They would secondly list the requirements as to what experience he/she must have and then thirdly focus on some personality traits the candidate needs to demonstrate. Some advertisements would also list the responsibilities the successful candidate will have to take responsibility for when the start in the role. These responsibilities would be coupled to certain outcomes expected. In other words, what would the successful candidate be required to deliver on a daily, monthly and yearly basis? Then in certain cases they would also list what the individual will be accountable for. Basically it means to agree what needs to be done by a certain time and at what standard.
