles and should not require the development of new profiles unless there is an industry-wide shift in professional occupation.
