Ian, the director of the graphic design department at ISR Designs, is looking to hire a graphic design coordinator because the current coordinator, Jay, is being promoted. Jay’s former position has changed a lot since he first took the job and Ian is now looking to Human Resources to help redefine the job requirements so that he can start recruiting. Which of the following would be used to determine the job requirements?
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the above: competencies, job description, and specifications would be used to determine the job requirements for a graphic design coordinator position at ISR Designs.
Key Takeaway: The job requirements for an open position are typically created after managers and human resources personnel have determined what is necessary for a candidate to do to ensure success in the position. Typically, the job requirements are determined by core competencies, a thorough job description (which identifies the tasks and responsibilities of the position), and the job-specific KSAs that are necessary for job success.
