Submit an Internal Candidate Hire Form (Hire an Existing Employee)

Before You Begin: To hire a candidate, the job requisition must have the Open status; otherwise the Hire option is grayed out. Further, depending on configuration, the Hire option might be grayed out for candidates who have completed a right to work verification survey and were found to have no work rights or limited work rights. See Configure the Restrict Hiring Based on Right to Work Status Client Property.

This section describes how to hire internal candidates who applied to a job from the Careers feature in Dayforce. You must submit an Internal Candidate Hire form to hire an internal candidate.

Note the following:

  • Fields marked with a red asterisk * in the form are mandatory.
  • A number of fields in the form are automatically populated using information from the candidate's profile and the job requisition details, but you can update them as needed.

To submit an Internal Candidate Hire form for a candidate:

  1. Go to the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
  2. Select the internal candidate that you want to hire.
  3. Click Hire. The Internal Candidate Hire form opens.
  4. Note: The job requisition must have the Open status, otherwise the Hire button is grayed-out. If your organization has configured more than one candidate hire form, clicking the Hire button opens a drop-down list where you can select the appropriate form. If enabled, you can use the Mass Hire Candidates option to hire multiple candidates all at once. See Hire Multiple Candidates with Mass Hire.
  5. Complete the fields in the form. See Internal Candidate Hire Form Fields..
  6. Click Submit. The form closes and is submitted for approval.
  7. Note: The candidate's status isn’t updated until the form is approved and processed.

Once the form is approved and processed, the following occurs:

  • The candidate's status is updated to Hired.
  • If there are no more openings for the job, the requisition's status changes to Filled, and all postings for the requisition are automatically ended.

At any time while filling out the Internal Candidate Hire form for a candidate, you can click Save Draft to save your progress. You can also click Print to print the form.
