The fourth column contains our opinion on the job description. The job description shows a wide and varied range of tasks that the candidate must be able to carry out, and in fact the requirements are particularly specialized and appropriate for this job. It seems like a very demanding job with high expectations. The inaccuracy of the job description could seriously undermine the effectiveness of its purpose. This means that this job description may attract many people who are likely to fit the requirements of the job description, then ask for information that was not provided and try to negotiate new terms and conditions, and then may reject the job offer or be discarded. This will cost the company time and money. Person Specifications Person specifications essentially describe the ideal person for the job. Provides a detailed description of the qualifications, knowledge, specific skills and attitudes, experience and personal characteristics needed to perform the job effectively. It also helps you decide where to focus your research and advertising effort. The person specification must match the job description to attract the most suitable potential candidate.
