View Job Requisition Approval Status

When a Job Requisition form is submitted through a workflow, it is added to the Job Requisitions tab of Recruiting with the Pending Approval status.

Once the requisition is approved, the status changes to Open and it is assigned a job requisition number. If the requisition is rejected, the status changes to Rejected.

Depending on the workflow approval status, Dayforce displays the status as follows:

• For the Improved Recruiter Experience, you see one of the following statuses in the Job Requisition Status column. If needed, you can click the View workflow link to open the Workflow State dialog box, in which you can view the approval history for the form.
  • Pending Approval
  • Approved
  • Rejected
• For the Classic Recruiter Experience, you see one of the following icons in the Indicators column. If needed, you can click the workflow status icon to open the Workflow State dialog box, in which you can view the approval history for the form.
  • Workflowed Job Requisition Pending Approval ()
  • Workflowed Job Requisition Approved ()
  • Workflowed Job Requisition Rejected ()

The following information is displayed in the Workflow State dialog box, as applicable:

• Workflow form name
• Submit date
• Workflow status
• Approval history information:
  • Approver name
  • Date when the workflow was routed to the approver
  • Status of the workflow in the approver queue

The date that the form received final workflow approval is also displayed in the Date Approved column for your reference. If the workflow form didn’t require approval, the creation date is displayed in this column instead.

Note: When you click a requisition that’s pending approval in the list, it opens with only the Job Description and Details tabs enabled (in read-only mode). Once the requisition form is approved, all functionality is enabled in the remaining tabs.

Notes on Job Requisition Statuses

• A job requisition that has a Pending Approval or Rejected status can't be edited. You can't access information on candidates, activity, or postings. You can view the job description and details but can't edit them.
• You can't delete a requisition that has the Pending Approval or Rejected status; however, you can filter it from the list. You can delete a requisition that is Open, but only if it doesn't have any candidates or postings.

• The number in the Days Open column is based on when the job requisition was approved, and the status was set to Open.
• The requisitions that have Pending Approval or Rejected statuses aren't displayed as options when assigning candidates to job requisitions.

• Requisitions created after Position Management was enabled cannot be edited if they are in a Rejected or Pending Approval status. The fields in the Details tab are read-only.
