Requisition Posting
Requisition posting consists of publishing a requisition to have candidates applying on the job.
When a requisition has been created and approved, the next step is to post it. Here is a basic posting and sourcing process. System administrators create a Source Tracking list which is used by recruiters and candidates. Recruiters post requisitions to Career Sections. Recruiters can post to additional sources such as job boards, agencies and also use gateways to send out requests for sourcing help. Candidates apply to jobs and complete the Source Tracking information. Some tracking is automated if the candidates are coming from certain job boards. They can also put in event ID's from advertisements. Once the source of the candidate is tracked, recruiters then can view the information in the candidate file.
Accessing the Posting and Sourcing feature
There are several ways to access the Posting and Sourcing feature:
-
When a requisition is ready for posting or already posted, you can click the Status Detail link in the requisitions list and you will be taken to the Posting and Sourcing tab of the requisition.
-
From the More Actions menu within the requisition file.
-
From the Posting and Sourcing tab within the requisition file.
-
From the Contextual Action menu in the requisitions list.
-
From the Tasks channel, the Ready for Sourcing link will take you directly to a list of requisitions that need to be posted.
Places and services to post requisitions
Depending on what your organization has activated and your permissions, the Posting and Sourcing feature provides several services to post requisitions:-
Internal or external career sections.
-
Mobile career sections: Customers can specify if a career section can be accessed from mobile devices. When candidates receive a message on their mobile device regarding a new job opening and decide to take a look at the job while using their mobile device, candidates are automatically redirected to the mobile career section and are able to view and apply for the job. System administrators specify if the career section is a mobile career section and then link the standard career section to a mobile career section. When a requisition is posted to a standard career section, the system automatically posts the requisition to the mobile career section to which the standard career section is linked. In the Recruiting Center, when posting a requisition, the mobile career section to which a standard career section is linked is not displayed in the Career Sections list. This is to prevent users from posting requisitions directly to a mobile career section.
-
eQuest job boards: Recruiters can post their requisitions to multiple job boards through the eQuest job distribution portal. Recruiters must post a requisition on a career section before posting the requisition to a job board. A requisition can be posted as many times as required but it cannot be posted twice on the same job board account. All job board accounts to which a requisition is already posted will be unavailable in the Sourcing Manager page. The requisition must be posted on an external company career section for at least the same time as on eQuest job board account.
-
Certified job posting distribution suppliers: Recruiters can select a certified job posting distribution supplier (other than eQuest) that will distribute job postings through job boards. A new type of Oracle Validated Integration (OVI) has been put in place to allow integrations with job posting distribution suppliers. Recruiters must post a requisition on a career section that is external and public before posting the requisition to a job board.
-
Staffing agents: Users can ask an advertising agency to post an ad.
-
Non-electronic media such as newspapers, magazines and trade publications, billboards and broadcasting. A list of preferred non-electronic media can be created in My Setup, under Preferences.
-
Gateways such as internet mining.
When posting a requisition, the system dynamically calculates the posting start date and end date for the mobile career section. The posting start date and end date on the mobile career section are based on the dates of the standard career section to which the mobile career section is linked.
-
If the mobile career section is linked to a single standard career section, the posting start date and end date of the standard career section are used.
-
If the mobile career section is linked to multiple standard career sections, the earliest start date among the standard career sections is used; the latest end date among the standard career sections is used.
