How hrmforce measures this

Test of declarative job knowledge, usually assembled per client.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Looks up the required procedure in the manual and follows it step by step on a familiar task. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Knows the rules of the own field by heart and applies them without reference material in varying situations. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Oversees the knowledge base of the whole domain, decides which knowledge must be secured and documents it for the organisation. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
