Job Description

An accurate description of what a new employee will do in order to decide how to divide the work between employer and employee.

Definition: Creating a job description is a key step in the hiring process. You must be able to accurately describe what a new employee will do in order to decide how to divide the work between yourself and your employee.

Description: A job description is helpful in evaluating whether you need a full-time employee or a part-timer. It can form the basis of advertisements that you run, and can be used to present a clear picture of the job-to-job applicants. Finally, it can play a part in evaluating whether an employee has met the expectations you set.
