Guideline 18. Establishing the profiles of jobseekers and unemployed persons

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

To facilitate the professional reintegration of unemployed persons, the institution develops a profile of jobseekers’ qualifications and both hard and soft skills, to determine their needs and to guide them towards the services and programmes best adapted to their situation.

Mechanism
Mechanism
  • The management should collect the basic information on jobseekers needed for its analyses and procedures, while respecting the right to privacy and proportionality. Self-assessment online services, combined with consulting offers and job engines, should be leveraged to help people make informed choices.
  • The management should find ways to identify relevant individual factors that affect the ability to return to work (including work experience, qualifications, soft skills, family situation, means of transport, etc.) and to estimate the chances of a rapid return to work. It is particularly important to identify jobseekers at risk of long-term unemployment.
  • The management should follow proactive approaches for job-matching that first build on existing strengths and fill gaps in the skills required to pursue employment.
  • The management should develop different types of support and adapt them to each type of profile.

  • The management should carry out a global assessment and profile of jobseekers in order to set up a portrait of out-of-work individuals, which will facilitate the job-seeking process by providing accurate support, and should mobilize appropriate partner institutions.
  • Trained staff should assess jobseekers as soon as possible after job loss. Information systems should be used to track individual needs and extract statistical data.
