Set Up a Talent Community

You set up a talent community so that external candidates can join it to show their interests in your organization.

Here's what to do

  1. Enable Talent Community

  2. Configure the Career Site with Talent Community Sign Up

  3. Create a Talent Community Application Flow

Enable Talent Community

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:

    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience

    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management

    • Task: Enterprise Recruiting and Candidate Experience Information

  2. Expand the Talent Community section and click Edit.

  3. Select Active.
  4. Select the fields to display to external candidates so they can set their preferences when they join a talent community. Possible options are Category, Job function, Category and job function. Note that Location is always displayed.
  5. Use the option Send Job Alert Every n Days to set the frequency to send the job alert.
    Note: If you select 0, no job alerts will be sent out. The 0 option is to support the use case where organizations want candidates to select job preferences to be automatically added to Talent Community pools but not receive job alerts.

  6. Click Save.

Configure the Career Site with Talent Community Sign Up

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:

Create a Talent Community Application Flow

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:

    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience

    • Functional Area: Candidate Experience

    • Task: Job Application Flow Configuration

  2. Click Create.

  3. In the Basic Information section, enter a name and a code for the flow and select Talent Community for the application flow type.

  4. Click Save and Continue.

  5. Click Create to create a version of the flow.

  6. Enter the version name.

  7. Enter the version start date. You can also select the Start on Activation option to activate the version as soon as it's ready and activated.

  8. Select options for the flow.

    • Legal Disclaimer: You can ask candidates to accept a legal disclaimer. The legal disclaimer appears at the beginning of the job application flow. Candidates must click Agree to proceed. The Job Application Legal Disclaimer is configured in the Recruiting Content Library.

    • Campaign Opt In: You can ask external candidates if they agree to receive recruitment marketing communications. Candidates don't have to agree to proceed with their job application. The opt-in check box appears with this short sentence "I agree to receiving future recruitment marketing communications." If an active version of the campaign opt-in statement is available in the content library, the sentence is displayed as a link that the candidate can click to read the full statement. The campaign opt-in statement is configured in the Recruiting Content Library.

    • Job Alert Opt In: You can ask candidates to set up job alerts to receive updates about new job opportunities matching their preferred job category and location.

  9. Add blocks to the Personal Info section by dragging and dropping them to the desired location. By default, the Profile Import and Contact Information blocks are added.

  10. Click Save and Activate.

The active Talent Community Flow will determine what data can be edited by external candidates in the Edit Personal Information section of the Profile Management page.

Candidates will see Preferred Location and Preferred Category, or Preferred Job Function on the Talent Community sign-up page. They will need to provide a value in at least one of these fields for the sign-up to be successful. If you added the Profile Import and Contact Information blocks to the flow, they're displayed below these selectors. If any other blocks are in the flow, they'll be visible after the candidate uses the Show More Fields button.

Note: The Show More Fields button isn't displayed if there's a required field after the Profile Import and Contact Information blocks.
