HR
Challenge: Job Analysis and Competency Modeling
Prepare a
1-2-page job description and competency model that follows a specified example.
You will use O*NET OnLine (onetonline.org) to select the job.
Job analysis, job
competencies, and job descriptions form critical elements of employee
recruiting, selection, and organizational staffing. We must understand the job,
know its nature, and describe its competencies before we can announce the
position and attract quality applicants. To get to this point, the HR
professional must have the skill to conduct research, including employee and
supervisor interviews. These interviews will contain valuable real-life
information that will describe the job to be advertised and filled. For this
assessment, you will be developing a position description.
