Bring Order to Chaos

Job Description Workflows

Without a well-defined process it is nearly impossible to manage job descriptions effectively.

JobArchitect gives you the flexibility to design a workflow for your organization or upload an existing one. With our centralized command center, you can track progress and job description status with ease. And your revision history is automatically documented, giving you insight into how a position has evolved over time and a paper trail to support audits.

G2 Leader in Job Description management

“The flexibility that JobArchitect provides will be beneficial for us when it comes to standardizing our job descriptions across the board, especially with our custom branding. We write job descriptions in conjunction with the departments and organizations we support, so it is vital that we have a way to share drafts with these stakeholders. The user-friendly interface will make collaboration simple.”

"We like to include other staff members in the job description building process, but ultimately the comp team has the final approval on any job description. However, as we move towards pay transparency, we want our job descriptions to be easily accessible for anyone who wants to view them, which JobArchitect will be able to do for us.”

“JobArchitect saves us time and money. Being able to now link the building of our job descriptions back to the compensation side is night and day better from our previous process… We love that we can do whatever we want to do with our job descriptions from one page."

“Salary.com has helped us better manage our job descriptions – from providing a user-friendly system to develop detailed descriptions, to helping create a clean, branded product for our stakeholders. I am all about efficiency and reducing keystrokes, and Salary.com listened!”

"I find JobArchitect to be highly intuitive. Working in a large organization, our library of job descriptions continues to grow, and the platform has helped us meet the changing needs of our organization. We have been able to adapt the platform to meet our needs which has been crucial for success in our organization.”

Collaboration

An accurate job description starts with collaboration.

The Elevate add-on for JobArchitect helps you quickly share published job descriptions with the rest of your organization, provides managers with modern tools for proactively requesting and approving job descriptions, and maintains an audit trail of employee acknowledgment.

Market Pricing

Price Jobs with Confidence

Accurate job descriptions are fundamental to getting pay right. JobArchitect ensures that you are working with comprehensive, approved job descriptions so you can feel confident that you are pricing jobs accurately.

Our CompAnalyst integration makes it simple to publish and integrate job descriptions for use within the Market Pricing and Salary Structure modules ensuring accurate pricing and consistency across locations and departments.

Precision You Need to Hire Right

Job Specifications

After the job position summary, job descriptions include essential job duties and responsibilities followed by job specification, detailing the minimum eligibility requirements, including skills, competencies, education, and experience required to perform a particular position.

Focus On the Top Job Priorities

Writing Job Duties and Responsibilities

A detailed job description includes the job duties and responsibilities section. Limit job duties and responsibilities to 4 to 6 broad areas that describe the job, including the level of decision-making or management scope. You may add a general statement to describe job duties performed sporadically.

Use JobArchitect stand-alone or with CompAnalyst® to amplify your entire compensation management practice.

No one delivers the one button integration to market price or the combination with seamless reporting. You can blend the fields in JobArchitect with any CompAnalyst fields for a wholistic view of the true status of your jobs.
