Job Analysis - Module 4: Recruitment Process
Topic 2
To find the right person for the job, you need to have an accurate idea of the job itself and of the particular skills and attributes it demands. This can be carried out in a series of stages outlined below.
Job analysis
Job analysis involves examining a job systematically and in detail. There is no single way of doing this. Some methods include:
1) Direct observation may be helpful if you are analysing repetitive manual jobs, for example.
2) Discussion with the current job holder and supervisor or line manager is also a useful source of information.
3) Another method of job analysis is to use the checklist approach, ticking off the various aspects of the job as you consider them.
Organisational analysis
The broader organisational requirements can be as important as the specific ones for the job itself.
The organisation needs creativity, flexibility, the ability to work in a small team, and so on, from the job holder.
In line with the person-organisation fit described earlier, it is important to think beyond the technical aspects of the job to the cultural aspects of the organisation.
Job description
From your analysis of the job you can write a job description which will state what the job holder is responsible for and what they are required to do.
There is no one right way of setting out job descriptions. An accurate job description has various uses outside the recruitment process:
For example, it can be used to review staff performance in appraisals or to assess training needs when someone new starts with the organisation.
Within the recruitment process, the job description leads on to the next stage of specifying the type of person you are looking for to fill your vacancy.
Person specification
Once the job and organisational analyses and the job description have been completed, the next stage is to write a specification of the kind of person needed to fill the job you have just described.
It is important to be as precise as possible about the skills, knowledge, qualifications and attributes that are required for the job and about the experience and personal characteristics that are needed. It is good practice to specify what is essential or the minimum required to perform the job, as well as what is desirable.
To decide on the qualities required for the person specification you need to pick out key features from the job description. Think also about the context of the job and the wider organisational requirements to specify any elements of person-organisation fit that are important.
