Reference SkillSurvey User Guides as needed. The user guides are not UW-Madison specific, so some of the screen shots may look somewhat different than your system screens:
Survey selection tool
The Survey Selection Tool maps 100 commonly recruited Standard Job Description titles at UW-Madison to SkillSurvey surveys via analysis of job qualifications. This tool supports consistent survey selection and can save time when initiating a reference check. Because every job is unique, know that a different survey may be a better fit than the one recommended.
This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels.
