Creating the Standard Job Requisition

Your client wants to create a job requisition. The following steps show how to achieve this task:

1. To open the Job Requisition listing page, in your SAP SuccessFactors instance, from the Home menu, select Recruiting.

2. On the Job Requisitions page, click Create New.

   

To finalize your requisition creation, follow these steps:

1. If there is more than one job requisition, select the job requisition you want to create.

2. Choose the option you want to use to create your requisition:

   • Copy Existing Job Requisition: Use this option to reuse a similar requisition when you are hiring for a similar position.

   • Browse "Families & Roles": Use this option to pull in pre-set competencies based on your selection.

   • Create New Job Requisition From Blank Template: Use this option to create a blank template, without any pre-populated data.

In this section, you will learn how to enter job details to the job requisition.

1. On the Create New Job Requisition page, enter the title. Enter the users who will perform the roles that are part of the route map.

   • The roles that display here are the roles listed on the route map. This is regardless of the XML template.

   • Unless Teams or Groups were pre-set, you can enter any user in the system in the role fields.

   • Other roles, that are not part of the workflow, are added directly to the requisition.

   • Due Date represents the approval date, and is pre-populated based on form template settings.

2. Click Next.

3. Complete the requisition fields.

   All required fields are marked with a red asterisk. To continue to the next step, you must complete all required fields.

   

Depending on your permissions, you can add competencies or questions.

• Each applicant is asked questions specific to the requisition. You can also use these questions as automatic disqualifying or knockout questions.

• Competencies are used when interviewing candidates and for gathering feedback.

Before posting, job requisitions must be approved.

Keep in mind the following points before routing job requisitions for approval:

• Complete all requisition fields that have a red asterisk, and other relevant fields where the information is known.

• Until the route map is completed, the requisition is in the pre-approved status, and pre-approved permissions apply to all roles in the workflow.

  Hint

  It is best practice to use the advanced options within the route map to clearly label buttons and steps, for each role and user in the requisition.

When logged in as each person in the workflow, you can access the requisition from the To Do list or by navigating to Home → Recruiting and finding the requisition that requires action.

• Once the requisition is completed, the system status shows as approved.

• Permissions for the approved status apply and you can post the requisition.

1. To show only requisitions in the pre-approved status, click the requisition system status dropdown menu to limit the view.

2. Filter requisitions or choose display options as required. For example, you might want to work on requisitions that are due on a certain date.

3. Select the title of the requisition that you want to approve. This opens the requisition and allows you to edit fields. You can also enter additional details as required and according to the granted permissions.

   

4. To mass-approve requisitions, check the boxes next to the job requisition titles, and click the Approve button.

In the figure below, you can see many fields are still editable in the approved system status.
