Hybrid Positions

The Hybrid Positions feature in the Salary Assessor allows the user to define a position as a weighted set of several positions.

 

To Create a Hybrid Position

1.From the Search Jobs window, select Hybrid Jobs.

 

 

2.The Edit Hybrid Positions window will open.  Click New.

 

 

3.Enter a Hybrid Name for the new blended position in the blank field.  Hybrid names are unique, so you cannot select an existing Position Title or Hybrid Name already found in the Salary Assessor.  If you enter an already existing position name, you will be instructed to try a different name.  Once the name is complete, click OK to return to the Edit Hybrid Positions screen.

 

 

4.Double-click on a row under Job Title to select a position that will form the composite hybrid position (using the Search Jobs tool).  Click OK to return to the Edit Hybrid Positions screen.

5.Enter the Weighting % for the composite hybrid position you just selected. Simply click in the cell under Weighting, type in the value, and press Tab on your keyboard.  

6.Repeat this process for all of the positions that will form the hybrid (the rank order of selected positions is not significant).  

 

 

7.Once you have selected the positions forming the hybrid and entered the Weighting % of each, check that the Total Weight adds up to 100%. If the total does not equal 100%, then a warning message is displayed.  Instead of entering the Weighting %'s individually, you may select Default Weights to evenly distribute the percentages among the selected positions.  Click on OK to save this Hybrid Position.

To Modify a Hybrid Position

1.Select the position from the Hybrid Name list.  

2.Click on one of the component positions and change the title and/or weighting.  

3.To delete the component position from the list of positions forming the hybrid, click the button.  

4.To delete all of the component positions in the list, click the button.

5.When complete, click on OK to save the updated Hybrid Position.

 

Unless deleted, the new Hybrid Position name will appear in the Salary Assessor's position title list after it is defined and can be selected for use in future analyses.  The Hybrid Position may be used like any other position throughout the Salary Assessor, except that a hybrid position cannot be nested inside of another hybrid position.  Among other things, you may narrow the analysis of a hybrid position according to a specific geographic area, industry, organization size (revenue), and/or planning date using Salary Adjustments.

 

Note: Variance statistics and position descriptions are not available for hybrid jobs.  The position description for a hybrid job will display the jobs included and their weighting.
