10 eRecruit Applications Setup
This chapter contains the following topics:
10.1 Understanding eRecruit Setup
The eRecruit Setup program (P08460) allows you to set preferences for many of the recruiter activities, such as display options for the Manage Job Postings program (P08470), display options for job postings, and information about how the applicants will apply for job postings.
The eRecruit Setup program includes one power form that you can use to perform all of the setup steps that you need to set up the eRecruit system. From this form, you can update all tables related to the setup for eRecruit. Each section of the form represents a separate table.
|
Important: Because each section of the power form represents a separate table, you must be sure to save the information that you add in each section before you proceed to the next section. For this reason, a Save button appears in each section. The system prompts you to save your work if you attempt to access another tab without first saving your work. |
10.2 Defining Posting Categories
This section provides an overview of posting categories and discusses how to enter the definitions.
10.2.1 Understanding Posting Category Definitions
You create posting categories to classify the types of job postings that your company uses. Typically, you group the job postings according to your organization's business practices. Commonly used posting categories might include: Executive, Administrative, Financial, and Technical. When you group your job postings within these categories, applicants can easily search for the postings that best match their qualifications.
Grouping postings by category also allows you to define settings for each posting category, as discussed in a later setup step.
You can delete a posting category if you have not attached a job posting to it. When you delete the posting category, you also delete all of the settings for that posting category.
