Social Job Invite
Candidates can easily share jobs via a social network or email.
The Social Job Invite feature is available in the career sections and in the recruiting requisition Posting and Sourcing tab. For more information about using this feature in recruiting see the Social Job Invite feature in the Taleo Recruiting 11A Release Notes. The Social Job Invite feature replaces the Send this Job to a Friend feature in the career section. Candidates have the option to select one of many social job sites or email options to send the job to someone in their friend network list, or to simply post on their wall. For a list of available services view TLEO_SourceListforSocialMedia_enUS.xlsx in the Taleo Knowledge Exchange.
The Social Job Invite feature is available on the following portal pages:

The system will create a URL link back to the first posted external career section Job Description page for the requisition being shared (the career section selected will not necessarily be the career section where the candidate is, unless that is the first posted external career section). The job reference URL will also have the source name embedded in it. When a candidate selects the link to apply, if the source in the URL matches the source name of an active source of type Social Network that is part of the requisition source list then that will be the source that is defaulted into the submission. If the source is not found in the requisition source list, then the system will select the source "Other" under the Social Network source type, as long as that source is part of the requisition source list. If that source is also not in the requisition source list, then no source will default in.
The system will create a URL link back to the first posted, external, career section job description page for the requisition being shared. The job reference URL will also have the source name embedded in it (the career section selected will not necessarily be the career section where the candidate is, unless that is the first posted external career section.). When the candidate selects the link to apply, if the Source in the URL matches the source name of an active source, of type 'Social Network', that is part of the requisition source list, then that will be the source that is defaulted into the submission. If the source is not found in the requisition source list, then the system will select the source 'Other' under the Source Type – 'Social Network', as long as that source is part of the requisition source list. If that source is also not in the requisition source list, then no source will auto-fill.
If the job becomes unposted from the career section used in the URL before the candidate selects the link, the standard 'Job is no longer available' message will be displayed.
Additional Sources can be added to support more details in the source tracking in Recruiting Administration. Sources must be created under the Social Network source type.
When a candidates choose to share jobs through social networks they must be logged in, or have a valid user account to log in to the third party sites and share.
