Prerequisites

The Hiring Manager is responsible for assessing the resources needed to meet business targets and identifying requirements. After requirements for the associated job requisition(s) are defined, the creation of an evergreen requisition initiates the recruiting process.

Important Information

  • Evergreen Requisitions, unlike Job Requisitions, are not associated with specific positions. Evergreen Requisitions are based on the job profile(s).
  • You cannot create a search committee on an evergreen requisition. Connect a search committee to the primary requisition. The primary requisition must be created and attached in order to create search committees.
  • An Evergreen Requisition is used to advertise and collect applicants for multiple positions. It is never to be used for the Recruiting process. Applicants must be moved to the relevant primary job requisition and processed through the recruiting process accordingly. The primary requisition must be filled last in the Evergreen.
  • In the situation where multiple positions may continuously be added to the Evergreen, you can create an “Administrative” position that will serve as the primary position. The position will never be hired or filled for Budgetary purposes. You must communicate this to your Department Head and Finance team so they are aware. In this situation, you can continue to add requisitions to the Evergreen as they come up. You will also have all your candidates for this position in the primary requisition which is important for Federal reporting. Once all positions are hired, you should contact your Recruiting Partner to close the “Administrative” position and then request to close the Evergreen.
