Concept: Link Evergreen Requisitions to Job Requisitions

You can link an Evergreen Requisition to a Job Requisition to move candidates between the two during the job application process.
Example: Your organization keeps an open Evergreen Requisition to source seasonal workers. This requisition is linked to a job requisition for the upcoming summer season. When you’re ready to hire, move successful candidates from the Evergreen Requisition to the summer job requisition. After filling the summer positions, you can close the summer job requisition and continue using the Evergreen Requisition for winter holiday workers.
You can use the
Link to Job Requisition
field on the
Create Evergreen Requisition
task to link an Evergreen Requisition to an existing Job Requisition. You can also link an evergreen requisition to a job requisition using these tasks:
  • Create Evergreen Requisition
  • Edit Evergreen Requisition
  • Create Job Requisition
  • Edit Job Requisition
The
Link to Job Requisition
prompt will return all requisitions that are valid to for linking, and which you have access to.

You can link an evergreen requisition to an Open or Frozen job requisition if:
  1. They share a common job profile across either the primary or additional job profiles.
  2. The evergreen requisition is open, and has no In-Progress close events.
You can only link a job requisition to 1 evergreen requisition.
