-

-
Explain to a client why a particular job in a particular vocation is most appropriate to their needs at a particular point in time.
Fitting a client to an occupation is something that may be done within organisations or by careers counsellors, recruitment agencies, work consultants, etc. Consultants are often tasked with finding suitable candidates for specific jobs. From an organisation’s perspective, they are primarily concerned with getting the right person to fill a vacancy.
To fill a vacancy, employers need to have specific information relating to the position, such as the skills required and the job rewards. With job-specific knowledge, employers can determine who they should target for recruitment and what information to use in job advertisements. Sometimes, the information needed is available. For example, it may be found from job descriptions that the organisation has previously used. Sometimes it might be accessible using online databases. However, at other times job descriptions change, new jobs with new descriptions emerge, or the organisation simply lacks enough knowledge about the position. In these cases, organisations might conduct a job analysis for recruitment purposes, or employ an agency to conduct one for them.
An alternative to job analysis is to look at work competencies, i.e., groups of related behaviours or attributes required for successful job performance. Both these approaches seek to identify KSAOs, however whilst job analysis is more focused on the fit between the job and the individual (or vice versa), work competency models also emphasise a fit between the organisation and the individual i.e., the individual’s values, attitudes, and personality.
