Create a Job Requisition

Note:

• Prior to creating a requisition, managers must consult with their Dean or Director, Vice-President and HR Business Partner to discuss if any changes need to be made to the vacant position or job description. Details of these conversations must be added to the ‘Additional Information’ section when the requisition is created. In the case of overlapping incumbents in a position, managers must complete an ‘Overlapping Incumbent Form’ and attach it to the job requisition.  
• There must be an existing requisition template in HRMS in order to create a requisition. If no requisition template exists, please contact your Talent Acquisition Advisor.  
• If there is an existing requisition template but the job description or qualifications need to be updated before it’s posted, you must contact your Talent Acquisition Advisor to have the updates made on the requisition template before you create the requisition.
• Refer to the following FAQ for the information you must provide to your Talent Acquisition Advisor for them to create or update the requisition template: What information does HR require to create a requisition template?
• Refer to the following FAQ (in addition to the steps below) to ensure your requisition is complete correctly: What are some tips to ensure a requisition is completed accurately?
• An incomplete or incorrect requisition may cause a delay in the hiring process.

14. Click the icon for ‘Open the Selector’ to select the department.

Note: The department in this field is the organization from the FOAP. The department selected on a requisition should correspond with the organization from the FOAP, however the department (Org) selected on the requisition does not have an impact on where the salary is paid from. The department (Org) selected on the requisition will appear as the employee’s department on their employee record, but the employee’s salary will always be paid from the FOAP selected on the offer.

15. Click ‘Select’.

16.  Click ‘Next’.

17. On the requisition, many of the fields are prepopulated. However there are still fields you need to complete, such as:

– Justification

– Position Number (complement number)

– Incumbent Being Replaced (if applicable)

– Department

Note: If the Department name is in the Requisition Title field, remove it so only the requisition title appears.
