The Job Dictionary is built on public classifications that are free to reuse. Here is each one, its licence, and the corresponding attribution.
The first occupation and skills taxonomy designed for Latin America. It provides the Spanish names, descriptions and skills for the 3,000+ roles in this tool. Published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence, which permits commercial use with attribution.
Este servicio utiliza la Taxonomía Mapha desarrollada por OTIC SOFOFA
The European classification of skills, competences, qualifications and occupations, on which MAPHA builds its Latin American contextualisation. Reusable under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU.
This service uses the ESCO classification of the European Commission.
The International Standard Classification of Occupations. It provides the top four levels of the tree and the code of each group. We use the codes and group titles as distributed within ESCO and MAPHA; we do not reproduce the official group definitions, which are copyright of the ILO.
Information on ISCO-08 is based on an original work published by the ILO under the title International Standard Classification of Occupations, ISCO-08. Copyright © 2012 International Labour Organization.
The Obrii Job Dictionary integrates three public classifications into a single browsable role page. The methodology is reproducible: each role keeps its ISCO-08/ESCO/MAPHA code, skills are grouped by category (knowledge, skills, transversal competences, languages), and we flag which are essential vs optional according to the source taxonomy.
If you use a role page in a report, job descriptor or selection material, cite the tool and the original sources. Examples:
Occupation taxonomies solve a recurring selection problem: every company names the same role differently. ISCO-08, ESCO and MAPHA provide a shared code and definition so roles can be compared across industries, countries and providers without arguing about job titles.
For HR teams, the dictionary speeds up role profiling: purpose of the role, essential skills separated from optional ones, and a note on what to assess before the offer. It is reference material—it does not replace a job analysis or Chilean legislation—but avoids starting from scratch.
For headhunters and selection consultancies, the page works as a job-descriptor base, as a bridge between search intent (“hire a KAM”, “find an operations director”) and the taxonomy code, and as an anchor for long-tail SEO/AEO content. Over 3,000 roles and 14,000 indexable skills.
The data shown here is an adapted version of the original classifications. We removed fields this tool does not use, regrouped skills by category, display a single gender form in names for readability, and added our own layer of Chilean synonyms that does not exist in the sources. The European Commission, OTIC SOFOFA and the ILO do not endorse these modifications or our use of the data.
This dictionary is reference material for designing selection processes. It is not legal or employment advice, it does not replace a job analysis, and the descriptions come from third parties: they do not reflect Chilean legislation or the specifics of your organisation. For binding decisions, consult your employment adviser.
A clear profile is half the work. The other half is finding someone who meets it and confirming it with evidence. If you need direct passive-talent search with psychometric assessment of finalists, see our headhunting service; if you only want to explore roles, return to the dictionary hub.
