Does the level assigned to each position mean that OSP/Human Resources determined that the functions of the position require someone with a least that level of competency?
Essentially, yes. The crosswalk assigns each position to a level based on what is typically expected in the current classification level. If a position is assigned “advanced”, does that mean that the current staff member in that position should have that level of competency or if we are reviewing applicants, will HR also refer applicants with advanced competencies? The current staff member should have the competency level that has been assigned to the position. It is possible that they do not as a result of being new to the role, still developing in order to perform the full job, etc. When you recruit for a vacancy, you will decide whether to post at the contributing, journey, or advanced level based on your needs.
