Requirements profile
A requirements profile should tell what skills the company is looking for for a specific service. It is the starting point throughout the entire recruitment process and must ensure that the right skills are employed. Therefore, a requirements profile must contain the requirements and wishes that are relevant to the service.
Needs analysis before a requirements specification
A good start is to ask the colleagues for the position to be filled which skills they lack, new needs that have arisen, etc. Although HR and managers may have a clear picture, many may forget the closest colleagues who usually have quite good and specific insights into what is required for the position.
When the need has been mapped, it is time to start writing the requirements profile.

Why do you need a requirements profile?

Template for a requirements specification
Here are some good parts for a template to always include in a requirements profile in recruitment. Below is a list that you can start from.
- What the job entails
- What skills / experiences are required for the role?
- Education?
- System knowledge?
- Language skills?
- Scope & working hours?
- Desired start date?
- Salary, should be included if possible
When a requirements profile is to be created, it is easy to think here and now. Don’t forget to think long-term and what needs will arise in the future. Perhaps the company will change to another system in the near future so you will need that skill later on, then it may be time to include it in the requirements profile already now.
