Requisition Posting via Certified Job Posting Distribution Suppliers

A new type of Oracle Validated Integration (OVI) has been put in place to allow integrations with job posting distribution suppliers so that customers can select their suppliers of choice.

Customers first need to sign a contract with their job posting distribution suppliers of choice. The supplier must have worked with Oracle to provide a certified integration. If such an integration is available for the desired supplier, customers can request the integration to be made available on their zone. Then, Recruiting Center users who have the permission to distribute job postings to job boards are able to select these certified job posting distribution suppliers.

Recruiters can select certified job posting distribution suppliers via the Job Boards section, under the requisition Posting and Sourcing tab. To post a requisition to a job posting distribution supplier, recruiters must first post the requisition on a career section that is external and public.

After selecting a supplier and account and clicking the Post button, recruiters are asked to select a language if the integration was configured to distribute requisitions in multiple languages. The requisition content provided to the job posting distribution supplier is provided in the selected language.

Recruiters are then taken to a page where they need to provide different information. The main part of the page is provided by the supplier. Some of the requisition information is automatically provided to the supplier, making it possible to pre-fill some fields requested by the supplier. When recruiters are done completing the information, they are taken back to the Recruiting Center Posting and Sourcing tab and the list of job board postings is updated to show the job boards where the requisition has been posted.

The list of job board postings shows all the job boards on which a requisition is posted, unposted, scheduled to be posted, etc. The following information and actions related to a job posting distribution supplier are available:

• Supplier: Shows the various suppliers that are active on the zone, certified job posting distribution suppliers or eQuest.

• Account: Shows the accounts available to the current user. The Account list is sorted to show the most relevant account for the user (based on the information configured on the user account).

• Job Board: Name of the job board.

• Language: Language in which the requisition was posted on the job board.

• Status: Status of the job board. See below for a complete list of possible statuses.

• Start Date: Requisition posting start date.

• End Date: Requisition posting end date.

• Post: The Post button launches the job distribution process for the requisition. The posting is performed by using the selected supplier and account. It is possible to Post the same requisition using multiple suppliers and/or accounts. This requires the user to repeat the posting process multiple times.

• Unpost: The Unpost button makes it possible to unpost the requisition from individual job boards. An unpost request is sent to the job posting distribution supplier and the requisition is unposted. No further action is required by the user.

• Unpost All: The Unpost All button unposts the requisition from all job boards where it is currently posted. An unpost request is sent to the job posting distribution supplier and the requisition is unposted. No further action is required by the user.

• Refresh Status: The Refresh Status button updates the information displayed in the Job Boards list. The information in this list is not updated automatically (unless an action such as Unpost is performed). Users need to click the Refresh Status button to get the most up to date information.

Possible status values for jobs posted via a job posting distribution supplier are as follows:

• Not posted

• Incomplete

• Authorization required

• Scheduled for posting

• Being processed

• Posting request in process

• Posted

• Posted - User update incomplete

• Posted - Unposting request in process

• Posted - Update request in process

• Posted - Update authorization required

• Unposted

• Expired

• Error

In the requisition file History tab, three different types of events can be created by the job distribution feature:

• Requisition Posting (Job Board ): Used when the user clicks on the Post button.

• Requisition Unposting (Job Board ): Used when the user clicks on the Unpost or Unpost All button.

• Requisition Posting Status Change: Used when the status displayed for a posting on a job board changes, whatever the status is Posted, Expired, Unposted, Error, etc.

Note: Some customers may have created Private career sections that are not available via their company's Web site. These Private career sections are used primarily to invite specific candidates to provide, via a job specific URL, additional information on their job submission. Private career sections normally display jobs longer than Standard career sections. There may be situations where a requisition is posted to a job posting distribution supplier and candidates are redirected to a Private career section because the job is no longer posted on a Standard career section and the lowest career section sequence was taken into consideration (order in which the system evaluates on which career section to redirect a candidate coming from a job specific URL). A candidate may click on a job and be redirected to a Private career section, the only career section that is still posting the job. This behavior will be enhanced in a coming release. The plan is to automatically redirect candidates to a career section URL that will not consider Private career sections. The career section sequence will continue to be used, but only Public career sections will be considered.
