Job Descriptions |
Why do you need a job description?
Having formal job descriptions in place for each role enables specific duties and responsibilities to be clearly defined and assigned to individuals. With job descriptions in place it is clear to employees what their work role is and ensures tasks are not overlooked or duplicated by several members of staff. They can also be used to focus your recruitment to help you hire the best employees.
They ensure specific duties are allocated and that all tasks are being carried out. Reviewing the job description annually, or when you need to recruit for a position, is good practice to ensure that the description continues to cover all aspects of the role and all of the duties are still currently required. |
Whilst the main part of a job description lists all the specific duties in a role it should also contain a person specification detailing the personal characteristics that the ideal candidate would have to fulfil that role. For example, a person specification would detail the characteristic of a good secretary as opposed to just someone who can type and answer the phone i.e. confident manner, use to dealing with new people, etc.
Whether you are advertising in a publication or using the experienced headhunter an up-to-date job description and person specification is vital and In2HR can help you put one together. |
