Your ability to hire the right employees, staff your projects effectively, and manage your team’s performance depends on writing great job briefs. Unfortunately, most managers don't put as much thought as they need into this task, or relegate it to HR.
Then they get frustrated with their talent acquisition team or recruiter for not producing the right candidates. Or they wonder why their projects aren’t succeeding. Or they have performance management conversations that don’t create change.
As boring as you might think that writing a job brief is, it’s the key to hiring well the first time. You’ll learn how to do it effectively in this masterclass.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a four-step process to help you refine your thinking, allowing you to adeptly articulate what you need to fill your role or staff your project. Better still, your conversations around performance will become earlier and more effective.
This course is part one of a four-part series on recruiting engineers. Learn more about this series.
