Staffing Front Office enables you to set up integrations to third-party resume parsing and job board integration suppliers.

Resume parsing refers to stripping a resume of its formatting, resulting in basic and consistent data on an applicant's work history, skill sets, education, and so on. Once the data is parsed, it can be loaded into the database and into the appropriate fields for processing and searching.

There are two types of data mapping, dynamic and static. Dynamic data mapping is used when the XREF tables can change (add/update/delete) from time to time. Static data mapping is used when the codes used by the system are not changed a lot from time to time but still have different values used by candidates, such as gender. Static data mapping is covered in other documentation.

See Understanding Application Integration Framework Web Services

This topic breaks the steps to setting up resume parsing into these sections:

  • Configure Integration Broker.

  • Configure Enterprise Components.

  • Configure Supplier Integration Setup.

  • Configure Installation Options.

Configure Integration Broker

  1. Set domain status to active using the Domain Status page (PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Service Operations Monitor, Administration, Domain Status).

  2. Define the local gateway using the Gateways page (PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Configuration, Gateways).

  3. Define gateway setup properties for advanced configuration using the PeopleSoft Node Configuration page (PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Configuration, Quick Configuration).

  4. Add the proxy using the Gateway Properties page (PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Configuration, Quick Configuration). These settings depend on your environment.

Configure Enterprise Components

Define 11 maps using the Define Value Maps page (Enterprise Components, Integration Definitions, Transformation Framework, Define Value Maps).

See the product documentation for Understanding the Application Integration Framework

Configure Supplier Integration Setup

  1. Assign the maps that are used by Staffing using the Mapping Setup Page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Product Related, Staffing, Integration Suppliers, Mapping Setup ) and the Mapping Setup Values pages (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Product Related, Staffing, Integration Suppliers, Mapping Values).

  2. Configure a Resume Parsing Supplier using the Supplier Setup Page (Setup Financials/Supply Chain, Product Related, Staffing, Integration Suppliers, Supplier Integration Setup).

Configure Installation Options

On the Installation Options - Staffing Installation Page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Install, Installation Options) define the PeopleSoft Domain Name field, Candidate Registration field, After Update Status field, and Resume Parsing Provider section.

Use the Supplier Setup page (FO_VENDOR_SETUP) to review the imported configuration.

Field or Control

Description

Submit Configuration File

This button appears when you add a new supplier. Every new supplier integration requires a zip file that includes these files:

  • PSConfig.xsd: This is the schema file for the configuration file, it should be included and unedited, as delivered by PeopleSoft. This file should be located in the root of the zip file.

  • PSConfig.xml: This is the xml configuration file, it must comply to PSConfig.xsd, be called PSConfig.xml and be located in the root of the zip file.

  • XSLT Files: Any transformation XSLT files listed on the configuration file should be included in this zip file.

Unique Sys Filename

This is the name of the zip file that was submitted when the supplier was created.

Submit File

Allows the administrator to load a new supplier file.

Allow Node Updates on Upload

If there is a change on the supplier's configuration file, users can select this check box to allow node changes when reloading the config file.

Partner Domain

Defaulted from the map definitions created in the Application Integration Framework.

Log Style

Select to Log All transactions, Never Log the transactions, or log On Error only.

Node

Click to access the Node Definition page.

Test

This is a quick test interface to check if the integration is operational. The users can upload a resume document to execute a simple extraction test.

Use the Mapping Setup page (FO_MAP_SETUP) to link an internal mapping element to a map name defined on the Application Integration Framework.

This is used to define the specific map name that is being used by staffing for the integration.
