Configuring the Create Candidate File

The Create Candidate feature is used when a recruiter receives a resume and wants to capture or enter the candidate's information into the system. The Create Candidate action is available in the Recruiting Center home page (center stage) as well as in the candidates list via the More Actions menu.

The configuration of the Create Candidate feature consists of the following steps:

1. Selecting the fields to include in the candidate file. You can use standard fields provided by Oracle or you can create your own user-defined fields.

2. Selecting the forms to include in the candidate file. You can modify existing forms or create user-defined forms from scratch.

3. Creating the Create Candidate file.
4. Selecting the situation when the file will be used.
5. Associating the candidate file to a staffing type.
6. Associating the create candidate file to configuration profiles.

7. Granting the Create candidates permission (SmartOrg Administration > User Types > Recruiting > Candidates). When the permission is granted, the Create Candidate action is available in the Recruiting Center.

8. Granting the Attach a file (general) and Attach a file (on preselected candidates) permissions (SmartOrg Administration > User Types > Recruiting > Candidates). Users must have the "Attach a file (general)" and "Attach a file (on preselected candidates)" permissions for the resume parsing option to work properly when creating a candidate.
