I found this an interesting read..
http://www.tlnt.com/2014/09/17/job-descriptions-its-time-hr-let-marketing-take-them-over/
The point of the article is that JD’s don’t tend to add strategic value because they are often generic and become out-dated very quickly.
So why do we bother?
Is it time to accept they are no longer as useful for things like employer risk mitigation or role clarity….and re-purpose them to a Marketing tool?
If so, why is this task still sitting in the HR function for most Businesses? and not Marketing? Would love your thoughts.
