# Map competencies to job levels

Admins can define the competencies required for each job level (for example, Entry Level, Mid Level, Senior Level, or Executive), and specify the proficiency level required for each competency. You can map competencies manually or import them in bulk using a mapping file.

### **Map competencies manually**

Navigate to **Settings \> Talent Frameworks**.

If you have an active subscription to Engagedly's Growth app, you can also access Talent Frameworks from **Apps \> Growth \> Settings**.

1. Go to **Career Framework** and ensure it is enabled.
2. In the “Job levels” section, click **Map competencies**.
3. Expand the job level you want to configure.
4. Click **Map competencies** to open the mapping panel.

![Map competencies to job levels1](https://help.engagedly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Map%20competencies%20to%20job%20levels1.jpg?width=670&height=242&name=Map%20competencies%20to%20job%20levels1.jpg)

     5.   Expand a competency category to view the available competencies.

     6.   Select the competencies required for the job level.

     7.   For each selected competency, set the required proficiency level.

**Notes:**

- The “Map competencies” option appears only after you create job levels.
- If the proficiency level is not set, the first level in the proficiency scale is selected by default.

     8.   Click **Save** to apply the mapping.

The selected competencies are mapped to the job level, and the job level card displays the updated mapping.

### **Map competencies by importing a file**

Navigate to **Settings \> Talent Frameworks**.

If you have an active subscription to Engagedly's Growth app, you can also access Talent Frameworks from **Apps \> Growth \> Settings**.

1. Go to **Career Framework** and ensure it is enabled.
2. In the “Job levels” section, click **Map competencies**.
3. Click **Import competencies** at the top right.
4. Click **Sample file** to download the template.
5. Open the downloaded template and enter the necessary details.
6. Save the completed template.
7. Return to Engagedly and click **Upload**.
8. Select the completed template.
9. Click **Import**.

**📒Note:** Job levels and competencies are matched using their respective codes. The required proficiency level is matched using its title or name. Rows containing unmatched job levels, competencies, or proficiency levels are automatically skipped during import.

**ℹ️Additional information:**

- You can export the current competency-to-job-level mapping for review or to use as a template before importing updates.
- The exported file is sent to your registered email address.
- If the same competency is mapped to a job level and a job title at different proficiency levels, the higher proficiency level takes precedence. For example, if a job title requires Problem Solving at L3 and the employee’s job level requires it at L2, the employee’s required proficiency level is L3.
- You can also link job titles to job levels through the job title import. When you link a job title to a job level, it inherits all competencies mapped to that job level.
