When PeopleSoft Talent Acquisition Manager is configured to support online job offers, recruiters can post offers to Candidate Gateway. Applicants can then review offer documents and accept or reject the offer. Applicants can additionally upload and send any documents that need to be returned to your organization.

When the job offer is posted to Candidate Gateway, the system sends the applicant an email (notification template HRS_OFFER_NOTICE) alerting the applicant that the offer is posted. In Candidate Gateway, both the offer and the offer notification appear on the My Job Notifications page. Clicking either the offer or the offer notification displays the detailed offer information on the Job Offer page.

The system creates an applicant note and sends the recruiter an email notification when:

  • The applicant accepts or rejects the offer (notification template HRS_OFFER_RESPONSE)

  • The applicant uses the option to send uploaded documents to the recruiter (notification template HRS_OFFER_DOC_ATCH).

The recruiter notifications are sent to the email address that is associated with the recruiter’s user ID rather than the recruiter’s personal data record. Note that the workflow settings for the recruiter’s user ID must specify that the user is an email user.

Applicants use the Job Offer page (HRS_ONL_OFR_DTL_FL) to review job offers, accept or reject them, and upload documents to send to the recruiter.

Step 1 - Review Offer

This grid lists the documents, links, and notes that were attached to the offer on the Prepare Job Offer Page. Typically this grid includes an offer letter.

Field or Control

Definition

Action Required icon (fluid) Action Required

The Action Required icon appears when the Action Required check box was selected for an item on the Prepare Job Offer page. This icon draws highlights items that the applicant needs to review or return.

Type

Indicates whether the item is a Document, a URL, or a Note.

Typically, the recruiting system is not configured to support notes in offers. Instead, recruiters incorporate any notes into the offer letter.

Details

Displays the item name. Clicking this link opens the document, URL, or note. Documents and URLs open in new windows. Notes are displayed on the Job Offer Note page.

Step 2 - Accept/Reject Offer

The fields in this step are disabled after the applicant accepts or rejects the offer. This prevents applicants from changing their responses. To change a response, the applicant must contact the recruiter, who can update the response in Talent Acquisition Manager.

Field or Control

Definition

Comments

The applicant can enter comments before accepting or rejecting an offer. The comments are included in the contact note that the system adds to the applicant record when the applicant clicks the Accept or Reject button. In Talent Acquisition Manager, contact notes appear on the Manage Applicant Page: Notes Tab.

I acknowledge that I have reviewed and understand the job offer details for the position listed.

Before accepting an online job offer, the applicant must select this check box to acknowledge that the offer has been reviewed and understood. The Accept button is not enabled until the applicant selects this check box.

Accept

An applicant clicks this button to accept a job offer. This button is not available until the applicant selects the acknowledgement check box.

An applicant who clicks the Accept button is prompted to confirm the accept action. If the action is confirmed, the system does the following:

  • Updates the offer status to 020 Accept.

  • Sends an email notification (HRS_OFFER_RESPONSE) to the recruiter.

  • Creates an applicant contact note with the subject Online Acceptance of Job Offer. The note details include the date and time of acceptance and any comments the applicant entered before accepting the offer.

Reject

An applicant clicks this button to reject an offer.

An applicant who clicks the Reject button is prompted to confirm the reject action. If the action is confirmed, the system does the following:

  • Updates the offer status to 110 Offer Rejected.

  • Sends an email notification (HRS_OFFER_RESPONSE) to the recruiter.

  • Creates an applicant contact note with the subject Online Rejection of Job Offer. The note details include the date and time of the rejection and any comments the applicant entered before rejecting the offer.

Note: Depending on the status change effects that you have configured, updating the offer status can also trigger various other status changes, including changes to the applicant's disposition. If notifications are active for the particular status changes that occur, the status changes also trigger the relevant recruiter notifications. Notifications for changes to the Offer status use the OtherStsEffct template. Notifications for changes to an applicant's disposition use the ApplicantStsEffct template.

See Understanding Recruiting Statuses.

Step 3 - Return Documents

Applicants can optionally upload and send documents such as completed employment forms either before or after accepting an offer. For example, an applicant can print a confidentiality agreement, sign it, scan and upload it, then send it to the recruiter.

The Return Documents grid shows the documents that the applicant has uploaded and provides a mechanism for sending those documents to the job opening’s primary recruiter.

Field or Control

After a document has been sent to the recruiter, it can no longer be selected, and the applicant cannot remove it.
