HRM Assignment 3

Submitted By: Group 6 (Section A)

On detailed analysis of the job descriptions for the profile of “Senior Consultant” at Wipro,
Informatica and Citrix, we observed following commonalities and differences.

Commonalities
1. Technical skills:
All three job descriptions required almost similar technical skills. These skills are:
 Knowledge of MS office tools including Visio / PPT / Word / Excel
 Basic knowledge of Operating Systems, Database, Database Query, Data
Modeling, Process Modeling
 Able to capture experiences in form of documents or case studies
 Programming skills

2. Non-Technical Skills:
Other than the technical skills required, there are various other skills demanded like
communications skills, leadership skills etc. The common non-technical skills in these
job descriptions are:
 Good communication skills
 Strong interpersonal skills
 Good analytical skills
 Customer management skills
 Ready to travel frequently
 Leadership skills

We could observe all these commonalities in these job descriptions because of the nature of
the job.
 Since all three companies are into IT industry, some common technical skills have to
be there for similar profile in any company
 The role is of a “Senior Consultant” which needs a lot of interaction with customers,
thus skills like good communication, customer management, ability to travel
frequently etc. are found common to all the three jobs profiles
 As the profiles are for senior level, every company expects their employee at these
level to have the ability to lead others and make others learn from her experiences
 The role of consultant also demand some common level of technical and analytical
aptitude, which is again common to all these job descriptions

Differences
Many differences can be spotted in all three job descriptions, even though they all are related
similar profiles in same industry but in different companies. These differences are enlisted
below:
 Technical Skills: Although we saw lot of commonalities in the technical skills in all
three profiles but still every company has some differences as well. Based on the
technology used in each company the required technical skills vary

 Degree and Work Experience: Also we can observe that although all three companies
are from same industry and these job descriptions are for similar profile but there is a
slight difference in the educational degrees and work experience demanded for
each profile. For instance, all three require bachelor’s degree in engineering (IT) but
Wipro gives preference to MBA degree holders and Informatica also allows MCA
candidates to apply.

Talking about work experience, where Wipro demands 2+ years of prior work
experience and Citrix requires 1-3 years of experience, Informatica on the other hand
has a requirement of 7 to 15 years of prior work experience for same profile. This
implies although job title may be same for all three there may be a difference in seniority
levels of each profile in respective companies.

 Non-Technical skills: The biggest difference in non-technical skills can be seen from
the job description of Citrix and other two companies. Citrix mentions following
leadership competencies requirement in its job description:

Critical Leadership Blueprint Competencies

 Communication - Proactively, clearly, and openly shares information and ideas

with others; asks for, listens to, and uses feedback and input
 Accountability - Holds teammates accountable for their commitments and helps
coordinate team activities to ensure task completion
 Teamwork - Thinks and acts in terms of We, rather than Us vs. Them
 Excellence Orientation - Is solution-focused, eager to develop skills and
actively seeks learning opportunities
 Innovation - Shows resourcefulness by taking what is and making it better
 Leading Change - Helps peers and others understand the benefits of change and
adapt to it
 Talent Building - Accurately assesses and supports the strengths and
developmental needs of self and others
 Strategic Thinking - Prioritizes and focuses on what is most important for their
individual deliverables, with consideration for the impact on team deliverables
 Authenticity - Walks the talk ensuring that their actions are consistent with their
words
 Inspiring Others - Brings out the best in others with supportive and positive
demeanour
  Business Savvy - Stays up to date on the latest tools, methods, and measures
both within Citrix and in the industry
 Relaying Vision - Talks openly with others, inside and outside of the company,
about the good things happening at Citrix

As is clear from these requirements Citrix has a special focus on personal skill
competencies of the applicant. Most of these competencies are related to leadership
abilities of the applicant, which according to Citrix are must for this profile. Although
Wipro and Informatica also have leadership abilities as one of their criteria but they are
not as explicit as Citrix is.

Similarly Wipro also mentions behavioural core competencies it desires from the
applicants for this profile. Other two job descriptions do not give focus to behavioural
aspects as Wipro does. This implies the significance Wipro lays on the behaviour of is
employees.

 Another difference observed is again from the Citrix job description. In the job description
by Citrix they explicitly mention the functional competencies. These functional
competencies may have some commonalities with other two job descriptions but giving a
specific mention to them signifies how much importance Citrix gives to these competencies
while selecting a candidate
 Another significant difference can be seen in the JD of Informatica, as they have some
different demand related to personal skills of a candidate. They want the candidate to
possess sensitivity, responsiveness, and the will to grow. These trait requirements are
missing from other two JDs, perhaps it is the work culture of Informatica that is being
enforced here through these requirements
 Another important difference observed is again in Citrix’s JD. They lay a specific focus
on the requirement to think as “Us” or “We” and not as “I” or “You”. This again shows
the significance of team skills in candidates for Citrix.
