Talent Acquisition Manager Delegations

Talent Acquisition Manager uses delegation to authorize one person to serve as another person's representative when performing the following actions:

  • Approving a job opening.

  • Approving a Job offer.

There is no special approval processing when the process includes a proxy. The proxy simply replaces the delegator in the chain.

The delegation framework gives the proxy:

  • Access to the Pending Approvals page and workflow notifications for pending approvals.

    The Maintain Delegated Authority (HCDL_BATCH) Application Engine process grants the proxy the necessary access. Be sure to run this process regularly.

    See Processing Batch Delegation Requests.

    While a delegation is active, the proxy sees the delegated transactions in the Pending Approvals component; when the delegation period ends, any pending approval requests are removed from the proxy's queue and rerouted back to the delegator.

    The Maintain Delegated Authority process does not grant access to the Recruiter Alerts pagelet, but if the proxy has access to the pagelet, the delegated approval transactions are also included in the proxy's alerts during the delegation period.

  • Access to the Job Opening page through links on the Pending Approvals page and in workflow notifications.

    Proxies are given access to the job opening through the Pending Approvals page, but proxies who do not otherwise have direct access to the Job Opening component (for example, using the Search Job Opening page) do not get direct access by virtue of being a proxy.

  • Authority to approve, deny, or push back the transaction.

    When a proxy takes action, the proxy's name appears in the job opening details as the approver of the job opening or job offer.

  • Authority to modify job opening or job offer details, even if not part of the hiring team.
