This job aid outlines the process for a Recruiting Partner or Recruiting Coordinator to create an evergreen requisition that can be used to recruit for open positions and instructions for the Recruiting Partner to post the job.
Member version: TAMUCreate Evergreen Requisition and Post Job
Prerequisites
The Hiring Manager is responsible for assessing the resources needed to meet business targets and identifying requirements. After requirements for the position are defined, the creation of an evergreen requisition initiates the recruiting process.
Important Information
- Evergreen Requisitions, unlike Job Requisitions, do not require a position in order to be created and/or posted on the career site(s).
- If you plan on using an evergreen for open rank positions, meaning several different job profiles, ensure you include all job profiles during the creation of the evergreen.
- You cannot create a search committee on an evergreen requisition. Connect a search committee to the primary requisition.
Getting Started
- Navigate to the Supervisory Organization where you need to create an evergreen requisition.
- Select the Supervisory Organization’s Related Actions icon. Then select Job Change > Create Evergreen Requisition.
- On the Create Evergreen Requisition page, confirm the Supervisory Organization. In the Worker Type field, select Employee.Note: When a Manager performs this task, the Supervisory Organization field is auto-populated based on the Manager’s organization. If the Manager manages multiple supervisory organizations they must select the appropriate organization. Additionally, the Supervisory Organization field may be blank if you started by searching for the Create Evergreen Requisition task.
- Select OK. The Guided Editor for this task begins.
Recruiting Information

- In the Questionnaire section, attach the Primary Questionnaire to the internal and external career sites as applicable.Note: The Recruiting Partner can add a secondary questionnaire for external / internal career sites, if applicable. Refer to the Recruiting Instructions to determine whether one or both the internal and external sites need the Primary Questionnaire attached.
- Select Next.

Additional Resources
Recruiting using an evergreen will only include two stages of the typical job application process: Initial Review and Screen. Once these two stages are complete, candidates should be moved to the primary requisition as quickly as possible.
-
- The Manager’s screen task will show the candidate but the Manager will only be able to Decline candidates.
- Once the candidate has been moved to the primary requisition, he or she can be moved forward via the normal recruiting process.
