Profile Information Imported from Indeed

Candidates applying for a job or completing their candidate profile on career sections powered by Oracle Taleo can import information they created at Indeed, a search engine for job listings.

Indeed is a single-topic search engine for job listings, a type of vertical search. The Web site aggregates job listings from thousands of Web site including job boards, staffing firms, associations and company career pages. Job seekers can apply directly to jobs on Indeed's site. Indeed also offers resume posting and storage.

The ability to import profile information from Indeed applies to cases where Career Section administrators added the Resume Upload block to candidate profile flows or job submission flows. When candidates reach the Resume Parsing Profile Upload page in a flow, they click the radio button next to the Indeed icon and enter their Indeed login information in the window that appears.

The profile information in Indeed is entered automatically in the corresponding fields in the candidate profile flow or job submission flow. The Indeed session is terminated automatically and the candidates can enter any other information requested in the flow.

Data from Indeed is placed into the following standard fields in Oracle Taleo:

• First and last name

• City and country of residence

• Summary statement

• Additional information

• Custom URLs

• URL to the Indeed profile

• Work experience: Other Employer, Other Job Field, Start Date, End Date, Achievements

• Education: Other Institution, Other Program, City, Start Date, Graduation Date

• Certifications: certification names, dates

Note: Indeed does not offer an integration functionality that would enable file attachments to be imported into the Oracle Taleo system.

Configuration

Steps 1, 2 and 3 can be performed in any order.

1. Career Section administrators must add the Resume Upload block to the general profile flows or job submission flows on which they want the Indeed icon to be displayed.

2. The administrators can include the Additional Information block as well because it also contains fields that can be populated by information imported from Indeed.

3. The administrators can add the Website Address field to Candidate Personal Information forms because the field can be filled by information imported from Indeed.

4. A "token" and "secret" from Indeed are required. See Registering With Indeed.

5. The administrators enter the "token" and "secret" into the Taleo system (Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > [Integration] Profile Import > Indeed > Edit). See Enabling Indeed Apply.
