Lets discuss the general and specific purpose of conducting a job description process.

A specifically carried job description includes detailed information about the kind of job, how it is supposed to be performed and what is expected to be delivered. Job description carried for general purpose typically involves job identification (title, designation, location) and a statement of duties and functions of a prospective or existing employee. The purpose of job description depends on the level of details the job findings include. Job Description is a summary of job analysis findings that helps managers determine what an employee is supposed to do when onboard. It depends on what HR managers want to determine and what is the objective of conducting the process of job analysis. A job description may or may not have specific purpose. Job description is all about collecting and recording basic job-related data that includes job title, job location, job summary, job duties, reporting information, working conditions, tools, machines and equipments to be used and hazards and risks involved in it.
