This topic looks at some common problems that may occur while managing vacancies and suggests some approaches.
| Problem Description | What To Do |
|---|---|
| When you create a vacancy, the Vacancy Name field on the Create Vacancy: Basic Details page displays an automatically generated number. | If your enterprise decides to follow the automatic vacancy code allocation method for vacancy names, then iRecruitment assigns a unique number for the vacancy. You cannot update the Vacancy Name field. |
| After you create and submit a vacancy for approval, you cannot find the vacancy. | You cannot view a vacancy that you submitted for approval until it is approved. |
| When you create a vacancy, you cannot provide the external site posting start date on the Format Job Posting page. | If your enterprise posts the vacancy details to employees before posting to external candidates, then you can enter only the internal posting start date; you cannot enter the external posting start date. When the vacancy is approved, the application automatically sets the external posting start date. |
| The iRecruitment session timed out when you were creating a vacancy. How do you retrieve the vacancy details? | Check the Save for Later table on your Home page. iRecruitment saves the vacancy as a draft if the browser closes or the session times out. |
| You are not able to update vacancy details. | Check the status of the vacancy. You can update a vacancy only if it is approved; you cannot update a vacancy in pending approval status. |
| You have posted a vacancy to the third-party recruiting site with whom your enterprise has an agreement. At a later date, you update the vacancy details. The vacancy updates do not appear on the recruiting site. | If you update a vacancy posted on a third-party recruiting site, you must post the vacancy again using the Post Advert button on the Vacancy Details page. |
