SIRS® Job Families: Matching Made Easier
To help participants match their company jobs to appropriate SIRS® benchmarks, SIRS® benchmarks are organized by job families and subfamilies. This system allows SIRS® to maintain a comprehensive list of individual jobs and still make job matching easier no matter how your company is organized.
