Info About Recruiting
Recruiting is an HTML recruiting solution that helps enterprises assess and hire the best talent.
This product replaces the former Flex-based product (now called Legacy Recruiting). On the Welcome Center, the Recruiting link takes you to the new Recruiting product, and the Legacy Recruiting link takes you to the former Flex-based recruiting product.
Recruiting uses the same exact platform and services but offers a simple and modern user interface usable on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone. Recruiting works on the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition platform, capitalizing on the same user accounts, user types, user permissions, settings, and other configuration. Recruiting uses concepts, icons, data and behavior similar to the Legacy Recruiting while providing an improved user experience.
Mobile Support
Recruiting is supported on a variety of devices. Whether a desktop or smartphone is used, the display will adjust to render the optimal experience on the device.
For example, viewing and navigating into submission details has been optimized on the smartphone. Instead of displaying all of the submission details (which can result in a lot of scrolling on a phone’s small screen), the view initially opens on the submission’s summary card and users can flip to view other submissions while always viewing this same level of detail. If necessary, users can click to see the complete submission details. The same applies to the requisition details.
Because of the limited space on smartphones, the information is displayed differently than on a desktop. For example, on smartphones and portrait mode of tablets, the columns displayed in requisitions and submissions lists are limited and lists cannot be sorted. In addition, submission disposition actions are only available in the details page (and not on the list page).
Language Support
Recruiting supports the same set of languages as the Legacy Recruiting. All languages activated in the Legacy Recruiting product are reflected in Recruiting.
There are several concepts around languages.
-
Application language: When you sign in, you select the language in which you want to use the product. The product user interface reflects the language you selected. This is what we call the application language.
-
Content language: Although the product user interface is displayed in one language, you can still see entities such as requisitions and submissions in other languages. This is what we call the content language. For example, a requisition is created in French and you're using Recruiting in English. The content language is set by the administrator in the user's account. You can change this default content language under My Setup.
-
Correspondence language: When you create a correspondence, the language used is the correspondence language. The language is derived from the language the submission was created. The correspondence language is set by the administrator in the user's account. You can change this default correspondence language under My Setup.

Recruiting Process
Recruiting is a solution that helps organization source, assess, and hire the best talent.
Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition includes several core products used for the recruiting process.
The Career Section is a website where an organization posts jobs for positions to be filled. An organization can have multiple career sections to meet their unique hiring processes and adapt branding and content to their business needs. These career sections can be used for both external and internal candidates. Candidates interact with a career section when they search for jobs, apply for jobs, create a profile, share job details, refer people for a job.
Once candidates have applied for jobs, Recruiting is used by anyone in a full or partial recruiting role, including recruiters, hiring managers, support staff, HR. Recruiting provides tools to create and manage job requisitions, source and nurture candidates, screen candidates to improve the quality of hires, interview candidates, track the progress of candidates through the selection process, create and manage job offers. Many functionalities can be configured for users in different roles.
Onboarding provides a unified, automated, and customizable system for transitioning candidates, new hires, and employees. Onboarding helps candidates quickly complete necessary documentation while increasing engagement and time to productivity through access to rich media content and integrated compliance and role based training.
The final piece to the core set of products is the Configuration product. This is where administrators can work with settings, permissions, and tools to configure Recruiting, Career Section, Onboarding, and other products.
