What is Requisition?

A formal request that initiates the hiring process for a specific position, documenting the role's requirements, budget approval, and business justification.

Why it matters in hiring

Requisition comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
