Steps: Set Up Job Requisitions for Recruiting

Set up job requisitions for Recruiting so you can post jobs that candidates can apply to. Recruiters can also create job applications on behalf of candidates. You can view and compare candidates for each job requisition.
You can use candidate questionnaires at any stage of the recruiting process, and assign them to:
  • Candidates.
  • Any security group involved in the hiring process, such as interviewers or hiring managers.
  1. Edit Domain Security Policies.
    Configure the
