  7. Job Profile: Definition

A job profile provides a detailed summary of the responsibilities, duties, qualifications, and skills required for a particular job. It goes beyond a simple job title and includes a broader perspective on how the role fits into the organisation’s structure and goals. It may also outline the career path and potential growth opportunities associated with the position.

FAQ

A job profile goes beyond just the job title; sometimes, it can even include the organisational culture associated with the role, providing a more holistic view of the position.  Typical elements may include job summary, roles and responsibilities, qualifications and requirements, reporting structure, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) associated with the job, working conditions, and career growth opportunities.

Job profiles serve as a foundation for effective recruitment, performance evaluations, and employee development. They provide clarity in expectations, help attract suitable candidates, serve as a reference point for performance assessments, and enable employees to align their career goals with the organisation's objectives.
