Job descriptions are used in a variety of HR areas, most notably: talent acquisition and compensation. In order to ensure they are accurate and consistent across the organization, a job description template should be created for use with all employee groups. This template contains:
- General Position Information
- Job Description Summary
- Essential Duties
- Position Requirements (including minimum and preferred qualifications)
- Key Competencies (including core, functional, and leadership)
- Work Conditions
In combination, this information can be used to support job clarity, as well as a variety of business initiatives.
