Competency & Culture JD Audit

Stress-test one real job posting against the future, then send the letter.

The workbook, verbatimTwo time horizonsDelta thresholds 40/60/80Letter to the hiring manager

Paul Cheek's Competency and Culture Audit workbook, run on one real posting in its exact language. Pick any job description your company currently has posted (each candidate shown with whether it recruits AI skills or Microsoft Office skills), then audit every responsibility and every requirement against two time horizons, today and five years from now. Build the skills gap analysis, write the AI-ready job description with its competencies and success horizons, and measure the delta: the share of the original JD that would need to change, read against the workbook's 40, 60, and 80 percent thresholds. It ends the way the workbook ends: a specific, direct letter to the hiring manager, a reflection on your hiring culture, a 30-day action plan, and a prompt to actually send the letter.

  • Pick the posting: candidates from your live postings, each flagged AI versus traditional, your choice final.
  • Steps 01 and 02: every responsibility and requirement audited against today and five years out, then the skills gap analysis.
  • Steps 03 and 04: the AI-ready job description, then the delta score with the workbook's threshold verdicts.
  • Steps 05 and 06: the letter to the hiring manager, the reflection questions, the 30-day action plan, and the prompt to send.
