Position OU - Create - Step 5 - Attributes

The Attributes tab allows the administrator to define job attributes. Job attributes can be defined by utilizing criteria from the Resume. Attributes such as education, experience, skills, etc. can be used to define the attributes and requirements ideal to a particular Job OU. This allows for candidate profile matching, job profile matching, career pathing, enhanced succession and workforce planning. In order to utilize the Job attributes, Succession Management must be enabled. If Succession Management is not enabled, then the ability to add Job attributes will not be available. This functionality allows you to add criteria from Resume sections to define Job attributes. Completing this section of the Job OU setup is NOT mandatory.

To create a Position OU, go to Admin > Tools > Core Functions > Organizational Units. Then, click the Manage Organizational Unit Hierarchy link. Select Position from the Organization Unit category drop-down list. Then, click the Add Position link.
