Opportunity Overview

An opportunity is a job posting for your organization.

Opportunity Lifecycle

An opportunity moves through several stages throughout its life in Recruiting. The following image shows the lifecycle of an opportunity.

Infographic. Image displays steps in the opportunity lifecycle, including: Step 1: Create an Opportunity, Step 2: Approve the Opportunity (optional), Step 3: Post the Opportunity, Step 4: Apply to the Opportunity, Step 5: Review Applications, Step 6: Hire a Candidate, and Step 7: Close the Opportunity (optional).

A Recruiting user creates the Opportunity.
Approvers review the Opportunity, and can approve or reject it, providing comments with more information. If needed, the creator of the Opportunity can revise it and resubmit it for approval.
A Recruiting user posts the Opportunity to an internal job board, an external job board, or both.
Candidates apply for the Opportunity.
Recruiters and Hiring Managers can review the application information in real time: candidate details, documents, answers to application questions, references, and more.
Hiring a candidate marks the application as hired and sends the candidate information to UKG Pro, or to Onboarding if applicable.
A Recruiting user closes the Opportunity.
