Create Job Requisition

This article will outline the process for creating a job requisition (i.e., a job posting) for Students, Faculty, or Staff. This process assumes that a job position already exists if one is needed. For new, full-time positions, you will need to create a position first using the Create Job Position task.

1. From the Workday home page, go to the Create Job Requisition task by searching for "Create Job Requisition."
2. In the Create Job Requisition task, the Supervisory Organization should automatically populate with your own name. Please update this to the correct manager of the position if it is not you.
3. For full-time faculty and staff positions, the standard Supervisory Organization should be used, not "_JM."

• 

4. ​​​​​​​For adjunct faculty, student employees, and part-time employees, you need to use the Job Management version of the Supervisory Organization indicated with "_JM."

• 

5. Select the position this requisition will be for, or the person you are replacing.
   • Note: Adjunct faculty, student employees, and part-time employees don't require positions.
6. Worker Type is Employee.
7. Click OK to go to the new requisition.

Recruiting Information Section

1. Click anywhere in the Recruiting Details panel to edit.
2. For Adjunct Faculty, Student Employees, and Part-time Employees; there will be a Number of Openings field where you should indicate how many people you want to hire.
   • Note: Once you have reached the # of hires in a requisition, the requisition closes and all remaining candidates are rejected. It is better to overestimate the # of hires than underestimate.

• 

3. Set the Reason. New positions and student employees will be "Budgeted Allocation."
4. Set the Recruiting Start Date and Target Hire Date to today's date.
   • Note: Do not use a future date.
5. Do not choose an end date unless this is a true temporary position. Adjuncts or Students are not temporary.
6. Click Next to go to the Job Section.
