What is job information in Career Hub (job titles, descriptions, responsibilities, and projects & tasks)?

Career Hub uses four types of job information to give employees and managers a shared view of role expectations and day-to-day work. This article defines each type and explains who can manage it.

> Note: Your organization may have renamed this feature. If you don't see "Career Hub" in your navigation, check with your admin for the name used in your account.

Important: Career Hub must be enabled in your account before job descriptions, responsibilities, or projects & tasks can be uploaded or managed. Job titles are available regardless of Career Hub status.

Direct Answer

Job information in Career Hub consists of four fields: job title, job description, job responsibilities, and projects & tasks. Each field has different visibility, edit access, and upload methods depending on your role.

Key Rules

Job title

A job title is the name of a person's role (for example: Customer Success Manager, Account Executive, CEO).

  • Job titles appear in employee profiles, in performance reviews, and in Career Hub.
  • Admins, managers, and employees can all edit job titles — unless your company uses SCIM provisioning.
  • If your company uses SCIM to manage job titles, job titles cannot be edited in 15Five. Changes must be made in your SCIM provider.
  • Job descriptions and responsibilities uploaded via CSV are matched to employees using the job title in their profile. Job titles must be exact matches — no extra spaces, symbols, commas, or words.

Job description

A job description is a short summary of the general goal and impact of a role.

  • Job descriptions appear in performance reviews (so review authors understand the reviewee's role), in Career Hub under the Role Clarity tab, and in the Career tab of an employee's profile.
  • Only admins can upload or edit job descriptions — via bulk CSV import through Career Hub settings.
  • Managers can edit an individual direct report's job description from within Career Hub.
  • Employees cannot edit their own job description.

Job responsibilities

Job responsibilities are the specific tasks and duties required of an employee in their role.

  • Job responsibilities appear in the Role Clarity tab of an employee's Career Hub.
  • Employees rate each responsibility by how energizing they find it. These ratings are visible only to the employee until they choose to share them with their manager.
  • Admins can upload responsibilities in bulk via CSV.
  • Managers can add or edit responsibilities for direct reports from within Career Hub — except responsibilities that were uploaded by an admin, which only admins can edit.
  • Employees can add or edit their own responsibilities from within Career Hub — except responsibilities uploaded by an admin.

Projects & tasks

Projects & tasks are work items an employee performs regularly that are not part of their official job description or responsibilities.

  • Projects & tasks appear in the Role Clarity tab of an employee's Career Hub.
  • Employees rate each project or task by how energizing they find it. These ratings are visible only to the employee until they choose to share them with their manager.
  • Managers and employees can both add and edit projects & tasks from within Career Hub.
  • Projects & tasks cannot be uploaded in bulk via CSV.

Common Misunderstanding

Energizing ratings for responsibilities and projects & tasks are not visible to managers by default. They become visible only after the employee shares them. See Career Hub for employees — Feature Overview for details on how sharing works.
