** to post for recruitment, JDX is to be used for all new and previously classified staff (non-academic, non-student) positions even if there have been no changes to the previously classified description, and updates to previously classified staff positions (i.e. vacancies) **
You can expect pushback from Comp and Recruitment if you submit a JD on an old word template or on the old Job Builder PDF template for classification or for recruitment.

JDX Job Builder (08/19/22)

Job Builder is an application for using Job Standards (Parent jobs) to create individual Job Descriptions (JDs, i.e. Child jobs). A Job Standard is a predefined template describing the Scope, Key Responsibilities and Knowledge and Skill requirements of a specific job level within a family. All Job Standards are categorized by Job Family, Job Function, Job Category and Job Code. All UC non-represented job titles have job standards developed. Most UC-represented job titles refer to the UC Net series and class concepts.

Job Builder (powered by JDX) is the replacement system for the old Job Builder. Job Builder JDX is a customized product of JDXpert, MarketPay Jobs, and PayScale.

Job Builder JDX will serve as a workflow engine and repository for ALL STAFF (non-student, non-academic) job descriptions. We have implemented this change to improve access to staff job descriptions for managers, to enhance the job creation experience, and to standardize many aspects of the job description format system-wide. Job Builder JDX offers many advantages that provide you with an improved user experience.

Advantages of Job Builder JDX:

  • Both PPSM (non-represented) and Covered (represented) staff job descriptions will be created using the new platform (no more word templates!).

  • The Reclassification Cover Page questionnaire is now incorporated as part of the template for all reclassification requests (simply select “Reclassification” for the Action Requested field on the job description template).

  • Physical, Environmental, and Mental Requirements (PEM form) continue to be incorporated as part of the JD template and automation is developed for PEM demand options.
