Program Description

Recruitment success starts with having a clear view of the role and precisely the outcomes you want the incumbent to achieve.  This course equips you with the skills to create position descriptions that not only attract the right talent but also set your new hire up for success.  Set the stage for onboarding success and long-term performance by defining expectations upfront.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

• Articulate the impact of any role, including primary objectives, scope, and desired outcomes.
• Define the key challenges, complexities, and demands of the role.
• Identify key deliverables, activities, and performance indicators for optimal performance.
• Understand the importance of key relationships and define collaboration expectations.
• Craft clear and informative position descriptions that accurately represent the level of autonomy and authority associated with the role.

What You'll Learn:

• We delve beyond basic responsibilities, helping you identify the primary objective of the role. You'll learn to unpack the desired outcomes the new hire will contribute to, understanding the role's impact on the larger team and company goals.
• You'll explore the breadth and depth of responsibilities, identifying potential challenges and complexities the new hire will encounter. This ensures you attract candidates who can thrive in the specific environment of the role.
• Learn to translate the role's impact and scope into actionable tasks. We'll guide you through defining key result areas (KRAs), the major tasks the new hire will perform, and the performance indicators that will measure success.
• Beyond technical skills, success in any role depends on strong relationships. We explore the key relationships the new hire will build within and beyond their team. 
• Understanding the level of autonomy and authority associated with the role is crucial. The course will help you define decision-making authority and the extent to which the candidate will be expected to operate independently and be self-directed in fulfilling the roles requirements.
