Configure Job Requisitions to Display a Skills Section

You can create rules in Transaction Design Studio to display a Skills section in job requisitions so that recruiters can define skills required for a job.

Display the Skills Section

The Skills section in job requisitions is hidden by default and isn't required. To display the Skills section, you need to create a rule in Transaction Design Studio using these actions:

  • Recruiting - Create Job Requisition

  • Recruiting - View and Edit Job Requisition

  1. Activate a sandbox and page editing at the Site layer in Settings and Actions Menu > Edit Pages > Activate a sandbox.

  2. On your Home page, go to My Client Groups > Quick Actions > HCM Experience Design Studio.

  3. Click the Transaction Design Studio tab.

  4. Select one of these actions: Recruiting - Create Job Requisition or Recruiting - View and Edit Job Requisition.

  5. Click Add to create a rule to display certain sections and fields.

  6. In the Basic Details section, enter a name and description for the rule.

  7. You can select a role, one or more recruiting types, and one or more countries for which the rule applies.

    • If you don't select a role, the rule applies to all roles.

    • When you select a recruiting type, the rule applies only to job requisitions with the same recruiting type.

    • When you select a country, the rule applies only to job requisitions for which one of the location is part of this country. The Primary Location or one of the Other Locations must be part of the selected country. For example, you select the country "United States". A requisition's location is Pleasanton, California, US. The rule applies to this requisition.

  8. In the Show or Hide Regions section, set the Skills to Visible.

  9. Click Save and Close.

When the Skills section is displayed, the Edit button is available when all the following conditions are met:

  • The job requisition is in one of these phases: Approval, Job Formatting, Posting, Open.
  • The job requisition state isn't Deleted.
  • The user has these privileges: Update Job Requisition (IRC_UPDATE_JOB_REQUISITION_PRIV) and Update Job Requisition After Draft Phase (IRC_UPDATE_JOB_REQUISITION_AFTER_DRAFT_PHASE_PRIV).

Enable the Profile Option

You can define the defaulting behavior for skills on job requisitions created using a job or position by enabling the profile option ORA_IRC_REQ_DEFAULT_SKILLS_FROM_PROFILE_ENABLED. This profile option is disabled by default. When you enable it, skills are defaulted from the profile when recruiters create a job requisition based on a job or position.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, click the Tasks icon.
  2. Click Search.
  3. Search for the task Manage Administrator Profile Values.
  4. Click the task name.
  5. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for the profile option code ORA_IRC_REQ_DEFAULT_SKILLS_FROM_PROFILE_ENABLED.
  6. Set the profile value at the Site level to Yes.
  7. Click Save and Close.

For details, see Create and Edit Profile Options.

All skill content sections configured to be displayed as part of the Job profile type configuration will be displayed in requisitions. The requisitions will also display the fields configured to be displayed in these content sections in the Job profile type configuration. (My Client Groups > Profiles > Profile Types > Job).

If many skill content sections are configured to be displayed in the Job profile type configuration, they will all be grouped into a single Skills section in requisitions. While job requisitions can show many skill content sections defined in the Job profile type configuration, it's strongly recommended to use a single skill content section in that Job profile type configuration so that a single skill content section is displayed in requisitions. Furthermore, if you have subscribed to the Skills Center product, the single skill content section used in the Job profile type configuration should be the one to which Skills Center is a subscriber. This will help simplify the uptake of future improvements to skill support related to requisitions.

Consider this information related to skills in job requisitions:

Skills aren't multilingual, it's not possible to translate the name of a skill in many languages. For this reason, it's recommended to not use skills in multilingual job requisitions because the skill name will always be displayed to candidates exactly as entered, regardless of the language in which candidates are viewing the requisition.

Skills added to a job requisition are visible to external candidates and internal candidates when they view the details of the requisition on a career site. They're currently not displayed to agents viewing the requisition details.

When additional skill attribute values are captured on requisitions, only the skill name is displayed to candidates viewing the requisition details. Other attributes aren't displayed to candidates.
