A competency profile for an employee or an applicant is a template which consists of a set of competences.
A competency profile for an applicant proves useful during the matching of an applicant to vacancies or vice versa, whereby it can be used to shortlist the most suitable vacancies for an applicant or to shortlist the most suitable applicants for a vacancy. Thus an applicant must have a competency profile and the ratings of the competencies assigned before it can be used to perform matching.
This function is available only if you have set the competency method to Advanced in the general HRM settings. For more information, see Defining HRM General Settings.
At this screen, you can maintain the competency profiles created for an applicant or an employee.

Once you have clicked Add, the Competence groups screen will be displayed. You can select the required competency group to be added to the profile of the applicant or employee. Once selected, the Competency section will display the competences that are grouped under the selected competency group. A competency profile must not have a competence with the same code in a different level or group. For example, if the first competency group added has a competence with code “001”, you cannot add another competency group which also has the competence with code “001” to the profile.
See the following screen for an example:
The competence that has a green check mark under the Linked column indicates that the competence is already linked to the applicant or employee and that the review can be done for the particular competence. To link a competence that is currently not linked to the applicant or employee, click under the Link column. If you want to remove a competence from the profile, click under the Delete column.
