Learn about some "Add Requisition" Basics
How are Requisitions Numbered?
Typically, balanceTRAK is configured to automatically number Requisitions, but your Implementation may allow manual numbering, instead. If so, a required field for Requisition Number will display in the Add Requisition menu, which is described next.Cross-reference: If you are an Administrator, see: Client Settings / Requistions.
About Default Form(s) and the Requisition
For some organizations, a default PRESCREENER or APPLICATION Form (or one previously associated with the Requisition's Job Code/Title) will be included when a new Requisition is created. This will allow any interested Job Seekers to apply in response to the job posting. Note: In some Implementations, a PRESCREENER will be used to reduce the APPLICATION pool to only those meeting minimum qualifications).qualifications.
Cross-references:
- Supplementary forms can be added, see: Build the Requisition / Add a Form to a Requisition.
- If you are an Administrator, balanceTRAK relies on Administrative Settings for Form Templates to accomplish the Requisition-Form linkage.
Add (Create) a Requisition

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.
If you have no additional Requisitions to add, click [Save]. The system will display the Review Requisition detail, which is comprised of menus for building the Requisition you just created. See: Build the Requisition. The Requisition is also added to the Requisitions list.
