Why this helps
Headcount requests can sit in documents while the recruiting team waits for a matching opening in Ashby.
- Reduce the gap between documented approval and recruiting setup.
- Keep requisition details tied to their source.
- Make missing job or location references visible.

Questions about this workflow
Does creating an opening also create a job?
No. This action creates an opening. A job is a separate Ashby record and must already exist or be created separately.
Can the workflow fill in unprovided location or job identifiers?
No. It should use details supplied in the request and report any required references that are missing.
