Add Job Application Templates

To create a job application template:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration and click the Template Configuration tab.
2. Click New.
3. In the Job Application Templates section, click the fields in the following columns to provide information: 
   • Template Name: Enter a name for the job application template. This is what recruiters see when they’re assigning a template to a job posting in Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
   • Description: (Optional) Enter a description of the template.
   • Active: By default, the checkbox in this field is selected and the template is active. Clear the checkbox to set the template as inactive.
   • When posting job requisitions in the Postings tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions, only templates that are marked as active are displayed in the Job Application Templates drop-down list.
4. In the Job Application Sections section, click New to add each new section to the template you selected in the Job Application Templates section.
5. Note: The order that you add sections to the list is the order that they're displayed in the job application section. However, when candidates apply using the Resume Upload option, Dayforce displays the sections containing parsed data before any other sections in the template.
6. The Personal Information and Submit Application sections are included in all templates by default and are automatically placed at the beginning and the end of the section list respectively.
7. The Job Application Sections section includes the following columns:  
   • Job Application Section Name: Select from the list of available options. Their descriptions appear in italics. The list includes system default sections and any custom questionnaires that users in your organization have created. You can manage this list in the Section Configuration tab.
   • Description: You can't change the descriptions here. However, you can change the descriptions for custom questionnaires in the Section Configuration tab. You can't change the descriptions of system default sections or system questionnaires.
   • Required: Use this field to select if the section must be completed by applicants. By default, the field is No, but you can change it to Yes. The Personal Information and Submit Application sections are required by the system and can't be switched from Yes.
5. Click Save.
