For Candidate Match
- Raw job titles from the last three years, taken from the employment history fields
- The normalized version of those job titles
- Job group and Job class
A hierarchical table is used to normalize job titles, which consists of three levels: classes, groups, and codes. Each of these levels can be used in matching.
