23rd January 2012
Here is a real job description for a job vacancy currently being handled by head hunters. The job? Head Coach for the England Rugby Team. A great example of how the functional areas of a business (in this case HRM) link through the the corporate (or strategic) objectives of an organisation.
You can read the full job description here.
There are quite a few references to objectives in the job description:
The Head Coach will:
“produce and implement a winning team strategy” (including the Rugby World Cup in 2015)
“lead and develop a culture of success and shared values”
“...ensure a high performing team culture”
“lead the people and processes required to create a successful England Tea,”
...and most intriguingly of all…
“Win the hearts and minds of the supporters, sponsors, clubs and the game in England as a whole to support and promote the England Rugby brand.”
Anyone fancy the job?
