Confidential requisitions in Lever supports the ability for companies to handle hiring for sensitive roles, such as executives and planned backfills of existing employees. Robust and precise access controls ensure that visibility into these requisitions, job postings, and candidates tied to them, can be restricted to a small subset of involved stakeholders. Before proceeding, note that the process of setting up confidential requisitions holds some differences to setting up regular requisitions. To learn more, check out our help article on creating and managing requisitions.


Creating, editing, and viewing confidential requisitions

The following table provides a breakdown of what actions users with default roles can take with confidential requisitions. The abilities of users assigned to custom roles may vary depending the permissions with which their custom role has been provisioned (for more, see our role permissions help article).

Creating confidential requisitions

In your Lever environment, navigate to Jobs > Requisitions.

  • Click the blue + Create requisition button in the upper right hand corner.

  • Fill in the requisition details. 
  • Click the "Hiring for a confidential job posting?" link.

A requisition in and of itself cannot be made 'confidential' - it's the act of linking a requisition to a confidential posting that renders the requisition confidential. The 'Hiring for a confidential job posting?' link will inform you that this is required, and who can access once the confidential posting is linked.
  • Click the Ok, close button.

  • From the dropdown list of job postings, click the confidential posting to which you wish to link the requisition.
    • Note that confidential job postings are indicated with a green lock icon.

Making existing requisitions confidential

Existing requisition can be rendered confidential by linking to a confidential job posting. This can be done either from either the requisition or from the confidential job posting.

Linking from a confidential posting

From the confidential posting, click + Add requisition and select a requisition. Per the 1:1 relationship requirement, any requisition that is already linked to a job posting will not be available to select.
