Are job descriptions necessary? A great question, many times we hire someone for a positon that is more than just making wiggets on a manufacturing line and creating a job description is not that easy. For instance take an administrative assistant position, there are more tasks for this job than spaces in the parking lot. Where do you begin with job postions like this and how do you do it right? One of the first and biggest mistakes employers make when hiring a new employee is not being able to provide them with a clear description of what they should be doing with detailed instructions. This is a sure way to set someone up for failure and who’s fault would that be? There is a big cost each time you hire a new employee it would seem that having a good job description would be well worth not having to repeat the cost of rehiring.
