Add (Create) a Requisition

Click [Add] in the toolbar to open the Add Requisition menu. Enter the information for each required (and optional) Requisition field, and click [Save].

Below are some tips for entering information about the Requisition:

  • The fields will be configured, based on your organization's terminology and workflow.
  • Required Fields — As marked with an asterisk, typical required fields include: Type of Position. [Business unit] Code, Job Code, Location, and Posting Start Date. Other fields may also be required.
  • Posting Start Date — Select the date that Applications will be accepted for the Requisition.
  • Recruiter — Specify by numeric or text entry.
  • Cap Job Seekers — If configured, enter a number for: Maximum Number of Job Seekers. Then, from the provided drop-down, choose a Requisition status to be triggered by the cap.
  • Job Seeker Filter Settings —
    • Show All
    • Must Complete One Form (A Job Seeker will not be shown in balanceTRAK until at least one formform, (PRESCREENERPRESCREENER or APPLICATION),APPLICATION, is completed.)
    • Must Complete Application (A Job Seeker will not be shown until the APPLICATION is completed.)
  • (Users with appropriate permissions) Add Job Code — 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.

After clicking [Save], the Review Requisition detail displays, providing menus for building the Requisition you created. See: Develop Requisition Content. The Requisition is also added to the Requisitions list.

About a Requisition and its Default Form(s)

Each Requisition ultimately becomes a job posting on your organization's Internet Career page. Therefore, a form must be associated with the Requisition. balanceTRAK relies on Administrative Settings for Form Templates to accomplish this linkage. When a new Requisition is added, a default APPLICATION (or other form previously tied to the Requisition’s Job Code) will automatically be associated with it.

Example: For an organization with a universal employment APPLICATION, balanceTRAK loads this form automatically whenever the user adds a Requisition.

Supplementary forms can be added, see: Add Forms and Post a Job Opening below.

About Requisition Numbering

Typically, balanceTRAK is configured to automatically number Requisitions, but the system may allow manual numbering via a required field in the Add Requisition menu.

Cross-reference: If you are an Administrator, see: .

Add Multiple Requisitions

Click [Save and Add] when saving the first Requisition. This will save the current Requisition and reopen the Add Requisition menu for the entry of the next Requisition's fields. When finished, select [Save], or continue with [Save and Add]. If multiple Requisitions were added, balanceTRAK opens the Review Requisition detail for most recently saved Requisition. Access the Requisitions list to develop content for any of the other new Requisitions.
