Why we read it this way (7)
The SOC classification is a judgement call: the role is primarily HR data reporting and analytics within a specific platform (Workday), sitting between 15-2031 (Operations Research/Data Analysts, for its BI/reporting/dashboard focus) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts, for its HRIS configuration, security, and systems-support duties). 15-2031 was chosen as the primary because the dominant day-to-day work is producing analytics and insights, not systems configuration.
No overall years-of-experience figure is stated in the posting; 'strong hands-on experience' is qualitative only.
Excel, Power BI, and Tableau appear under a 'familiarity with' framing as supplementary tools, so they are marked as preferred. Power BI and Tableau are listed as interchangeable alternatives to each other in that context.
The role is described as hybrid (onsite + remote blend) based in Chicago — it is not fully remote.
No compensation range is mentioned in the posting.
A relevant HR/data qualification (CIPD, HR analytics certification) is noted as beneficial but not essential — it is a soft credential rather than a named technology, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Workday Reporting.
