Create Evergreen Requisition and Post Job

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.

      • 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.
