Support for Employers

The aim of the SCQF Inclusive Recruiter Process is to help employers understand that many different qualifications have the same worth and to encourage use of SCQF Levels in the recruitment process in order to offer clarity around skills and experience.

Organisations recognising skills by using SCQF levels in the recruitment process.

The SCQF recognises a broad range of different qualifications in Scotland, which allows you to understand how qualifications have changed and then easily compare an applicant’s qualifications. The SCQF Partnership can also help you compare qualifications gained outside of Scotland.

The SCQF Employer Guide and Levelling Tool are practical guides that provide clear advice about how to use the SCQF for recruitment and staff development.

The SCQF Partnership can support you through the credit rating process.
