User Accounts

A user account is needed for administrator, recruiter and front-end users of Sourcing to log into the application through the Portal page.

Front-End User accounts are allowed when the Site Mode is set to Referrals. They are created when a potential user (e.g., employee or alumni) clicks the Sign Up button from the Portal page and completes the registration process.

Recruiter accounts are set up when an administrator sends an Invitation to Recruiter email to a potential recruiter, and the recruiter follows the link in the email and completes the registration process.

Administrator accounts are set up by Oracle. To perform configuration, branding and integration work on your organization's Sourcing zone, submit a service request to Oracle to have Administrator role privileges assigned to you.

  • The Email Domains configuration setting enables a check of a user's login email address against your organization's email domains to verify whether the user is an employee.

  • The Choose Relationship configuration setting requires registrants to select their relationship to the company during the registration process.

  • If Choose Relationship is enabled, the Employee Number Validation configuration setting requires registrants to input their Employee Number when selecting an Employee relationship.

Generally, users with accounts log into Sourcing using the Sign In button on the Portal page. Employees can also access Sourcing these ways:
  • If the Partially Log in Trusted Referrers configuration setting is enabled, employees who are trusted referrers, and are navigating in from recruiter emails, get partially logged in as likely users. This allows them to access Sourcing to refer a candidate without signing in, and still get referral credit.

  • Employees can sign in through Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn, and access Sourcing without the need for a separate login and password.
