Writing and Updating Position Descriptions

One of the key steps to a successful recruitment is ensuring that an accurate and detailed Position Description is available for all positions at Western. These documents are utilized for a variety of key tasks including developing specifications that the ideal candidate needs to possess, providing a framework for understanding the position, providing outcomes for the position, and establishing where it fits in the organization with regard to compensation and reporting levels. It is always best practice for the Leader to review the current Position Description and to update it accordingly, and/or create a Position Description when commencing a search.

This link provides information which will assist you in this process.

In-addition, your HR Consultant is available to provide guidance and coaching to develop the Position Description required to meet the needs of all concerned.
