Exercise – Hire existing employees through recruitment
Occasionally, open positions are filled by employees of your company. This procedure outlines the steps that are involved in hiring an existing employee during the recruitment process. A recruitment project has been set up in this procedure, and an existing employee has applied for the project. The demo data company that is used to create this procedure is USMF.
Go to Human resources > Recruitment > Applications > Applications.
In the list, find the application for the employee that you want to hire. Example: 00002 John Emory.
Select Application status.
The application status indicates where an application is at in the recruitment process. Each of these steps is optional. Typically, an application would move the statuses in the following order: received, confirmed, and interviewed. A hiring decision is made after the interview process.
Select Change position.
Select the position for which you are hiring the employee.
In the New Assignment Start Date field, enter the date that the employee will begin working in the new position.
In the Assignment end date, enter the date that the employee will stop working in their current position.
The starting date for the new position and the ending date of the old position might overlap. This situation happens when a person is performing duties for both positions during a transition period.
Optionally, you can select a reason code. Example: Reorganization.
Select Change position.
You might also change compensation at this time. If you have not yet assigned compensation, you can change it by going to the worker form, selecting the Compensation tab, and then selecting Fixed Plan. After you select Change position, the status on the application will be updated to Employed.
