Career Section Sequence

The system searches the career sections in the order you configured (see the Sequence column of the Career Sections list) in determining to which career section candidates coming from a job specific URL (from a job board, a job posting notification, etc.) will be redirected.

To put this another way, when a candidate is coming from a job specific URL (from a job board, a job posting notification, etc.), the system has to redirect the candidate to a career section. The system evaluates which career section is the most appropriate one, first evaluating the career section that has the lowest sequence number before evaluating the career section that has the next lowest sequence number and so forth.

When a career section is created, it is automatically assigned the highest number of the sequence.

  • For internal candidates, the system redirects the candidates to internal career sections first, going from lowest sequence number to the highest one.

  • For external candidate, the system redirects the candidates to external career sections, going from the lowest sequence number to the highest sequence number.

System administrators can change the sequence i.e. change the order in which the career sections are chosen by the system.

The sequence is also used in the candidate sourcing manager to sort the career section display in the posting page. Career sections are displayed on this page based on this sequence, all external sites being grouped first, followed by all internal career sites.

The career section sequence defined in the Career Section Reorder page is used when a message must be sent to a candidate and the system needs to find the career section where a job is posted. Suppose, for example, that the sequence of career sections is:

  • 1- Internal (1) - (Internal)

  • 2- Corporate - (External)

  • 3- Career Fair - (External)

  • 4- Students - (External)

  • 5- Test - (External)

If an external career section is needed, the system first looks for the "2 - Corporate" career section. If the job is not posted on this career section, the system looks for the "3 - Career Fair", then the "4 - Students", etc.
