Job Requisition Required Details
When you begin a new requisition, the following screen will appear. You will notice there are two main sections to creating a job requisition: Information and Job Profile.
Filling in the Job Requisition form
The way in which the Job Requisition is filled out is very important. Salesforce is the system of record. The required fields affect the ways that Salesforce processes the information. These records are also exported to external job boards, and your inputs will define the way in which they appear.
Consistency and accuracy are imperative.
When building your Requisitions in Salesforce ensure you are using the correct City, State and Installation Name. Check Spelling too!
The sync between Salesforce and the .com relies on City, State, and Installation Name to place pins on the .com jobs map.
Spell out the installation name i.e. Joint Base San Antonio - Randolph, Wright- Patterson Air Force Base.
Any field with a red asterisk is a Required Field. This means that you will not be able to publish the job until they are all filled in.
Job Requisition Name
In the Job Requisition Name field, use the Position Title. This ensures that jobs are easy to view and search. The Job Requisition Name field is the public-facing field. This is what a candidate sees when applying for a job.
Only the Position Title should go in the field: no other information should be placed in this field.
