You can specify which skills are preferred/required for by navigating to the Matching section and selecting on the 'Skill Sets' panel. Select whether the skill set is required or preferred, and specify a qualification level and/or category and subject, then select 'Save'. Multiple skill sets can be placed on a Job.
Required/preferred skills for a Job can be specified via the 'Matching' tab on the Job’s main page and selecting Add on the Skill Set 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 for any desired skills.
A Job’s Matching tab - in this example, Tutor applicants with a PHD in accounting are preferred.
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.

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).
