Publish a requisition

What this achieves

Publishing takes a requisition out of draft and opens it to applications. It also produces the apply link you share with candidates.

Required role: Administrator.

Before you start

Check the posting settings first. Show salary on posting and Internal only decide what an applicant sees, and both are easier to settle before anyone has applied than after.

Steps

Go to Recruiting → Requisitions and open the draft.
Check the description, the requirements, and the benefits. These are the posting.
Select Publish.
On the Apply link panel that appears, select Copy.
Share that link wherever you are advertising the role.

Example: HC Corp publishes its Senior Software Engineer requisition and shares the apply link in an engineering community post, so applications from that channel arrive against the right role.

What a candidate sees

The posting shows the role’s own content, laid out in three parts.

Option	Description
About the role	The description you wrote on the requisition.
Requirements	The requirements you listed.
What we offer	The benefits you listed.

Below that is the application form. Write the description knowing it is the whole advert — there is nowhere else for a candidate to read about the role.

Published roles also appear on your organization’s careers page, where a visitor can search open roles and filter them by employment type. A posting marked Internal only is not shown there.

What the application asks for

The form is the same for every posting:

Option	Description
First name, last name, email	Required.
Phone	Optional.
LinkedIn URL	Optional.
Cover letter	Optional.

There is no file upload on the form, so a CV does not arrive with an application. If your process needs one, ask for it separately and decide where it will be kept.

On submitting, the candidate is thanked and told their application has been received. Where the requisition requires an assessment, they are also told a short skills assessment will follow by email.

When the link stops working

A candidate opening the link for a role that is no longer accepting applications is told the position is closed. An invalid link produces the same kind of message rather than an error page.

That means an old link in circulation is handled for you. It does not mean you can reopen a closed role by resharing the link.

What happens next

Applications arrive against this requisition and appear on its Applications tab and on the pipeline board. Where an assessment is required, each applicant is sent one, and the result appears against their application once they complete it.
