for eg: recently the company in UAE held a walk in interview, they made two big blunders.1) they never listed the companys full address, but yes a phone number was listed. guess what happened next? hundreds of phone calls asking for directions, the operator must have had a bad day2) they mention for eg: sales executive but do not mention the requirements. (so what does that mean? hundreds of candidates with no relevant exposure in the same industry walking in for an interview). I Strongly urge every recruiter in the UAE to carefully use public domains for vacancies being posted and clearly describe the requirements. Peopls give their valuable time to your ads online.
What does a Job description do? It tells you the basic QRs for the Job, unfortunately the JDs are made withpout giving thought for the same. Most times it is cut copy paste job which is vague and does not give the correct picture. Some JDs are so elaborate and detailed that the person who fits all would have to be super hero.
The JD is the start point for a candidate to understand the profile and see if he/she fits and then apply. If the same is shoddily prepared you will be bombareded with number of mis fit CVs and work will go up trying to just sort out the chaff from wood.
It is interest of the recruiter to give a clear, concise and achievable JD.
Job descriptions are essential to the successful development and implementation of many HR programs, including compensation plans.
A detailed explanation of the roles and responsibilities of the post advertised
Most applicants will ask for this before applying for the job – they want to know what is involved!
Refers to the post available rather than the person
It specifie the eomplyees role of responsibility.
Job descriptions are used to develop a recruitment campaign that clearly articulates the duties to be performed and qualifications required by the organization for the position
Interview questions, hiring criteria and the screening process are based on the duties and qualification outlined in the job description
JD(job description ) is as important as a key is to a padlock, for the preliminary selection to take place they must be a JD in place . otherwise your opening a door for the entire town. for freshers industrial attachment/internship will help them to be selected.
