The job posting process can be broken into a few specific steps, which are described in detail below.

Defining the job

A key part of leading a team is preparing for and responding to changes that impact the team: its priorities and focus, workload, work processes, and team members. It鈥檚 important to regularly assess your overall operational needs, including future needs. You鈥檒l want to review current processes and business practices to ensure high efficiency and high quality.

If it鈥檚 determined that you need a new position on your team or the job responsibilities of an existing position have changed, it鈥檚 important to clearly define the new or revised job description so that it accurately reflects the duties and responsibilities of the position. This will be the foundation for recruiting, developing and retaining talent. It will also set the stage for optimum work performance by clarifying responsibilities, expected results, and evaluation of performance. It is also an important component to maintaining a fair compensation system and ensuring compliance with both University policies and legal statutes.

Your first step in defining the job will be to consider the objectives and responsibilities of the position. These, along with other key aspects of a job like qualifications, scope, physical requirements and hazard assessment, should be documented on the University鈥檚 job description form.

In some instances, it may be appropriate to gather input from the incumbent(s), specifically if there are a small number of people in the position (3 or fewer) and if there is ambiguity regarding the position鈥檚 responsibilities. If an employee provides input, the supervisor retains responsibility to review the final job description and complete review and approval steps with their HR Business Partner. If you are unsure of the information necessary, please consult with your HR Business Partner. There are several new job codes and functional job classifications post-CPM (Career Path Modernization)
