We've avoided doing this by job title because titles are a matter of prestige for the receiver and therefore subject to grade inflation. \"Years of experience\" is even more meaningless for well known reasons.\r\n\r\nActual experience levels are a non-public property. All large companies have an internal \"level\" hierarchy, but these hierarchies are not standardised from company to company.\r\n\r\nHasjob needs to a (a) start collecting level charts from across companies (possibly under NDA), (b) normalise them across companies based on pay and -- if we can somehow get our hands on this -- movement of people between companies, and (c) find a way to match candidates to experience levels to filter the jobs they see."}}
