Required or preferred skills for a Job can be specified via Activity > Jobs > select the Job > Matching, then selecting Add on the 'Skill Sets' panel. This will open the Desired Skills panel, from which you can specify whether the skill is required or merely preferred, the level of skill required for the Job, and the desired subject category. Multiple skill sets can be placed on a Job.
A Job’s Matching tab.
TutorCruncher will compare the desired skill sets on a Job with your Tutors’ skills. When a Tutor views their Available Jobs page, they will be able to cycle between tabs that show them Jobs for which they are partially or fully qualified. When you send Job notifications, you can also choose to send them to partially or fully qualified Tutors, making it easier to match Tutors to appropriate Jobs. Your Tutors will still be able to apply to any available Job, regardless of qualifications.

Finding a Tutor for a Job based on the Tutor's location
You can invite Tutors within a certain geographic radius to apply for a Job by following these steps:
Assign a default Location to the Job if you haven't already - you can do this via Activity > Jobs > select the Job > Actions > Set Default Location.
Assigning a default Location to a Job.
Navigate to Activity > Jobs > select the Job > Matching and select the Send Notifications button within the 'Job Applications' panel. This will open the 'Send Job Notifications' panel, from where you can apply a Location filter (in miles) to specify the radius from the Job's default Location.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I include information about a Job not covered by the default Job settings?
You can customise what information is detailed on your Jobs by using Custom Fields. If you create a Custom Field, and set it to apply to Jobs, that Custom Field will be shown whenever an Administrator creates or edits a Job.
Navigate to System > Settings > System Customization > Custom Fields and select Add Custom Field. Set the ‘Apply To’ field to Job and specify the Job’s name and type via the dropdown menu. From here you can also specify whether the field is required when creating/editing a Job alongside which user types can access/edit/view the Custom Field (note that your Tutors will not be able to view or edit your Custom Fields without toggling the ‘Tutor can view’ checkbox).
