Create Job Requisition - General

The Create Job Requisition - General step enables recruiters to configure the following information for the requisition:

  • The job title that is displayed to the applicant.
  • Metadata and custom field values.
  • The approval requirements and people who approve the job requisition.
  • The people who review and interview new applicants.

In addition, if enabled by the administrator in Requisition and Applicant Preferences, recruiters can create hierarchical relationships between job requisitions by adding child requisitions.
