MATCHING PROCESS
The supervisor must firstly identify description of job to be done for the particular
activity. The written statement which include all detailing about work to be
performed by worker is called as job description. The detailing could be in the form
of nature of work, procedure or method to carry the work, type of technology, time
required to complete work, safety precautions etc.
After identifying job supervisor must find right people to perform defined job
description. Supervisor must be clear about sort of person he is looking for. For this he
must be clear about all requirements of the job.
Job description and finding people for performing this job both are different
activities as both require different skill set.
The major role of supervisor is to match right people for right job description. It is
also called as matching people to job needs. It is very complex and time-
consuming activity. Success of organization will only follow after careful matching
of people to job.

If matching process is not done properly then we may not get right person, even
by offering high salaries, by various manpower sources, by carrying expensive
recruitment drives will not give right person.

For purpose of matching the person shall look for following two important factors
