Developing effective job descriiptions that promote organizational outcomes is an important step in finding and hiring the right candidates. The human resources department might have descriiptions already created, but rewriting portions of job descriiptions with specifics or more information will help to ensure that candidates clearly understand the scope and responsibilities of the position. Even if a rewrite is not possible, a hiring manager should know what is in a job descriiption, including any organizational requirements specific to certain positions, such as skills testing, background checks, drug screening, and medical examinations.
Consider this scenario: You are the manager of a health care department or unit and have an open position for a nurse.
Develop a job descriiption for the nursing position.
Determine a plan for collaborating with the human resources department to fill this position.
Create at least 15 interview questions that you plan to ask the applicants and one scenario-based question.
Cite and reference sources.
Submit your communication strategy documentation, your interview questions, and your scenario-based interview.
