Question One
Job requirements are the skills, experience, and attributes of a candidate that matches 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
increases 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

training at their previous workplaces. This saves the company extra costs budgeted for newcomer

Agencies usually go deeper than the client or competitors in fielding the right candidates for the
position because they have the liberty of using electronic data available online about applicants
and can make rational decisions basing on that information (Buchholz, 2011). The agencies also
reveal how companies earn all their revenue which naturally attracts candidates due to the
transparency. The agencies also show the applicants what difference the company is going to
make to them as compared to their competitors as well as sharing long-term interests of the
company with the applicants. After the individuals are selected by the agency for the hiring
process, all the testimonials, professional, educational certificates and a bac...
