Requisitions Management

Requisition Builder (Step 1):
To begin working within the requisition builder, you may create a new requisition or you may edit an existing one. To create a new one, select the job stream (area of employment), and a template. Now you can move on to Step 2.

Requisition Builder (Step 2):
Service Plans for the Req: The first thing you need to do on this screen is to chose a service plan. If you need more information on our service plans click here. Service plans dictate our involvement in your job filling process and the rates that correspond to our three levels of service.

Internal Tracking: In this section you can enter details about the req for your own internal use. The only thing that you must enter, as noted by the star, is the person at your company who is responsible for managing this req.

Requisition Details: Enter the start date for the position you are trying to fill. Then the expiry date for the posting, the default setting is 30 days. The job stream is the sector in which the job is placed. The descriptive position title is what a job seeker will see, so make it attention grabbing. Enter the number of similar candidates you are looking for. Is this req a contract or permanent? Please note that if it is a contract, you must enter the details of the contract farther down on the page. Select the travel and candidate location information for you req. Then choose where you would like the req to be posted. Selections not available have been grayed out. For more information on these options call your Brainhunter.com representative.

Job Location/Pay Details: Indicate the location of the position and what the maximum pay rate for it is. Don't worry about placing the pay information in the posting, the next question asks whether or not you want to share that with the job seeker.

Experience / Education Details: What kind of experience do you require for this position? Fill in the required amount of employment and academic experience you require.

Job Description: This is the job description for position you are trying to fill. Make this as descriptive as possible. A clear and detailed summary of the position, along with a list of the responsibilities that go along with it will help a job seeker in deciding whether or not this is a suitable position for them.

Company Description: A description of the company is optional, but it will also help a potential candidate in determining their suitability for the position.

Req Notes: Enter any additional information that you want made available to other that may have access to the req that you have posted. This information will only be seen by others at you company and never a job seeker.

Once you have completed all the information here, click on the submit button at the bottom of the screen to move to the next step.

Requisition Builder (Step 3):
Positions
Select the capacity in which you would like the candidate to have worked as, along with the minimum duration of that position.

Core Skills
Create a skill set for the potential candidate. These skills will be matched to the candidate's profile in order to generate matches for the position you have available. The minimum amount of time that you choose will determine the level of filtration of your search. As you enter more information, you will get fewer potential candidates.

Additional Keywords or Phrases in Resume
Use this section to locate specific words or phrases in a candidate's resume. This may be useful if you require a specific skill or use of a specific tool from a candidate.

Once you have completed this step, click on the "save and continue" button to see the results of a preliminary search for matches.

Requisition Builder (Step 4): Now that you have finished entering the required information for your position, we have done a preliminary search of our database and compiled a listing of how many matches have been found. These are sorted by how well they match your job criteria. If you have too many matches you should add more detail to your requisition, and vice-versa if you have too few matches. You can preview the req that you have created, or if you are happy with the results, click on "Approve and Post Req." Once a req has been posted you will be shown the list of your company's requisitions.

Where an exact match is not found, choose the best option. You will also need to enter credential details along with a generic description of the job type.
