Job Opening Recruitment Process Step

The job opening is extremely important process step and it usually generates all the issues later in the staffing of the particular job vacancy. Most of mistakes in the job vacancy can be identified by the analysis of the length and cost of filling the concrete job vacancy as it takes long time to fill and the associated costs are much higher than the average reached for all the job vacancies.

The job opening is about a good definition of the job profile and the profile of a new employee. The job opening is not about a job title and several sentences about the scope of the job position as it is not sufficient for the HR Recruiter to find the right profile to the team.

The job opening process has to be designed on the basis of the desired outcomes from this process step. The HR Recruiter has to be sure, that the following outcomes are reached:

• job position exists
• staffing for the job positions is allowed
• the job position is described
• the manager confirmed the team structure
• the target companies are job positions are identified
• potential risks are identified

These outcomes from the job opening process step of the recruitment process are extremely important as they can block the staffing of the job position later in the recruitment process and it can bring huge misunderstandings.

The main goal of the job opening recruitment process step is to achieve the certainty among all involved parties in the recruitment process about the fair and right description of the job vacancy to be filled.

The job opening is about the discussion with the manager and confirmation about the job vacancy as the HR Recruiter does not lose time searching for the job vacancy, which is not official or it is not precisely defined.
