There are dedicated and highly professional firms which help the top companies and organizations in the development planning route carefully and appropriately. There are certain questions of the organization which are logically answered by these firms. These questions are How can their people decide which roles would be best for them as they grow in the organization? How can they involve their people more in planning and carrying out their own development? How can they help their people to identify their strengths and their development needs? How can they keep a better track of the skills and knowledge of their people? How can they make better decisions about investing in employee development? And how do their people feel about their people development processes?

These firms also assist companies in giving full and informative job descriptions for the desired individual and candidate. There are few points which are kept in mind like Assembling SME’s who know the job/role in question, providing the SME’s with appropriate documentation, including job description and SME’s reviewing the applicable competency model, as if it were a menu, and select the competency domains or titles that apply to the targeted job.
