Explore Jobs Page
Applicants use the Explore Jobs page (HRS_CAREERS_FL) to search for jobs, view counts of items such as applications and notifications, and access other areas of Candidate Gateway. The Explore Jobs page is the first page applicants see when they access Fluid Candidate Gateway.
Navigation:
-
Internal applicants select click the Explore Jobs tile on the Employee Self Service homepage.
The Employee Self Service home page is delivered without the Explore Jobs tile, but the installation instructions for Fluid Candidate Gateway include steps for adding it to this homepage. For more information, see Internal Applicant Access to Candidate Gateway.
-
External applicants click a Candidate Gateway link that your organization places on a public website.
For more information about creating this link, see External Applicant Access to Candidate Gateway

Implementers and testers who want to access Fluid Candidate Gateway in external applicant mode can select Explore Jobs under the main Navigator menu.
This menu item exists only for implementation and testing purposes, as external applicants do not have access to the Navigator menu.
-
From other Fluid Candidate Gateway pages, applicants can click the Explore Jobs item in the Actions List.
Important:
From PUM Image 53, the existing Careers page has been renamed to Explore Jobs. If you are looking for the Careers page, please navigate to the Explore Jobs page instead.

Internal and External Versions of the Explore Jobs Page
The page appearance varies depending if the applicant is internal or external and, for external applicants, whether the applicant has signed in. Here is a summary of how the page changes depending on who is using it:
-
Internal applicants do not see the links for registering, signing in, or signing out.
-
External applicants see an option to access My Account Information, but internal applicants (who do not have Candidate Gateway accounts) see an option to access My Contact Information.
-
Internal applicants see more options in the banner across the top of the page. This topic does not discuss those additional options, which provide generic PeopleSoft functionality.
Banner options are controlled through stylesheets that are attached to PeopleTools themes. The installation documentation for Fluid Candidate Gateway includes instructions for applying the theme for external applicants. Refer to the Fluid Candidate Gateway installation documentation for detailed instructions.
