Creating a requisition in Pinpoint is essential for streamlining your hiring process. This guide will walk you through the steps to request a new requisition or adjust an existing one.

Requisition Feature is available on select plans. Please speak to your Customer Success Manager for more details.


How do I Create a Requisition?

  1. New Requisition
    From Pinpoint's left-hand menu, select the New Requisition button.

  2. Requisition Type
    Select whether you are requesting an adjustment to the headcount on an existing open Pinpoint job or creating a new requisition. You will then be asked which template requisition form you want to use; pick the one that best fits your requirements. If you have recently created a similar requisition you can select it to save time filling in fields.

  3. Complete the Form
    Fill out the details of the form as necessary, then press the Request Approval button.

  4. Notification Status
    You'll be notified via our Notifications system when your request is approved or rejected. If it's rejected, you'll be prompted to update the requisition with the correct details. If it's approved, it will show as approved in the dashboard, and then you can click the Create Job button.

You can check your requisitions and their status from the Requisition menu under the Jobs heading in Pinpoint's dashboard.


FAQs and Troubleshooting

How can I get notified when my Requisition is Approved?

You can check your notification settings using this guide. You'll want to check that you have the "Requisition Approved (Owner)" notification enabled.

Why is my requisition Archived?

Once a requisition is approved, and a job created, the requisition is automatically moved to archived. To find the job, go to the Manage Job page and search for the requisition ID. If your requisition was accidentally archived, you can follow this guide to unarchive it.

What should I do if my requisition is rejected?

If your requisition was rejected, you should click the Review button.

From here you can scroll down to the History section to see what comments were left on the requisition
