Complete Step 4: Statuses

Follow these steps to complete step 4.

To complete step 4:

  1. In the Requisition Status field, select a status.

    The options in this drop-down list are defined by the statuses for requisitions that were created in the Drop Down and Multi-Select Lists screen of the Global Settings section of the Administration screen. The default options for recruiting workflow requisition statuses include the following:

    • Open: This status indicates that the requisition is posted on your external job portal as well as the internal job portal. Requisitions with this status are available for cross-posting, employee referrals, and hiring orders.

    • On Hold: This status creates no automatic changes in the system, but it can be used for reporting purposes.

    • Pending: This status creates no automatic changes in the system, but it can be used for reporting purposes.

    • Confidential: This status is used for jobs that are created, but not posted. Typically these are used for requisitions a recruiter creates for “invitation only” inquiries.

    • Internal: This status indicates that the requisition is posted on your organization’s internal job portal only.

    • Closed: This status is used to indicate that a requisition was closed by a recruiting user before the position was filled. This is typically used if your organization does not want “evergreen” job postings and prefers to create new requisitions after a job has been posted for a specific number of days.

  2. In the Duration of Status (days) field, enter a value and click Add.

    The countdown does not begin until the requisition is approved (if applicable) and posted. If the requisition will only have one status in the recruiting workflow, then leave this field blank.

  3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each relevant status.

    You can have as many requisition status options as your organization requires. Each entry that you add displays in the Status(es) and Duration table.

  4. Click D:\Sylvia Files\WIP\TODO\HRsmart\HRsmart Icons\edit.png in the Actions column to edit a status in the table, or click D:\Sylvia Files\WIP\TODO\HRsmart\HRsmart Icons\Delete this course.gif to delete a status in the table.
  5. Select the Allow status change on requisition form check box, if you want to allow users to change the status on the requisition form itself.

    Any changes made there will override the workflow status settings.

  6. In the Send Notification of Status Change field, indicate in number of days when the application will send a notification before it changes the status of a requisition.
    Note:

    This is an optional field. However, if you type a value in for the number of days, then you must select the individuals who will receive the notification.

  7. In the Notify field, select who will be notified when the Status field changes.
    Note:

    The statuses that are visible on the external and internal job portals are configurable in the Requisitions section of the Administration > Global Settings > System Settings screen.

    • Click Next to proceed to the next step in the wizard.

    • Click Save to save the workflow in its current state.

    • Click Save as Draft to save the workflow in your Drafts section of the Workflows screen.
