Social Job Invite - Sharing Jobs with Social Network or Email

Ability for both candidates and users to easily share jobs via their social network or by email.

The Social Job Invite feature is available in the Career Sections and in the requisition Posting and Sourcing tab.

This feature is not part of the Taleo Anywhere solution. It does not replace the RSS & Facebook feature which allows the sending of jobs by creating a search query.

Career Section

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.

The Social Job Invite feature is available on the customer's Career Sections, in the following portal pages:

  • Job List

  • Personalized Job List

  • Job Description

  • Basic Search

  • Advanced Search

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 pre-filled into the submission. If the source is not found in the requisition source list, then the system will pre-fill 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 be pre-filled.

If the job is unposted from the Career Section used in the URL before the candidate selects the link, the standard message indicating that the job is no longer available 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. The source name must equal the source name in the provided list. The source name is not case sensitive.

When 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.

Requisition Posting and Sourcing tab

A Share link is available in the requisition Posting and Sourcing tab. This option is only available when a job is posted to an external Career Section.

The system will create a URL link back to the first posted external Career Section Job Description page for that requisition. If the job becomes unposted from the Career Section used in the URL before candidates select the link, they will receive the standard "Job is no longer available" message.

There is no way to unpost a requisition from the Social Network sites. There is no history tracking when requisitions are posted using the Share option

When linking to a social job site, this feature will link to the social site the user is already logged onto, and not something that can be controlled in Oracle. Therefore, the user, if wanting to post to the company fan page/account, will need to log into that social site using the company credentials.
