Create a Requisition (Hiring Managers)

Learn how to create a requisition in Recruitera — raise a draft, fill in the form, and send it through your approval flow.

Raise a requisition whenever you need to request a new hire. It's created as a draft, filled in against your company's requisition form, then sent through the approval flow before a job can open. Available to members who can create requisitions.

  • Where to find it: Requisitions in the main navigation

How to create a requisition

  1. On the Requisitions page, start a new requisition.

  2. In the New requisition dialog, choose the Job Title (required). The Department fills in from the job title (you can change it), optionally link a Manpower project, and set the number of openings.

  3. The requisition is created as a Draft and opens on its detail page.

The New requisition dialog

On the Details tab, complete the form your admin configured — for example location, work model, description, employment type, budget and salary, experience, start date, custom fields, and the hiring justification. When it's ready, click Request approval: the requisition moves from Draft to Pending, and each approver is notified in order.

💡 Nothing goes to approvers while it's a draft — take your time on the form before requesting approval.

Frequently asked questions

What happens after I request approval?

Approvers are notified in sequence and can approve or reject at their step. Track progress on the requisition (see Track Requisition Status). Once approved, its details carry into the job you create from it.

Why don't I see the Manpower project field?

It only appears if manpower planning is enabled for your company; otherwise it's hidden.
