JavaScript API

A JavaScript API can be used by customers to dynamically extract information from fields displayed in specific pages of the Recruiting Center, send the information to an external system, and capture the information back into the Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition fields. A JavaScript API can be disabled if the customer is worried about various security threats.

A Recruiting setting is available: Enable JavaScript API. If the setting is set to No and a recruiter creates a method in JavaScript and attempts to run it, the system will see that the JavaScript API is disabled and it will not execute the method. This functionality prevents malicious extraction or insertion of information with scripting from the Recruiting product.
