Step Two: Request to post position

When ready to begin the search process, managers should start a Job Requisition in Workday.  A job requisition is a request to post a position.  

Note - if a position has not been created yet, return to Step One: Identify Need for guidance on creating a position in Workday; job requisitions may not be used to create a new position.

Job requisitions include information like the position title and other details needed by Employee Services to post the position.  When completing job requisitions in Workday, managers should:

• Review and update the job description.

• Contact their HR Generalist when updating a job description for multiple positions with the same title to ensure changes are made to all positions.

• Indicate if they want the position posted on Lynn's internal and/or external job pages. 

Referring to the posting guidelines below, managers should communicate with their HR Generalist as needed about posting preferences.  Managers receive a notification through Workday once positions are posted.  If changes are needed once a position is posted, managers should alert their HR Generalist so the posting can be updated or withdrawn and reposted.  

Managers who would like to advertise positions outside Workday and Lynn's website (e.g., on industry specific job boards) should inform their HR generalist.  Departments are responsible for the cost of all additional advertising.
