An effective review process begins with a solid, shared understanding of what is being reviewed and, for most organizations, the job descriptions with all the associated competencies, requirements and experiences, is the key to this.
Managing job description is not simple, but when you need to manage a large number of jobs or if the jobs you manage are highly technical, this can be a daunting task.
Through centralized control, HR can enforce standards across departments, maintain the salary grade structure and insure that individual doing the same work are evaluated the same way However, only by collaborating with managers can HR access the detailed technical and real day-to-day knowledge needed to make a job description truly accurate and effective. The ability to manage job descriptions online in a manner that fully supports both of these perspectives is built into all HRTMS Performance

The video playlist (best viewed in full-screen mode) offers both the rationale and the step-by-step tutorial of our job description management function, offering some tips and tricks for you, even if you don't use our software.
The Job Description Management function was deigned to address a number of problems.
When Human Resources tries to manage job descriptions on their own, they face a number of limitations and issues:
- Too Many Jobs For HR to effectively manage
- Jobs become stale because there is no easy way to update them
- HR Does not possess the expertise needed to manage technical job descriptions
When individual managers manage job descriptions, a different set of issues usually arises:
- Changes are not communicated to HR
- Managers modify jobs to suit specific people creating unnecessary jobs
- Managers change the jobs to the point that it affects pay grade

- Collaborative management of competencies, requirements, or practically any other attribute

- Administrators have visibility into which managers are responsible for which jobs
- HR can assign job descriptions to managers for consideration and maintenance
- Managers can suggest changes to any attribute of the job
- HR merges manager suggestions into Job Description
