What are the weightings of the various Jobscore factors?
Unlike many other evaluation systems, Jobscore is not a fixed value, lookup table where the points for each factor and level are added to arrive at the final points score. In Jobscore the weighting of a factor is determined in part by the levels chosen for other factors. In other words, the factor weightings are not independent of one another. Jobscore, therefore, examines simultaneously levels specified for all factors, and determines a ‘big picture’ evaluation for a job. This ensures that each factor’s contribution is not only accounted in its own right, but also for its contribution to supporting other factors. The algorithm which does these determinations is complex, and constitutes Jobscore’s primary intellectual property. NRC therefore cannot disclose the algorithm. Nevertheless it will be said that the calculations are sufficiently complex that they would be impractical to complete without the aid of a computer. Which types of organisation use Jobscore?
