Job Skills Model 
A job skills model, also known as a skills and competency model or competency framework, provides talent management and HR with a common language and set of expectations for success. Often organizations lack the time, resources, or expertise to develop and maintain a customized model from scratch.
Salary.com's new Skills & Competency Model – the industry's most comprehensive, up-to-date database of jobs, skills, competencies, and proficiencies, now integrated with JobArchitect software – helps you build and maintain your company’s customized model, simplify job structure, inform recruiting and internal mobility, align compensation with performance, and create strategic career pathways.
