Best practices for managing job descriptions

Content

We have a project this year to re-design what is included in our job descriptions.  Over the years, our job descriptions have become inconsistent.  We use PeopleSoft to store the job codes, SharePoint to organize them, and Taleo job/requisition templates to post them.  We are looking for best practices to manage the job descriptions library.

I would like to hear your recommendations/thoughts/ideas about any of these questions:

• What are the main components (description overview, responsibilities, qualifications, education, competencies/skills, experience, etc.) included in your job descriptions?
• Who writes your job descriptions (hiring managers, HR business partners, compensation, etc.)?
