Job descriptions cover the most basic information – duties, responsibilities, education, experience, travel, etc. All important, but…..
Job Outlook….Do you capture the manager’s strategic thoughts (in writing and with a signature) about their current team and the open position BEFORE the hiring process begins. Then carry that important information through the interview(s) and the actual hiring decision. It is an addition, not a replacement for the job description.
Job Outlook Form
This form provides strategic information about the current and future needs of the job. For example:
- What is your hiring goal or statement?
- How many A, B and C employees on the current team?
- Managers review their current team – 15 items.
- Managers detail the job position to include biggest challenges, future needs, their definition of an “A” player, etc.
- What are the managers 1, 3, 6 month expectation goals for the new person?
- Form is signed by the manager before the hiring process begins.
- Forms are available for Sales, Leaders, Customer Service, All Purpose, IT, and Entry Level
Interview Evaluation form
Drive your job description and the strategic information from the Job Outlook™ form through all interviews. This form includes:
- Legal reminders on what a manager can and cannot say during an interview
- The five key question/answers that managers must know before making their hiring decision.
- Candidate’s profile on core competencies, key factors, impression during the interview(s), which assessments will be used, etc.
- Form is signed by the manager before the hiring process begins.
- Forms are available for Sales, Leaders, Customer Service, All Purpose, IT, and Entry Level
Notes:
- Entry Level Form is for high turnover areas. Because of the high volume we suggest the Interview Evaluation form. It is recommended that managers periodically fill out the All Purpose Job Outlook™ form to refocus their thoughts on the specific job priorities for those high volume positions.
- Five percent (5%) of all sales will go to Autism Speaks or Parkinson Disease research
