Terminology and context
A job title is the name of a personâs job/role (e.g. Customer Success Manager, Account Executive, CEO). In 15Five, this field appears in multiple places: job title is an identifying attribute in employee profiles, appears in Best-Self ReviewÂŽ, and is visible in an employeeâs Career Hub.
If your company doesnât use SCIM to manage job titles, a personâs job title can be edited by accounts admins, a personâs manager, and the person themselves.
A job description is a short summary of the general goal and impact of a role. Job descriptions are visible in two features: Best-Self ReviewÂŽ and Career Hub. You can only upload job descriptions if Career Hub is enabled in your companyâs account.
Job descriptions appear in three places in 15Five. In Best-Self ReviewÂŽ a personâs job description appears in reviews that are being written about them so the review author is aware of what the reviewee does at their company. A personâs job description also appears in their Career Hub so they and their manager are aware of the general expectations and aim of their role. And, finally, a personâs job description appears in their profile under the âCareerâ tab.
A personâs job description can be managed by accounts admins in bulk via CSV, or one-off by their manager in Career Hub.
Job responsibilities are specific responsibilities and tasks required of an employee in a role.
Job responsibilities are visible in the âRole clarityâ tab of an employeeâs Career Hub. Here, employees are asked to rate how energizing their job responsibilities are. You can only upload job responsibilities if Career Hub is enabled in your companyâs account.
Job responsibilities can be managed by the employee or their manager from within Career Hub, and are visible both in Career Hub and in the âCareerâ tab of their profile.
Projects & tasks are projects/tasks that an employee completes in their role, but that arenât part of their written job description/responsibilities. You can only upload projects & tasks if Career Hub is enabled in your companyâs account. Projects & tasks are visible in the âRole clarityâ tab of an employeeâs Career Hub. Here, employees are asked to rate how energizing their projects & tasks are.
Projects & tasks can be managed by the employee or their manager from within Career Hub.
Account admins: Manage job information for my company
This section walks account admins through how to manage job titles, job descriptions, and job responsibilities in bulk for your organization.
Before making edits to job titles, please note that any job descriptions and/or responsibilities you upload will be matched up to employees via the job title listed in their profile. That said, itâs important to make sure that all employee profiles list their accurate job titleâ meaning everyone with the same job should have matching job titles and none of them include extra symbols, commas, spaces, words, etc.
Note
If your company uses SCIM to manage job titles, you will not have the option to edit job titles in 15Five. Any desired changes must be made in your SCIM provider.
Edit job titles one-off
As an account admin, you can add or edit job titles for anyone in your organization. To edit an individualâs job title, please follow the steps in our âUpdate a person's account settingsâ Help Center article. Or, to review and manage job titles in bulk, follow the steps below.
Review and edit job titles in bulk
- Check accuracy of job titles for all employees: You can review current job titles for everyone in your company by exporting a CSV of all 15Five profiles in your company. Current job titles will be reflected in the âjob_titleâ column.
- Make edits to job titles: Using the âjob_titleâ column, confirm that the job title listed for all employees is accurate. If any job titles are not accurate, make desired edits directly on the CSV.
- Import updated job titles: Once youâve made all desired edits to job titles, save your CSV in a Unicode (UTF-8) format, then import it. Importing the updated CSV will cause all changes to be reflected in 15Five.
- Click on the Settings gear in the top right-hand corner of your 15Five account.
- Select 'Features' from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down and click on 'Career Hubâ.
- You are now on the 'Importâ page for Career Hub. Click Create new import.
- Click Download template to download a fillable CSV template for job descriptions and job responsibilities.
- On the CSV you will see columns for job_title, job_description, and responsibilities. Fill out the CSV for all roles in your company.
Note
Descriptions and examples of what should be contained in each column can be found in the âDownload templateâ tab.
- Once youâve completed your CSV, save it in Unicode (UTF-8)format. Then click the Create new import button to upload your file.
- When the upload is complete, you will see a summary of all information that is set to be uploaded. Click the Publish button to import responsibilities.
Account admins cannot access or update individual job descriptions or responsibilities anywhere in-app. You can, however, use a CSV import to update peopleâs job descriptions/responsibilities. If you need to edit a description or responsibility, create a CSV that includes columns for 'job_title' and 'job_description' and/or 'responsibilities', then follow the steps in the previous section of this article ("Bulk upload job descriptions and responsibilities") to upload your CSV. Changes will be reflected immediately upon upload.
Note
Only account admins have the ability to edit job responsibilities that were programmed by an account admin.
