Destination

Select the recruitment source where you are sending this posting. Three types of recruitment sources are available for selection:

• Company recruitment sources represent your organization's own job sites. The job posting appears on the sites that are associated with the recruitment source.

• Vendor recruitment sources represent third-parties such as job boards or service procurement providers. A posting that includes a vendor recruitment source is available to be sent to the vendor using the Open Integration Framework. The system does not send the posting automatically, however. Instead, the posting appears on the Manage External Postings Page , where users can post, unpost, and update specific job postings.

• Marketing recruitment sources are places where you advertise job openings. Examples might include internet or email advertisements, print advertisements, and job fairs. There is no integration with marketing sources, so including a marketing source as a posting destination is informational only. Marketing recruitment sources include a setting to control whether they appear in the list of posting destinations.

See Setting Up Recruitment Sources.

Posting Type

Select the type of posting.

To make postings available on Candidate Gateway sites, you must select one of these values:

• External

  In PeopleSoft Candidate Gateway, these are the only job postings that external applicants can see. The posting description does not include any sections marked as internal.

• Internal

  In PeopleSoft Candidate Gateway, these are the only job postings that internal applicants can see. The posting description does not include any sections marked as external.

Postings to third-party job boards are identified by the destination (a vendor) without regard for the posting type, but you still use the External and Internal posting types to determine which sections of the posting description apply to the posting.

The remaining values are informational only. Use them for postings to non-electronic posting destinations. These values are:

• Contingent

• Office

• Recruitment

Relative Open Date

Choose how far in the future you want the job posting posted to this destination. If you select a value in this field, the system calculates the posting date and displays it in the Post Date field, which becomes unavailable for entry.

For example, if the date the job opening reaches the status of Open is September 5, 2009 and you select Ten Days as the relative open date, the Post Date will be September 15, 2009.

Post Date

Enter the date on which you want the job posting posted to this destination.

Remove Date and Posting Duration (Days)

Either enter a specific date on which you want to remove the posting from this destination, or enter the number of days that the posting is to remain active. If you enter a posting duration, the system calculates the removal date and displays it in the Remove Date field, which becomes unavailable for entry.
