CE is a process-driven concept with four essential components:

- Discovery - Gathering information from the job seeker and the CE support team (a group of multiple partners, including the employment specialist who all jointly take some responsibility for the job seeker’s needs; however, the job seeker is the ultimate decision-maker) to determine the job seeker's interests, skills, and preferences related to potential employment that guide the development of a customized job.

- Job Search Planning - Using the information learned about an individual job seeker in Discovery to develop a plan toward a meaningful employment, determine a list of potential employers, and conduct an analysis of benefits.
- Job Development and Negotiation - Working collaboratively with the individual and the employer to negotiate a customized job; the provision of supports; and the terms of employment that will match the individual's interests, skills, conditions necessary for success, and specific contributions, and will fill the unmet needs of an employer.

- Post-Employment Support - Setting up on-going post-employment supports and monitoring the employment relationship to ensure satisfaction of both the individual and the employer.

Those providing CE services must have a range of competencies within these four components that enable them, in collaboration with the job seeker and the employer, to complete the tasks involved in CE. In some settings, CE services are provided by an individual employment specialist (that is, the key person who is working with the job seeker to develop a meaningful employment). In other cases, a team may provide the services.
