Process

When a candidate is in the Offer stage of a recruitment, the Manager or Primary Recruiter can begin the offer process for the candidate. 

Initiate the Offer

The first phase of the Offer begins with initiating the offer. The Manager or Primary Recruiter will receive a task in their Workday Inbox called Initial Offer: [Candidate Name and Job Requisition Number and Job Title].

Once this task has completed, the Manager and Primary Recruiter will receive another task in their Workday Inbox to Propose Compensation Offer/Employment Agreement. Once this task has been submitted, the approvals begin!

Submit Offer for Approval

The Manager or Primary Recruiter will receive an Offer for Job Application task in their Workday Inbox. Once reviewed and confirmed, they can Approve the offer to start the approval process.

If needed, they can Send Back to the Initiator if changes are required, or Save for Later if they wish to leave the task in their Workday Inbox. The job offer process can also be terminated at this stage should the Manager or Primary Recruiter elect to Cancel the offer.

Approved offers will be routed through their designated approval process. Approvers are based on specific job families, with each approver being responsible for reviewing the offer information. They can Approve the request or Send Back to the Initiator for changes.
