A properly written job description can have a ripple effect through the organization. These documents help employees, managers, and the organization as a whole understand what the purpose of the role is and what is required to accomplish the objectives. Unfortunately, many organizations don't properly complete this document but rather download a template or hastily put together a document that focuses on tasks rather than competencies.
Benefits of a Properly Written Job Description
How we do it
Our approach to creating job descriptions is to look at the tasks that will be assigned to this role and determine the competencies required to complete these tasks. By focusing on the competencies, these job descriptions help us to recruit better, train better, and conduct our evaluations on measurable factors. This leads to decreased turnover, improved performance, and better utilization of resources. Competencies allow us to assess candidates using improved interview techniques, assessment tools designed to measure specific competencies, and review training options for specific outcomes.
What are competencies?
A competency is a demonstrable or measurable characteristic or skill that enable or improve performance. Think of a carpenter for example. This trade requires a variety of competencies including math, hand tools, power tools, quality, detail oriented, team work, and estimating. By focusing on the competencies required, we help organizations find qualified candidates, train them, and continue to develop these people.
