Job analysis, job competencies, and job descriptions form critical elements of employee recruiting, selection, and organizational staffing. We must understand the job, know its nature, and describe its competencies before we can announce the position and attract quality applicants. To get to this point, the HR professional must have the skills to conduct research, including employee and supervisor interviews. These interviews will contain valuable real-life information that will describe the job to be advertised and filled. For this assignment, you will be assisting our senior HR professional Kimberly by developing a position description.
