Job descriptions are a diverse tool for Human Resources. Whether used for hiring or conducting a performance review, at some time one or many job descriptions have crossed your desk as an HR professional. In short, a job description is a “written statement that describe the duties, responsibilities, required qualifications, and reporting relationships of a particular job” according to the human resources section of about.com.
