Interview Questions on Oracle i-Recruitment

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

-------------------

1. How to restrict iRecruitment external visitors to access only responsibilities on the external server?


Answer- Set the Server Trust Level for the server to External

- Set the Trust Level of the iRecruitment external responsibilities to External too.



2. Is SSHR a dependency for iRecruitment?



Answer



iRecruitment has no dependence on SSHR (and vice versa).



3. Why can't I view my external candidates though they have several global competencies/skills matching the competencies

required for the vacancy in PUI/core forms?



Answer



When searching for candidates for your vacancy these candidates may not show up because of a few reasons:



1. The match is on skill levels, not just skills - make sure that candidates have skills of the right level

2. The candidates may have been set so that they cannot be searched (this is the default)

3. There may be other things set on the vacancy which must be matched, e.g. professional area, or qualifications and so on



Skills/competencies entered with IRC.B or earlier, through iRecruitment will not appear in core HR.



4. Does iRecruitment support "Candidate Qualifying Questionnaires" where the candidate must answer vacancy-specific questions correctly prior to submitting an application?



Answer



iRecruitment currently does not support this function. For now this can be achieved by having a set of simple questions usingflexfield to get those responses and a user hook to validate them as part of the apply process. .



5. How do I eradicate the following error While querying available vacancies in iRecruitment and clicking on one of the

results? "oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25002: Definition GradeName of type Attribute not found"



Answer



There is a field called Grade on this screen which is hidden by default, which has an attribute called GradeName, but

it appears that attribute does not exist in the underlying view. This field would have been personalized to be displayed

causing this error.



6. Can we change the default currency on job vacancy details?



Answer



The default currency in iRecruitment is always the default currency of the business group.



7. Do we track vacancy history?



Answer



iRecruitment does not track changes to the vacancy. If changes to a field are to be traced use the Audit capability in APPs.



8. Is there a functionality to capture Time and Date stamps of when Applicant first applied and when documents first uploaded available?



Answer



Currently this functionality is not available. The WHO columns like creation_date, created_by, last_update_date and so on,

which can be used to determine exactly when any record was created are never exposed in the self service tech stack unlike

forms.



10. How do we see the current status of a vacancy submitted for approval?



Answer



The status field allows you to search for vacancies with just one of the many statuses, e.g. Approved. However, a

vacancy is not actually created until it is approved if approvals are turned on.



11. How to repopulate the seeded address types in iRecruitment?



Answer



Re-run the patch that delivers in force apply mode OR the ldt file residing at $PER_TOP/patch/115/import/US.



12. What is the order/hierarchy in which default job posting information comes through in the vacancy?



Answer



If default postings are created at multiple levels then all of the fields will be filled out from the position. If there are

any blank then it will look at the job to see if any of the blanks were specified on the job. If there are any further

blanks, then it will look at organization, and then finally business group.



The order would be as follows:

1. Position

2. Job

3. Organization

4. Business Group



13. How to send postings to external websites (such as Monster/Stepstone etc)?



Answer



Refer to the implementation guide.



14. Why should I re-login to view candiate created via Magnaware in iRecruitment?



Answer



The way that HR security works is that security is cached for a session under some circumstances.This is to improve

performance. That means that under some circumstances a new user will not be visible until re-logging in, and the cache is

refreshed.



15. How do I download an application from from iRecruitment?



Answer



While creating the vacancy include an html link to the application form document in the job posting. The user looking

at the vacancy can just click on the link to download the document.



16. Can the uploaded resume/covering letter be viewed in PUI/form?



Answer



This functionality is currently available in iRecruitment only.
