Job Submission Status

Job Submission Status is a feature that allows candidates to be informed of where they are in the hiring process because they can view the status associated to their job applications.

The Job Submission Statuses feature allows system administrators to display the status of job submissions in the My Submissions page and the My Referrals page of a Career Section. The Job Submission Statuses feature is part of the Candidate Communication Agent module. The Candidate Communication Agent options must be activated for each Career Section otherwise the job submission statuses are not displayed in the My Submissions or the My Referrals pages.

System administrator can choose the display type of the job submission status:

  • If the Default Configuration is selected, the Taleo Default values are used in the Career Section to display the job submission status.

  • If the Customized Configuration is selected, the custom values are displayed when the usage context of the status matches the context of the candidate selection workflow.

Default job submission statuses are available to all organizations:
  • Draft indicates that a candidate has not completed his/her job application.

  • Complete indicates that a candidate has completed his/her job application.

  • Withdraw indicates that a candidate has withdrawn his/her job application.

Labels are created for a specific step of a candidate selection workflow. When creating a job submission status, system administrators can choose to use the default value of a job submission status or a customized version for a specific step of a candidate selection workflow. System administrators can customize the job submission status for all the possible steps that can be added to a candidate selection workflow in the Recruiting Center. System administrators can add a more detailed description that the candidate can view on the customized job submission status.

For example, for the 1st interview step, the system administrator has customized the label of the job submission status when all types of candidates are applying on a professional type of requisition. When a candidate applying on a Professional type of requisition reaches the 1st Interview step, the customized job submission status label is displayed in the My Submissions or My Referrals pages of the candidate in the Career Section. In Recruiting, recruiters and managers can view the candidate status in the candidate file header. This allows recruiters to know what the candidate is being told about the position via the Career Section.
