CONDUCT A JOB MATCH INTRODUCTION
This document is a “how to” desk aid to compliment the SKIES System. It is not intended for use as a complete guide. For specific instructions refer to the User Guide or for more information refer to Policy & Procedure Number 4008. There are three ways to conduct a Job Match (Only Job Orders in ‘Open’ Status and Seekers in ‘Active’ Status with Desired Employment are eligible for Job Match)

	From Job Seeker side: Seeker > Core Services > Job Matching.
	From the Employer side: Employer > Job Orders > Make Referrals > Match Seekers button.
	From Employer side: Employer > Job Match

Job Seeker > Core Services > Job Matching
This process allows modification of match criteria to extract greater or fewer matches, or matches more specific to the Job Seeker > Desired Employment.

• Select a Job Seeker.
• Click > Job Seeker on the Menu Bar.
• Check for completion:
  • Core Services > Basic > General / Additional / and Program Data screens.
  • Core Services > Employment > Desired Employment screens.
• Click > Job Seeker on the Menu Bar.
• Click > Job Seeker > Core Services > Job Matching.
• The Job Matching of Core Services screen represents the Job Seeker’s specific requirements. The Work Site County auto-fills (from Desired Employment).
• Select an O*NET Code or an O*NET Family to use for this search.
• Click > Search button.
  • When results are not satisfactory, the data may be changed, deleted, or added.
  • When results are not satisfactory, click on the Additional Search Criteria button. Delete all or some of the criteria.
• When results of the search are satisfactory, click to select the desired Job Order. Click > Details button to review the Job Order.
• Click > Make Referrals tab to refer the Job Seeker when appropriate.

TIP
Any changes made on the Job Matching of Core Services screen will not update the Seeker record.

Employer > Job Orders > Make Referrals > Match Seekers Button
This match process selects Active Job Seekers matched to Job Order specifics.

• Select an Employer.
• Click > Employer on the Menu Bar.
• Click > Job Orders. The Summary screen displays.
• Click > Select button of the Open Job Order.
• Click > Make Referrals tab.
• Click > Match Seekers button.
• View Search results.

When results display, view skills and details of each Seeker. Select Seekers to refer the Job Order, up to the number of available referrals remaining on the Job Order. Select and/or deselect. When the selection(s) is made, click > Populate Referrals to make the Reserved Referral(s). To return to the Referrals screen, click > Return to Referrals button.

Employer > Job Match
The Employer Job Match process allows the User to match criteria to extract greater or fewer matches, or matches more specific to the Employer request.

• Select an Employer.
• Click > Employer on the Menu Bar.
• Click > Job Match.
• Click to select the desired Job Order from the list.
• Click > Search button to return a list of matched Seekers. The Search for Job Seekers screen represents the Job Order specifics.
• When the results are not satisfactory, click > Return to Search screen button. Change, add, or delete criteria to return greater or fewer matches.
• Click > Clear Additional Search Criteria button or click > Additional Search Criteria and change, add, or delete criteria. Click > Return.
• When results are satisfactory, click > Select button to select Job Seeker(s). Click > Populate Referrals button.
• Referrals are recorded on the Job Order > Make Referrals screen as ‘Reserved Referral(s).

TIPS

1. Any changes made on the Search for Seekers screen will not update the Job Order.
2. The Employer > Job Match process enables the User to narrow the Seeker search per the Employer. Example: An Employer in King County requests only applicants who have specifically indicated King County as a desired work location. When the Work Site County data field is King County, only Seekers who indicated King County will match. Seekers who indicate ‘Statewide’ will not match.
