An evergreen requisition is designed for continuous candidate sourcing when an organization has recurring demand for one or more common job profiles. It can remain available even when there is no immediate opening, allowing recruiters to build and maintain a reusable candidate pipeline.

Repeatedly reopening a standard requisition distorts requisition history and mixes separate hiring demands. A confidential requisition limits visibility for sensitive hiring but does not create a continuous pipeline. Creating a new staffing process through the request framework is unnecessary because Workday provides evergreen requisitions specifically for this use case.

Evergreen candidates can be reviewed and later moved to an appropriate linked standard job requisition when a specific vacancy becomes available. The standard requisition supplies the definitive position, worker type, organization, and hiring context. The evergreen requisition supports sourcing and preliminary candidate management rather than replacing the final hiring requisition.

Workday explicitly describes evergreen requisitions as a means to build pipelines and surface candidates for high-volume or recurring hiring. Workday Talent Acquisition
