Discover, Search, and Apply for Opportunities

Employees who are seeking jobs or gigs can use Opportunity Marketplace to look for new opportunities, shortlist them, apply to them, or recommend others.Discover, Search, and Apply for Opportunities

The Opportunity Marketplace landing page is where employees ("seekers") browse jobs and gigs, or look for opportunities that are recommended to them based on their preferences.

Set or Update Opportunity Preferences

Seekers use the Update Interests card to enter or update their gig or job interests and preferences. Opportunities that match these preferences display on the Opportunity Marketplace landing page as recommendations. They're also sent using email notifications. The email notifications content and their frequency is configured by your administrator.

Discover Recommended Opportunities

As seekers look for jobs and gigs, Opportunity Marketplace automatically recommends and displays some at the top of the page. Recommended opportunities are based on seekers' preferences (like location), their skills, jobs or gigs they recently applied to, and those they recently shortlisted. Seekers can define or update their interests or preferences at any time.

Search for Opportunities

Opportunity seekers can search for opportunities directly by using various parameters like job or gig name, job type, hours per week, or location. Matching opportunities display in the search results.

They can also quickly locate opportunities of interest by entering a job title keyword (such as "engineer" or "designer") , and then use location, or time commitment (like hours per week) as filters for the search results.

Let’s say that a gig seeker is looking for content writer gigs in California. They first search for "content writer" and then filter the search results using the location called "CA, United States". They can further filter the results by start and end date, posted date, or weekly commitment (hours per week).

For each filter, seekers see the top values based on the number of available opportunities. They can also use the filter search box to enter specific values that are not currently listed as top values for the filter (for example, a specific location).

If Dynamics Skills is enabled, then a Skills facet can be used to further refine results for gigs.

Note: Oracle Dynamic Skills is a separately sold product.

Saved Searches

Users can save and share search settings. Saving searches lets users easily return to their previously searched for search results. It also lets them share and promote pre-filtered sets of opportunities.

All Opportunity Marketplace users can:

Create and save personal searches.
Mark their personal searches as their default search, which loads each time they open Opportunity Marketplace.
Enable their personal searches for sharing, and share it with others. They can also copy a search link to share.
Browse through and use any of their own personal searches, as well as Admin-created system searches.

Additionally, Admin users can:

Create system searches that are made available to all users.
Mark any of the system searches as default for all users.

Note: User default searches override admin defaults on load.

Note: You must run the scheduled process called “ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS” to ensure that all jobs and gigs that already exist in the application are fully indexed for search. Specify “fa-hcm- requisition” in the Index Name to Reingest field. You must also run the scheduled process called “ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS” to ensure that saved search index definitions are set up for usage. Specify “fa-hcm-savedsearch” in the Index Name to Reingest field.

View Opportunity Details

Once seekers find the jobs or gigs they're looking for, they can view the details for each by clicking them. Details vary depending on whether they are looking at a gig or a job, but this view contains things such as the location, timeframe, number of hours a gig seeker may need to spend on a gig, the names of other team players, and the contact details for the opportunity creator.

If Dynamic Skills is enabled, gig seekers can see the list of skills associated with a gig, and which of those match with their own Skills Center skills.

Shortlist an Opportunity

Seekers can shortlist an opportunity using the Mark as Favorite action. Shortlisted jobs or gigs are listed on the Opportunity Marketplace dashboard favorites tab. Once an opportunity is added to favorites, the Mark as Favorite action changes to Remove from Favorites so that a seeker can remove it when they are ready.

Recommend an Opportunity

Users can recommend opportunities, or share them with others using the actions available on the job or gig details pages. Depending on whether they are viewing the details for a job or a gig, they can share the job or gig, copy a link to the job or gig, refer a candidate (jobs only), or refer an employee (jobs only).

Apply to an Opportunity

Seekers click Apply to open the application page where they can enter their information.

For gigs, the application form provides a field for candidates to enter a brief profile, or to say why they believes they are a good fit for a gig. Once submitted, the application goes to the gig creator. When a gig creator reviews a profile and assigns a candidate to a gig, the candidate receives a notification letting them know that they were assigned.

For jobs, once the application is submitted, it becomes associated with the related job requisition and follows that flow.

Note: You can only apply once to a gig. If you withdraw from a gig, the Apply button becomes disabled, and you won't be able to reapply.

View and Manage Applications

Opportunity seekers view and manage submitted applications by navigating to the Opportunity Marketplace landing page, and clicking Actions > Submitted Applications.

Note: Users must have both access and view privileges to access the dashboard.

If both gigs and jobs are enabled, submitted gig applications display first by default. Seekers can click Jobs to view job applications.

For gigs, the Active section contains all of the ongoing gigs that seekers have applied to, were assigned to, and that are pending approval from the line manager. They can withdraw from gigs that have Pending Approval or Applied statuses. Once a gig is assigned, a seeker can't withdraw from it.

The Inactive section contains all of the gigs that are completed, not selected, withdrawn, and not selected. From either section, seekers can either contact the gig manager, or view the manager’s profile.

For jobs, seekers can see all the job applications they submitted. The Active section shows all the seeker's active applications, and the History section shows all of the inactive applications (withdrawn and not selected). They can schedule an interview for an active application if that application is eligible for candidate interview scheduling as configured in internal career sites. They are able to view an interviewer's schedule through the job application, and select an available date and time.

Access a Job Offer

Users are able to access job offers from the job application for which an offer is available. They can then accept or reject the job.
