Enable hCaptcha

Create a more secure career site experience with hCAPTCHA support. To rule out the possibility that a user entering a career site is a bot, they're presented with a challenge that they must pass before they can join talent communities, apply for jobs, and manage profiles.

hCAPTCHA is activated for candidate experience at the global level. You can have more than one hCAPTCHA configuration set up, but only one can be active at a time.

Once enabled, hCAPTCHA is used on the following Oracle Recruiting verification pages when they're accessed directly from the career site:

  • Apply to Job
  • Register for Event
  • Join a Talent Community
  • Access a Talent Profile (CSS)
  • Other verification screens that open after clicking candidate experience links from email messages (RMI, offer, interview, etc.) These are links for users who've previously passed the challenge, and proven they aren't bots.
hCAPTCHA isn't used in the following scenarios:
  • Users with active Keep Me Signed In are auto-verified when returning to the career site, and therefore aren't presented with a challenge.
  • If you're using the Apply with Indeed optimized experience, it's assumed that candidates have already been verified on the Indeed site, so no challenge is presented on the career site.
