Job Analysis, Job Descriptions and Person Specifications
£17.99
Learning Nexus
Job analysis, job descriptions, and person specifications sound like three pretty dry subjects! But think about it – employing the wrong person can be a costly, and stressful business. Many disastrous recruitment decisions have resulted from getting just one key element of the recruitment and selection process wrong. Not getting anything wrong, of course, depends on robust processes and good skills. However, robust processes and good skills, in turn, depend heavily on effective preparation - and this crucial preparation phase is detailed within three important documents:
• The job analysis
• The job description
• The person specification.
The duration of this course is 20 minutes and can be completed over multiple sessions.
By the end of this course you will be able to:
• Use job analysis to aid diversity and avoid discrimination
• Describe the content of job analysis
• Describe the key elements of a job description
• Understand the benefits of a person specification
• Describe the the key content of a person specification
• Understand essential and desirable criteria
• Be able to avoid discrimination within a person specification
