MAINTAIN POSTINGS#
The Maintain Postings screen allows you to view all the current open postings within the database.A posting is simply a requisition with more detail. Organizations that do not have a formal requisition process can start directly with the posting. Once a recruiting activity is approved to proceed, a detailed posting record is created with all of the information necessary for the recruitment cycle.
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 are uniquely identified within an entity by a posting code that may be manually entered or automatically generated.
Postings may be very general or detailed and may be created for a department, location, unit, group, job or position(s). They must, however, be associated with a job profile.
A posting may be for one or more people; the number is determined by the Required FTE.
Postings should state the required FTE, a suggested wage or salary range and the desired assignment start date. Only jobs and 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 provide two open dates, one for internal and one for general applications, which 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 or a posting may be applied to multiple job profiles.
Clients can add the following line to their Home Page to allow outside people to look at job postings:
http://server:port/selfService/public?FORM=WCRPO
Through this screen, you can either view a quick list of all the postings or search and retrieve detailed information for specific postings.
