Job Analysis/Descriptions

Hiring the right people and setting realistic expectations for managing employee performance is fundamental to an organization's success.

Establishing an effective hiring process and performance management system starts with an analysis of individual jobs. We perform a job analysis to identify the essential duties and responsibilities of a position and the knowledge, skills, and abilities that a person must possess to succeed.

The job analysis process allows us to “let a job talk” and describe WHY a job exists. The WHY of a job is the value a person creates by successfully carrying out essential duties and responsibilities. Gaining clarity about WHY jobs exist and how people create value is critical to selecting top performers and aligning people with an organization’s mission and strategy. 

The results of the job analysis are used to develop written job descriptions that will serve your company in a number of important ways to include:

  • Establishing objective hiring criteria
  • Developing position specific interview guides
  • Creating performance evaluation tools
  • Identifying training needs
  • Assisting with organizational planning
  • Properly applying Wage & Hour classifications
  • Managing liability connected to employment decisions
