The Job Profile
We know it may seem obvious, but when conducting an interview it is imperative you actually know what you want to learn about the candidate and how to ensure the candidate meets your needs. To do that, we rely on a very handy tool called The Job Profile.
The Job Profile is for internal use only. It is a template and you can modify it any way you need to. Its intent is to provide you a structured way of identifying all the different components that best describe the job for which you are hiring. When marketing the position you can use this profile to feed what you will post. But, you will most likely cull from it as you won't want to share all the detail present.
Below is a PDF. Open it up. Look at it. It contains an empty template and two samples. Note how comprehensive the profile is. The more you understand the various aspects of a particular position, the better you can ensure you hire the right person. Also, the better you can validate that the position is indeed strategic and will align to your team’s overall goals and objectives.
