What is the second step in the staffing process?

• A. Position Description
• B. Determine Position Sensitivity
• C. Fill Position
• D. Employee Training and Awareness

Answer: (B)

In staffing, you begin by documenting the job in a position description, which lays out duties, responsibilities, and qualifications. The next move is to determine the position’s sensitivity to security risk. This assessment tells you how tightly the role must be controlled—what level of background checks, clearances, access permissions, and monitoring are required. That information shapes the rest of the staffing process, including how you screen candidates and what controls you put in place before someone is brought on board. After establishing sensitivity, you proceed to fill the position and then provide training and awareness as part of onboarding. The reason this step is the best answer is that knowing how sensitive a role is directly determines the appropriate vetting and access controls needed, which must be decided before filling the role.
