Feature Summary

Sourcing

Job Facets for Requisition User-Defined Fields

Improves the user experience by allowing job seekers and recruitment marketers to refine the list of jobs using facets that are based on user-defined fields (UDFs) from the requisition.

Job facets in Sourcing are now aligned to requisition UDFs in Recruiting. This allows Administrators to activate up to five facets at a time for UDFs that can be used on the job search and on the following job promotion campaigns:

• Referrals On-Demand
• Send Jobs to Fans and Followers
• Search and Message Your Talent Community

Administrators can activate and deactive facets at their discretion. Facet names are multilingual and can be modified and translated using the dictionary.

Steps to Enable

To enable this feature you need to log a Service Request (SR).

Recruiting must be on Release 17.6 or higher to use this feature.

To enable this feature:

1. Create an Oracle Service Request and request the UDF Sync between Sourcing and Recruiting to be enabled. Once this request is complete, you can move on to the next step and create your facets.
2. Click Configuration.
3. Click Facets.
4. Click Create New Facet.
5. Enter your facet name and select a picklist table. The field, or list of fields, within that picklist table will be presented in the Field dropdown.
6. Select the Field.
7. Click Submit.

The newly created facet will be activated immediately. UDF facets are displayed in blue.

Tips And Considerations

If you use a UDF facet to filter the jobs you should consider displaying the value of that UDF in the Job Details page as well.

Onboarding

Candidate File Upload in Onboarding Center

Enables the onboarding specialist to upload files to a new hire's onboarding process from the Onboarding Center. This allows files to be added and replaced at any time during or after the onboarding process, whether that process is active, completed or canceled. Files may only be uploaded into the file categories which are configured on the Content Pages for the process through which the candidate is being onboarded.

History tracking is provided.

Steps to Enable

Make the feature accessible by assigning or updating privileges and/or job roles. Details are provided in the Role Information section below.

Tips And Considerations

• If you choose a file category which already has a file uploaded into it, uploading a new file will overwrite the existing one.
• If you upload a file into a category before the candidate arrives at their task to upload files, the candidate will see your file.

Role Information

The "View, add, print, and delete System Documents (PDFs), and view, add, and delete Candidate Files" permission must be enabled to use this feature. This is an existing permission that's been amended to include candidate files.

Set Requisition Prescreening Alerts

As a recruiter, you can set an ACE alert and a Request More Information (RMI) alert on requisitions.

ACE Alert

The ACE alert allows you to set a threshold to identify the ideal candidates for a job. ACE candidates are identified based on their responses to the competencies and questions in the requisition file.

ACE Alert Configuration

When you set the ACE alert, the following options are available:

Option	Description
Result: A submission meeting all the prescreening required criteria and obtaining a result of at least n %	Candidates who meet all the required criteria and the result value will be considered ACE candidates.
Asset: A submission meeting all the prescreening required criteria and obtaining n of 3 assets	Candidates who meet all the required criteria and the minimum number of assets will be considered ACE candidates.
Both Result and Assets must be met	This option is used to identify ACE candidates using the result and asset conditions.
Either Result or Assets must be met	This option is used to identify ACE candidates using the result or asset condition.

Candidates who apply to the requisition and meet the criteria are marked as ACE candidate on their respective submission. The ACE star icon is displayed.Once the ACE alert is set on a requisition, the ACE star icon appears on the Requisitions list, next to a requisition and also on the requisition summary card.

When you set the ACE alert, you can send an email to specific recipients to inform them that ACE candidates were found. The email contains a PDF of the candidate files. All recipients receive the same candidate files, regardless of their permissions to view candidate information.

RMI Alert

The RMI alert allows you to contact candidates who meet prescreening required criteria for a job and to request more information from them. Candidates receive an email inviting them to return to their submission and provide missing information.

Option	Description
Result: A submission meeting all the prescreening required criteria and obtaining a result of at least n %	Candidates who meet all the required criteria and the result value will be considered ACE candidates.
