In this task I will be describing the different recruitment documentations which are managed in
an organisation or business retail industry. The job role which I will be discussing about is ‘Sales
assistant’ at Tesco. Tesco is an international business; located universally. Employers at the
store who serve the customers are identified as sales assistant.
Job description
A job description is a formal account of an employee’s responsibilities. The agenda of a job
description is to inform the employees about the job. It is important to be provided with a job
description before being employed as you will be aware of what job, is suitable for and fitted
into. It also specifies the main responsibilities and accountabilities which leads to the key tasks
being performed in the business environment or the organisation. Job description has important
areas which must be covered to make it a good job description, these include:
Provide the essential employees with important information about the job. This will help
the employee better understand how their activities fit into the total organization.
Inform where the job is located; in order for the employees to calculate their route to work
so they meet their punctuality
The job description forms an important part of legally binding contract of employment;
this is part of the legal expectations.
The purpose of using a job description is that it will benefit the organisation as their staff will be
qualified and have better understanding, also they will improve their skill based and experience
which is beneficial to the company as their success will be enhanced. Job descriptions are very
significant as the employee gets an opportunity to gather information about the duties,
essential skills required, outcomes, responsibilities and the work environment of a specific job.
In the recruitment and selection process the job description is very important, as it provides the
employee with important information regarding the job they’ll receive. This is also important as
the employees will be prepared for their job role, whether they are entitled or unentitled before
they apply for the job.
Here is a print screen of a job description summarised for job seekers at Tesco. The Job
description summarises the requirements for both personal and employability skills which the
job seekers are required to carry. The job description also keeps them aware that the job role
will involves quite a lot of sacrificing in social times to attend work. This piece of information will
help me decide if I’m still interested in the job and if I’ll be willing to take the offer.
