NEXT STEP:

Begin Creating a New Requisition for a Job Opening

Choose Requisitions from the side navigation menu to add one or more Requisitions to the system. balanceTRAK will guide you through the process of developing the Requisition.

Initiate the Process to Add a New Requisition

Click [Add New], a button located above the Requisition list, to initiate the guided process to create a Requisition. Requisition-building steps will be displayed in the side navigation menu:

  • Setup
  • Details
  • Job Description
  • Approval Process
  • Forms
  • Sources
  • Keywords
  • Workflow Settings (Users with appropriated permissions)
  • Summary (Review and confirm settings)

Note: Particular Workflow settings will be configured, based on your organization's screening and hiring procedures.

Navigation Buttons
Once Requisition Setup is complete, navigation buttons located at the bottom-right of the screen allow you to go to scroll between [Previous Step] and [Next Step] steps. On the Setup screen, the [Back] button on the bottom-left will return you to the Requisition list, without saving the draft Requisition.

Save for Later / Resume Creating a Requisition

After completing Setup or a subsequent step, you can click the [Save for Later] button to retain the draft Requisition in its current state.

The draft Requisition(s) will appear at the top of the Requisition list. To access the draft and resume development at the point you left it, highlight the Requisition, and click the [Continue Creating Requisition [Job Title]] link, located at the top of the list.

Discard a Draft Requisition

While working in the draft Requisition, navigate to the left-bottom of the screen, adjacent to [Save for Later button]. Select the [Discard] button to delete the draft Requisition.

Choose Setup Information

The first navigation bar for building a Requisition leads to the Setup menu, which will record the Requisition's key identifiers and permit the selection of a Template (or recent Requisition) as a model for the new Requisition.

Determine Key Identifiers

Location Code
From the provided Location Code drop-down, users with access to multiple Location Codes can select one of the displayed codes to identify the business unit to be associated with the job opening. If the user has access to only one site, the Location Code linked to that site will display.

Job Code
The second drop-down serves to associate the job opening with an existing Job Code (and Job Title). Select one, or (users with permissions) create a new Job Code.

Quick Tip: If the drop-down contains a large number of Job Code entries, type at least the first two characters of a term in the Search field at the top of the drop-down.

Add Job Code (If necessary, users with appropriate permissions) — If the Job Code drop-down is not sufficient, click the Add New Job Code link. The new Job Code will be inserted into the system’s Job Code Reference table, one of the system's Reference Tables, so that it will be available when adding a future Requisition.

Select a Requisition Template (Optional)

In building the Requisition's content, choose whether to:

  • Select a Template (and pick the desired template from the provided drop-down)

    • OR

  • Enter new information for this Requisition (default)

Reuse the Latest Requisition (If one is available)

Based on Location Code and Job Code, the system may detect a recently saved Requisition that could serve as a model for the one being created. If so, an additional radio button (and accompanying drop-down) will display.

When Setup is complete, you can proceed to Job Description, which is the [Next Step].
