This move: 37.1 of 100 · moderate

1 Share of the recruitment consultant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the employment and vocational integration consultant profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 30 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A recruitment consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a employment and vocational integration consultant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare for job interview communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held facilitate job market access communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held profile people management skills
  • already held job market offers business, administration and law
  • already held develop employee retention programs management skills

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
