Feature Summary

Column Definitions:

Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.

UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.

UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

Ready for Use by End Users
(Feature Delivered Enabled)

Reports plus Small Scale UI or Process-Based new features will have minimal user impact after an update. Therefore, customer acceptance testing should focus on the Larger Scale UI or Process-Based* new features.

Customer Must Take Action before Use by End Users
(Feature Delivered Disabled)

Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing.

Prefill Prescreening Questionnaire While Creating a Job Application on Behalf of a Candidate

Recruiting

Recruiting

Oracle Recruiting Cloud provides tools for hiring managers and recruiters to source and nurture candidates, create and manage job requisitions, screen and select candidates, create and manage job offers, and onboard new employees into the organization. It also provides career sites for employees and external candidates to search, discover and apply to jobs using a frictionless application process.

Prefill Prescreening Questionnaire While Creating a Job Application on Behalf of a Candidate

When you add a candidate to a job requisition and select the option to create the job application on behalf of a candidate, the prescreening questionnaire is now automatically filled. When a question from a prescreening questionnaire has been answered previously, the latest answer to the question is retrieved and added to the job application.

This enhancement applies to both external and internal candidates as long as all required questions have been previously answered. It also applies to all types of questions: disqualification questions, prescreening questions added automatically and manually.

With this enhancement, candidates being added to job requisitions will have their questionnaires prefilled, allowing you to have better candidate evaluations. This is also useful when you add a candidate to job requisitions that are similar to one the candidate already applied to.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Recruiting

Recruiting

Oracle Recruiting Cloud provides tools for hiring managers and recruiters to source and nurture candidates, create and manage job requisitions, screen and select candidates, create and manage job offers, and onboard new employees into the organization. It also provides career sites for employees and external candidates to search, discover and apply to jobs using a frictionless application process.

Oracle Search Within Recruiting List of Values

You can take advantage of Oracle Search in Recruiting for the following list of values:

  • Positions
  • Jobs
  • Locations
  • Departments

The feature ensures the use of Oracle Search to retrieve the list of values for Positions, Jobs, Locations, Departments. There are no visible changes in the pages unless Design Studio is used to configure the changes. For details, refer to the Steps to Enable section.

With Oracle Search, your search experience is enhanced by delivering fast and better quality results.

Steps to Enable

First, make sure Oracle Search is properly set up. For details, see Set Up Oracle Search for HCM.

Then, review and enable these Oracle Search profile options:

  • ORA_PER_ORACLE_SEARCH_POSITIONSLOV_ENABLED
  • ORA_PER_ORACLE_SEARCH_DEPARTMENTSLOV_ENABLED
  • ORA_PER_ORACLE_SEARCH_JOBSLOV_ENABLED
  • ORA_PER_ORACLE_SEARCH_LOCATIONSLOV_ENABLED

  2. Click Search.
  3. Search for the task Manage Administrator Profile Values.
  4. Click the task name.
  5. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for the profile option codes mentioned above.
  6. Set the profile value to "Y" at the Site level.
  7. Click Save and Close.

The feature ensures the use of Oracle Search to retrieve the list of values for Positions, Jobs, Locations, Departments. There are no visible changes in the page unless Design Studio is used to configure the changes. For details, see the topic How You Configure List of Values (LOVs) in the Using Common Features for HCM, on Oracle Help Center.

Recruiting Feature Configuration Report

As an administrator, you can use the new Recruiting feature configuration report to review the features that are enabled, their associated settings, the profile options to enable the features and the value of these profile options, and metrics on the required processes scheduled in the customer's environment.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
    • Task: Recruiting Feature Configuration Report
  2. On the Recruiting Features Configuration Report page, select a functional area and a release version.
  • The Functional Area menu is populated with all the features available in the environment. If you select Base Features, key features available prior to release 20B are selected. If you select All Features, you will get the base features plus features available for individual releases.
  • For the Release Version menu, if you select Base, releases available prior to release 20B are selected. If you select All, you will get the base releases plus individual releases.

When you select Base Features or All Features in the Functional Area menu, the Release Version menu is empty. Release Version isn't supported for these use cases.

  1. Click Create Report.

Recruiting Features Configuration Report Page

The report is generated and available in a downloadable PDF format.

Report on Features 

Report on Scheduled Processes

The benefits of this feature are:

  • Quick analytical view to understand the Recruiting features enabled in your environment out of available features.
  • Tracking the configuration progress during implementation.
  • Smooth transition of configuration ownership from system implementation partner to your administrator during sustenance phase.
  • Track and report the progress of new features addition on a periodic basis.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

  • Base features only include key features and not all the features released prior to 20B.
  • The feature usage column is a variable column populated only for specific features; its value will vary depending on the feature.

Candidate Experience
Diversity and Disability Questions

Take advantage of the improved usability of diversity and disability blocks in external application flows. If a job is posted to multiple countries with different setups for diversity and disability questions, now those blocks are visible to candidates as collapsed accordion elements.

Country Sections Collapsed

Candidates click the appropriate country to expand the section, and then provide the required information. When diversity info is pre-filled for the candidate or some of the information is required, the section is automatically expanded.

Country Sections Expanded

This feature improves candidates' ability to complete appropriate information, because it expands only the sections that apply to them.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Explore Jobs Using Oracle Maps

Candidates can search for jobs using either a list view, or by viewing their locations via Oracle Maps. By default, job search results appear in a list. You can enable a setting that lets candidates toggle between the list and map view. 

New Toggle

Listings initially display in list view. Clicking the location icon changes the view from list to map.

Map View

There are two kinds of icons:

  • Pin - indicates a single location with one or more jobs.
  • Circle - indicates a cluster of job locations in an area. Clicking this icon zooms in to map location and may reveal several job locations that are near each other.

Click a circle (cluster) icon to zoom in to that location to see the job locations on the map.

Zoom In to a Cluster

Click a pin to display the available jobs at a location.

Available Jobs

Click a job title to display the job details page. Candidates can scroll down on the page to see the map.

Copy Location to Clipboard

You can optionally copy the job location address to your clipboard and paste it in a browser search bar to search for additional information about the job location.

There are also two new selections in the Display Style drop-down list for custom search pages that let you display or hide a toggle. The toggle lets users switch between the map and tile view, or map and list view.

New Options for Display Style

Toggle Map and List is available automatically selected for the default search page and for new custom search pages created after this release.

If you created custom search pages prior to this release,  you'll need to edit those pages and select the appropriate toggle display style from the drop-down.

Using Oracle maps gives candidates an easy visual way to explore jobs, and it's included in your Recruiting license with no additional costs.

Steps to Enable

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Candidate Experience
    • Task: Career Sites Configuration
  2. Click the action icon next to a career site, and select Edit.
  3. On the General tab, scroll down and expand the Search Jobs on Map section.

Search Jobs on a Map

  1. Select the Enable searching job on map check box.

Tips And Considerations

  • If you're already using Google Maps or Bing Maps for job-based search in Candidate Experience, the maps will be replaced with Oracle Maps with 23D.
  • Currently, if you want to use maps for job-based search, you need to activate the feature. In 24A, this feature will be activated by default for everyone.

Expose More Requisition Fields to External Candidates

Display more requisition fields on external career sites. The list of fields that can be exposed in job details pages has been expanded to include the following:

  • Other Requisition Title 

  • Number of openings / Unlimited Openings 

  • Hiring Manager Organization 

  • Job Function 

  • Worker Type 

  • Regular or Temporary 

  • Management Level 

  • Job Type 

  • Domestic Travel Required 

  • International Travel Required 

  • Work Duration Months 

  • Work Duration Years 

  • Work Hours 

  • Work Days 

  • Name of External Contact 

  • Email of External Contact

  • Legal Employer

  • Business Unit 

  • Department 

  • Grade

This feature lets you expose relevant search filters on career sites so candidates can easily find jobs they want to apply to.

Steps to Enable

The new fields are disabled by default. To enable them:

  1. Open a career site.
  2. Click the Pages tab.
  3. Add a new or edit an existing job details page.
  4. Scroll down to the Job Info section and click it.
  5. Scroll down to view the Additional Information Displayed section.

Additional Information Displayed

  1. Click in the field to open the selection list where you'll find the new fields.

The sequence in which you add  the fields determines the sequence in which they'll display on the job details page.

New Fields

  1. Select the items you want, and then click Done. The fields now display on the Job Details page.

New Fields Added to the Job Details Page

Key Resources

For instructions on creating a job details page, refer to the following topic in the Implementing Recruiting guide, on Oracle Help Center:

Improved Navigation on the Career Site

Give your external candidates an improved navigation experience. When external candidates visit job pages from an external source, they're now shown a full view of the job details page.

In addition, there is now a View More Jobs link on the page. When candidates click it, they're taken to your career site's job search page.

New View More Jobs Link

This link is available only when external candidates visit job pages from an external source, such as through a campaign or refer a candidate email.

This feature improves performance and gives your external candidates an easy way to access other jobs on your career site.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Support Synonyms in Candidate Experience Keyword Search

You can enhance the keyword search experience in external career sites by allowing candidates to use common synonyms and abbreviations. For example if users search using terms such as "Sr" results will be returned using the word "senior". Searching for "product owner" also returns "product manager" in the results.

You can upload and download synonyms and abbreviations to be used by candidates with the keyword search experience in external career sites. Initially, you're provided with a list of some common synonyms, but you can also add your own. You can add multiple languages to the file. The following languages are supported for this release:

  • English
  • Spanish
  • French
  • Arabic
  • German

This enhancement makes it easier for candidates to find a job they want to apply to, because more relevant search results will be returned.

Steps to Enable

Support for synonyms is automatically enabled, and a default list of synonyms is provided in Setup and Maintenance. If you want to update this default list, you can download, edit, and re-upload the file.

Before you can use the feature:

  • Oracle Search must be enabled. If Oracle Search isn't enabled, or synonyms are disabled using profile option, then the Configure Synonyms section in Setup and Maintenance is enabled, but uploading a file won't have any effect.
  • Files must be zipped CSV-UTF8.

To download a synonym list:

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Maintenance
    • Task: Enterprise Recruiting and Candidate Experience Information
  2. Scroll down and expand the Configure Synonym section.

Download Latest File

Notice that you can see when the synonym file was last updated, and a link to download a copy to work with. In the example above, the file is listed as "From Seed Data" which means it's never been updated, and is the version that was provided by Oracle.

  1. Click Download Latest Synonyms Definition File, and save the file to a location on your hard drive or network. The downloaded file is an unzipped CSV file.
  2. Open the CSV file.

Synonym CSV File

Each row in the file represents one instance of synonyms. Column A lists the words and phrases that mean the same thing; for example "recruiter, recruiting specialist, talent acquisition specialist => recruiter, recruiting specialist, talent acquisition specialist". You'll notice the words in the synonym column appear twice, but the instances are separated by an arrow (=>). In the seeded file, the words and phrases on both sides of an arrow are the same. This means that when a candidate searches using one of the listed phrases, all of listed synonyms are searched.

Similarly, when you add more words or phrases to a row in Column A, you'll need to use the same words on either side of the arrow, and ensure that they're spelled the same way. If you don't, candidates might not see all of the results you want them to see. For example, if you add a row containing "product manager => product owner", candidates searching for “product manager” might end up getting only “product owner” results, even though you may have jobs using both names. Instead you should add "product manager, product owner => product manager, product owner".

Column B lists the language codes. They define the language for a synonym row. The synonyms from each row will only be used in sites that use that language. You can only add one language per row. The following language codes must be used for the supported languages:

  • English - en
  • Spanish - es
  • French - fr
  • Arabic - ar
  • German - de
  1. Update the file as necessary and save it. 

You can only upload .zip files so you'll need to zip your saved CSV file before uploading it to Recruiting.

To upload a synonym list:

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Maintenance
    • Task: Enterprise Recruiting and Candidate Experience Information

Configure Synonyms

  1. Scroll down and expand the Configure Synonym section and click Edit.

  2. Click Click Here to Upload, or use the drag-and-drop functionality to drag the zipped CSV file to the upload area.

Tips And Considerations

  • Synonyms are checked against the requisition title, job function, and job family, but not the description. This means if a candidate searches for "Product Owner" and a job has "Product Manager" in the description (but not in the title, function, or family), that job won't be returned in the search results.
  • Synonyms file can't contain a "?" character.
  • Open and inspect your files before uploading, especially if the file contains languages other than English. Check for special characters. If there are any, it means the file isn't saved correctly in a UTF-8 format.

Key Resources

Instructions for creating CSV-UTF8 files can be found online.

Candidate Interviews
Access Type Configuration for Microsoft 365 Integration for Interview Management

Configure the Microsoft 365 integration used for interview management to access the Microsoft 365 information using a single user, providing more control on which information can be accessed.

The implementation of the Microsoft 365 integration is done through the Microsoft Graph API. In previous releases, the integration required broad access rights (User.ReadAll and Calendar.ReadWrite) to perform its operations for all users. The new configuration allows configuring the integration to use a single user to access the Microsoft 365 information, which requires fewer access rights to be granted (only Calendar.ReadWrite). Configuring the integration this way means that all operations are performed using this user, and that all Microsoft 365 interview meetings will be created by this user (this user will be visible as being the meeting organizer in the Microsoft 365 meetings) since the integration can' access other accounts.

A new Access Type field is available when configuring the Microsoft Graph Integration. Two values are available: All Users and Single User.

When All Users is selected:

  • The option provides the same behavior as in previous releases.

When Single User is selected:

  • Users can’t select a meeting host when using the Teams integration. The Meeting Host field isn’t available. The default user configured in the integration is used as the meeting host.
  • Users can’t respond to interviews. When an interviewer views the Interview Details page for an interview, they can’t accept, decline, or propose a new time for the interview. Note that responses provided in O365 will continue to be displayed in Recruiting. 
  • Users can create interviews without receiving an O365 calendar event for this interview. The interview creator receives an O365 calendar event for an interview only if the interview creator is also an interviewer.

For both access types, in all internal notifications related to specific interviews, you can include the name of the interview creator using the token ${InterviewCreatorDisplayName}. The display name of the interview creator is displayed.

Example of an Interview Schedule

With this feature, you can minimize the access rights granted for the Microsoft 365 integration to alleviate security concerns from your organization.

Steps to Enable

When you configure the Microsoft Graph Integration, you can now select the security model to use for the integration. A new Access Type field is available.

Changing the access type configuration will prevent the integration from updating past interviews in O365. Since these calendar events were created by another user, the integration won't be able to update them. The interview will be updated correctly in Recruiting, but will remain the same in O365.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
    • Task: Enterprise Recruiting and Candidate Experience Information
  2. Expand the Microsoft Graph Integration section and click Edit.
  3. Select a value in the Access Type field.
    • All Users: This is the default value. The feature behaves as in previous releases. When you select All Users, the Default User Identifier field is an optional field.
    • Single User: This is the restricted mode. When you select Single User, the Default User Identifier field is required and you need to provide a value.
  4. Click Validate Integration.
  5. Click Save.

Access Type Field for the Microsoft Graph Integration

Additional Interview Slots Request From Candidates

When candidates are on a career site and access the page allowing to schedule an interview, they can now click a link to request additional interview slots. The new link is always available regardless if interview slots are proposed to candidates.

Request Additional Interview Slots Link on a Career Site

Before candidates submit their request, they need to provide some text explaining their request.

Request Additional Interview Slots Window

When the request is submitted, a notification is sent to the interview schedule owner. A new notification is available in Alerts Composer:

  • Additional Interview Slots Request from Candidate (IRC_Intrv_Candidate_Request_More_Slots)

By default, the schedule owner is the recipient of the notification. However, you can change the recipient by adding the recruiter and the hiring manager of the requisition. You can also change the content and formatting of the notification. The schedule owner who receives the notification can review the comments provided by the candidate and act as needed. For instance, add more interview slots, schedule an interview manually, ask interviewers to free up their calendar.

The notification may contain the following tokens. These tokens are replaced by a value only if the interview invitation is sent for an interview schedule where the setting "Candidates schedule based on interviewers' availability" is selected. In other situations, it's not possible to determine a value for these tokens.

  • InterviewSchedulingInterviewerName
  • InterviewSchedulingInterviewMeetingDuration

When the tokens are used, the value can be different for all slots on the schedule, making it impossible to determine the value. This is why a condition is included in the notification to display these values and their labels only when the "Candidates schedule based on interviewers' availability" setting is selected on the interview schedule. This is done using the following condition:

<% if (InterviewSchedulingUseInterviewerAvailability== "Y") print("Interviewers: " + InterviewSchedulingInterviewerName); %><% if (InterviewSchedulingUseInterviewerAvailability== "Y")print("Meeting duration: " + InterviewSchedulingInterviewMeetingDuration); %>

With this enhancement, candidates can request more time slots directly from within the scheduling page. They no longer need to reply to the email they received to schedule an interview.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

This enhancement is available for both external and internal candidates.

For details on interview slots, refer to this topic:

Prevent Candidate From Scheduling Interview When Application is Rejected or Withdrawn

When candidates receive an interview invitation but later their job application is moved to the Rejected by Employer or Withdrawn by Candidate state, candidates can no longer schedule an interview using the link they received earlier.

This doesn't impact interviews that are already scheduled. It only prevents a candidate from self-scheduling an interview (when they haven't scheduled one yet).

With this enhancement, interview invitations are automatically rescinded when moving job applications to an inactive state.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Zoom Meetings in Interview Scheduling

As a recruiter, you can use the Zoom integration to generate web conference links for interviews.

Before you can use Zoom for interviews, you need to provide your authorization to be added as a meeting host for interviews scheduled with Zoom. A new quick action is available under Me > Hiring: Authorize Zoom Integration for Interviews.

NOTE: For the quick action to be available, your administrator must enable and configure the zoom integration, and users need the privilege Access Zoom Authorization Page for Interviews (IRC_ACCESS_ZOOM_AUTHORIZATION_PAGE_FOR_INTERVIEWS_PRIV).

Quick Action Authorize Zoom Integration for Interviews

Quick Action Authorize Zoom Integration for Interviews

Page to Authorize Zoom Integration for Interviews

Page to Authorize Zoom Integration for Interviews

Zoom is available on:

  • Interview schedules
  • Interview schedule templates
  • When creating interviews
  • When creating interview slots on a candidate managed schedule

For example, when you create an interview schedule, you can select Zoom to be used on interviews for this schedule. In the Location Details section, if you select the Web Conference format, a new option is available: Use Zoom integration.

When you select this option, you need to define the meeting host. This is the person whose Zoom account is used to generate the Zoom link. You can select a specific person or a member of the hiring team (recruiter, hiring manager, collaborator). Selecting a hiring team member type is only available on interview schedule templates and interview schedules. When you select a person, you'll get an error message if the person you selected didn't authorize the Zoom integration. If you select yourself as the meeting host, you'll be offered to authorize the Zoom integration if it's not already authorized. If that's the case, you'll be able to do it right on the page without needing to access the Zoom authorization quick action.

NOTE: The other fields related to Web Conference are disabled when the Zoom integration is selected: Phone, Web Conference Link, Access Code.

When you save an interview schedule for the first time, the schedule owner (the current user creating the schedule) is asked to authorize the Zoom integration if not already done. That's because in some situations it's possible to have a meeting host who hasn't provided the Zoom authorization. When that happens, the schedule owner is used as the meeting host instead.

Selecting Zoom When Creating an Interview Schedule

Selecting Zoom When Creating an Interview Schedule

The Zoom meeting is created according to the Zoom profile settings of the user being the meeting host. However, a new Zoom Meeting ID is generated automatically for each interview, even if the meeting host's profile is set to use its personal meeting ID.

When changes occur on a scheduled interview, the associated Zoom meeting is updated accordingly. For example, if you reschedule an interview, the Zoom meeting is updated accordingly. If you cancel the interview, the Zoom meeting is canceled as well.

When a Zoom link needs to be generated, updated, or deleted but can’t because of a Zoom API error (usage limit or other), the following will happen:

  • The interview action is performed as usual but the Web Conference URL is replaced by a message indicating to contact the recruiter.
  • A notification is sent to the meeting host or the schedule owner, letting them know about the problem.

With this feature, you can have the Zoom meeting URL generated automatically, instead of having to manually provide a web conference link.

Steps to Enable

You first need to create the Zoom application on the Zoom App Marketplace web site.

  1. Go to Zoom App Marketplace (https://marketplace.zoom.us/) and sign in using your zoom account.
  2. On the Discover apps page, click the Develop menu, then click Build App.
  3. On the Choose your app type page, click Create in the OAuth section.
  4. On the Create an OAuth app window:
    • Enter an app name. For example, ORC Zoom Integration.
    • Select the option User-managed app.
  5. Click Create.

When the setup is completed, you can make sure the app is activated.

  1. Click the Activation tab on the left.
  2. Ensure that required info has been provided.

Next step is to configure Oracle Recruiting to use Zoom integration.

Tip: You first need to disable the Teams integration. You can only enable one web conference at a time.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
    • Task: Enterprise Recruiting and Candidate Experience Information
  2. Expand the Zoom Integration section and click Edit.
  3. Select Active and enter the Client ID and Client Secret.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Click Edit then click Validate Integration.Click OK when the confirmation message is displayed.
  6. Click Save.

You need to grant the following privilege for users to see and access the quick action Authorize Zoom Integration for Interviews. By default, this privilege isn't granted to users.

  • Name: Access Zoom Authorization Page for Interviews (IRC_ACCESS_ZOOM_AUTHORIZATION_PAGE_FOR_INTERVIEWS_PRIV)

New notifications are available in Alerts Composer:

  • Interview Missing Zoom Link Notification (IRC_Intrv_Zoom_Missing_Link): Notification sent when a Zoom link is missing in an interview.
  • Interview Zoom Meeting Not Canceled Notification (IRC_Intrv_Zoom_Meeting_Not_Canceled): Notification sent when a Zoom meeting can't be canceled for an interview.
  • Notification sent when a Zoom meeting can't be updated (IRC_Intrv_Zoom_Meeting_Not_Updated): Notification sent when a Zoom meeting can't be updated.

Conditional logic used in notifications

In some notifications, there are groovy expressions used to conditionally display content depending on the type of location selected on an interview. The expression has changed with the introduction of the Teams and Zoom integration features. The new expression is:

<% if (InterviewSchedulingLocationTypeCode == "ORA_IS_LOCATION_PHONE") print("Location:" + InterviewSchedulingLocationPhoneNumber); %> <% if (InterviewSchedulingLocationTypeCode == "ORA_IS_LOCATION_WEBCONFERENCE" && InterviewSchedulingOnlineMeetingProvider != "ORA_IS_TEAMS" && InterviewSchedulingOnlineMeetingProvider != "ORA_IS_ZOOM") print("Location:" + InterviewSchedulingLocationWebConferenceLink + " Phone Number: " + InterviewSchedulingLocationPhoneNumber + "  Access Code: " + InterviewSchedulingLocationPhoneNumberPasscode); %> <% if (InterviewSchedulingLocationTypeCode == "ORA_IS_LOCATION_WEBCONFERENCE" && (InterviewSchedulingOnlineMeetingProvider == "ORA_IS_TEAMS" || InterviewSchedulingOnlineMeetingProvider == "ORA_IS_ZOOM")) { print("Location: " + InterviewSchedulingLocationWebConferenceLink); if (InterviewSchedulingLocationPhoneNumberPasscode != null && InterviewSchedulingLocationPhoneNumberPasscode != "") print(" Access Code: " + InterviewSchedulingLocationPhoneNumberPasscode);}%> <% if (InterviewSchedulingLocationTypeCode == "ORA_IS_LOCATION_IN_PERSON") print("Location: " + InterviewSchedulingLocationSingleLineAddress);%>

Tips And Considerations

Zoom meeting is available for both candidate managed and hiring team managed interview schedules.

You can only enable one web conference integration at a time. For example, you can’t enable the Teams integration if the Zoom integration is already enabled.

A deep link is available to access the Zoom authorization page. You can use it for example to communicate to users they should authorize the Zoom integration, sending them a link directly to the authorization page. The name of the deep link is Authorize Zoom Integration for Interviews.

The Zoom integration makes use of an API provided by Zoom which enforces various usage limits such as the number of requests per user per day, the number of requests per seconds. Details about these limits are available here: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits

When you disable a web conference integration (either Teams or Zoom), you'll get empty location fields on new interviews created for existing schedules using the disabled integration. Since you can't edit the location fields on an existing schedule, you may want to create new schedules with the appropriate location field values. However, note that interviews that were scheduled before disabling the web conference integration will continue to use the Web Conference URL that was already generated.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Job Offers
Revert Candidate Applications to Prior Phase From Offer Phase

You can revert candidate job applications to the prior phase after they reach the Offer phase. This is useful for situations where for example you have erroneously moved the candidate application to the Offer phase, or there is a need to add one more round of interview or complete a compliance check before starting the offer process.

You can use the Return to Prior Phase action for job applications that are in the Offer – Draft status and any terminal states in the Offer phase. This action will take the job applications back to same prior phase and state from where it moved into the offer phase. The Job Offers tab in the job application is no longer displayed. It becomes visible again when you click Create Job Offer and the job application is back in the Offer – Draft status.

Return to Prior Phase Action for Job Application in Offer - Draft Status

Once you’re done with your changes, you use the Move action to move the job application to the Offer – To be Created status.

Move Candidate Action

When you click the Create Job Offer action to work on the job offer which you had started earlier, the job offer will be in the Draft state and you'll be directed to the Create Job Offer page. Data previously entered in the job offer was retained and you can make changes if needed.

With this enhancement, users can revert job applications in a similar way they can move applications from other pre-offer phases. This enhances the user experience significantly as it avoid multiple steps which users would need to take prior to this feature availability. 

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

The Return to Prior Phase action from the Offer phase is controlled by the Move Candidate Job Applications privilege. No new privilege was created.

The Return to Prior Phase action is available for job applications that are in the Offer – Draft status and any terminal states in the Offer phase. For the below phases/states, you’ll need to use the Redraft Offer action to bring the job application to the Offer – Draft status:

  • Offer – Approved
  • Offer – Extended
  • Offer – Accepted
  • Port-Offer custom phase
  • HR phase

Candidate Communications
Delivery Status Indicators for Messages

You can now view the delivery status of SMS messages sent from Recruiting. Depending on the status of the delivery, these indicators appear next to each message in the Messages tab of a candidate’s page: 

  • Sent – Indicates that the message was sent successfully from Recruiting. 
  • Delivered – Indicates that the message reached the candidate’s phone number.
  • Failed – Indicates that the message failed to deliver.

Delivery Status Indicator for Messages

This feature uses the Webhook functionality and is applicable to Twilio and Syniverse service providers only. For other providers, the default status will be Sent.

With this new feature, you can view the delivery status of an SMS message instantaneously from within Recruiting.

Steps to Enable

To use this feature with Twilio and Syniverse service providers, you must configure the Deliver Status Callback Webhook URL in their account. For details, refer to the Candidate Communication technical brief (Doc ID 2968395.1) on My Oracle Support.

For Twilio, you need to use the messaging service SID instead of the “From” phone number to be able to use this feature. You can configure this while adding Twilio as an SMS service provider using the Recruiting Messaging Configuration task.

Key Resources

For more information, refer to this topic in Oracle Help Center: 

Opt out of SMS Communications

Give candidates the flexibility to opt in or opt out of SMS communications. If a candidate wants to stop receiving SMS messages sent by the recruiting team, they can send an SMS with a keyword such as ‘STOP’. If they want to resume receiving messages, they can send an SMS with a ‘START’ keyword or similar.

This feature uses the Webhook functionality and is applicable to Twilio and Syniverse service providers.

These new seeded profile options and values are available in the Settings and Maintenance area:

Profile Option

Default Values

ORA_IRC_CAND_SMS_OPTOUT_PATTERN

STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT

ORA_IRC_CAND_SMS_OPTIN_PATTERN

START, UNSTOP

Note: The keywords sent by the candidate to stop or start receiving messages are validated against these profile values. If the service provider has configured an opt-out management feature, the keywords are validated against it. It’s recommended that the keywords specified in the opt-out management feature match these profile values.

Here are a few things to note when a candidate opts out of SMS messages:

  • SMS is removed as the preferred communication channel. The Compose button is disabled in the Messages section in Recruiting.
  • If the candidate’s email is verified, it’s automatically set as their preferred communication channel. The candidate is also notified about the change using this template from the Recruiting Content Library:
    • Category: Candidate Profile Notification
    • Content Item Name: Email Notification to Candidate for Updated Communication Channel
    • Code: SMS_OPTOUT_CAND_COMM_PREF_UPD

Note: When the candidate opts into SMS communications again, SMS is set as their preferred communication channel along with email.

  • If the candidate’s email isn’t present or verified, the hiring team won’t be able to send any communications from Recruiting. They can, however, call them for any urgent communications. When the candidate opts into SMS communications again, SMS is set as their preferred communication channel.

This feature gives candidates the flexibility to stop or start receiving SMS messages at any time based on their preferences.

Steps to Enable

To use this feature, you must configure the Webhook URL in the service provider’s account. You can also configure the opt-out management feature in Twilio. For details, refer to the Candidate Communication technical brief (Doc ID 2968395.1) on My Oracle Support.

Recruiting Assistant
Search for Jobs Using QR Codes

Candidates can now scan a QR code to view the jobs they want to apply for.

The recruiting team generates a QR code for a specific set of jobs and publishes it. When the candidate scans the QR code, the Candidate Experience page opens in the browser, with the Recruiting Assistant displaying the list of jobs that pertain to the QR code. Candidates can then browse through those jobs and apply to the ones they’re interested in. 

Jobs Displayed Based on QR Code

Two-Way Communication
Notify Hiring Team of Candidate Replies to Auto-Generated Emails

Hiring team members are now notified through email when candidates reply to an auto-generated email sent from Recruiting. For example, when candidates apply to a job, they receive an email that acknowledges their job application. This email is usually sent from a vanity email ID that’s set up in Recruiting. Candidates can reply to this email, and when they do so, hiring team members receive an email notification.

The recruiter and hiring manager on the job requisition are notified when a candidate replies to an email related to a job application, prospect, or referral. For emails related to candidate pools, the pool owner is notified.

In addition to receiving an email notification, the hiring team can view the reply from the candidate in the Messages tab of a job requisition. They need to select the option, With Candidate for This Application, from the drop-down list in the Emails section.

Candidates can take advantage of this feature by emailing the hiring team with their queries or concerns, if any. Since hiring team members are immediately notified about it through email, it enables them to respond faster.

Tips And Considerations

  • You need to run the scheduled process, Process Recruiting Inbound Messages, to deliver incoming emails from candidates to the hiring team. It’s recommended that you run this process every 15 minutes.
  • Please note that when a candidate replies to an auto-generated email sent from a no reply email ID, hiring team members won’t be notified. In the content library, when the Capture Message check box is disabled for an automated notification, the email will be sent through the no reply email ID. If this check box is enabled, then emails are sent from the vanity email ID, and hiring team members are notified of any candidate replies.
  • Emails related to job alerts, campaigns, or candidate verifications containing the PIN number are usually sent through the no reply email ID. If candidates reply to them, hiring team members won’t be notified.

IMPORTANT Actions and Considerations for Recruiting

REPLACED OR REMOVED FEATURES

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing Cloud service features with new features or removes existing features. When a feature is replaced the older version may be removed immediately or at a future time. As a best practice, you should use the newer version of a replaced feature as soon as the newer version is available.
