Experience in HR


Hello All,

I have started working on some HR related stuff for the project. The first thing I had to do was to look into the job descriptions of the various positions.

There were so many job descriptions that I looked into but there was one interesting- procurement officer. This is position was announced three times but was still vacant. I looked into the activity list and it seemed fine. Then I observed the competencies, skills and qualifications required. I thought it was fine but the director informed me that there is something wrong with this part. After some investigation, we found that the qualifications announced in the job description are tougher than the market status. The qualification wanted Bachelors in Economics or public administration with five years of experience in the related field. Moreover, the salary that is offered for this position is not attractive compared to the qualification announced. Because of this small error, the position is vacant for the last seven months. Now we changed the qualification and re-announced the position. I am hopeful that we will get a good candidate this time.

What we learn in the book is not always sufficient. We need to look into more details.    

Regards,
Javid
