Stop Hunting! Create a Filtered View of Active Job Requisitions in Seconds

Time. As an HR professional, you're short on it. You're juggling recruitment, onboarding, performance reviews, and a million other things. Spending ages sifting through a messy list of job requisitions to find the active ones? That's time you'll never get back.

Imagine this: your 'Job Requisitions' tab looks like a chaotic spreadsheet. Closed positions mingle with open ones. Positions put on hold still clutter the view. It's a real pain.

The Goal: A clean, instantly accessible view showing only your active job requisitions. One click and BOOM – you're focused on what matters most: filling those open roles.

This is totally achievable. You can make this happen using filters and saved views. Think of it like this: You're creating a custom lens for your data, then saving that lens for future use.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Find the Filter Option: In most database or spreadsheet-like tools, you'll find a 'Filter' or 'Search' option, usually at the top of the column headers.
  2. Choose the Right Column: You probably have a column called 'Status' (or similar). This tracks the state of each job requisition.
  3. Define Your Filter Criteria: This is where the magic happens. Open the filter options for the 'Status' column. Deselect every status *except* 'Open'. If you have variations like 'Active', make sure those are included, too. Basically, choose anything that signifies the role is actively being recruited for.
  4. Test the Filter: Make sure only your active job requisitions are now visible. If closed or on-hold positions are still there, adjust your filter criteria.
  5. Save the View: Here's the real time-saver. Look for an option to 'Save View', 'Create Bookmark', or similar. Give your saved view a descriptive name like 'Active Job Requisitions' or 'Open Positions'.

Now, instead of manually filtering every time, you simply click your saved view and you're good to go. Think of it like setting presets on your car radio; get it set up once, and never have to look for it again.

Tools like GraceBlocks are built specifically to enable this kind of customization. You can design your 'Job Requisitions' tab exactly how you want it, define your own fields, and create multiple filtered views with ease. Plus, you can automate other HR processes, like sending automated SMS messages to candidates.

Stop wasting time. Start building efficiency into your HR workflows. Give a no-code solution like GraceBlocks a try and create a system that works for you.

Designing Your Scalable Onboarding System: From Offer Letter to Productive Employee

Okay, let’s talk onboarding. You know, that magical process that turns a nervous newbie into a productive, engaged member of your team? It's more than just handing them a laptop and hoping for the best. Think of it like planting a seed. You need good soil, water, and sunshine, right? Onboarding is the same: structure, support, and connection are key. It's important to focus on creating a repeatable process, so any new hires can get the same great experience as the previous ones, without the HR team needing to reinvent the wheel. And how do we achieve this? Let's dive in! So, what’s the problem we’re trying to solve? Too often, onboarding is a chaotic mess. Documents are scattered, tasks are missed, and the new hire feels lost and confused. Maybe they end up feeling like they made a bad decision by joining the company. That’s a huge problem, because a bad onboarding process impacts productivity, increases turnover, and damages your employer brand. And for small...

A New Chapter: Empowering SMB HR Teams with the HR Agility Toolkit

Hey everyone, Mike here. Some of you might know me from my BrassRing days, or perhaps from my time building and leading SmashFly. For over two decades, I've been knee-deep in the world of HR technology, always striving to build solutions that truly make a difference for HR professionals. These days, my focus is on GraceBlocks, a no-code platform I co-founded because I saw a real need for something different. But more on that in a bit. Today, I want to talk about a shift in focus for this blog, "The HR Agility Toolkit." We're going to be doubling down on what matters most: empowering small and medium-sized business (SMB) HR teams – specifically, those of you working in companies with up to 200 employees. Why the change? Because over the past few years, as we've been building and refining GraceBlocks, we've seen a gap. A gap that, frankly, I saw glimpses of during my time at BrassRing and SmashFly, too. While there are plenty of great HRIS, ATS, and CRM system...
