Use of objective skill assessment data combined with common sense to determine the best fit for a specific job.

• A. Job ranking
• B. Job description
• C. Job preview
• D. Job matching

Answer: (D)

Job matching involves pairing a candidate’s demonstrated skills with the exact requirements of a job, using objective data from skill assessments and practical judgment about how those abilities fit the real on-the-job environment. This approach aims to place the right person in the right role by evaluating not just what a candidate can do in theory, but how those abilities translate to day-to-day tasks, pace, and context. Job ranking would focus on ordering jobs or candidates by a criterion, not on fitting a specific person to a particular role. A job description outlines duties and qualifications but doesn’t decide which candidate is the best fit. A job preview provides information about the job to the candidate, helping set expectations, but it doesn’t constitute a formal fit assessment using skill data and common sense.
