Hiring the right people starts with a structured process for requesting, approving, and managing roles. This streamlines workforce planning and reduces repetitive manual tasks for both managers and admins.

Employment Hero’s Vacancies & Requisitions feature supports recruitment processes from the posting of vacancies to the approval of new employee onboarding. This article explains the multiple uses of the feature, such as how managers can submit and track requisitions with various progress statuses (Requested, Vacant, and Filled) and admins can oversee vacancies and approvals.
