Provide Primary Position Details

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.

When you select a position, Dayforce checks whether there's a default job description available for that position at either the position level, job assignment level or the job level (depending on the source configuration). If a default description is available, it's populated in the Job Description field automatically. If there is no default description available, the Job Description field is left blank. You can add or update the job description using the rich text controls provided in this field.

You can also click Generate Job Description to create a job description using Dayforce AI Assistant. See Generate Job Descriptions Using Dayforce AI Assistant.

Note: The source of the default job description is configured using the Default Source for Job Requisition Descriptions client property in Recruiting Setup > Client Properties. See Configure the Default Source for Job Requisition Descriptions Client Property.
