Terminology and context

Job title

A job title is the name of a person’s 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 Review®, and is visible in an employee’s Career Hub.

If your company doesn’t use SCIM to manage job titles, a person’s job title can be edited by accounts admins, a person’s manager, and the person themselves.

Job description

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 Review® and Career Hub. You can only upload job descriptions if Career Hub is enabled in your company’s account.

Job descriptions appear in three places in 15Five. In Best-Self Review® a person’s 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 person’s 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 person’s job description appears in their profile under the ‘Career’ tab.

A person’s job description can be managed by accounts admins in bulk via CSV, or one-off by their manager in Career Hub.

Job responsibilities

Job responsibilities are specific responsibilities and tasks required of an employee in a role.

Job responsibilities are visible in the ‘Role clarity’ tab of an employee’s 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 company’s 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 ‘Career’ tab of their profile.

Projects & tasks

Projects & tasks are projects/tasks that an employee completes in their role, but that aren’t part of their written job description/responsibilities. You can only upload projects & tasks if Career Hub is enabled in your company’s account. Projects & tasks are visible in the ‘Role clarity’ tab of an employee’s 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.

Manage job titles

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, it’s important to make sure that all employee profiles list their accurate job title— 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 individual’s job title, please follow the steps in our “Update a person's account settings” Help Center article. Or, to review and manage job titles in bulk, follow the steps below.

Review and edit job titles in bulk

  • Make edits to job titles: Using the ‘job_title’ 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 you’ve 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.

Edit job descriptions and responsibilities

Account admins cannot access or update individual job descriptions or responsibilities anywhere in-app. You can, however, use a CSV import to update people’s 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.
