Principals of Enhanced Applicant Security

This section discusses the basic principals of enhanced applicant security.

What Does Enhanced Applicant Security Do?

Users subject to enhanced applicant security can see:

• Applicants who are associated with the user’s own job openings.

• Applicants who applied without a job opening.

The user’s own job openings are those where the user is the creator or a member of the hiring team.

Note:

Under enhanced applicant security, users do not have access to job openings through department tree security.

Who is Subject to Enhanced Applicant Security?

The enhanced applicant security setting is associated with recruiting role types. Recruiting role types are, in turn, associated with PeopleTools roles. Therefore, a user’s PeopleTools roles determine which role type(s) they have and whether they are subject to enhanced applicant security. There is no system-wide setting for enhanced applicant security.

Use the Recruiting Roles Page to activate enhanced applicant security for specific recruiting role types.

A user with multiple recruiting role types is subject to enhanced applicant security only if all of the role types use it. For example, suppose you activate enhanced applicant security for the Hiring Manager recruiting role type, but not for the Recruiter recruiting role type. A user with both of these recruiting role types is not subject to enhanced applicant security. That is, the least restrictive applicant security setting is used.

Note:

Enhanced applicant security cannot be activated for the Recruitment administrator recruiting role type, so recruiting administrators are never subject to this security even if they also have additional recruiting role types.

Does Enhanced Applicant Security Apply to Reports?

Enhanced applicant security does not apply to reports. To restrict access to the data in the reports, use PeopleTools security to restrict access to the reports entirely.
