What can you assign to a job requisition but not to an evergreen requisition?

A specific Position can be assigned to a standard job requisition but not to an evergreen requisition. A standard requisition represents defined hiring demand and can therefore be associated with the position that the successful candidate will fill.

An evergreen requisition is designed for continuous sourcing and candidate-pipeline management. It may exist when no immediate vacancy is available, so tying it to a particular position would conflict with its purpose. Instead, evergreen requisitions use broader attributes such as job profile, location, and supervisory organization to identify the type of candidates being sourced and to support linkage with appropriate standard requisitions.

When an opening becomes available, the candidate moves from the evergreen pipeline to a linked standard job requisition. That requisition contains the definitive staffing information, including the position when the organization uses position management. This separation prevents a sourcing pipeline from consuming or representing a specific vacancy prematurely.
