Configuring Offer Fields
The configuration of offer fields is done in the Offer Fields feature in the Recruiting Administration menu.
When editing or creating an offer field, system administrators specify the following:
-
The availability of the offer field in the Recruiting Center which is done by selecting the Taleo Recruiting option.
-
The content required for the offer field, that is whether the content is not required or required for saving.
-
The security level of the offer field, that is General, Restricted or Confidential.
-
The Organization-Location-Job Field structure associated to the offer field, if any.
-
The exceptions based on staffing types being used.
It is possible to filter fields in the Offer Fields list. The Show Fields filter contains the following filtering criteria:
All Offer Types
Offer Terms
Competitive Offer
Expectations
Requisition
When configuring requisition fields in the Recruiting Administration menu, all offer user-defined fields that are part of "offer terms" appear in the listing. Offer user-defined fields are displayed because they are available for use in the requisition context. The configuration of the fields is intermixed. That is, if an offer field is configured in the requisition area, that configuration will impact that field and how it is configured in the offer area as well.
This table provides explanations on certain requisition offer fields.
| Field | Mapped to | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Currency - Compensation Section | Mapped to the Currency field in the requisition file Compensation section. Also mapped to the Currency field in the offer grid (job submission Offers tab). | This field is offer related. |
| Currency | Mapped to the currency field in the requisition file Contingent section. | This field is not offer related. |
| Currency - Bonus Section | Mapped to the Currency - Bonus Section field in the requisition file Budget section. | This field is not offer related. |
| Currency - Budget Section | Mapped to the Currency - Budget Section field in the requisition file Budget section. | This field is not offer related. |
| Maximum Salary | Mapped to the Annualized Salary field in the offer grid (job submission Offers tab). | |
| Minimum Salary | Mapped to the Salary (Pay Basis) field in the offer grid (job submission Offers tab). | The Salary (Pay Basis) field is updated by two actions (besides manual edits): 1) When copying the minimum requisition pay to this field within the offer grid. 2) When the user calculates compensation by pay basis. |
The following offer fields are available in the offer form. They have calculation relationships and it is recommended that the offer form layout be configured to group them together:
Annualized Salary
Salary (Pay Basis)
Pay Basis
When configuring requisition offer fields, both standard and user-defined fields, a distinct configuration of the Content Required attribute is done for the requisition and the offer context. All other contextualization of these fields (that is Security Level) is shared between requisition and offer field configurations.
