Search Objects

Candidate Gateway uses the PeopleSoft Search Framework for job searching. Before applicants can search for jobs, you must deploy the necessary search definitions and search categories and build the indexes. Until this is done, the Job Search page cannot show any job postings.

The following table summarizes the search definitions and associated search categories that are used for Candidate Gateway searches. The table also identifies which categories are auto-deployed when the search definition is deployed and which categories must be manually deployed.

Search Definition	Search Category	Description
HC_HRS_JOB_POSTING	HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING (must be manually deployed)	This index contains job posting data for the Job Search page.
HC_HRS_JOB_CONTENT	HC_HRS_JOB_CONTENT (auto-deployed)	This index contains job posting profile data for the Search My Profile search.
HC_JPM_PERSON_PROFILE HC_JPM_NONPERSON_PROFILE	HC_JPM_PROFILES (must be manually deployed)	These indexes contain employee profile data and non-person profile data (such as interest profiles or job codes profiles) for the Search My Profile search.

Note:

Do not be misled by the fact that the HC_HRS_JOB_POSTING search definition auto-deploys a same-named category. The auto-deployed category supports Talent Acquisition Manager searches, not the Candidate Gateway job search.
