Are JobNet/TAXIS converted records considered TAXIS records and therefore unable to merge because the system recognizes them as TAXIS/TAXIS records? (05/22/07)

Converted TAXIS records are considered TAXIS records and can not merge. We initially received a full dump of TAXIS created Employers when SKIES went into production. From that point forward, records are received through the regularly scheduled interface. That is the difference between converted TAXIS and interface TAXIS. All still originated from TAXIS.

What about data conversion records (not specified as JobNet)? Are they TAXIS records and cannot merged – or – can they merge? (05/22/07)

As long as the originating system was not TAXIS or through the interface with Go2Worksource.com, the system allows them to merge.

How to keep other counties, WDAs, people, from having access to a particular office or area’s employer record? (05/22/07)

Currently, there is no policy or statewide practice to prohibit WDAs from sharing an employer record. This concern will be presented at the next SKIES Change Control Board meeting to assist with identifying the appropriate entity for resolution.

Locating an Employer in New Placement: Why can’t I locate the Employer? I was trying to exit a Job Seeker out of Seeker Programs/Unsubsidized Employment and clicked on the New Placement button, clicked on the New Job Tab and I cannot locate the Employer

In the Locate Employer Screen/Employer Field-type in the Employer Name followed by a % wildcard. Click on the Query Existing button and SKIES will show a list of Employers. Click on the Select button, to the left of your Employer, and finish with the Job Placement information.

Employer/Job seeker Job Match: Will I get the same list of Job Seekers matched for a Job Order when I access the Employer/Job Order/Make Referral tab/Match Seeker button as when I access the Employer/Job Match/Search button?

NO. The two lists of Matched Job Seekers are different? The two processes, searching for matching potential job seekers and searching for available job openings are definitely two separate processes and the results will vary. The search for available job openings matches against available job listings and the match criteria is one-to-one; the one-to-one match criteria is the same in the reverse search for matching job openings to available seekers; is again specifically designed to match the job listing exactly or better. Therefore, the results of doing these searches, i.e., search for openings and search for seekers will rarely show the same detailed information. Depending upon what criteria is on the job listing, will determine what seekers are listed as results of that search. Visa versa if the detail on the seeker is slightly different and the available job listings will vary as well.
