Setting Up Recruitment Sources

Enter a source name. This field is enterable only when you first add the source.

Select a source type: Company, Employee, Marketing, or Vendor. This field is enterable only when you first add the source.

The source type that you select here controls the pages that appear in this component. When you select a source type, the Company, Marketing, Employee, or Vendor page appears, depending on the source type that you select.

Enter an effective date. The only page in the system where you can select a source prior to the effective date is the Job Opening - Posting Information page. On this page, you can select a future-dated source as long as the effective date of that source is within the posting dates for that posting.

Select Active or Inactive. Inactive sources do not appear in system prompts.

This check box appears only if the Source Type is Marketing. Select this check box to make a marketing source available as a posting destination.

When you use the Posting Information Page to create a job posting, the drop-down list of posting destinations always includes all Company and Vendor recruiting sources, but Marketing sources appear only when they are explicitly configured for use as a posting destination.

Unlike Company and Vendor destinations, marketing destinations cannot receive electronic posting information. Therefore, posting jobs to marketing sources is informational only, for tracking where you’ve published postings. If your organizations uses this mechanism to track where you market your postings, select the Use as Job Posting Destination check box for the appropriate Marketing recruiting courses. Otherwise, leave the check box deselected so that users do not see unnecessary options in the drop-down list of posting destinations.

Enter a description. This field is used only for informational purposes.

Select one or more sites. When a recruiter or hiring manager creates a job opening and selects to post the job opening to this source, the system posts the job opening to all of the sites that you select here.

For example, if your organization has separate careers sites for separate business units, then you can create three Company recruitment sources, each associated with the appropriate site. If your organization additionally has a consolidated careers site, you can add that site to each of the business unit-specific recruitment sources so that jobs posted to a specific business unit’s site will always be posted to the consolidated site as well.

Select to have the system create a proxy for incoming applicants from this source. This proxy functionality applies only to Vendor source types.

When a staffing supplier submits a resume, it is common not to contact the applicant to whom the resume belongs. Instead, all communication with the applicant, up until the interview with the applicant, is done through the staffing supplier. The person at the staffing supplier organization who handles this duty is referred to as a proxy. The proxy takes on all responsibilities of the applicant and is both responsible and expected to act in the best interest of the applicant. On system pages that show applicant contact information, the contact information for the proxy is also included. When you send correspondence to an applicant who uses a proxy, the system sends the correspondence to the proxy, not the applicant.

Select a contact. You can select from any contact that has a contact type of general. When you select a contact, the system populates the Email Addresses field with the email address of the contact. Define contacts on the Contacts - Contacts Setup page.
