It is recommended that all available managers familiar with the job, including references to a current job description, be used to create this benchmark. The  Job Description Survey is a software design process whereby management can create a benchmark of job suitability for any position. Regardless of the design process used, management, in conjunction with the job description, should review and modify all benchmarks prior to use. To ensure this  Job Description Survey process is as accurate as possible, answer should only reflect the JOB IN QUESTION, AND NOT THE CANDIDATE.
