Job Specification...

JOB SPECIFICATION (Author Melody Luna)

DEFINITION

A job specification describes the knowledge, skills, education, experience, and abilities you believe are essential to performing a particular job. The job specification is developed from the job analysis. Ideally, also developed from a detailed job description, the job specification describes the person you want to hire for a particular job

COMPONENTS OF A JOB SPECIFICATION

EXPERIENCE: Number of years of experience in the job you are seeking to fill. Number of years of work experience required for the selected candidate. Note whether the position requires progressively more complex and responsible experience, and supervisory or managerial experience.

EDUCATION: State what degrees, training, or certifications are required for the position

REQUIRED SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND CHARACTERISTICS: State the skills, knowledge, and personal characteristics of individuals who have successfully performed this job. Or, use the job analysis data to determine the attributes you need from your “ideal” candidate. Your recruiting planning meeting or email participants can also help determine these requirements for the job specification.
