Part of requisition management involves keeping track of how many candidates you have associated with your requisitions at any given time. Monitoring the volume of candidates that have been hired or are close to being hired against a requisition can help you ensure that you are allocating headcount appropriately and keeping time-to-fill as low as possible. For a general overview of how requisitions work, refer to our help article on creating and managing requisitions.
Methods for associating candidates with requisitions
There are two ways in which a requisition can be associated with a candidate's opportunity:
1) Offers
Headcount on the requisition linked to the offer is reserved when the offer is sent to the candidate. If you have set up offer approvals in your Lever instance, headcount for the candidate will be reserved when their offer is submitted for approval. To learn more, refer to our help article on requesting offer approval. The offer remains connected with the requisition until the offer is deleted or declined, or the candidate is hired.
2) Job postings
When you mark a candidate's opportunity as 'Hired', it is counted against the hired headcount for the requisition linked to the opportunity's posting. To learn more, refer to our help article on linking job postings and requisitions.
Viewing candidates associated with requisitions
To view candidates associated with requisitions, navigate to the Jobs section of Lever and click the 'Requisitions' tab. The requisitions list contains two columns that show tallies of candidates hired and those with active offers for each requisition.
Active offers include offers that are sent out for approval, offers sent to the candidate, and signed offers. When a candidate's opportunity is marked as 'Hired', they will stop counting toward the active offers tally for their requisition and instead count toward the hired tally. Clicking the numbers in these columns will reveal opportunity information for the associated candidates.
To see more information for a particular requisition, click on the requisition title or click the See all text in the opportunity details pop-up (shown above). On the 'Offers and hires' tab you will find additional details about each candidate's offer and opportunity.
