Talent Acquisition Manager Overview

Talent Acquisition Manager is a complete, integrated system that enables organizations to effectively manage workforce acquisition across all employment categories. Whether you have a few resumes to fill hard-to-find positions or you have plenty of resumes but top candidates are scarce, Talent Acquisition Manager is ideally suited to meet your needs in any type of hiring conditions. Streams of applicants can be screened, interviewed, and hired quickly and efficiently.

With this application, you can:

Create and manage job openings.
Enter and manage applicant information.
Manage job postings.
Search for job openings and applicants.
Screen applicants.
Route applicants.
Manage applicant interviews.
Manage offers.
Prepare applicants for hire.

In addition to the features that are available to help you manage the recruiting process, you can also:

Create and manage employee referral programs.
Use the text catalog to modify much of the text that appears on the applicant facing pages.

The text catalog contains the default text, but you can change the default text as needed. The text catalog enables you to change text for:
- Page titles.
- Page instructions.
- Link titles.
- Group box labels.
- Field labels.
  
  See Setting Up the Text Catalog.
Secure access to data.

Talent Acquisition Manager uses permission lists and roles to control access to menus, components, and pages. It uses row-level security to control access to employee data.

In addition, a user's access to job openings is also determined by association with a job opening through the Associations group box on the Job Opening page.

To accommodate people that might need to approve job openings or job offers that are outside the business unit, department, or company that is tied to a job opening, Talent Acquisition Manager uses the Recruiting Row Level Security component to give them access.

The setup tasks include the components that you must set up, listed in the order in which you must enter data into the component tables, and links to the corresponding PeopleBook documentation.

PeopleSoft Enterprise Talent Acquisition Manager also provides component interfaces that help you load data from your existing system into PeopleSoft Enterprise Talent Acquisition Manager Integrations tables.
