Managing Job Postings

This chapter provides an overview of job postings management and discusses how to:

Create and edit a job posting.
Build job posting records

Understanding Job Posting Management

The Manage Job Postings program (P08470) is a power form that combines on separate tabs all of the process steps needed to create job postings. From this form you can add, edit, review, copy, and delete job postings.

Recruiters can search job postings using these filter fields:

Created by User
Business Unit
Posting Category

Alternatively, you can enter search criteria in the Query By Example (QBE) fields.

Manage Job Postings integrates with the Requisition Information program (P08102). For example:

From the Row menu of the Work with Requisitions form (W08102I), you can access Manage Job Postings.
From the Form menu on the Requisition Information form (W08102E), you can access Manage Job Postings.

When you delete a requisition, the system displays a message indicating that the associated job posting will be deleted as well. Conversely, when you delete a job posting, you can choose to delete or retain the associated requisition. You can have a requisition with no job posting, but you cannot have a job posting with no requisition.

Prerequisite

Before you can create job postings, you must complete the setup steps in the eRecruit Setup program (P08460).

Creating and Editing a Job Posting

This section provides an overview of job posting creation and discusses how to:

Set processing options.
Create a job posting.
Edit a job posting.
Run the job posting records program.

Understanding Job Posting

You create job postings in the Manage Job Postings program (P08470), which is a power form that combines on separate tabs all of the process steps for creating the posting.

When you create a job posting, you use the Job Description to provide specific information about the job. When you set up a job posting for an opening for which the applicants will not apply online, include in this text the details about how to apply for the job. For example, your company might want to host a job fair to interview applicants for many openings. In this section, you can include details about the job fair and any associated contact information.

You might need to publish a job posting in more than one language. You can customize the job posting text by language using the Use Multiple Languages option.

You can attach to the job posting text standard phrases that you defined in the eRecruit Setup program (P08460) by accessing the Add Standard Phrase link to the Standard Phrase Search and Select program (P08461S).

If you are using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Competency Management system, you can also attach selected competencies to the job posting.

After you create the job posting, the Copy function allows you to duplicate the posting easily.

After job postings are published by running the Build Job Posting Records for Language report (R08473), applicants can review the job postings that meet this criteria:

The posting has an active status.
The system date is within the date ranges for the posting.

From the Form and Row menus of the Manage Job Postings program, you can access the programs that you use to complete these business processes:

Enter position information.
Enter requisition information.
Enter requisition activity information.
Review job entry and evaluation information.
Enter applicant information.
Work with job competency information.
