Creating Job Requisition in Few Clicks-Oracle 22A update

Oracle introduces exciting features with every release. These enhanced features make Oracle more user friendly. With 22A upgrade, Oracle has provided the feature to Copy Job Offer for Oracle Recruiting Cloud.

The Copy Job Offer feature enables a recruiter to quickly create new job offers for one or more new hires by copying the offer details which were already created and approved for some other candidate. This function will copy all the details accept the date of the offer. In case anything in the original offer has become obsolete by the time of copy, then only partial data will be copied. For example, if the salary basis field or location field details are removed from the original offer, then only half the details will be copied. Recruiters can continue drafting each one with more current information. The copied job offer will be in the draft state. This is helpful and time saver as Recruiters can modify if new candidates offer details need to be a bit different than the original candidate offer details. Alternatively, the copied offer can also be configured to immediately submit for approval cycle.

The user will get notified once the copy is complete. This notification will also include details if any offers couldn’t be copied for some reason. Configurations can be done for copied offers to accelerate with offer extension and move to HR automatically, i.e., if the candidate accepts the offer.
