# Requisitions

> Manage internal hiring requests before they become job postings

## What are Requisitions?

Requisitions are internal hiring requests. When a department manager or team lead needs to hire, they submit a requisition — a structured request that includes the role details, priority, and expected start date. HR can then review and convert approved requisitions into actual job postings.

This creates a clear approval workflow between department managers and the recruiting team.

## Creating a Requisition

Navigate to **Requisitions** in the sidebar and click **New Requisition**.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="briefcase" title="Role Details">
    **Job Title** *(required)*: The position you need to fill.

    **Department** *(required)*: The team this role belongs to (Engineering, Marketing, Sales, etc.).

    **Employment Type** *(required)*: Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Freelance, Internship, or Temporary.

    **Workplace Type** *(required)*: On-site, Remote, or Hybrid.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="map-pin" title="Location">
    **Location**: City, country, or "Remote" — where the role is based.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="flag" title="Priority & Timeline">
    **Priority** *(required)*: Low, Medium, or High — helps recruiters triage open requisitions.

    **Target Start Date**: When you need the hire in place. Use the date picker to select a date.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="align-left" title="Description">
    **Job Description**: Provide context for the recruiter — responsibilities, required skills, why the role exists. This becomes the starting point for the actual job posting.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Requisition Workflow

```
Department Manager submits requisition
        ↓
HR / Recruiter reviews in Requisitions list
        ↓
Approved → Create job posting from requisition
        ↓
Job goes live and accepts applications
```

## Who can create Requisitions?

All workspace roles can view and create requisitions, including **Department Managers**. This makes requisitions the primary way department managers participate in hiring without needing full access to the recruiting pipeline.

<Info>
  Department managers see the Requisitions page in their navigation but do not have access to the full Jobs, Talents, or Analytics pages.

## Best Practices

<Tip>
  **Set realistic target dates.** A target start date that accounts for notice periods and sourcing time helps recruiters plan their workload.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Use the description field.** The more context you give in the requisition, the faster the recruiter can create an accurate job posting.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Use priority levels consistently.** Define what "High" means for your team (e.g., business-critical, backfill for departure) so recruiters can prioritize effectively.
