Oracle Taleo Cloud for Midsize (Taleo Business Edition)
We are announcing the general availability of the 17B1 release of the Oracle Taleo Cloud for Midsize (TBE) on July 21th, 2017. This release includes a new key feature of the product – Hiring Manager activities on the Talent Center, as well as important enhancement to the management of Candidates, and phase 1 of integration with complementary NetSuite products.
This release introduces Hiring Manager features on the Talent Center. Employees who are also Taleo Business Edition users can have access to additional widgets on the Talent Center. These widgets allow hiring managers to approve requisitions, review candidate resumes, move candidates to next steps in the workflow, or disposition the candidates, all from a mobile-friendly, responsive portal. The employee record and the user record must be linked together in order to use these features.
This widget displays open requisitions for which the TBE user is either a requisition owner, a requisition hiring manager, or a requisition recruiter. The list view and the page layout are configured directly on the Talent Center using a drag and drop interface. This allows the administrator to easily see what the users will see and customize the information to provide the most helpful data to users that might be accessing the requisitions from either a desktop, tablet, or phone.
Users can see candidates in certain statuses, as configured by the administrator, that are associated with their requisitions. The users can review the resumes or attachments for the candidate, and move them to the next step in the workflow. The next steps are limited to those that move the candidate from one status to another, and do not require other forms to open. Users can also disposition or reject candidates from the Talent Center.
This widget displays any requisitions for which the hiring manager is listed as an approver or a proxy approver. This release also introduces a setting to force the requisition approvals to be sequential, so when this setting is checked, the approvals will not appear in the My Approvals widget until the user is the current approver or proxy for the current approver. This new setting applies to users logged into Recruit as well.
When scheduling an interview for candidates, there is a new field to set the candidate’s time zone. There are new merge fields that can be used for this new setting. When customers use these new merge fields, the email that is send to the candidate will list the interview in the time zone that is correct for the candidate, rather than the organization’s default time zone.
Sequential Requistion Approvals
As mentioned previously, there is a new setting that allows customers to determine if requisition approvals must happen in the sequence that is set in the requisition, or if approvers can approve in any order.
Requisition Posting Dates for Custom Reports
A new table called Requisition Postings has been added to two topics: Requisitions by Owner and Requisitions’ Summary. This new topic allows customers to run a report to see which requisitions are posted to which Career Centers and legacy CWS, as well as the posting dates. This report can inform users that a requisition is about to expire so that the date can be extended if needed.
NetSuite is an industry pioneer in Cloud ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) which includes Financials, Supply Chain, Order Management, etc. as well as a new HCM module – SuitePeople. Since Oracle recently acquired NetSuite, Oracle HCM for Midsize (TBE) has built an application, a SuiteApp, that joint NetSuite and TBE customers can install into their NetSuite environment to integrate the two applications. This first phase will cover the following integrations:
Newly hired candidates or employees in TBE can create new Employee records in NetSuite. Periodically, TBE is queried for any newly hired candidates or employees, pulling their information into NetSuite creating new NetSuite employees.
Job Requisitions that are created in NetSuite will result in an actionable Requisition in TBE at the prescribed status. Once in TBE, the Requisitions can go through the approval process, be posted out to Career Centers and other Job Boards, and proceed through the requisition fulfillment process.
As the TBE Requisitions move through the Approval and Fulfillment processes, the current status of the requisitions are periodically reflected back in NetSuite against the NetSuite Job Requisition.
