Of course, the list of features can be expanded and this technique can be applied 
in various fields, including production, but for simplicity, we will focus on eight 
basic features. Obviously, the coefficient of formation of 
К

, unlike other 
coefficients, does not change over time.

This technique allows you to assess several factors of a graduate's competence. 
In this case, the possible lack of one indicator is compensated by another, higher one. 
The criteria are assessed according to a five-point system. To evaluate each criterion, 
the result of a psychological test is used. 
From the point of view of the practical implementation of this technique, its 
adaptability to solving certain problems is essential. For this, depending on the 
requirements of a certain employer, he can independently assign the values of the 
significance coefficients or the weight of each criterion 
x
i
, i = 1, .., n,
based on the 
needs of the enterprise. The methodology described in (1) does not provide for a 
differentiated recruitment for specific personnel. Therefore, we have

i=1,..,n

If we add additional competency criteria for management personnel, for 
example, those given in Table 1, then this qualimetric method will allow us to 
differentiate the level of training of a graduate in the field of management - from a 
performer, a middle manager to a manager. Taking into account the weights, the 
coefficient of competence takes the form:

Qualimetric assessment of the competence of graduates is carried out on the 
basis of a differential method to determine the relative indicators of the competence 
of a graduate. With regard to graduates, it shows how the actual level of competence 
relates to the baseline, which in this case is considered as required: 
In order for the employer to independently select the required personnel from among 
the graduates, it is necessary to simplify the determination of the significance 
coefficients. For this purpose, the method of limit and nominal values was applied: 
x

1/(𝑄

)
∑
1/(𝑄

𝑖=1

where 
𝑄

н

is the nominal value of the indicator
Q

, 
𝑄

-
limit value of the 
indicator

. 
In our case, the limit value is 5. The nominal value is set by the 
employer in accordance with the qualification requirements for a particular position. 
In this method, the complex value of the competence coefficient does not change, 
since the condition is met: 
∑

𝑖=1

Let us consider this method in relation to the assessment of the qualifications of 
graduates of a higher educational institution according to the requirements of a
