Associating job responsibilities with job titles is described. A database system identifies a job level and a job department associated with a job title stored by an object. The database system identifies level-based job responsibilities associated with the job level. The database system identifies department-based job responsibilities associated with the job department. The database system identifies at least one job responsibility associated with the job title based on the level-based job responsibilities and the department-based job responsibilities. The database system stores each identified job responsibility in metadata and/or a field associated with the object. The database system outputs a message based on the object to a user device, in response to a search that specifies any identified job responsibility.
