Hourly Manager Home Page and Center Stage
Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition supports managers doing self-service hiring and managers working in a decentralized environment. This includes options to use one or more simple home page configurations for various populations of users.
Home pages are configured via the SmartOrg Configuration Profiles feature. A pre-defined Hourly Manager configuration profile is provided with the application and this profile references a pre-defined Hourly Manager center stage. Both provides a reasonable set of default settings which customers can use as a starting point and modify to meet their needs.
The configuration of the Hourly Manager home page consists of the following:
configuring the Hourly Manager center stage.
associating the Hourly Manager center stage to the Hourly Manager configuration profile.
associating the Hourly Manager configuration profile to user accounts.
configuring the mini requisition list.
Center Stage: The default Hourly Manager center stage uses a channel called the Mini Requisition List. By default, the Hourly Manager center stage also contains the Legacy Onboarding channel and a link to the Performance Management Suite (both of which only appear if these modules are deployed and available to the user). The Center Stage feature is available in the Recruiting Administration menu. For details, see the Center Stage chapter.
Configuration Profile: Once the center stage is created, the system administrator must associate it to a configuration profile. The system administrator can use the pre-defined Hourly Manager configuration profile. By default, the Hourly Manager center stage is tied to the Hourly Manager configuration profile. If desired, the system administrator can create a new configuration profile. The configuration and creation of configuration profiles are done in the SmartOrg Configuration Profiles feature. For details, see the Configuration Profile chapter.
User Account: To quickly and easily give users to hourly related capabilities, the system administrator only needs to update the user account by associated it to the Hourly Manager configuration profile. This is done in the SmartOrg User Accounts feature, under the Account Information section.
Mini Requisition (or Job Openings) List: This is a center stage widget option created specifically to help support distributed hourly hiring deployments. This list lets users click directly from the center stage channel into a requisition's candidate list without having to first load the Requisition list page. This mini requisition list can contain up to four columns of summary information about each requisition, including the number of candidates. It can also display up to 30 requisitions (the ones with the most recent submission activity).
The system administrator configures the mini requisition list (if used) via the List Formats feature available in the Recruiting Administration menu. See List Format Configuration for more details. The mini requisition list is called "Job Openings" to better support continuous hiring scenarios. This name can be edited.
Note that the mini requisition list honors the permissions set by the Show filter (e.g., Show Requisitions I Own, I Collaborate On, etc.), if it is made visible on the home page. However, a typical hourly manager configuration is to define user permissions by Personal Coverage Area (for details, see the Personal Coverage Area chapter). This is done via the configuration profile feature by selecting the My coverage area value in the Show Information For Filter Default setting and by hiding this filter from the user via the Show information for Filter Visibility setting. This will make the user's permissions simple and automatic if you can define them in terms of Organizations, Locations and Job Fields.
