Job Application Flow: Example

Example of what a job application flow aligned with accessibility guidelines could look like.

Use Basic Search

Use Basic Search to provide an accessible experience for users using assistive technology. This will provide candidates the ability to search for jobs, review the results page, and navigate into job details.

With Basic Search, candidates can search for jobs using criteria such as the job number, the job field, the location, review the results page, and view job details. For details about Basic Search, see Career Portal Pages.

View Job Details and Apply for Job

Candidates can view job details and apply for the job. When candidates apply for a job, they enter the job application flow and go through a sequence of pages that they must complete.

Configure Job Application Flow

Configure the job application flow to include these key sections:

  • Profile Upload

  • Candidate Personal Information

  • Education

  • Work Experience

  • E-Signature

  • Review and Submit

The Profile Upload page enables candidates to import their resume into the career section. If a resume is selected, the system parses the resume into available fields. If LinkedIn and Indeed profile import options are configured, candidates can import information that they have stored on their external social profiles into the job application flow.

Note: Third party service providers such as LinkedIn or Indeed are not owned by Oracle. Any issues with the services provided must be logged and worked through with these third party service providers.

The Candidate Personal Information page enables candidates to provide their personal information data. The information typically collected in this page includes:

  • First name and last name

  • Address

  • Phone number

  • Email address

The Education page enables candidates to provide education information. The information collected in this page includes:

  • Institution

  • Program / Major

  • Education level (e.g., Master, PhD)

  • Start date and end date

The Work Experience page enables candidates to provide their work experience. Candidates can add more employers as necessary. The information collected in this page includes:

  • Employer

  • Job function

  • Start date and end date

The E-Signature page enables candidates to validate that they agree to the privacy policy of the employer. Candidates must sign their name and enter an additional piece of information such as the zip code to sign the agreement.

The Review and Submit page enables candidates to review and validate the information they submitted. Candidates can edit and update the information as necessary.

The last page on the job application flow is the Thank You page. This page confirms that the information provided by the candidate was submitted.
