Job Descriptions: More Than Just for Hiring

The first step in hiring for any position in your practice is to write a job description. When composing a job description, you should describe: 

  • The purpose and responsibilities of the position,
  • The daily and periodic duties of the position,
  • Lines of authority, and
  • The specific qualifications needed.

A well-written job description is more than an advertising tool. It also can: 

  • Help determine salary and benefits,
  • Serve as the basis for performance reviews and appraisals,
  • Help employees understand their role within the practice, and
  • Identify areas for staff training.
