How do I enable person types in Recruiting?

System person types supported in Global Human Resources (GHR) are all supported in Recruiting.

After new person types are enabled and migrated into Recruiting, these new person types are all considered as external candidates in Recruiting. You can see them in different areas in Recruiting such as application flows (apply, request information, talent community), sourcing (campaigns, pools, events), candidate search, offers, candidate duplicate check and merge, filters.

These person types are supported and enabled by default in Recruiting. You can't disabled them nor change their sequence:

  • ORA_CANDIDATE
  • EMP
  • CWK
  • EX_EMP
  • EX_CWK
  1. In Setup and Maintenance, search for and open the Manage Common Lookups task.
  2. Search for the ORA_IRC_PERSON_TYPE lookup type.
  3. Enable the person types you want to use in your organization.
  4. Save your changes.
  5. After you’ve enabled new person types, run the Load Workers into the Candidate Table scheduled process to migrate all the person types you enabled (Navigator > Tools > Scheduled Process).
    Only new person types added after the scheduled process was last run are loaded into Recruiting. When the scheduled process is run, candidate records for the Recruiting enabled person types are created in the IRC_CANDIDATES table during migration.
  6. You need to enable the Recruiting Redwood profile options to import additional person types from GHR. Note that the Load Workers into the Candidate Table scheduled process won’t add person types if these profile options aren’t enabled. For details, see Set profile options for Redwood pages.
