Steps: Automatically Decline a Candidate's Remaining Job Applications

Steps: Automatically Decline a Candidate's Remaining Job Applications

You can configure Workday to automatically close the remaining job applications for a candidate when you move them to the
Ready for Hire
 stage.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Recruiting Dispositions
     task.
    1. Add the disposition you want to use for automatically declined job applications. Example: Candidate Hired for Another Job.
    2. Map the disposition to a Workday-delivered one.
      This mapping displays as the status for automatically declined job applications on the candidate profile.
    3. Select the
      Disposition Remaining Jobs
       check box.
    Security:
    Set Up: Recruiting
     domain in the Recruiting functional area.
  2. Edit the
    Job Application
     dynamic business process.
    Add the disposition you created in step 1 to the
    Possible Dispositions
     section of each stage where you want Workday to close a hired candidate's remaining job applications.
  3. Edit Business Processes.
    Add the
    Decline Remaining Jobs
     batch process as a step to the
    Ready for Hire
     business process. Workday recommends sending a notification to the recruiter or manager of the jobs for the declined job applications.
When a candidate moves to the
Ready for Hire
 stage and reaches this step, Workday:
  • Declines their remaining active job applications.
  • Displays Recruiting System in the
    Person
     column on the
    Event Process History
     report for the events initiated by this step.
