Values	Expected Data
JOB_ID	If known, SuccessFactors role GUID
JOB_TITLE	Role Title to be analysed either from Job Profile Builder (JBP), or to be entered into JBP
JOB_FAMILY	Job Family for Role from JBP or to be entered into JPB
JOB_DESCRIPTION	Either all text section data from JPB or any role text data you want to be considered for skill extraction. If no description is available, the skill library builder will generate a description behind the scenes for the purpose of skill extraction.
LEVEL	Free text section to define the level of a role within the organisation. Examples being, entry, managerial, directorial etc

• Step 2: Select the roles you want to analyse and define required output files

Once either all or a selection of roles have been selected, select ‘Process Data’ and define the processes you want to run.

Types of Processes:

• Job to Skill: The job to skill process will output the unique list of skills and tags for Talent Intelligence Hub and the role to skill mapping with expected proficiency rating for Job Profile Builder.

• Reference Data: If selected, a reference file containing the 5 closest job matches from the Lightcast industry data and the respective skills are displayed to provide a data comparison point to assist in your validation of the data.

• Process Proficiency Description: For each skill, dependent on the defined rating scale, text descriptors are created for import to Talent Intelligence Hub. The text will inform employees within SuccessFactors of the expectation to achieve a specific proficiency level.

Processed Skills Tab: Once the data has been analysed, the processed skills tab will show the role to skill mapping within TalentBox and provide the export files for company validation and review.

Following validation and confirmation, the skills are added to Talent Intelligence Hub where a unique identifier is added by SuccessFactors, this value is required to map the skills to the roles. In addition the ‘Tags’ and ‘Skill to Tag’ files are imported via the integration centre.

Defining skills – These skills represent the day-to-day tasks and responsibilities of the job. An employee needs these skills to qualify for and perform successfully in this occupation. In our house analogy, these skills are sort of like the walls that define the unique shape and structure of the building. Distinguishing skills – These are the advanced skills that are called for occasionally. An employee with these skills is likely more specialised and able to differentiate themselves from others in the same role. Sort of like the skill equivalent of an ornate wrought iron fence, marble driveway, or some other feature that sets your house apart from others on the street. AI Skills – Additional skills generated by artificial intelligence and compared against the Lightcast skill library.
