Job descriptions or role profiles are an essential component of human resource programs in all organizations. They support:

• Recruitment and Selection
• Job Evaluation
• Market Pricing
• Performance appraisals
• Training and development
• Compliance with Employment Legislation

While each organization may have a preferred and customized format for its job descriptions (or role profiles), the type of information that is generally includes is as follows:

• Purpose of the job
• Reporting Relationships
• Key Accountabilities
• Decision Making Authority
• Relationships with Others
• Qualifications – Knowledge, experience, skills, competencies
• Working conditions / Physical demands
• Signatures

We have developed a user friendly but comprehensive "job analysis questionnaire" to collect job-specific information to support the development of job descriptions.  If necessary, we can assist you further by interviewing incumbents and supervisors.   The final product is a series of customized, consistent, and professional job descriptions (or role profiles) that meet the specific needs of the client organization.
