New User Registration Using Third-party Credentials

Visitors to a career section can register (create) a Career Section account (i.e. candidate profile) using third-party credentials such as Google.

Visitors to career sections who click the New User button will be able to create a candidate profile in the same manner, using third-party credentials such as Google, from the New User Registration page. It is an Oracle Taleo best practice to activate this feature, especially in external career sections because it is a great time-saver for candidates.

If the third-party credentials are not linked to a candidate profile in the Taleo customer's career sections, the system verifies if the email address from the third-party application is an email address or user name in a candidate profile in the customer's career sections.

If no duplicate email address is found, the system creates a candidate profile in the career section automatically, using the email address (from the third-party login process) as the user name and generating a password that conforms to the security policies configured for the career section. If a security question was enabled for candidate profiles, the candidate is asked to provide this information.

If a duplicate email address is found in a candidate profile, the system displays the login page from which candidates can log into their account in the Career Section. Visitors select one of two options:

  • If candidates select "Yes, I have a Candidate Profile and I would like to associate it to my single sign-on", the third-party account credentials are linked to the candidate profile in the career section. This option enables candidates to later sign into the career section directly (provided the candidates selected "Keep me logged in" or similar setting in the third-party product) by simply clicking the third-party icon on the career section.

  • Candidates can choose to create a candidate profile. Thereafter, the third-party account credentials are linked to the new candidate profile in the career section and the candidates can sign into the career section directly (provided the candidates selected "Keep me logged in" or similar setting in the third-party product) by simply clicking the third-party icon on the career section.
