By /

Creating a Candidate Pool in Oracle Recruiting Cloud allows you to organize and manage potential candidates for future job openings. This can help streamline your recruiting efforts by maintaining a database of qualified candidates that can be easily accessed. Here’s how to create a candidate pool:

Steps to Create a Candidate Pool:

1. Log in to Oracle HCM Cloud:

  • Use your credentials to log into the system. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create candidate pools.

2. Navigate to Recruiting:

  • From the home page, click on “My Client Groups” and select “Recruiting” or “Hiring”.
  • This will take you to the Recruiting Dashboard.

3. Access the Candidate Pools Section:

  • Look for a section or tab labeled “Candidate Pools”, “Talent Pools”, or similar terminology.
  • Click on this option to view existing candidate pools and manage them.

4. Create a New Candidate Pool:

  • Look for a button or link that says “Create Pool”, “New Candidate Pool”, or a plus (+) icon.
  • Click on this option to begin the process of creating a new candidate pool.

5. Fill in Pool Details:

  • Enter the necessary information for the new candidate pool. This typically includes:
    • Name of the Pool: Choose a descriptive name that reflects the type of candidates you intend to include (e.g., “Software Engineers,” “Sales Candidates”).
    • Description: Optionally, provide a brief description of the pool’s purpose.
    • Criteria: Specify any criteria for candidates that should be included in this pool, such as specific skills, experience levels, or job functions.

6. Set Pool Visibility and Permissions:

  • Determine who can view or access the candidate pool. This may involve setting permissions for different roles or groups within your organization.

7. Add Candidates to the Pool (optional):

  • If you want to add candidates immediately after creating the pool, you may have the option to do so.
  • Search for existing candidates in the system and select those you want to include in the pool.

8. Review and Save:

  • Once you have entered all the necessary information and added any candidates, review the details for accuracy.
  • Click “Save” or “Submit” to create the new candidate pool.

9. Verify the New Candidate Pool:

  • After saving, navigate back to the Candidate Pools section to ensure that your new candidate pool has been successfully created.
  • You should see it listed among other candidate pools.

Example Workflow:

  1. Log In: Access Oracle HCM Cloud with your credentials.
  2. Navigate: Go to the Recruiting Dashboard and find the Candidate Pools section.
  3. Create Pool: Click “Create Pool” and enter the required information (name, description, etc.).
  4. Set Permissions: Define who can access the pool.
  5. Add Candidates: Optionally, add candidates to the pool if desired.
  6. Save: Click “Save” to create the candidate pool.
  7. Verify: Check the Candidate Pools section to ensure it was created successfully.

Tips:

  • Organize Thoughtfully: Use clear and descriptive names for your pools to make them easy to identify in the future.
  • Regular Updates: Periodically review and update the candidate pool to remove candidates who are no longer relevant and to add new qualified candidates.
  • Use Tags: If your organization allows tagging, consider tagging candidates within the pool for easier searching and categorization.

By following these steps, you can efficiently create and manage candidate pools in Oracle Recruiting Cloud, ensuring that you have a well-organized list of potential candidates for future job openings.
