Job descriptions can often make or break the talent pool when you are looking for employees. Many of the job descriptions we have seen in the past have little information about the actual job and just have the catch all phrase of "other duties as assigned". The job description can be the difference between a mediocre employee and a great employee. It can also be the difference between minimal pay for an employee in a position and a well compensated professional. The department needs to ensure that the job descriptions accurately depict the work that is being done, the level of experience and education and the conditions in which the work is being performed. By doing so, you give the human resources department a better understanding of who they need to target when looking for comparisons. Metz Group LLC knows first hand the struggles of poor job descriptions, both as an employer and an employee. Over the various municipalities we have experience in, we fought to get job descriptions changed so that they accurately explained the working requirements and the level of employee we expected. It also benefits the employees as they tend to receive better pay raise recommendations when compensation studies and market analysis are performed. Let us help build your job descriptions and get your organization on the right path to obtaining more valuable, more experienced employees.
