Vacancy Status indicates the position of the Vacancy in the Vacancy lifecycle. A Recruit Vacancy can have one of a defined set of status values, each of which has a meaning to the Recruit system and helps to define what can happen to the Vacancy. Vacancy Status can be set manually or automatically by system or user defined workflows. Do not change the spelling of any supplied Vacancy Status option by editing picklist values - changed values cannot work in Recruit. If your org does not include all values you can add missing values. Ensure spelling matches the values given in the table for Sage People to correctly interpret them.
Available Vacancy Status values are:
| Status | Definition |
|---|---|
|
Template |
A model Vacancy you can use as a base on which to build. Often quicker than building a new Vacancy from scratch. You can force all new vacancies to be based on templates, helping to ensure consistency across the talent acquisition process. |

In the process of creation, not yet ready to be submitted for approval. |
