What is a Job Title? 👔
A job title is a label given to a position within an organization that describes the responsibilities of that employee. Within the platform, you can create job titles and then assign these to specific users in your team.
Examples of job titles: Line Manager, Supervisor, Engineer, Machine Operator
When creating a skill profile, you can decide to assign that skill profile to either an entire team or to only certain job titles within a team:
Assigned to an entire team: This means all users in the team will receive the defined skills in their portfolio
Assigned to only certain job titles: This means only users in the team with the selected job title will receive the defined skills in their portfolio
