Job Offer Life Cycle

The job offer life cycle includes these main activities:

• A recruiting user decides to create a job offer for a candidate who has applied for a job. They draft the various details of that offer, including the proposed start date, job assignment, position if any, salary, or other compensation. This job offer can be submitted for approval, then extended to the candidate.

• The candidate gets notified that they have a job offer. They can read the offer online and consider it. The candidate can accept the offer or decline it, either electronically with an e-signature, or by providing their response to a user who enters the information on their behalf.

• After accepting the job offer, the candidate is moved into any configured custom phases of the selection process, such as a background check or providing additional information like their national identifier.

• Finally, the candidate's job application is handed off to the HR specialist who finishes the work to transform the job offer into a pending worker or a worker with a new assignment, as appropriate. The HR team performs different tasks depending on whether the candidate is a brand new hire, a rehire coming back to the company, or a current worker moving to a new or additional job within the company.

• After all the processing is completed, the requisition has one fewer opening, and the worker is now considered as an internal candidate for purposes of any future recruiting.
