Requisition Approval Process: What is a Requisition Approval in Silkroad Recruiting? During the creation of the requisition the Requisition Creator will input the individuals that will be responsible for reviewing the requisition and providing approval prior to the position being posted. These individuals are known as the requisition reviewers. The approval request is sent via email to the reviewers and includes the details of the requisition, the names and approval status of other approvers and an option to approve or reject the approval request Who will be Responsible for Approving a Requisition in Silkroad Recruiting? The following will have responsibility approving a requisition: Staff/Admin Reviewers: Reviewer o. 1 (HR Business Partner) Reviewer o. 2 (Department Head) Reviewer o. 3 (Division Head) Reviewer o. 4 (Budget) xubudget@xavier.edu Faculty Reviewers: Reviewer o. 1 (HR Business Partner) Reviewer o 2 (Department Head) Reviewer o. 3 (Dean) Reviewer o. 4 (Provost Office) xuprovost@xavier.edu Reviewer o. 5 (Budget) All reviewers will be required for requisition approval. Steps on How to Request an Approval: Once all of the mandatory fields have been completed, the requisition is ready to go through the requisition approval process. Submit the requisition for review by filling out the names and email addresses for each person that will be responsible for reviewing the requisition under the Review and Approval Details header in the requisition setup. Each reviewer will automatically be emailed in sequence that their attention is required to review the requisition. The Review in Sequence checkbox is automatically checked as the default. Review in Sequence means that Reviewer o. 2 will not be emailed until Reviewer o. 1 has approved the requisition and Reviewer o.3 will not be emailed until Reviewer o.2 has approved the requisition. It is very important that Reviewers are listed as described above. Page 4
If additional reviewers are required, the system does allow for up to 6 reviewers to be added to the requisition. Step 1: Enter the ames and Emails of each Reviewer Reviewer o. 1 HR Business Partner Reviewer o. 2 Department Head Reviewer o. 3 Division Head (ACADEMIC DEPARTMETS OL) Reviewer o. 4 Provost xuprovost@xavier.edu Reviewer o.4 Budget xubudget@xavier.edu Page 5
Important ote: Due the fact that Budget will be approving all requisitions a generic email box has been created so that all requisition approval requests can be sent to one location. The generic email box is xubudget@xavier.edu. A generic email has also been created for provost approvals. The generic email is xuprovost@xavier.edu. Step 2: Click Email Reviewer 1 to Start the Requisition Approval Process Once all of the names and emails have been entered, click the button Email Reviewer 1. The Silkroad Recruiting system will automatically send the first email requesting the approval to the Department Head. o further action is required for the Requisition Creator if all of the reviewers approve the requisition. What happens if a Requisition is REJECTED? If a requisition is rejected by a reviewer, the reviewer will be instructed to enter a detailed reason as to why (i.e. Budgeted Salary is only $45,000 not $50,000.) The details as to why the requisition was rejected will be sent in an email message back to the Requisition Creator. The comments that are sent from the reviewer back to the Requisition Creator will not be tracked within Silkroad Recruiting. Important ote: As a Requisition Creator it is very important to consistently check your email inbox for emails about the requisition being rejected to ensure the process keeps moving. Steps to Correcting a Rejected Requisition: Step 1: The Requisition Creator will login to Silkroad Recruiting to correct the field(s) that the reviewer has requested be fixed. To edit the requisition after a rejected approval, login to Silkroad Recruiting, and click Manage Requisitions from the left-side navigation pane. On the Manage Requisitions screen locate the rejected requisition by the red circle icon under the Approval Status. Click on the Actions drop-down box and click Edit. (See Below) Page 6
Edit the field(s) that the reviewer requested be changed. Step 2: Change the Approval Status and Resend the Approval Request to the Reviewer When a requisition is rejected by a reviewer the Approval Status for that particular reviewer automatically updates from Waiting for Response to Rejected with Reason. Important ote: In order for the requisition to be resent to the approver who rejected it, the Requisition Creator must change the Approval Status from Rejected with Reason to Waiting for Response. If this is not done, the requisition will not be resent. Once the Approval Status has been changed back to Waiting for Response, the Requisition Creator can resend the approval request by clicking on the Email Reviewer icon under the name and email of the reviewer that rejected the requisition. The process is the same for all reviewers that reject a requisition approval whether it is rejected by the Department Head, Division Head, or Budget. Important ote: When a requisition is rejected, the requisition approval process is suspended until the requisition has been approved by the reviewer that rejected the requisition. What happens once the Requisition has been approved by all Reviewers? Once a requisition has been approved by all reviewers an email is automatically sent to the Job Creator on the requisition which is Human Resources. Human Resources will post the position. Important ote: Human Resources will post the position within 3 business days of receiving the email that all reviewers have approved the requisition. Page 7
When the position has been posted the Requisition Creator will receive an email from Silkroad Recruiting Customer Support confirming that the position has been posted. Page 8
