Job Description Redirect URL

Candidates coming from job boards or who click the link to a job in email correspondence can be redirected to Taleo Sourcing or other product (instead of a "standard" career section) and can view the job description there.

Some organizations use Taleo Sourcing or other products as their job search page while using Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition Career Section for the application process.

Career Section administrators can specify an alternate URL that will enable candidates coming from job boards or links in emails to view the job description hosted on Taleo Social Sourcing (or other product).

How does this work? Suppose the following URL is for a job description at an organization's career section is

https: //zone.taleo.net/careersection/cscode/jobdetail.ftl?job=1400123&lang=en&src=linkedin

In the previous URL, "cscode" is the code of the career section, "1400123" is the requisition number and "en" is the language (English) of the job description. Suppose also that the value of the new setting, Job Description redirect URL, is

https: //pm.referrals.selectminds.com/

The Taleo system would replace the "https://zone.taleo.net/careersection/CSCODE/" portion or the original with the value populated in the Job Description redirect URL setting. The two components would be combined to form

https: //pm.referrals.selectminds.com/job=1400123&lang=en&src=linkedin

This new URL enables Taleo Social Sourcing (or other product) to display the job description even though the candidate clicked the URL to the standard career section. Other customer systems using this feature will have to parse the concatenated URLs. If no language is specified (lang=), the system will use the base language of the requisition. If no source tracking is specified (src=), it is omitted in the concatenated URL. If the parameters are not in the correct order, the Taleo system will rearrange them into the correct order. This setting is unilingual because language management is managed by the URL.
