Study of positions and job qualification

I have my own method of description and evaluation of positions adapted from those used by the largest firms specialized in the organisation of human resources of powerful companies. 

Each post analysis includes three parts:

Identification of the position
Description of the contents of the position
Criteria of qualification required. Usually the professionals required 5 criteria:

1. Knowledge necessary to hold the position, 
2. Social integration necessary to occupy this position, 
3. Responsibilities required for the position, 
4. Complexity of work for this position, 
5. Need for personal organisation, on the level of planning as well as individual availability.

The positions are then evaluated and ranked: this is the phase of job classification.

Job classification makes it possible to constitute a grid showing the hierarchy of wages.

I (or a member of the team) then carry out the evaluation of personnel to check the adequacy of man/post.

The conclusions obtained make it possible to establish the training plan.
