Business Justification Quick Guide

This guide provides guidance on how to structure business justification details submitted on job requests in iCIMS. A job request with thorough business justification details will help prevent delays in job review/job approval process.

To ensure your new FTE request is approved by your respective leaders and the governance committee, a detailed business justification summary is required. There is a text area labeled business justification with unlimited text characters on job requests in iCIMS (Hiring Manager Dashboard view, access using Single Sign On, “SSO”).

Best Practice is to include the following:

• Background information, detailed
• Rationale for request
• Scope of role
• Staffing model and/or analysis used to determine staffing need
• Team dynamics (e.g., current number of staff in practice – 2 MA’s/1PCC/1ADM, etc.)
• Include perspective on what role will help achieve – what are we signing up for with this investment?
• If newly created (add info regarding growth/expansion details)
• Information related to the potential risks to the business as a result of staffing gaps
• Market challenges
• Compression challenges
