What is the third step in the staffing process?

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

Answer: (C)

The staffing sequence begins with defining what the job entails and what it requires, which is captured in the Position Description. Next, you assess the position’s sensitivity to determine what level of access, clearance, and controls are needed. After those steps, the third step is to fill the position by recruiting, selecting, and onboarding the person who will perform the role. Only once someone is in the job can you tailor onboarding, provide job-specific training, and assign duties and access. Training and awareness typically happen after hire, not before. So filling the position is the correct third step.
