Uploading Jobs

Sourcing directly integrates with OTAC Recruiting providing full autonomy to the Sourcing Administrator and multilingual support with no integration to maintain.

The image is an illustration of the integration points between Recruiting and Sourcing.

To integrate your organization’s open job requisitions to Sourcing, whether from your company career website, job boards or Recruiting, the Job Feed API uses the Job Connector (Synchronization Scheduler) to automatically update the job sync data at automatic intervals between every 15 minutes to every 24 hours or on-demand manually. With the integration between Sourcing and Recruiting, customers are able to:
  • Select which of the Career Sections will feed Sourcing.

  • Filter jobs by country or company.

  • Group several Career Sections for each site.

  • Use different Career Sections for each site.

Path: Sourcing > Configuration > Taleo > [Taleo Enterprise Edition Job Connector]

Organization, Location and Job Field (Category)

Job Category

When an Administrator sets up a Job Feed integration between OTAC and Sourcing, they can map which fields in the OTAC Job Field correspond to the Sourcing Job Category. In the Sourcing Configuration area a read-only browser is populated for viewing the Job Field (Job Category level) tree information. The Sourcing tree is updated when job fields are changed in OTAC. The data feed from OTAC also populates the corresponding Job Category facet in Sourcing, which is used throughout Sourcing (e.g. for Category Landing pages and job searches).

Job Location

When an Administrator sets up a Job Feed integration between OTAC and Sourcing, they can map which fields in the OTAC Location correspond to the Sourcing city, state/province and country. In the Sourcing Configuration area a read-only browser is populated for viewing the location tree information. The Sourcing tree is updated when location fields are changed in OTAC. The data feed provides Sourcing all the different OTAC job locations, including secondary locations for a job, so that Sourcing can use them in job searches.

Job Organization

Customers that have different companies in TEE and who want to be able to use them as facets in Sourcing (while running the Job Feed API), can map the Organization in the OLF to a Company facet.

  • When used, the mapping function maps Organization to a company or brand.

  • When activated, this creates a facet in the Job Results page from which users can filter jobs.

  • When activated, this allows the Administrator to filter sites based on company (organization).

    Note: For a job to show up on the Job Details page, the Company filter must be enabled in the Site Builder.

To use this feature, users must go into the configuration and set the Organization level. It is recommended that customers minimize the number of times that the Organization mapping is changed; this should only happen during setup or while changing the organization in SmartOrg.

Multilingual Capabilities

When an Administrator sets up a Job Feed integration between OTAC and Sourcing, OTAC sends job fields that are translated or relate to the job requisition language (e.g., title, description internal, description external, qualifications internal, qualifications external, base language). Translated information from OTAC is mapped to the locales/languages in Sourcing.
