Recruitment Templates and the Configurable Display of Job Opening Data

Every job opening is associated with a recruitment template that brings together various other templates to control the content and layout of job opening-related pages. The Recruiting Installation - General Page specifies system-wide default templates as well as a segmenting type field that can be used to assign different recruitment templates to job openings with specific data. For example, if the segmenting type field is Department, then specific departments can be associated with specific recruitment templates, and job openings with those departments are assigned the department-specific recruitment template.

Data for the segmenting type field is always entered before you access the main Job Opening page, enabling the system to assign the recruitment template before you access the Job Opening page. Only recruitment administrators can override this assignment.

The recruitment template is associated with a job opening template that identifies sections to include on the Job Opening page. The job opening template also organizes the sections under tabs that you define.

For a complete list of possible sections, refer to the documentation for the Job Opening Page.

During the job creation process, specific fields within a section can optionally be hidden from users with certain roles. Use a flexible job creation process to configure this behavior.

Typically, you use the flexible job creation process to limit which fields are visible to hiring managers. This configuration allows managers to focus on a subset of information without being distracted or confused by fields that a recruiter will complete. The fields remain hidden while the job opening is unsaved or in Draft status. When the job is opened or submitted for approval, all users including hiring managers can view the complete job opening data.
