Philippines recruiting requisition approval packets: show what is ready

Prepare a requisition packet from approved role information, budget authority, and hiring steps while leaders retain approval and selection decisions.

Start here

Five rules for a safe first handoff

  • Use one approved role brief as the source.
  • Show budget authority and open questions.
  • Separate preparation from approval.
  • Keep hiring criteria consistent with the approved role.
  • Freeze the packet version before publishing the requisition.

Start from the approved need

A packet should answer why the role exists, what work it covers, who owns it, and what approval remains. Use the manager’s approved brief rather than assembling a role from old requisitions.

If the title, reporting line, or scope conflicts across sources, flag the conflict before a requisition is opened.

Make financial approval visible

Record the budget owner and approval status without publishing internal compensation details in public copy. A coordinator can track that an approval is missing, but should not invent a range or assume an earlier role’s approval applies.

Questions about compensation, classification, or worker status go to the authorized owner.

Protect the selection process

The packet can list approved stages, interviewers, scorecards, and decision owners. It should not add criteria that were not approved or advise interviewers how to judge a candidate.

Recruiting owners decide how to handle a change in stage, panel, or candidate accommodation.

Version before release

Freeze the role brief, approval record, and requisition copy as a matched set. Track who approved the final version and when it may be published.

If a leader changes the role after approval, return the packet to the relevant owner. Do not silently update a live requisition from a chat message.

Copy-ready scripts

Make the stop points easy to say

Approval request"The requisition packet is ready for review. Open items: [list]. Publication remains pending approval from [owner]."
Conflict note"The role brief and [source] disagree on [field]. I have paused release and routed the question to [owner]."

Review rejected packets

A rejected or paused requisition is still useful evidence. Record the missing decision or conflicting source without treating it as a failed candidate or a staffing conclusion.

Use recurring gaps to improve the packet checklist, not to widen the coordinator’s approval authority.
