Career Sections are the candidate-facing portion of Taleo Enterprise. It is potential employees' first glimpse into an organization.

A change to the Sign in with Google service used by candidates to register and sign in to the Taleo Career Section requires your action to maintain continued service.

To enable Single Sign-On (SSO), specific settings must be configured.

Each of the areas that you can configure for each of your Career Sections is described below.

Once candidates have accessed the Career Section, they have access to portal pages. A career portal page is a page displayed by clicking either the tabs or the links at the top of the Career Section, below the branding. Career portal pages each represent a specific area of the Career Section.

The Candidate Communication Agent module allows candidates to see job submission statuses and to always be informed of where they are in the application process.

Providing technical help improves the candidate experience of those candidates who encounter issues and ensures that they can successfully complete the application process and perform other tasks such as job searches.

The system searches the career sections in the order you configured (see the Sequence column of the Career Sections list) in determining to which career section candidates coming from a job specific URL (from a job board, a job posting notification, etc.) will be redirected.

Career Section administrators can configure the Display Type property to designate a career section as public or private. A URL that does not include a precise career section code cannot lead candidates to a career section whose Display Type property is set to Private.

Some personal information candidates provide while completing a job submission or general profile can be masked after the candidates save the corresponding page.

Customers can specify if a career section can be accessed from mobile devices.

Referrers can see all submissions of a candidate who they referred and who is still active.

When a Career Section is created, a URL is automatically generated for the Career Section. When candidates access the Career Section of an organization, they are taken to the URL created for the Career Section.

The Personalized Job List - Matching Criteria feature enables system administrators to set the criteria that determine when a match is to be made between a job and a candidate. Only jobs that meet all specified criteria are displayed in the Career Section Jobs Matching My Profile page.

On the My Submissions page, the display of the job status can be configured to display whether submissions are still being accepted.

Job Submission Status is a feature that allows candidates to be informed of where they are in the hiring process because they can view the status associated to their job applications.

The Matched Candidate Display feature allows system administrators to specify if jobs manually matched to candidates in the Recruiting Center are displayed in the candidate's Career Section My Submissions page.

The system can be configured to send a request to the agent to confirm a candidate’s availability.

Customers who wish to have increased control over the information sent to Career Section users via email may choose to enable the Secure Message Delivery feature. When enabled, all messages are delivered to a secure Message Center accessible from any of the customer's Career Sections. Message recipients are directed to the Message Center to retrieve their messages.

Candidates can use the search functionality to find jobs via the Basic Search and the Advanced Search pages of a Career Section.

The Help panel displays helpful information to the candidate.

The Resource Administration feature allows system administrators to display the ID associated to text appearing on pages of Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition products in order to modify the text.

Some commonly used career section resources can be overridden by a Career Section system administrator.

Recruiting Center users can see which medium was used to submit information about a candidate initially and which medium was used most recently.
