Steps: Set Up Disposition for Purged Candidates

Steps: Set Up Disposition for Purged Candidates

You can configure a recruiting disposition that enables Workday to decline active job applications of candidates that you purge. This can help you reduce the number of tasks in My Tasks that are a result of purged candidates with active job applications.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Recruiting Dispositions
     task.
    Select the
    Default Disposition when Candidate is Purged
     check box for the
    Reason
     you want to use to automatically decline job applications.
    Security:
    Set Up: Recruiting
     domain in the Recruiting functional area.
  2. From the related actions menu of the
    Job Application
     business process, select
    Business Process
    Edit Dynamic Definition
    .
    Select the disposition reason you configured on each stage of the
    Job Application
     business process.
  3. From the related actions menu of the
    Job Application
     business process, select
    Business Process Type
    Maintain Business Process Definition Selection
    .
    Select the
    Use Latest Business Process Definition
     check box to ensure that Workday declines the remaining applications of candidates you purged before configuring the disposition.
Workday runs a background job every weekday at 8 AM PST that declines:
  • Existing job applications with previously purged candidates if the disposition is valid for the job application stage.
  • Job applications associated with active candidates that you purge.
You will receive tasks in My Tasks after configuring the disposition, but Workday should eventually clear these items. However, tasks in My Tasks from job applications in the Ready for Hire stage might remain even though you configured the disposition.
