Description
The purpose of a job description can be twofold, either to identify the role of a current employee and to form the basis of a performance evaluation, or to be used for recruitment of a new employee. It sets out the core responsibilities and functions of the employee and the skill and educational requirements and experience needed to be able to do the job competently. This is a very useful document to ensure that all positions within a company are well-defined and the employees are aware of the scope of their positions.
