Lewis Carroll said, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” We can paraphrase this as follows: If you do not know what you are looking for, you would not know when you have found it. This sounds so logical, does it not?
It is also true when you are looking for someone to fill a position. It is essential to know exactly who you are looking for; otherwise, you are unlikely to find the right person.
Take the time to do a detailed job description; listing duties, experience required, and ideal qualifications. When describing the experience and qualifications in a job description, it is important not only to consider the current or previous employee in the position. Instead, think about the requirements for the ideal candidate for the position.
A good job description is essential for a good appointment but is not always so simple.
