The traditional job description that defines skills, education, knowledge and experiences have little or nothing to do with job performance. That is why they are worthless for hiring. In fact, our position is they are actually detrimental to hiring top talent. STOP USING THEM.
IF YOU WANT TO HIRE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE - YOU FIRST HAVE TO DEFINE SUCCESS.
Traditional job description don't define success, they usually define minimum standards.
Let's take a moment and analysis the traditional job description. Most define minimum standards and define a person rather than the job.
An example of a traditional job description includes:
·
Minimum years of experience
·
Minimum education
·
Minimum skills and knowledge
·
The duties, tasks, and responsibilities of the job
·
Personal traits:
·
Team player
·
High initiative
·
Self Starter
·
Excellent communication skills
·
Leadership ability
·
Minimum years of industry experience
·
Minimum years of management experience
·

And other useless information such as, who the position reports to, company information, organizational chart, etc.

This is NOT A JOB DESCRIPTION it is a PEOPLE DESCRIPTION!!

IN FACT IT DOESN'T EVEN DEFINE A TOP PERFORMER. IT DEFINES THE LEAST QUALIFIED PERSON. THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEKING.

Our S.O.A.R. worksheet guides you through the process of defining what you really want this person to DO when they come on board. It defines top performance in the position so clearly that the candidate knows exactly what you expect of them even before they start. NO MORE HOPING THEY CAN DELIVER THE RESULTS YOU WANT.
Traditional Job Descriptions are Worthless for Hiring
