Job Requisition Status Definitions

In the realm of job postings and recruitment, understanding the various statuses of a job requisition is crucial for both recruiters and candidates. These statuses help in organizing and managing the recruitment process effectively. Each status - Public, On Hold, Private, Closed, Pending, Folder, and Declined - serves a specific purpose in the lifecycle of a job requisition.

Requisition Status Definitions

Public - When a job is marked as 'Public', it is visible on the company's external website or careers page and is also distributed to various job boards. Candidates can view and apply to these postings.
On Hold - A job designated as 'On Hold' is not visible externally or on job boards. Candidates cannot view or apply to these postings.
Private - 'Private' jobs are not listed externally or on job boards, similar to 'On Hold' statuses. However, candidates who have the specific job link can access the posting and apply.

Closed - Jobs marked as 'Closed' are removed from the Active Jobs list on user dashboards and the Jobs Overview section. These jobs are not visible externally or on job boards, and candidates cannot view or apply to these postings.

Pending - A 'Pending' status indicates that the requisition is awaiting further action or approval.
Folder - This status is used to categorize and store prospects. It functions more like a repository for potential candidates rather than a job status.
Declined - A requisition marked as 'Declined' has been turned down, usually indicating that the proposal for the job opening has not been approved or is no longer being considered.

Understanding these various requisition statuses is integral to effectively navigating and managing the recruitment process. Each status plays a unique role in the journey of a job posting, from its creation to its closure, ensuring a structured and orderly recruitment workflow.
