Question One
Job requirements are the skills, experience, and attributes of a candidate that match the vacant position in an organization. Employers deem those qualifications as indispensable to satisfactory performance in the advertised position. The preferred job requirements that could be applicable to my chosen scenario are educational requirements, years of experience and specific skills and attributes.
These job requirements impact staffing in the organization in a number of ways. Hiring a person who has vast knowledge about a certain profession as is mirrored in the educational requirements will help in having the right person for the job. Vast knowledge about a profession increase the quality of work in the organization as errors are minimized. Hiring highly educated people as is required by the vacant post makes it easy for the organization to develop, cross train and promote them at considerably lower costs because they might have undergone the same training at their previous workplaces. This saves the company extra costs budgeted for newcomer training. Retention levels are usually at their highest when a company invests in staff development (Buchholz, 2011)…………………………………..words 2358
