Meeting Scheduling Sharing Mode Indicates how the candidate file and requisition file are shared with attendees in scheduling interviews.

Possible values for this settings are:

  • Via Taleo eShare Center: candidate and requisition files (if included) and any candidate attachments are linked in the eShare Center.

  • Via email: candidate and requisition files (if included) and any candidate attachments are included in the message as attached files.

All interviewers receive the same candidate and requisition file view, regardless of the value selected for the Meeting Scheduling Sharing Mode setting or permissions to view information in the system. As a rule, sections in the file are those the user sending the request is authorized to see, sections include General and Restricted fields (never Confidential fields), the Compensation block is never included in the requisition file, and Regulations and Screening Services blocks are never included in the candidate file. All recipients, including the candidate, will get the same email message. In the message body, tokens for Restricted and General fields are resolved (Confidential fields are never resolved). Any files attached directly to the message template are sent via email, regardless of the value selected for the Meeting Scheduling Sharing Mode setting. Candidates will never receive either the attached files or an eShare link, regardless of the value selected for the Meeting Scheduling Sharing Mode setting. A user can be selected as an interviewer and receive related requisition and candidate information even if he/she cannot access such information in the system.

Via Taleo eShare Center Configuration > [Recruiting] Settings
Share Other Attachments When enabled, users will be able to include "other attachments" in the "Candidate Share" or "Interview Request" actions. "Other attachments" equates to any attachment not directly related to the job submission from which the action is being taken as well as all attachments when sharing from the candidate general profile.

All candidate facing and non-candidate facing attachments linked directly to the job submission are included. Candidate facing "other" attachments are also included, unless the setting Share Other Attachments is set to No.
