Create a Requisition (Hiring Managers)

Hiring Managers can submit a requisition whenever they need to request a new hire. This request is sent through the approval flow defined by your company before a job can be opened.

To create a new requisition:

Go to the Requisitions Section

From your left-side menu, navigate to Requisitions.


Here, you’ll see all requisitions listed under their current status — Pending, Approved, or Rejected.

Click “+ Create Requisition” to start a new one.


2. Fill Out the Requisition Form

You will see the requisition form customized by your Admin.
This form may include:

Default Fields

  • Job Title

  • Department

  • Job Opening (number of vacancies)

Additional Fields (based on company setup)

  • Location

  • Workplace

  • Job Description

  • Employment Type

  • Hiring Budget

  • Salary Range

  • Experience level

  • Candidate’s anticipated start date
    …or any other fields your Admin enabled.

Custom Company Fields

If your company uses custom fields, you may also be required to fill

Add the Hiring Justification

This section is where you choose a reason behind the requisition and explain why the role is needed.


For example: “This role replaces a recently resigned employee” or “This position supports our new marketing campaign in Q1.”

Once everything is filled out, click “Request Approval” at the top right.


Your requisition will move from Draft to Pending Approval, and Recruitera will automatically notify each approver in the correct sequence.

Each approver can:

  • Review the request

  • Approve or reject it


Track Your Requisition Status

After submission, you can always check progress:

  • Draft — not yet submitted for approval.

  • Pending — waiting for action from approvers.

  • Approved — ready to be converted into a job post.

  • Rejected — sent back with comments for revision.

💡 This makes it easy to track where things stand without having to follow up manually.


That’s It!

You’ve successfully created your requisition.


Once approved, you can convert it directly into a job post — all your details (title, location, and description) will automatically carry over.

This keeps your hiring aligned, transparent, and connected from planning to posting.
