Claimant says they have created a profile and public
CV in Universal Jobmatch and allowed DWP to
access their account
13. If the claimant says they have created a profile and public Curriculum Vitae (CV)
in Universal Jobmatch (UJ) and allowed Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
access, you will be able to check this by using the ‘Find Jobseeker’ function from the
UJ application homepage and taking the action described in the
UJ toolkit
(paragraphs 9 to16).
14. You must also update Labour Market System (LMS) as follows:
Step
Action
1.
Select the ‘Pilots’ Hotspot on LMS.
Note: Where the ‘Pilots’ hotspot is not shown, select the ‘New Initiative’ hotspot
and select ‘Pilots’ from the dropdown menu list.
2.
Find the ‘UJ Pilot Marker’ option in the next window.
3.
Select ‘Vol UJ – DWP access’ from the dropdown menu list.
Note: This is required so you do not have to keep asking the claimant each time
they attend the office.
4.
Select ‘Save’.
5.
Set the day 1 conditionality pilot marker to ‘Day 1 completed’
6.
Select ‘NActn’ within the ‘Interview in Progress’ window in LMS.
7.
Select the 'UJ Registered' option from the drop-down list.
Claimant says they have created a profile and public
CV in Universal Jobmatch but have not allowed
DWP to access their account
15. You will not be able to login to their account to check they have created a public
Curriculum Vitae (CV) (you will do this by looking at the evidence the claimant has
provided by one of the methods in paragraphs 16 to 19). However, when you search
for the claimant in the Universal Jobmatch (UJ) application by taking the action
described in
UJ toolkit (paragraphs 9 and 10) it will tell you if they have completed a
profile and have created an account because your search will open a page that
returns a message which says, ‘User has not provided permissions to access
account’.
16. You will also need to explain, that because the claimant does not wish to allow
Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) access to their account (and this is their
decision not ours so you cannot issue a Jobseekers Direction (JSD) to gain access)
they will need to provide evidence that they have created a public CV. To help them
do this, suggest this may take the form of:
prints of their CV screens or pages from their UJ account. This will not be
possible for claimants who do not have access to a printer or cannot afford to
print out copies of these pages
showing us these CV screens or pages from their UJ account if they have
access to the internet on a smartphone.
17. If it is not possible for the claimant to do any of the above, advise the claimant
that they can login to their UJ account from an available DWP customer computer in
your office and print off the relevant screens or pages or show you the information on
the screen.
18. However, the responsibility is on the claimant to provide evidence that they have
created a profile and public CV by whatever means they choose.
19. If the claimant does not wish to do this, you will need to decide whether they
have created a profile and public CV based on the evidence they have provided.
