📘 OX Job Code Guide

A comprehensive guide to understand how job codes are created, how to read them, and what each code means across OX OXIy and OX OXAy.

🧩 1. What is a Job Code?

A Job Code is a unique identifier for every job opening at OX Group. It helps HR, hiring managers, and internal systems track job postings efficiently.
