Monitor upcoming interviews and generate interview guides.
Track pending feedback and identify candidates ready for offers.
Reduce administrative effort through automated communications and recommendations.

The Hiring Workspace for Store Managers is available through the Hiring Workspace for Store Managers quick action within My Team for users granted the appropriate access privileges.

Upon entering the workspace, managers receive a dynamic summary highlighting the hiring activities that require immediate attention.

Ask Oracle

Use Ask Oracle conversational widget to ask questions and get info about requisitions, job applications, interviews and feedback available in the workspace.

Requisition health monitoring

The workspace proactively identifies up to 5 requisitions that may need intervention, including:

Stagnant requisitions with little recent activity. Stagnant means 10 or more applications with no activity for 3 or more days.
Low-volume requisitions receiving insufficient applications. Low volume means fewer than 3 applications per day.
Skill-gap requisitions where candidate qualifications don't align with job requirements. A requisition needs to have 5 or more applications with an average skill score less than 3.

Managers can quickly review affected requisitions and take corrective actions such as suspending (for requisitions with 0 applications), closing (for requisitions with 1 or more job applications), or sourcing new candidates.

Requisition insights

Selecting a requisition provides:

A detailed explanation of requisition health concerns.
AI-recommended candidates with strong matching qualifications.
