Configuring Recruiting Search Facets

To modify the facets on a search page, update the facet settings on the search definition and the search category. The following table identifies the search definitions and search categories for the faceted searches in the recruiting system:

Search Page Search Definition Search Category

Browse Applicants Page

HC_HRS_APPLICANT

HC_HRS_APPLICANT

Global Search for Applicants

HC_HRS_APP_INDEX

HC_HRS_APP_INDEX_GS

Browse Job Openings Page

HC_HRS_JOB_OPENING

HC_HRS_JOB_OPENING

Global Search for Job Postings

HC_HRS_JOB_POSTING

HC_HRS_JOB_POSTING

PeopleSoft Candidate Gateway: Job Search Page (Classic Candidate Gateway) and PeopleSoft Candidate Gateway: Search Jobs Page (Fluid Candidate Gateway)

HC_HRS_JOB_POSTING

HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING

To modify the facets for a search definition:

  1. Navigate to the Deploy Search Definitions component (PeopleTools, and then Search Framework, and then Administration, and then Deploy\Delete Object) and undeploy the search definition and search category.

  2. Navigate to the Search Definition component (PeopleTools, and then Search Framework, and then Designer, and then Search Definition) and access the search definition to be modified.

  3. Access the Map Search Attributes page.

  4. In the Fields Included in the Index grid, select or deselect check boxes in the Is Faceted column to add or remove facets.

  5. Save your changes.

  6. Navigate to the Search Category definition (PeopleTools, and then Search Framework, and then Designer, and then Search Category) and access relevant the search category

    Note:

    The HC_HRS_JOB_POSTING search definition is associated with two search categories. Be sure to select the correct one depending on whether you are configuring the Candidate Gateway job search or the global search for job postings.

  7. Access the Facets page.

  8. Add or remove facets from the facet list.

    To automatically add all facets from the related search definition(s), deselect the Auto detect facets check box, save, then re-select the Auto detect facets check box and save again. This removes disabled facets from the grid and add newly enabled facets to the grid. 

    Important:

    Do not use this method with the HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING category because the related search definition (which is associated with multiple job categories) includes facets that should not be used for the Candidate Gateway job search. Instead, manually add a single row to the Facets grid, then manually select the facet name.

  9. For a date range facet such as the “Jobs Posted Within” or “Job Closing In” facet for Candidate Gateway (in the HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING category), click the Advanced Settings link to define relative date options such as Last Week

    Date range facets require PeopleTools 8.54 or later. For detailed information about the appropriate advanced facet settings for the Jobs Posted Within and Job Closing In facets, refer to the next section in this topic.

    Note:

    The required PeopleTools version for Fluid Candidate Gateway ensures that Fluid Candidate Gateway implementations always support the settings described here. However, Classic Candidate Gateway also runs on earlier versions of PeopleTools that do not support advanced settings for facets.

  10. Redeploy the search definition and search category, then rebuild the search index.
