How to Edit or Delete a Requisition

Learn how to edit, withdraw, hold, or delete a requisition in Recruitera, and what you can change at each status.

You can change a requisition or take it out of the flow — what's available depends on its status and your permissions. Available to the requester and members with the right access.

Before you start

  • Where to find it: Requisitions → open a requisition

Edit a requisition

Requisitions can be edited while they're Draft, Rejected, or Approved. Open the requisition, update fields on the Details tab, and use Save in the header. If it's mid-approval, an approver may need to reject it first so it can be edited and resubmitted.

Other actions

From the requisition's actions, depending on status you can:

  • Withdraw — pull back a pending requisition.

  • Resubmit — send a rejected requisition back for approval.

  • Put on hold / Resume — pause and restart an approved requisition.

  • Close — close out a requisition you're done with.

  • Delete — remove a draft that was never submitted.

💡 Deleting is permanent. To keep the record but stop tracking it, close or withdraw it instead.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I edit this requisition?

Editing is limited to Draft, Rejected, and Approved requisitions. A pending one has to be rejected (returned) first, and a requisition already turned into a job is changed on the job itself.
