Raising new hiring requisitions

Introduction

Hiring the right people at the right time helps your organization grow, improve performance, and stay competitive. Whether you’re filling skill gaps, planning for succession, or expanding your team, Keka Hire allows you to raise hiring requisitions quickly and efficiently.

You can either create a brand-new requisition or save time by cloning an existing one.

Creating a New Hiring Requisition

Option 1: Create a new hiring requisition

1. Go to Org → Hiring → All Requisitions.

   • Mark as priority if needed by checking the box.

4. In the Requisition Type, 

   Choose New Hire and for each position, enter:

   • Location
   • Start hire date (when you intend to start hiring)
   • Target hire date (when you intend to close hiring)
   • To add more positions for the same job, click Add again and enter unique details for each row.
     
     
     
     You can add positions with staggered hiring plans (e.g., 2 in Hyderabad for January, 3 in Pune for February) without creating multiple jobs.
