This chapter provides an overview of Talent Acquisition Manager setup and discusses how to:
Activate recruiting applications.
Set up Talent Acquisition Manager installation settings.
When you implement PeopleSoft Talent Acquisition Manager, you must set up both recruiting-specific definitions and definitions that are shared with other PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM applications. This overview discusses the categories of information that you set up to support the recruiting process:
Human Resources foundation tables
Additional PeopleSoft Human Resources definitions.
PeopleSoft HCM common definitions.
Recruiting definitions.
Recruiting Solutions uses Human Resources (HR) tables to store basic information about your company that is used during recruiting processing. You must set up these tables before you establish any other tables in the system. The HR tables and data used by Recruiting Solutions include (but are not limited to) such elements as business units, companies, departments, job codes and job families, locations, currencies and so forth.

Recruiting Solutions relies on data that you set up for these other PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM applications:
PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources: Manage Profiles
Use Manage Profiles tables to set up job and applicant attributes (for example, competencies, degrees, or licenses) that matter to the recruiting process.
PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources: Administer Workforce
Use Administer Workforce tables for contract administration.
PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources: Administer Salary Packaging
Use Administer Salary Packaging tables to set up salary package modelling for applicants.
PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources: Manage Positions
Use Manage Positions tables for position management.
PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources: Manage Labor Administration
Use Manage Labor Administration tables for works council functionality.
Recruiting Solutions uses the following definition tables that are shared by all PeopleSoft HCM applications:
Approvals
Delegations
Text Catalog

Template Settings
Select a type of data that the system will use to associate specific recruitment templates with specific job openings. When you set up recruitment templates, you associate them with specific values for the selected segmenting type. For example, if the segmenting type is Department, then you can associate different recruitment templates with different departments in your organization. This enables you to vary the job opening data and layout by department. A field corresponding to the selected segmenting type always appears on the Primary Job Opening Information page, and users are required to enter a value in that field. This enables the system to apply the appropriate recruitment template. Available segmenting types are:
|
Select the default job opening template for your standard requisitions and your continuous job openings. The system uses these template for new job openings when there is not another template that is associated with the specific segmenting value you've entered. For example, if your job openings are segmented by department (because you entered Department in the Template Segmenting Type field on this page), then when you create a job opening, you will enter a specific department. If there is a recruitment template associated with that department, then the system uses the department-specific template to control the content and layout of information on the job opening pages. If there isn't a department specific recruitment template, then the system uses the appropriate default recruitment template, depending on whether the job opening is a standard requisition or a continuous job opening. |
|
Select the default interview evaluation template. The system uses this template when an applicant is being evaluated and is not linked to any job opening. |
This group box is used to activate the two approval processes, JobOpening and JobOffer, used by Talent Acquisition Manager. Approvals are created using the Approval Workflow Engine (AWE) framework.
See Setting Up and Working with Approvals.
Select this check box to activate approvals when creating job openings with a type of standard requisition. |
|
Select this check box to activate approvals when creating a job offer. |
|
Select this check box to activate approvals when creating job openings with a type of continuous job opening. |
|
Select this check box to activate approvals when creating job offers requiring works council approval. When you select this option, the Works Council Information section appears as an option in the Job Opening Template and Job Opening pages. If you select this option, you must also select the Job Offers check box. |
Integration Settings
Allow Profile Utilization |
Select Yes to activate profile integration, or select No to disable this integration. If profile integration is active, users who create job openings can select up to three profiles whose characteristics will be imported into the newly created job opening. If your Template Segmenting Type is Job Profile, then job openings are already configured to import characteristics of a profile that you select when you create the job. If you segment by job profile and you allow profile utilization, then users must select one job profile because of the segmenting rule, and can optionally select up to two more person and non-person profiles (for a total of three) because of the profile utilization setting. In this situation, segmenting by job profile serves for template selection, but it does not offer any additional profile capabilities, it only enforces the selection of at least one profile and limits the number of other profiles that can be selected during job opening creation. Generally, organizations that allow profile utilization will not also segment by profile. |
Person Profile Integration |
When profile utilization is not allowed at all, this system sets the value to No and makes the field read-only. However, if you allow profile utilization, use this field to determine which types of profiles can be selected when a user creates a job opening. Select Yes to enable users to select both person and non-person profiles, or select No to limit profile selection to non-person profiles. Even if users can select person profiles, they can select only person profiles for people to whom they normally have security access (such as direct reports). |
Calendar Integration |
Select Full to activate integration with Microsoft Outlook 2007. This integration enables recruiters to schedule interviews using Microsoft Outlook meeting requests. This is a two-way integration; the system updates interview data in Talent Acquisition Manager using information from Microsoft Outlook 2007. Select Partial to send interview schedules to participants as an iCalendar attachment. The participant can import the iCalendar meeting request and act on it. This is a one-way message, and TAM does not get any response back from the participant. Select None if you do not want to use full or partial calendar integration. |
Access the Recruiting Installation - Jobs page (Set Up HRMS, Install, Product and Country Specific, Recruiting Installation, Jobs).
Job Opening Settings
Select Yes if you want to allow multiple jobs or positions linked to one job opening, otherwise select No. When you select Yes, the Job Code Information group box appears on the Job Opening page. |
|
Randomize Screening Questions |
Select Yes if you want applicant questionnaires to present questions in random order, disregarding the questions' order numbers. When an applicant applies for multiple jobs openings, questions from all job openings are randomized together. Select No to order questions based on the order numbers specified in the qualifications section of the job opening details (for job-specific screening questions) or in the resume template (for questions when an application is not associated with any job openings). Regardless of the value you select, open-ended questions always appear after multiple-choice questions. |
Randomize Screening Answers |
Select Yes if you want applicant questionnaires to present answers to multiple choice questions (including yes/no questions) in random order. Select No to order answers based on their answer ID (which is the order in which they appear in the question definition.) |
Job Posting Settings
Max Job Posts Per Notification |
Enter the maximum number of job postings that can be listed in a Job Agent email notification. If the Job Agent search criteria finds more job postings than are allowed, the email lists as many as are allowed and then appends a message directing the recipient to visit the Careers page to view all search results. The maximum value you can enter is 99. |
Enter the number of days that the system looks back when selecting job postings to include in the Latest Job Postings section of the Candidate Gateway Careers page. If the field is empty, Candidate Gateway looks back 30 days when selecting job postings to display. The value that is appropriate for your organization depends on how frequently you add job postings. Note. Be sure to change the default value. The system comes with a very large default value designed to work with the PeopleSoft sample data. This lengthy look-back period is not appropriate for a live system. |
Job Opening Search Autosave and Result Control
(USA) Enforce Search Save |
Select Yes or No to indicate whether you want the system to force users to save the results of applicant searches when a specific job opening is part of the search criteria. The search results are saved for auditing and statutory reporting purposes. This functionality supports requirements of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFFCP) |
Enter the maximum number of rows that can appear in the search results when a user searches for job openings. Lower limits improve performance, while higher numbers show applicants more job openings. The recommended range is 500 – 10,000, but you can enter values from 1– 9,999,999. |
Access the Recruiting Installation - Applicants page (Set Up HRMS, Install, Product and Country Specific, Recruiting Installation, Applicants).
Verify Employee ID |
Select whether it is Required or Optional for a recruiter to search the HR database during the Prepare for Hire process to determine whether an applicant was a previous employee, contingent worker, or person of interest for the company. Such searches help prevent duplicate records for the applicant |
Verify Person of Interest |
Select Yes if you want the system to search the HR database for an existing record when you add an external applicant to the system as a person of interest using the Add Person of Interest action. Such searches help prevent duplicate records for the applicant. Select No to let external applicants be added as Persons of Interest without first searching for an existing record. |
Inactive State for Duplicates |
Select the status that the system will assign to duplicate applicant records that are inactivated during the duplicate merge process. For example, if you merge three records, one record continues to be active, and the other two are assigned the status that you designate in this field. |
Allow Online Job Offers |
Select Yes to enable online job offer functionality, including the ability to make offer letters and other attachments available in Candidate Gateway and the ability for applicants to accept or reject the offers in the same manner. To disallow online job offer functionality, select No. |
Regulatory Regions |
Click this link, which is only available if the Allow Online Job Offers field value is Yes, to access the Online Job Offers - Select Regulatory Regions page, where you specify which regulatory regions use online job offer functionality. |
Days Online Offer Valid |
If the Allow Online Job Offers field value is Yes, enter the number of days that an online job offer remains valid. If the applicant has not accepted the job offer within the specified number of days, the offer expires. |
Administrator Evaluation Edit |
Select Yes or No to indicate whether administrators are allowed to edit, delete, and send back interview evaluations. This setting applies only to interview evaluations, not to open-ended question evaluations. |
Use this group box to define implementation defaults for PeopleSoft Enterprise Candidate Gateway.
Select a default site ID for the system to use when it cannot determine a specific site. Choose from the sites that have been defined on the Site - Setup Site page. See Setting Up Sites. |
|
Enter the number of days that an applicant's job search agent is kept in the database. The maximum number of days that an applicant's job search agent can stay active is 999. This date is used by the Job Agent process to determine whether applicants' saved job agents are out of date and should be deleted. If you do not enter a value, the system keeps job agents in the database indefinitely. |
|
Enter the maximum number of job agents that an applicant can have. The default is five. |

Completing Interview Evaluations
Access the Online Job Offers - Select Regulatory Regions page (click the Regulatory Regions link on the Recruiting Installation - Applicants page).
Include |
Select this check box for any regulatory regions where you want to allow online job offers. The system compares the regulatory region for the job opening with the settings on this page to determine when to enable online job offers. |
Access the Recruiting Installation - Last Assigned IDs page (Set Up HRMS, Install, Product and Country Specific, Recruiting Installation, Last Assigned IDs).
Identification numbers are system-assigned values that you use to track specific records within the database. These values typically do not require manual assignment unless data conversion has occurred. The system uses these numbers to identify the point at which the system will begin assigning identification numbers for various recruitment records. The system automatically increases the number by one when it assigns a new number and updates this page with the new number.
Click to synchronize the counter with the actual values in the recruiting database. The system searches for the maximum value being used and resets the counter to that value. |
