Facets

The Job Search page in Candidate Gateway provides faceted searching. Faceted job searching allows browsing jobs from a set of pre-determined categories which appear in the Filter By area of the page. Clicking a Filter By value narrows down the list of jobs accordingly.

For example, one of the delivered facets is for the job’s recruiting location. The “Filter By” area of the page has a Location filter. This filter includes by links representing the recruiting locations for all of the jobs in the search results. Selecting a location narrows down the list to include only postings with the selected location.

Faceted searching is a feature of the PeopleTools Search Framework. For the Job Search page, fields are marked as potential facets in the HC_HRS_JOB_POSTING search definition, and they are activated in the HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING search category.

For instructions on adding and removing facets from a search, see PeopleSoft Talent Acquisition Manager: Configuring Recruiting Search Facets.

Delivered Facets

As delivered, the Job Search page has the following facets:

  • Location (recruiting location)

  • Department

  • Job Family

  • Jobs Posted In

Facet Options for the Job Posting Date

Oracle delivers two options for a facet that helps applicants filter postings by the posting date.

  • The Jobs Posted In facet offers hierarchical filtering based first on the year that the job was posted and then, after an applicant selects a year, based on the month that the job was posted.

  • The Jobs Posted Within facet, which requires PeopleTools 8.54 or later, filters based on how recently the job was posted. Examples of filtering options include Last Week, Last Month, and so forth.

Note:

To ensure compatibility with versions of PeopleTools earlier than 8.54, the Job Search page is delivered with the Jobs Posted In facet. If you are using PeopleTools 8.54 or later, you can deactivate this facet and activate the Jobs Posted Within facet instead. For instructions, see PeopleSoft Talent Acquisition Manager: Configuring Recruiting Search Facets.

Enabling Additional Facets

The following fields are marked as facets in the search definition and can be added to the Job Search page simply by adding them to the facet list in the HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING search category:

To add other facets, you need to modify both the search definition and the search category.

Note:

The Type field (internal or external posting) and the My Association field (recruiter, hiring manager, and so forth) are marked as facets in the search definition. However, they should not be added to the HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING search category for Candidate Gateway. They are marked as facets for Global Search in Talent Acquisition Manager, which uses the same search definition with a different search category. To avoid accidentally activating these facets for Candidate Gateway, do not use the Auto-Detect Facets option for the HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING search category.
