When you open the Candidates tab for a requisition in Recruiting > Job Requisitions, Dayforce displays the Offer button in the tab's toolstrip and in the list of actions displayed when you right-click a candidate's name.
Note: For job requisitions that use candidate status mapping, the Offer action might not be available until the candidate is in the Offered status. You can see mapping details in the Job Requisitions screen. In the Improved Recruiter Experience, click the link in the Candidate Status Mapping column. In the Classic Recruiter Experience, click the Candidate Status Mapping is Used indicator (
).
The Offer button isn’t enabled in the following cases:
- When you select more than one candidate, because the system only lets you work on one offer at a time.
- When you or another user has already submitted an offer letter for the candidate's job application, and the offer is still active.
- When the candidate's job application is declined. If needed, you can update them to any other status and then select the Offer button.
- When the job requisition has a status other than Opened (for example, Canceled or On Hold). If needed, you can change the status to Opened and then select the Offer button.
Other than the above restrictions, you can use the offer button for any candidate, regardless of their current status. For example, you can send an offer to a candidate with the New status, if needed. You can also send an offer letter to a candidate that already has an offer letter for a different job application. The offer letter is unique to the job application.
To create an offer:
- Go to Recruiting.
- In the Job Requisitions tab, open the job requisition that you want to create an offer for.
- In the Candidates tab, select a candidate.
- Click Offer in the toolstrip. Dayforce opens the Create/Edit Offer form.
