1 Share of the employment agent role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the human resources officer 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.

Why

Why this move works

A employment agent role treats 15 of its required skills as things a human resources officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply knowledge of human behaviour
  • communicate by telephone
  • develop professional network
  • document interviews
  • employment law
  • ensure gender equality in the workplace

What stands in the way is 2 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A employment agent role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a human resources officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure gender equality in the workplace assisting and caring
  • already held profile people management skills
  • already held support employability of people with disabilities management skills
  • already held job market offers business, administration and law
  • already held hire human resources management skills
  • already held assess character management skills

All 18 carried skills, including the 15 the employment agent role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

The 2 entries a employment agent role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

Note

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.
