Stillingsregistre

Stillingsregistre, or stillingsregister, refers to a register or catalog of job positions within an organization or the public sector. The register documents current vacancies and, in some implementations, historic job openings. It serves as a central reference point for workforce planning, recruitment, and internal mobility, rather than as a record of individual applicants.

A typical stillingsregistre contains fields such as position title, department or unit, employment type (full-time, part-time, temporary), level or seniority, location, salary framework if applicable, required qualifications and experience, language requirements, posting date, application deadline, and current status (open, on hold, filled). Some registries link directly to external recruitment ads or internal job portals and may include notes on the purpose of the position or its relation to budget and staffing plans.

Purpose and use: The primary functions are to enable transparent, proactive planning of staffing needs, support budget and strategic decision making, and streamline the recruitment process. For public bodies, stillingsregistre can facilitate accountability by making vacant positions visible to the organization and, in some contexts, to the public.

Governance and privacy: Data governance is important, with clear access controls to protect sensitive information. While the register focuses on positions rather than individuals, recruitment activities and applicant data are typically governed under privacy and data protection regulations and integrated systems.

Relationship to other systems: A stillingsregistre is often part of an HR information system or applicant tracking system and may interoperate with payroll, budgeting, and reporting tools.
