Search Enhancements for Hiring Events in Candidate Experience

Take advantage of the new Hiring Events search enhancements that work similarly to jobs search. This includes support for:

  • Postal code search
  • Distance calculation
  • Radius search (supported for all location search modes)

Hiring Events Search

Hiring Events Search

With these enhancements, candidates can better find the hiring events they want to attend.

Steps to Enable

Before you begin:

  • Ensure the following profile option is active: ORA_FND_SEARCH_EXT_ENABLED.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, click the Tasks icon.
  2. Click Search.
  3. On the Search page, search for the task Manage Administrator Profile Values.
  4. Click the task name.
  5. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values, search for the above profile option code.
  6. In the Profile Values section, set the profile value:
  • Y: The code is enabled.
  • N: Default value. The code isn't enabled.
  1. Click Save and Close.
  • Run the scheduled process called ESS Job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS. This ensures that all hiring events that either already exist in the application or those that will be newly created are fully indexed for search. Specify “fa-hcm-irc-hiring-events” in the Index Name to Reingest field.

Use these options to configure hiring events search:

  • Enable my location search
  • Enable postal code search
  • Display distance to search result locations and sort search results by distance

NOTE: The option Display distance to jobs and sort jobs by distance was renamed Display distance to search result location and sort search results by distance because it’s now used for both jobs and events.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
  • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
  • Functional Area: Candidate Experience
  • Task: Career Sites Configuration
  1. Create a career site or edit an existing one.
  2. On the General tab, configure these settings:
  • Distance Calculation – Display distance to search result location and sort search results by distance.
  • Location Search – Enable postal code search
  • Location Search – Enable my location search:
  1. Publish the site.

Tips And Considerations

Distance isn't calculated for virtual events because they don't have a physical location. Virtual events aren't returned in location search.
