JD Library Enhancements
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Updated content when duplicating requisition: Duplicated requisitions retain recruiter-edited content while refreshing locked sections from the latest job description template.
Requisition variables: Insert fields from requisition intake form such as Job Title and Location into job description templates. Values automatically populate from requisition data and reflect subsequent changes.
Job description independent of Job Code: Recruiters can select a job description template without first selecting a Job Code. Subsequent Job Code changes no longer overwrite the selected job description when this setting is enabled.
Recruiter language selection: Recruiters can select which languages to publish for each requisition instead of completing every language available in the template. Deselected language content is preserved for future use.
Copy between internal and external descriptions: Copy selected sections between internal and external job descriptions without overwriting other sections.
WHY IT MATTERS
Maintain compliance: Updated locked sections, such as Equal Opportunity Statements, are automatically applied when positions are duplicated, while preserving recruiter customizations.
Reduce manual effort: Reuse content across internal and external descriptions and automatically populate position-specific information.
Improve flexibility: Recruiters can select only the required languages and choose job description templates independently of Job Codes.
FEATURE DETAILS
Who can access | Admins who manage job description templates and job description settings. Recruiters who create and edit positions on the intake form. |
Feature type | Default On (Non-deferrable) |
Requirements | Job description templates must be enabled for the account. |
GETTING STARTED
Admins: Updated content when duplicating requisitions, copy between postings, and requisition variables work as soon as the feature is on. To let recruiters choose languages, turn on Enable Recruiter Language Selection in Admin Console > Talent Tracking > Job description > Settings. To stop the job code from changing the job description, turn on Decouple Job Description From Job Code on the same page. For setup details, see Configuration Guide: Structured Job Description Library.
End users: On the position intake form, select the languages to publish under Job description. In the job description panel, select Copy from external or Copy from internal to reuse content between postings. If the panel warns that a variable would render empty, fill in the field or remove the variable, because an empty variable publishes as blank text. Read Job descriptions on the intake form for more information.
