Managing Requisitions

Modified on Sat, 20 Jul at 10:30 AM

The purpose of the Requisition is to establish a valid need for the new position, indicate that funding and space are available, and provide a source document for posting the position. You should include a job description, detailing all essential position functions, as well as required education and experience. 

Requisition Status

A requisition status will be updated throughout the hiring process. Triggers are a dynamic tool for transitioning the status of a requisition without the need for one of your team to manually update the status within the solution.This not only helps to ensure that specific tasks are completed, but also provides transparency to all members of the hiring team, and enables the system to track metrics that reflect transition times between stages.
