The Job Spec

The first step to filling your available position is to write a detailed job specification or job spec, for short. The job spec is essentially a description of the vacant position and the type of person you’d like to fill it.

It contains information about the job including the department and title, salary range, job description, responsibilities including day-to-day duties, description of the typical working day or week and level of contact with other staff members and senior management.

The job spec also contains the desirable qualities you’d like in the candidate including their technical, organisational or communication skills, qualifications, level of experience and suitable personality and character traits.

For ease, use our job spec template below. On the basis of the job spec, your dedicated consultant will source suitable candidates.
