Create Custom Job Requisition Forms

Important: Recruiting doesn't support the use of employee properties in custom Job Requisition forms.

Creating a custom Job Requisition form involves creating a copy of the default (that is, system) Job Requisition form and using this copy as a template to create the custom form. You do this in Workflow Administration > Form Builder. When you create a custom form, the text field in the XML tab of the form builder is enabled for editing. This field displays the same XML code as the default Job Requisition form:

Before you begin, note that when you create a copy of the default Job Requisition form, you must not change the following parameters in your custom form:

• In the Properties tab, the Mode parameter of the custom form must always display the New option.
• In the Properties tab, the Allow Multiple Submissions checkbox must remain selected.
• In the Advanced tab, the Xml Form Type parameter of the custom form must always display JobRequisitionForm. This ensures that users have access to their own name in the Hiring Manager field of the form, even if they weren't assigned Can See Self access in System Admin > User.

Important: Altering any of the above parameters in the custom form could cause the form to fail in Recruiting.

To create a custom Job Requisition form:

1. Go to Workflow Administration > Form Builder.
2. Select the Job Requisition form under System in the left-side panel.
3. Click Copy. The application adds a copy of the form under Custom in the left-side panel and automatically selects it for editing.
4. In the Properties tab, enter a name for the form and update the value in the Reference Code column so that it’s different from the system form that it was copied from.
5. In the XML tab, edit the XML code of the custom form as needed.
6. Click Save.
