Once recruiting activity is approved to proceed, a detailed posting record is created with all of the information
necessary for the recruitment cycle. This posting record is maintained in the Maintain Job Posting form [(IRPO)].
\\
\\ 
A posting is simply a [requisition|REQUISITIONS] with more detail. Organizations that do not have a formal
[requisition|REQUISITIONS] process can start directly with the posting. Postings are uniquely identified within an
entity by a posting code that may be manually entered or automatically generated. A posting
may be for one or more people; the number is determined by the required FTE.
\\
\\
Postings may result from the creation of a new position, a vacancy in an existing position, or
internal movement and transfers. Postings are sometimes created to fill vacancies caused by
other postings; these postings can be linked to create a chain of postings.
\\
\\
Postings may be very general or detailed and may be for a department, location, unit, group,
job or position; however, they MUST be associated with a [job profile|JOB PROFILES].
\\
\\
Postings should state the required FTE, a suggested wage or salary range and the desired
assignment start date. Only [jobs|JOBS] and [positions|POSITIONS] that are active ‘as of’ the assignment start date
can be associated to the posting, further, any associated positions must also be approved and
not abolished to be valid.
\\
\\
The period of time that the posting is considered open is normally specified. Postings may be
designated for internal or external candidates, or be open to both. If open to both, you may
provided two open dates, one for internal and one for general applications, this would allow
internal candidates to apply first. Applications will not be accepted prior to the open dates or
after the posting close date, if provided.
\\
\\
At the time a posting is created, information is derived from the job profile. Each posting can
have its own tailored [job profile|JOB PROFILES].
\\
\\
A list of recruiters or media that will be used for promoting the posting may be provided; this
defaults from the job profile. When a new posting is created, the main recruiter responsible for
filling the posting is identified. The main recruiter is normally the person to be contacted for
more information about the posting.
\\
\\
As the recruiting cycle progresses, associated applicants and costs are shown for each
posting. The addition, modification or removal of postings can trigger activities.
