A document describing a job's duties, responsibilities and employment conditions.
Once a staffing need has been identified, the employer prepares a job description and a person specification. They answer different questions: What does the job involve? and What does someone need to do it well?

Revise: Recruitment MethodsFor a shop-supervisor vacancy, the job description might include organising staff duties and supervising customer service.
