the vacant position according to his qualification, experience, skills and capabilities. This is
based on their written test, interview etc.
Person specification is one of the most important documents in the organisation. As it
allows the manager to choose a kind of person company wants. It treats every candidate fairly
and unbiased. And compares each candidate with other and makes selection on the basis of
evidence.
