Create a Requisition (Without Approval)

Requisitions are created for job openings within your company. The specific fields on a requisition depend on your company’s needs, but requisitions always have a requisition title, a position description, and requisition contacts at a minimum.

Regardless of the specific fields or organizational requirements needed for your requisitions, there are several steps that are common when creating a requisition without an approval process:

Create a New Requisition

Assign Questionnaires

Add Contacts

Add Videos

Create a New Requisition

When a job opening is identified in your organization, you will need to create a new job requisition to be posted to your company's job board, as well as internet posting sites to which your company maintains accounts. The job requisition includes information about the opening that is important to recruiters, hiring managers, interviewers, and applicants.

The instructions below are designed to step you through the most common steps in creating a new requisition in PeopleFluent Recruiting Portal. Your permissions and your organization's requirements for job requisitions determine the specific fields and panels that you will have access to during the creation process. For example, if your organization does not routinely collect EEO / AA data for all candidates, this panel will not be displayed during the requisition creation process. If you do not have permission to view a panel, such as the compensation panel, it will not be displayed during the creation process.

To create a new requisition

  1. Go to Primary Navigation Bar > Requisitions > Create Requisition. Alternatively highlight a requisition in the Workflow pane, right-click, and select New Requisition.

  2. The Create Requisition window opens displaying a blank requisition form.

  1. If you or your organization has created and saved templates for use when creating requisitions, select the desired template from the Saved Templates list.
  2. If you previously initiated the requisition creation process and saved your new requisition as a draft document, select the draft from the Load Draft list. Only draft documents that you have created are displayed in the drop down list.
  1. Complete the fields displayed in the window.
  1. Text fields allow the user to enter any combination of alpha-numeric characters.
  2. Drop-down fields allow the user to select from a predetermined list of options.
  3. Date fields allow the user to manually enter a date or to select a date from a calendar view.
  1. Fields followed by a red asterisk are required and must be completed before the requisition can be saved.
  2. Click Spell Check to confirm spelling for all text fields in the window. The spell check function does not check or identify grammatical errors such as incomplete sentences or incorrect noun / verb agreement. Its function is strictly limited to checking the spelling of words entered into free-text fields.

Assign Questionnaires

If your company uses requisition questionnaires, you can assign one or more questionnaires to the requisition. Questionnaires are useful in gathering additional information about candidates. Once they are assigned to a requisition, you can then attach the questionnaire to a job posting, to an interview, or to a workflow trigger associated with the requisition.

  1. Note: Questionnaires are created in PeopleFluent RMS Administration Portal. For more information about available questionnaires, contact your system administrator.

Add Contacts

Contacts include the recruiters, hiring managers, and onboarding managers who will be assigned to the requisition. Once the requisition is approved and the status is updated to Open, the recruiters and hiring managers listed in the contact area will receive automated emails alerting them of the new job opening and of any actions required of them during the workflow process.

  1. Note: If your company does not use the PeopleFluent Onboarding application, you will not be asked to select an onboarding manager.

Add Videos

To add a video to a requisition

Note: On the KZO client platform, you can configure the KZO window to play videos only or to play videos alongside modules that allow you to reference materials such as PDFs or presentations, or to navigate chapters of a video. If you do not configure the KZO window, it will automatically play the video only without the additional modules.

Complete the Requisition

Review the entered information for accuracy and submit the requisition for approval.

Check your Spelling

RMS allows you to check your spelling in all the free-text fields (that is, fields in which you have manually typed information) on your requisition. The spell checker does not check non-editable fields, items that were selected from lists, and numeric fields. In addition, the spell checker does not check for grammatical errors or for errors in sentence structure.

  1. Note: The spell checker does not check words that are in all capital letters (such as CASHIER). Users cannot add words to the spell checkers dictionary.

To check spelling

  1. Click Spell Check at the bottom of the Create Requisition window to check all free-text fields on the requisition. You may also highlight text in an individual field and click Spell Check to verify spelling for that particular field.

  2. The RMS spell check controls are similar to other spell check applications. You can ignore words that the spell checker has flagged, you can select a suggested spelling, or you can manually correct a misspelled word.

  3. Users cannot add words to the spell checking dictionary, however they can select the Ignore All option so that the spell check will no longer flag a specific word as misspelled.

  4. A dialog box is displayed when spell checking is complete.

Save a Draft Requisition

If you need to leave your work before you have completed all the requisition information, click Save as Draft. Before you can save a requisition as a draft, you must enter a position title. You can come back to the requisition later and complete the remaining fields. The draft requisition can be retrieved from the Load Draft field at the top of the Create Requisition window.  

  1. Warning: Draft requisitions that are not eventually saved as active requisitions are automatically deleted after 60 days. A change request is required if the client wishes to edit this setting.  

Submit the Requisition for Approval

When all fields are completed the requisition is ready for approval by the selected approvers.

To submit the requisition for approval

  1. Click Create at the bottom of the Create Requisition window.

  2. The window will close.
