6 EXERCISE 1 TALENTSTREAM RECRUIT ORIENTATION GUIDE What does this mean? Take some time to reflect on what this information means to you, your team and your organization. Do you need to change a process, configure the system or plan training? Also, write down any questions you might have and ask your TSR Project Manager during your next call. How are you going to introduce TSR to your team? How will your team receive their credentials? Who will they contact for TSR questions? What else am I still wondering? 6

7 TALENTSTREAM RECRUIT ORIENTATION GUIDE EXERCISE Creating a Requisition 2 What Is This? When a hiring need has been identified within your organization, the first step is to create a requisition. Once created, the requisition is where users will create job postings for the open position, house all associated candidates, and document the recruiting efforts for the open position. THINGS TO CONSIDER WATCH & LEARN Creating a Requisition Hiring & Filling a Requisition Ordering Application Fields TALK THE TALK Requisition: A written request with all the required information for a job posting or opening. Before a job can be advertised, the requisition must be validated. Candidates & Postings Jump straight to the candidates and job postings associated with the requisition. Requisition Actions Move the requisition through your requisition workflow by selecting an action. Requisition Fields Fill out the information in these tabs to create the requisition. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. Supply & Demand Hiring Indicator Use this tool to determine how difficult filling this position will be. Click the graph for more information in our Supply & Demand portal. Workflow*: The recruiting process within your organization, which can have a maximum of 15 steps. It refers to both internal steps (between a recruiter and hiring manager), as well as external steps (between a recruiter and applicant). *Your TSR system is configured. Field Requirement: The information that must be filled out in order to create a requisition within TSR. These fields are configurable, and yours may differ from the standard form shown here. 7

8 UNDERSTANDING THE SYSTEM What is a REQUISITION WORKFLOW? The Concept: When a requisition is created within Talentstream Recruit, it must be moved through the disposition stages in the Requisition Workflow before recruiters can begin fthe recruiting process. You cannot post jobs or assign candidates to requisitions that are not in the Open stage. Used in a Sentence: The Hiring Manager has not yet validated my requisition, so it is stuck in the Pending Validation stage. Hopefully he responds soon, so the requisition can move along in the Requisition Workflow. What It Looks Like: Requisition actions include: Copy (duplicate the requisition), Forward (send the requisition, Validate (approve the requisition), Refuse (deny the requisition) and Place in Progress (activate the requisition). PERSON RECRUITER 1 ST APPROVER 2 ND APPROVER 3 RD APPROVER RECRUITER CREATE A REQUISITION AWAITING APPROVAL PENDING VALIDATION VALIDATED OPEN STATUS ACTION Recruiter CREATES requisiton Manager VALIDATES requisiton Hiring Manager VALIDATES requisiton HR PLACES IN PROGRESS Recruiter begins filling the requisition Why It Matters: Your Requisition Workflow should reflect your organization s process for approving new positions. Work with your Project Manager to configure these options to best fit your recruitment needs. 8
