Living job architecture. Governed by design.
JobNav is the job profile engine inside the Payscale Intelligence Cloud — one governed source of truth that powers benchmarking, planning, and hiring.
Most companies keep two job libraries. Only one should exist.
The HRIS holds one version. Word docs and spreadsheets hold another. JobNav is the governance layer in between — one profile that syncs from your HRIS, stores classification and acknowledgements, and writes approved changes back.
- System of record — profile changes, federal FLSA, employee acknowledgements
- System of action — build, level, and govern the architecture in one place
- Stays in sync with your HRIS — pull job data in, push approved updates back
Architecture, descriptions, and classification — in one profile
One architecture. Every family. Every level.
JobNav holds every role to the same families and levels, then flags anything that drifts when the structure changes.
- Leveling templates that cascade — edit once, and every affected profile is flagged for review
- Matrix comparison across families and levels — consistency you can see, not just hope for
- AI-assisted authoring grounded in your internal structure and language
- Full audit trail and role-based approvals built into every change
Job descriptions that don’t go stale
JobNav drafts responsibilities, skills, and competencies from your governed job summary and leveling templates. Never from market data. HRBPs and managers edit in-line, approvals stay structured, and every version is captured.
- Generate responsibilities, skills, and competencies from the governed summary
- Inclusive language guidance that doesn’t block authoring
- Collaboration, approvals, and full version history in the same workflow
Classify once. Prove it anytime.
Classifying the role isn’t the hard part. Proving it later is. JobNav runs the federal exemption questionnaire in the profile, versions every determination, and ties acknowledgements to the exact version signed.
- Structured federal FLSA questionnaire in the profile workflow
- Full change history: what changed, when, and who approved it
- Acknowledgements tied to the specific profile version signed
One profile. Every downstream decision.
JobNav is the structural layer of the Payscale Intelligence Cloud — the governed profile Ascent prices, Paycycle plans, and JobNav Recruiter posts. No duplicate jobs. No re-mapping. No drift.
- Ascent — Benchmarking and Smart Price pull from the governed profile, so market matches reflect the role as it actually exists
- Paycycle — Merit cycles, budget planning, and pay equity operate on the same leveling framework HR maintains
- JobNav Recruiter — Postings generate from the approved profile — level-aligned, skills-mapped, and compliant by default
