Using the Careers Page and the Actions List

This topic discusses the Careers page and the Actions List in Fluid Candidate Gateway.

The Careers page is the first page applicant see when they access Fluid Candidate Gateway. The Actions List button appears on pages throughout Fluid Candidate Gateway. Both the Careers page and the Actions List provide access to various applicant activities.

Page Name	Definition Name	Usage
Careers Page	HRS_CAREERS_FL	Search for jobs, view counts of items such as applications and notifications, and access other areas of Candidate Gateway.
Actions List	n/a	Quickly navigate to various areas of Candidate Gateway.

Applicants use the Careers page (HRS_CAREERS_FL) to search for jobs, view counts of items such as applications and notifications, and access other areas of Candidate Gateway. The Careers page is the first page applicants see when they access Fluid Candidate Gateway.

Navigation:

Internal applicants select click the Careers tile on the Employee Self Service homepage.
The Employee Self Service home page is delivered without the Careers tile, but the installation instructions for Fluid Candidate Gateway include steps for adding it to this homepage. For more information, see Internal Applicant Access to Candidate Gateway.
External applicants click a Candidate Gateway link that your organization places on a public website.
For more information about creating this link, see External Applicant Access to Candidate Gateway
Implementers and testers who want to access Fluid Candidate Gateway in external applicant mode can select Careers under the main Navigator menu.
This menu item exists only for implementation and testing purposes, as external applicants do not have access to the Navigator menu.
From other Fluid Candidate Gateway pages, applicants can click the Careers item in the Actions List.

Internal and External Versions of the Careers Page

The page appearance varies depending if the applicant is internal or external and, for external applicants, whether the applicant has signed in. Here is a summary of how the page changes depending on who is using it:

Internal applicants do not see the links for registering, signing in, or signing out.
External applicants see an option to access My Account Information, but internal applicants (who do not have Candidate Gateway accounts) see an option to access My Contact Information.
Internal applicants see more options in the banner across the top of the page. This topic does not discuss those additional options, which provide generic PeopleSoft functionality.
Banner options are controlled through stylesheets that are attached to PeopleTools themes. The installation documentation for Fluid Candidate Gateway includes instructions for applying the theme for external applicants. Refer to the Fluid Candidate Gateway installation documentation for detailed instructions.
