HR-XML Application Profile

This page will present how the HR-XML specifications and related XML schemas could be profiled to reference InLOC data for several context such as:

Recruitment : using the Candidate (based on the HR-XML Europass CV profile) and PositionOpening specifications
(how to reference competency framework at the job and candidate level to ease profile matching)
Assessment : using the Assessment specifications
(how to reference, competency framework in the assessment catalog and in the related assessment result)
Talent Management Provisioning and Employee Performance Management
(how to manage employee and reference enterprise InLOC compliant competency framework)

Recruitment

Profile of the Candidate

The HR-XML Europass CV Application Profile already provide a way to include reference to external competencies based on IEEE RDC hosted by the CEDEFOP.

This proposal is extended to support reference to LOCdefinition or LOCStructure and level of competency.

Feature definition

PersonCompetency include:

CompetencyID with schemeDataURI which redirect to the LOC instance and eventualy a schemeID set to a specific value such as InLOC to avoid confusion with other CompetencyID element
An optional CompetencyEvidence which Score could be set to the value provided by the LOC framework

XML Example

InLOC pattern: single-URI-level-number
