Jobs vs positions

In Quinto, a position is a container for an employee and a job is a description of requirements to perform a role. For example, you might have three people in your organization performing the same role of Sales Representative. Here’s how to set that up in Quinto:

First, you’ll create a job description that outlines the competencies, responsibilities, education, etc. required to perform that role. You’ll only need one job description.

Next, you’ll create three positions. You can name them all the same, or you can specify details that differentiate each one (e.g., “Sales Representative - Toronto”). Fill each position with a user, and link all three positions to the one job description.

Linking users to jobs through positions allows HR to see how many users perform the same job and where vacant positions can be filled.
