General Screen

Enter the name of the job requisition. This field doesn't have a character limit.

Select the checkbox and the job requisition will have an unlimited number of openings instead of a set number.

Job requisitions that are designated as evergreen are shown with the evergreen icon () and in the Evergreen column in Improved Recruiter Experience. See Create Evergreen Job Requisitions.

Note: When you select the Evergreen checkbox, Dayforce grays out the Number Of Openings field in the Job Assignment Details section of the Details tab, because it’s no longer required.

This checkbox is only shown if your organization uses Position Management.

Select this checkbox to define position work assignments. The fields in the wizard will adjust to show the Position Management fields. Leave the checkbox unselected to define job work assignments.

Select a date from the date picker. You can back date or forward date the request date, if needed. This will have no effect on the functionality of the requisition once it's added to the list.

Notes:

• The system doesn't allow you to define the Request Date setting with a date that falls after the Target Start Date setting.
• For requisitions that were created via a Job Requisition form, you cannot set the Request Date setting to a date that falls after the date that the Job Requisition form was approved.

Enter the date when you would like the new hire to start.

Note: For Position Management, the Managing Position and Position Name fields in the Primary Position Details section list positions that are available as of the target start date. Positions that don’t have a target start date are listed based on the request date.

Select the location where the employee will work.

The Location list might contain only one location, depending on what areas of your organization you are responsible for. If you don’t see the appropriate value, contact your administrator.

Select a job assignment. You can only select a job assignment that exists in the selected location. Conversely, you can only select a location that has the selected job assignment.

If you didn't select an option in the Similar Employee or Vacating Employee field, the form populates job and job assignment data based on your selection in the Job Assignment field.

If you change your Job Assignment selection, the job and job assignment data is updated accordingly. This data is inherited from the Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments for that job assignment.

Enter all or part of the manager's name or position or their employee number to filter the list, and then select the manager for the requisition. The Managing Position field displays only managers that have vacant positions reporting to them as of the date specified in the Request Date field.

Select the position that the job requisition is for. The list shows positions that report to the selected managing position and are vacant as of the date specified in the Request Date field.

You can't create a requisition for a position that is already associated with a requisition. For this reason, positions that are already associated with a requisition aren’t displayed.

Select the location where the employee will work. The list displays locations associated with the selected position.

Enter the number of openings that are available for this requisition. For pooled positions, this field is populated with the number of vacancies that are available for the position, and it’s read-only.

This field is displayed here only if your organization uses Position Management. Otherwise, it appears in the Job Assignment Details screen.

Role authorization access: Recruiting: Job Requisition - Number Of Openings.

Select a job requisition status.

The following are features of job requisition statuses:

• When you update a requisition's status from Open to Cancelled, Closed, Filled, or On Hold, Recruiting displays an option where you can choose to delete all postings associated with the requisition:
• Select No and Recruiting still updates the requisition's status, but without deleting its postings.
• Once a candidate is hired through the Recruiting module, and all of the openings in the Number of Openings field of the Job Assignment Details section (described below) are filled, the status of the job requisition moves from Open to Filled, and all postings for the requisition are automatically ended. See Candidate Hiring.

This field is non-editable. It displays the name of whoever is submitting the job requisition.

Select a justification for opening the job requisition. The options available in this list are configured by recruiting administrators.

Select the reason for opening the job requisition. The available options are New and Replacement.

Based on your selection, the form dynamically displays the Vacating Employee or Similar Employee field for selecting an employee’s work assignment to populate the form.

Before You Begin: This parameter is only displayed if you have selected an option from the Reason for Opening drop-down list.

Select a similar or vacating employee to base the job requisition on. Enter all or part of an employee's name or an employee number, and select them from the filtered list. The list returns all employees in the organization, including those with terminated employment status.

When you select an employee, Dayforce populates fields in the form with the job and job assignment data configured for that employee's job assignment.

Note: This data is inherited from Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments for that job assignment, not from the similar / vacating employee's work assignment. Fields that haven’t been defined for the job assignment are left cleared.

If an employee was already selected, a confirmation message is displayed, and you can click OK to overwrite the details from the previous employee.

If you don’t select an employee, the form still populates the data when you select an option in the Location and Job Assignment fields.

Enter all or part of the hiring manager's name or their employee number and select them in the filtered list. This will be the hiring manager assigned to the job requisition. It can be you or another user.

See Assigned Hiring Manager.

Enter all or part of a recruiter's name and select them in the filtered list.

See Assigned Recruiter.

Note: Users are only displayed in the Assigned Recruiter field if an administrator has designated them as a recruiter.

Select the checkbox to request an e-signature from candidates when they click Accept for a job offer.

Note: This checkbox is displayed by default, however it's only enabled if your user role is assigned access to the Include E-Signature in Offer Letter sub-feature (under Recruiting > Job Requisitions) in the Features tab of System Admin > Roles. The DocuSign e-signature functionality must also be set up for your organization. See Configure E-Signature for Offer Letters.

Select the names of the additional users that you want to assign access to for the requisition. When someone is assigned as an additional user, the associated job requisition is displayed for them when they go to Recruiting > Job Requisitions. This allows them to view the details and monitor the status of the requisition.

See Assign User Groups and Additional Users in the Add New Requisition Wizard.

Note: This field is only displayed if your user role is assigned the Recruiting: Additional Job Requisition Users and User Groups access authorization in the Authorizations tab of System Admin > Roles.

Select the names of user groups that you want to assign access to for the requisition. Members of assigned user groups get the same access as described under Additional Users above.

Note: This field is only displayed if your user role is assigned the Recruiting: Additional Recruiting Users and User Groups access authorization in the Authorizations tab of System Admin > Roles.

In the Candidate Status Mapping field, select the mapping that will be used when assigning candidate statuses for the job requisition. When a mapping is assigned, hiring managers and other authorized users are required to follow the configured status order and cannot move candidates more than one status forward at a time.

If a mapping was set as the default, it's populated in this field automatically, but you can change or clear the selection. Dayforce displays an information icon next to the field which you can click to open a dialog box with the mapping details.

Note: This field is only editable if your user role is assigned the Assign Candidate Status Mapping feature under Recruiting > Job Requisitions in System Admin > Roles.

In the Assessment drop-down list, select the assessment that you want candidates to complete as part of their application. When you select an assessment, Dayforce displays an additional Delivery Method drop-down list in the form, which you can use to specify how you want the assessment to be sent. Depending on configuration, these fields might be populated by default.

Note: These fields are only displayed when integration with a third-party assessment service provider is configured for your organization. The ability to view and update these fields is controlled by the Recruiting: Additional Job Requisition Assessment access authorization in the Authorizations tab of System Admin > Roles. See Add Assessments in the Add New Requisition Wizard.

Important: This functionality is only supported for OpenAPI and Sterling Direct integrations configured in System Admin > External Integrations.

In the Background Screening Package and Background Screening Billing Code drop-down lists, select the values that will be populated by default when users create background screening orders for candidates.

If a background screening mapping was configured, these fields will be populated automatically when you select the job assignment in the Job Assignment field. If you are authorized to edit the Background Screening Package and Background Screening Billing Code fields, you can update or remove these mapped values.

Note: Access to these fields is controlled by the Recruiting > Job Requisitions > Assign Background Screening Mapping role feature in the Features tab of System Admin > Roles.
