Welcome to Writing Job Descriptions and Person Specifications`
A
job description sets out the duties and accountabilities of the post, whilst a
person specification defines the attributes that are required to undertake the
role successfully; both are important components of the recruitment process.
This e-learning course will teach
you how to write concise and effective job descriptions and person
specifications. The process of job evaluation is explained, and users are given
the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the guidance notes and templates
typically favoured by modern organisations.
