Sometimes there will be a need to transfer applicants from an old requisition to a new requisition. This could be the case if you created and posted a requisition without a necessary prescreening question and only realize you need to add it after applicants have applied. In that case, you'll need to copy the requisition and move the candidates using the below steps:

Copying a Requisition:
If a requisition needs to be copied, go to the Manage Requisition page and find the requisition you need to copy. Click on the Actions drop-down menu and choose Copy.

The requisition will be copied and you will see the General tab of a the new, copied requisition. Be sure to change the Display Job Title, as it will include "copy."

This is the time to change anything about the application workflow, since it is not editable once an applicant applies. So, if you need to add a prescreen question, go through the normal steps to do so on the Application Workflow tab.

2. Moving Candidates:
Go to the Manage Candidates page and select the candidate(s) you need to move from an old requisition to a new requisition. Be sure you have the new requisition ID at the time you go through these steps.

Isolate the requisition where the candidates are. This is the old requisition where you need to move the applicants from.

Check the box next to the candidate name and select Add / Move to Requisition from the More menu.

You will have two options: Add to Requisition and Move to Requisition. The difference between the two is like the difference between the cut+paste and copy+paste features in Microsoft Word. Adding candidates to a requisition will keep them in their current status(es) on the old requisition and you will need to select a new status for them on the new requisition. Moving the candidates to a new requisition will prompt you to select a disposition status on the old requisition and a new status on the new requisition.

3. Usually the need is to move them from an old requisition to a new one. If that is the case, then make sure Move to Requisition is checked and enter the reqID of the requisition you need to move them to. You also need to choose a disposition reason for them on the old requisition – the one they are currently listed on. Check the box next to the new reqID you searched for and select the applicant status you want them to be in on the new requisition.

4. The disposition reason you need to select is Admin - Moved to copied req.

5. Click Save in the bottom right corner and you will see a notification that the candidate was moved successfully.

Note: Talent will only let you move 10 applicants over at a time. So, if you have more than 10 applicants to move then you'll need to repeat the above steps as many times as is needed.
