Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Teams

It may be necessary to associate a group of recruiters, hiring managers, or interviewers to a job opening. Assigning teams to a job opening when it is created can help expedite the recruiting process. When you create a job opening, you have the option of entering a team or individuals to the following areas:

When a team is added to the job opening, the team ID does not actually get added to the job opening. Instead, users who currently belong to the team are added individually to the job opening. Only active teams can be added to a job opening. If a team is made inactive after it has been assigned to a job opening, it continues to be assigned to the job opening. Administrators can remove a team or an individual within a team from a job opening at any time and those affected individuals will not longer have access to that job opening.

There is no limit to the number of teams you create, nor to the number of teams to which an employee can belong.

To create a new job opening, you use the Create a New Job Opening (HRS_JO_LAUNCH) component.

When you create a new job opening, you have the option of creating two types of job openings:

If you clone a job opening, it is automatically assigned the same type as the original job opening. After the job opening is submitted, applicants can apply for the job opening and you can begin the recruitment process.

If you are using approval processing for job openings, they must be approved before the recruitment process can begin.

The first page that displays is Enter Primary Job Opening Information. It is used to identify basic information about the job opening. The segmenting value entered in the Template Segmenting Type field on the Recruiting Installation - Installation Options page appears as a field on this page.

To identify which recruitment template to associate with the job opening, the system compares the value selected for the segmenting type entered on this page to the segmenting values entered on the recruitment template. The recruitment template that has segmenting values that match the information entered on the Enter Primary Job Opening Information page becomes the recruitment template assigned to the job opening.

For example, if Job Family is selected as the template segmenting type on the Recruiting Installation - Installation Options page, the field Job Family appears on this first page. The job family that you entered is used to find the recruitment template associated to that particular job family when the recruitment template is displayed.

If you are using approvals for job openings designated as a continuous job opening and the segmenting value type is either company or job family, you must enter a job code, position number, business unit, or department so the system can identify the setID.

After the recruitment template is identified, complete the detailed information about the job opening, including posting information. Job posting information consists of the posting title, one or more posting description types, and one or more posting destinations.

After you have entered the job opening information, you can submit the job opening or save it as a draft. If you select Save as Draft, the job opening status is set to draft. If you select Submit, the job opening status is set to:

Define whether the system requires approvals for job opening creation on the Recruiting Installation - Installation Options page.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicCreating Job Openings from Open Positions

This section provides an overview of job opening creation from open positions and discusses how to create job openings from open positions.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Job Opening Creation from Open Positions

To create job openings from open positions, run the Create Job from Position Application Engine process (HRS_CRJOB).

During the Create Job from Position process, the system:

  1. Determines all current open positions in the company.

    To determine whether a position is open, the system uses the PS_POSN_VACANT view on the Position Data table (PS_POSITION_DATA).

  2. Identifies the maximum head count allowed for each open position.

  3. Determines the current head count for each open position (how many incumbents, or current employees, fill any or all of the head count).

  4. Creates one standard requisition job opening for each position number that has openings and sets the status of each new job opening to Draft.

    When the system creates a new job opening, it populates the job opening data with data from the position or the derived job code—for example, the business unit, job code, company, department, location, and staffing and salary information. The system also populates the Target Openings field on the Job Opening page with the number of openings (maximum head count minus current head count) for that position number.

    If you select the Allow Duplicates option on the Create Job Openings from Positions page, the system creates a job opening for all open positions, regardless of whether a job opening for a position already exists.

    If you clear the Allow Duplicates option on the Create Job Openings from Positions page, the system checks to see if a job opening already exists for each position number. If a job opening already exists for a position number, the system creates a new job opening only if the number of open positions (maximum head count minus current head count) is greater than the number of target openings on the Job Opening page for the existing job opening. For example, if a position has five openings and a job opening already exists for that position with a target opening value of two, the system creates one new job opening with three as the target opening value.

    The system uses the segmenting type that is specified in the Template Segmenting Type field on the Recruiting Installation - Installation Options page and position data to select a recruitment template for each job opening. Because position data might be different for each position, the system could potentially use a different recruitment template for each job opening that it creates.

When you run the process, you must specify an originator. The originator appears in the Created By field on the Job Opening page, and will have access to the job openings after the system creates them. After the process completes, the originator will be able to access the new job openings through existing recruiting components, complete the necessary data entry—for example, screening, posting, and approval information—and submit the job opening for approval or save as normal, depending on whether the system requires approval for standard requisitions job openings.

Note. This feature is available only to organizations that use partial or full position management.

The user must also have the HCCPRS0000 permission list to access this page.

This section provides an overview of cloning job openings and discusses how to clone a job opening.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Cloning Job Openings

Another way to create a job opening is to clone an existing one. To clone a job opening, use the Clone Job Opening (HRS_JO_360) component. The only time you cannot clone an existing job opening is when the status of the job opening is Draft.

When you clone a job opening most of the data is copied from the existing job opening to the new one. However, some data will be left blank or adjusted. The following table summarizes the data that is transferred from the existing job opening to new job opening.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Job Opening Approvals

PeopleSoft software delivers a two-step approval process for job openings. You can modify the approval process to fit your organization's business needs.

See Working with Approvals.

To use the approval process for job openings, you must select the Standard Requisition and Continuous Job Opening check boxes in the Approvals Required group box on the Recruiting Installation - Installation Options page. When a recruiter creates and submits a job opening, the system checks whether approvals is required for that job opening type. If the check box is selected for the type of job opening that is being created, the system initiates the approval process. For example, if a recruiter creates a standard requisition job opening, and Standard Requisition is selected on the Recruiting Installation - Installation Options page, the system initiates the approval process.

Each approver can take action on the request on the Job Opening - Approval page, which they can access by using the link in the email notification that they receive or through the Pending Approvals component. Approvers can also add additional approvers or reviewers to an individual job offer by clicking on the Insert Approver icon on the Manage Applicants - Disposition Details page and entering information for the additional approver or reviewer on the Insert additional approver or reviewer page.

Approvers have the option of either:

The first approver is the supervisor of the person or persons entered as the primary hiring manager on the Job Opening page. To identify the supervisor, the system uses the Target Information page. The second approver is the recruiter or recruiters entered as the recruiter for the job opening.

This is how the delivered two-step job opening approval process works:

  1. A recruiter, also known as the originator, creates a job opening and submits it.

    The system sets the job opening status to Pending Approval. The system also identifies the first and second approvers and displays the Job Opening - Approval page that summarizes who is in the two-step approval process.

  2. The system notifies the first approver.

    The first approver is the supervisor of the person entered as the primary hiring manager on the Job Opening page. If there is more than one hiring manager and none is marked as primary, or if there is no hiring manager, then the first approval step is skipped. To identify the supervisor of the hiring manager, the system uses the Target Information page.

    See Setting Up Access to Direct Reports Data.

  3. If the first approver approves the job offer, the system notifies the second approver.

    The second approver is the recruiter or recruiters entered on the Job Opening page. When there are multiple recruiters, only one recruiter must approve the job opening. If you do not specify a recruiter, the system routes the approval request to the Recruiting Solutions Approval Administrator.

  4. If the second approver approves the job opening, the system updates the status of the job opening to Open and ends the approval process.

During the approval process, an approver can change information on the job opening. If certain fields are changed that might require the job opening to be evaluated again, , a trigger is created and the system sends a notification back to the first approver to start the approval process over. The fields that can cause a trigger to occur are:
