Life Cycle of Reqs and Req Statuses

Abstract

Product: BrassRing

Req Statuses

1. Pending: The Req has been created, and is being approved online, as defined by your company’s specific approval process. If your organization is not using the online approval routing features of BrassRing, the req skips Pending status and is automatically assigned to the Approved lifecycle status.

2. Approved: The Req has received every approval that is needed. When the final approval is granted, BrassRing automatically updates the status of the req from Pending to Approved and sends an email to the recruiter, who can open, and post, the req.

3. Open: The Req is available for recruiting. The approved req is moved manually to the open status by using a link within an email they receive when the final approval has been granted. When opened, BrassRing automatically generates a req folder to track candidates for the job. The req can be posted by the recruiter to your corporate website by using a Talent Gateway or to a job board on the internet. The time to fill clock also begins counting.

4. Closed: The Req has been filled.

5. On Hold: The Req is temporarily suspended. This pauses the counting of days that the req is considered open. The req is also unposted from any Talent Gateways it was previously posted to. From On hold, a req might be moved to the stages of Open, Closed, Canceled, or Deleted.

6. Cancelled: The Req is no longer to be recruited for. This might be due to reasons such as budget constraints, headcount changes, or job level changes. Your organization defines when a Req should be canceled. Canceling a req unposts the Req from any Talent Gateways it was posted to.

7. Deleted: The Req was entered erroneously. Deleted is used infrequently and typically, only Super Users can delete or undelete a Req. Deleted Reqs are not truly deleted but instead moved to a Deleted status. They remain stored within BrassRing.

8. Declined: The Req was turned down during the approval process. A declined Req might have an accompanying Addendum form that appears when the user declines the req and allows them to indicate the reasons why they have declined the req.
