Job Requisition

A job requisition is an internal request to fill or create a position. It records the business need, role details, budget and approvals required before recruitment starts.

Example

A manager requests a new analyst role, explaining the workload, proposed level, reporting line and expected start date for approval.

What to keep in mind

A requisition is different from a job advertisement or description. It authorises a hiring need internally; candidate-facing material still needs accurate responsibilities, requirements and employment information.
