Integration with Direct Apply
Direct Apply allows candidates who navigate to the career site of an approved partner to apply for a job and provide required information while staying on the partner’s site. The information is received in Oracle Recruiting and a candidate and job application are created. The candidate doesn’t have to navigate back to the career site of the customer to submit their application. The partner can query on the status of the candidate as they go through the job application process.
The Direct Apply partner category is available in Oracle Marketplace.
Below are the touchpoints of the integration initiated by the partner. Oracle Recruiting won't push data or call any partner API:
- Partner retrieves the list of posted jobs.
- Partner retrieves requisition details.
- Partner retrieves application flow details.
- Partner verifies if the candidate exists.
- Partner creates candidate if needed.
- Partner creates job application.
- Partner retrieves job application statuses.
The Direct Apply third party integration category is used by external partners like the other existing categories (assessment, background check, tax credit, profile import, job distribution).
The steps to enable the Direct Apply category are similar to the ones of other partner categories. You obtain the .zip file from the partner, you upload the .zip file in the partner enablement page to obtain the partner key, you configure the user, and you enter the secret code. Note that some partners might have their own activation mechanism.
The administrator then configures the integration using the Recruiting Category Provisioning and Configuration task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.
- If you already use a primary partner site where most of your candidates are sourced from, the Direct Apply category might be a good solution for you. You can use it with as many approved partners as you want. Also, when a single category must be used for a specific case, like resume parsing for a single language, with Direct Apply you could use multiple partners to create job applications for a single job requisition, there's no limit.
- Verify with your Direct Apply partner if they can send the ID from your list of values or if they send free text. If they send free text for degrees, certifications, and establishments, you might want to review the impact of using a predefined list of values (because normally, you capture one or the other).
- Direct Apply only fills default sections.
