Job Analysis and Position Profiling
Do you have up-to-date job descriptions that let employees know what is expected of them? Do your job descriptions capture the key activities and challenges that incumbents need to address? Can they quickly be turned into compelling job ads?
To hire, develop or transform a team, you need a clear, thorough understanding of job requirements. This knowledge allows you to articulate the key tasks, significant challenges, and the level and type of skills, knowledge and abilities required to perform in the job successfully. Accurate job descriptions are the cornerstone of an integrated approach to human resource management.
Cambria Consulting’s work is a significant improvement over traditional job and role descriptions. Our position profiles focus on the essentials for key jobs and roles, defining the knowledge, skills and behaviors needed for top performance, and aligning them with business priorities and key job challenges. With Cambria, you will have the information necessary to improve decision-making and planning for hiring, staffing, training, and career development.
Cambria’s job analysis and profiling methods include structured interviews and focus groups to determine responsibilities, challenges, and knowledge, skill and other competencies required, and surveys that efficiently and rigorously identify the importance of job requirements and competencies for specific roles and at specific levels in the organization.
Our clients are using our job analysis and profiling services to meet several objectives:
- To create compelling, concise descriptions for job advertisements and e-recruiting
- To clarify role requirements, establish key performance metrics, and reinforce alignment with other roles and business goals.
- To provide a consistent format for job postings, job leveling and compensation
- To highlight the most important competencies for bringing new or experienced hires on board
- To define career paths for related positions and clarify what it takes to be promoted to the next level.
If your job descriptions need updating, clarification or streamlining, Cambria Consulting can work with you to create and transform them.
