What is the Job Profile [sn_hr_core_job_profile] table for?

[Francis Twyman]

I'm trying to understand what the Job Profile [sn_hr_core_job_profile] is used for within HRSD?

The only real reference to it is via the HR integration staging table, I can see how Job Profile mirrors data in Job Profiles on Workday for example. However it is not even referenced on the Job [sn_hr_core_job] table (although Position is which is very similar).

If someone could shed some light on how Job Profile is functionally used I would greatly appreciate it!

Many thanks

Hi @Francis Twyman ,

One of the projects i have worked they were using  job profile mainly for the designation a user had.

In many companies employees has Job Profile name, so that name gets pulled into servicenow from Workday or any HCM tool by integration.

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.

Thanks @Sandeep Dutta 

Did you add a reference on the Job table to Job Profile?

Nope !! Job record is very different from Jonb Profile.

The Jobs table is intended to track an employee's job history for use within the HR product. One use case for this would be to evaluate past job against new job for determining required activities during employee transfers. Another example would be for supporting employees that have split jobs/multiple job roles and filing cases against the correct job.

Generally People don't make use of Job Profile and go with Position Table.
