Overly-narrow job descriptions are job security for premium headhunting as the choice of outsourced recruitment options!
As consultants, we create the all important “assignment brief” which goes beyond the haphazard job description and list of requirements provided by the client’s management or HR department.
A client interview to obtain answers to targeted questions is crucial to identifying details beyond the requirements and job description. A necessary, time consuming step to a successful placement. We use a standard questionnaire format to get additional information about job scope and work environment.
Asking the client to identify the following helps to create a detailed assignment brief;
What kind of personality do you think would respond best to this position?
What are the absolute “must-have” competencies for this particular position?
Define the Employee Value Proposition (EVP). A good EVP summarizes the challenges, projects, growth opportunities, learning experiences, and the type of work that needs to be done.
Why do people come to work at your company and why do they stay?
What does this job offer that is unique or makes it most attractive to a potential candidate?
How does it differentiate you from your primary competitors?
Describe real needs and clarify job expectations.
What are the 2-3 major challenges to be faced by the candidate in this position?
Define 6-8 deliverables i.e. steps required for on-the-job success.
What must the person in this job need to do to be considered extremely successful?
