Job Requisition: What Problem Will the New Hire Solve?
The path to hiring the right and suitable workforce is a continuous and time-consuming process. In this process, the first step is job requisition; one or more company departments announce that they need individual(s) who will help them solve some issues. The employment manager then acquires information from the corresponding departments regarding the required job title.

The reason a new hire is needed
Specifications of needs
A list of required qualifications
Required education

When the report of this stage is more transparent and detailed, the employment manager has access to enough information to take necessary courses of action. The output of this stage includes job description and job requirements for the corresponding position.
The employment managers prepare predetermined fillable forms based on the requirement needed to complete a task at hand. They ask this form to be filled when a department announces that there is a need for new hire to help carry out some tasks(when a job requisition is issued). The main part of this form includes following items:
What is the job title?
