A crucial aspect of working with independent employees to help you with your day-to-
day, non-strategic service processes is developing a clear and concise job description.
An excellent job description will offer prospective candidates the competencies and
abilities needed to perform the function, the base for the employment agreement, and
where the job fits within the total company hierarchy. Here are the 5 actions you need
to follow to create a concise and clear job description for your outsourcing needs.

Step 1– Developing the Job Title

An exceptional job title is the first building block of any job description. A great job title
will have the ability to accurately show the nature of the task and the work that will
need to be done; With no gender or age implications, it should be generic enough that
applicants can compare it to similar tasks on the market, and is obvious for recruitment
functions.

Step 2– Figuring Out the Duties

The job description should contain a list of the tasks relevant to the performance of the
role, as well as the estimated amount of time that will be spent on each position.
Instructions should be two or three sentences long and include an action or purpose.

Step 3– Noting Skills and Proficiencies

Competencies and skills are extremely various things and should be listed individually.
Skills are defined as activities the worker can perform based upon what they have
actually learned in the past, while competencies are traits that you can anticipate the
prospect to show in the role.
Step 4– Determine Working Relationships

When producing a clear job description, it is important to include reporting lines and
employment relationships. Reporting lines work to clarify the duties of the position by
showing who the candidate is accountable to. This is necessary to give the candidate
a good idea about the hierarchical structure and how the job fits into it. Including the
labor relations of the people and departments on the list of businesses that the
candidate will have to deal with.

Step 5– Income

Instead of simply assigning a specific income to the position, produce a wage variety
to include in the task description that is competitive with similar positions at other
organizations. This will allow for variations in candidate education and experience.

A great task description is more than just a list of tasks and obligations. When well
written, they give prospective employees a clear picture of the position. The more
precise the task description, the better it will be in the future.
