Creating a Requisition
Requisitions are considered as an essential part and even the very beginning of the entire recruitment process for every organization. By creating a Requisition you or the Hiring manager will let the executive team know about a need of a new talent.
The Requisition section consists of 3 main sub-sections:
- Requisitions to Approve: here you will find all those requisitions that are awaiting for approval and of course, you should be involved in them to work with them;
- My Requisitions: here are located only those requisitions that are created by you;
- All Requisitions: here you will find the full list of requisitions that are created in your company.
Note: To have access to the Requisitions section and also make changes here you should have the respective permissions assigned to you from Company Settings → Roles and Permissions → User Management or User Roles.
