Overview
A recruitment proposal (shown as Recruitment Plan in some screens) is a formal hiring plan submitted for approval before or alongside recruitment campaigns. Use it when your organisation runs in recruitment plan mode — configured under Recruitment → Setting → Other settings.
Proposal statuses:
- Proposal — newly created; awaiting approver action.
- Approved — approver accepted; can be linked to campaigns (when plan mode is off).
- Reject — approver declined the plan.
- Made — appears in filters only; no in-app action sets this status today.
