Oracle Taleo Cloud for Midsize (Taleo Business Edition)
We are announcing the general availability of the 18C update of the Oracle Taleo Cloud for Midsize (TBE) on August 18, 2018. This update provides enhancements that focus on both Recruit and the Career Center.
Customers can set up a mass purge of data for Candidate records that have not been updated in a specified number of years. A list of candidates to purge is sent to security managers. Any security manager may then remove candidates from the list, if needed. The final list must be confirmed in order to purge the candidates. The actual deletion of candidates happens overnight, once confirmed. Security managers can also change the settings, which will restart the process, thereby creating a new purge list, or cancel it all together. Any updates to specific candidates that were on the original list will remove those candidates from the list so that they will not be purged.
When setting up the purge criteria, customers can exclude candidates in a certain requisition-specific candidate status, candidates that have applied to specified requisitions, or even specific candidates by name.
The actual deletion process is the same as if an administrator manually deleted a specific candidate. All data is removed, and there is no longer a record of that candidate. This feature allows customers to keep a more manageable list of candidates in their database, easily removing those candidates who have not been updated in any way for a number of years.
Requisition and Offer Approval Reminders
Requisition and offer approvals now have reminders, similar to other approvals in the system. There are two new system email templates, one for requisitions and one for offers. These templates are configurable. Customers can also control the frequency of the reminders. This feature keeps the approval process flowing so that approvers who may have deleted the initial email are reminded in a timely fashion that there is an approval waiting their response.
In addition, for the initial approval notification, as well as any reminder, customers can use a new merge field that includes approval comments. This new merge field provides each approver the ability to see the comments entered by the previous approvers. It can also be used if an email is sent to all parties once the requisition is finally approved or rejected, so that everyone involved can see all the comments.
The Career Center now has an option to enable a guest login. This feature allows job seekers to apply for jobs without entering a password, requiring only an email. Job seekers can only be a guest one time, so that if they apply for a second requisition, they must enter a password to continue.
Guests are presented with the same application, including voluntary fields, if enabled. Guests cannot save a draft of their application, however, since this feature requires a password to return.
Career Centers may now be flagged to optimize requisitions for inclusion in Google for Jobs search results. Requisitions will include the structured data specified by Google for inclusion in Google for Jobs.
This flag allows Career Center postings to be recognized by Google and included in job searches, thereby broadening the applicant pool.
The Career Center can now integrate with select Job Boards for candidate profile information. When a candidate initiates the application process from a supported job board, candidate information and resume are sent to the Career Center from the candidate’s Job Board account. This minimizes the candidate’s time to complete the application, thereby reducing the number of abandoned applications.
Employee Update of Login Name and Password
Employees can now update their Employee login and password directly from the Talent Center. Customers can add a new widget to the My Info page of the Talent Center if they wish to give their employees this access. Once an administrator places the widget on the page, an employee can update one or both of these fields, saving their manager time from having to update the information in the Employee record on behalf of the employee.
The employee can also more easily update the password on a regular basis, without having to click the Forgot Password link.
