Job Analysis

Job analysis is the systematic process of collecting information about a specific job, including its skill requirements, roles, responsibilities, and processes, to create an accurate job description. It also captures the physical, emotional, and other human qualities needed to do the job well.

This step matters because it helps make sure the right candidate gets selected. It feeds into recruitment and selection, performance management, and decisions around compensation and benefits, while giving employees a clear picture of what is actually expected of them.
