Introduction to HCM Skills
You can use a digital assistant to interact with HCM and Recruiting Cloud by downloading skills available from the Oracle
Digital Assistant (ODA) skill store.
While on the road or between meetings, you can quickly converse with skills to answer questions using chat channels
such as Web Channel. Alternatively, you can use the various channels supported by the Oracle Digital Assistant
platform.
HCM
The HCM skill includes multiple intents designed to address employment related questions or help you initiate a
manager self-service transaction. When you download the HCM skill, you get all delivered intents. If you don’t want to
make them all available to your employees or haven’t implemented all functionality to support the intents, you can
control access using security as described below. For web channel, you can access this skill within the HCM application.
To use the intents, you must have implemented the corresponding Oracle Fusion functionality so that data exists in the
application. For example, to use the Pay slip or Absence Balance intents, you must have implemented Fusion Payroll and
Fusion Absence Management, respectively.

Recruiting
Oracle Recruiting Cloud now supports Candidate Experience, Internal Candidate Experience, and Hiring Skills.
The Candidate Experience skill integrates with Oracle Recruiting Cloud and enables candidates to search for jobs, check
their application status, add to talent pool, withdraw the application or delete profile.
Note: The Candidate Experience skill must be hosted in its own digital assistant and can’t be combined with any other
skills because it’s an external candidate focused skill.
To interact with the Candidate Experience skill using an Oracle Web channel, you can follow these instructions to set it
up:
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/main/downloadattachmentprocessor?attachid=2530856.1%3A3&docType=WHITE%
20PAPER&action=download
The Internal Candidate Experience skill integrates with Oracle Recruiting Cloud and enables internal candidates to search
for jobs, check their application status or withdraw the application. The Internal Candidate Experience skill can be part of
the DA with other skills like Hiring and HCM.
The Hiring skill integrates with Oracle Recruiting Cloud and enables recruiters and hiring team to check their requisition
status, candidate status and review any pending offers. The Hiring skill can be combined with other skills like HCM and
Approvals, and is part of the Fusion Applications Digital Assistant.

Secure Access to Intents

Most intents are backed by REST APIs that are secured by function and aggregate privileges. You can control the intents
employees can access in the HCM skill using these privileges. If you haven’t implemented or licensed functionality
required for an intent, don’t grant your employee role the privileges for those intents.
REST APIs not only give access to the conversation in the skill, they also evaluate data security to determine whose data
the user can see within the skill response, their own or someone else’s.
Some intents use deep links rather than REST APIs. There is no functional security check to determine which deep links
the responses will include. When the user clicks a deep link provided by the digital assistant, a security check is
performed. Users who don’t have the function privilege to perform the deep linked action will get an access error. For
actions that require selecting a person, the user must click the deep link and sign into the HCM Cloud Service before
selecting a person. Data security is performed after the user searches for and selects the person.
The following table identifies the required privileges for REST APIs and deep links for all the intents included in the HCM
skill.

about the Oracle Digital Assistant including downloading a skill from the skill store, configuring the Oracle Digital
Assistant, adding skills to your digital assistant, and setting up user channels.
Interacting with HCM using Oracle Digital Assistant

The HCM skill covers wide product functionality, but is not designed to address each and every feature of Oracle Human
Capital Management. You can extend the skill beyond its out-of-the-box capabilities to address specific use cases.
These are important considerations for interacting with the Oracle Digital Assistant.
Name Formats
When you enter the person’s name, type it as firstname lastname.
Line Manager’s Team
A line manager is a user with at least one direct report, including dotted line and matrix reports. Line managers can view
data for direct employees only.
Primary Assignments
Only primary assignments are supported for all intents. The digital assistant responses include information for the signed
in user’s primary assignment when asking about themselves, and the primary assignment for others when asking about
another person.
Configuring Skills
Delivered skills are read-only. You can extend skills to modify utterances and synonyms and other metadata to match
your organization’s tone and speaking style. Doing so will help the skill recognize your company name, plan names, and
plan types when included in phrases employees enter into the digital assistant.
Language
English is the only delivered language.

HCM Skill
The HCM skill includes the following intents.
 Absence Balances
 Past & Future Scheduled Absences
 Anytime Feedback
 Benefits Coverage
 Payslip
 Directory
 The Directory intent includes entities to support the following:
 Salary
 Tax Withholdings & Year-End Documents
 Onboarding
 Manager Self-Service
 Team Performance Evaluations & Goals
Absence Balance
View all balances for accrual based absence plans you’re enrolled in.
Intended User: Employee
Sample phrases you can use:
 What’s my vacation balance?

 What will be my vacation balance as of the end of July?
 Annual leave balance
 What is my sick balance?
 Can you show my available vacation balance?
 Do I have any vacation balance left?
 What will be vacation balance at the end of the year?
 How many PTO hours do I have?
 What will be my vacation balance at the end of the month?
 Show me my vacation balance
 What is my leave balance?
Sample synonyms/words: sick, vacation, PTO, comp time, leave, absence, time off, balance
Things to note: The digital assistant does not recognize company specific absence types and plan names. It only
generically recognizes the plan types such as sick, vacation, PTO, and comp time. So if you ask “How many days do I have
in my Acme Sabbatical Plan”, the digital assistant may not understand and may return an unexpected response. The
digital assistant returns all plan balances, even if you ask about a specific plan balance.
You can click the provided deep link to navigate into the application to schedule time off.

Past & Future Scheduled Absences
View your approved absences scheduled in the past or future.
Sample phrases you can use
• Show me my scheduled absences.

• When was my last day off?
• Have I already scheduled my vacation?
• Did I take any time off last month?
• Show me my absence record for the next 2 weeks.
• How much time off did I take last month?
• Show me absences in the last month
• How many paid days leave have I taken this year?
• How much sick time have I used?
• Did I take any time off this year?
• Bring up my vacation plans
Sample synonyms/words: sick, vacation, PTO, comp time, leave, absence, time off, scheduled
Things to note: The digital assistant does not recognize company specific absence types and plan names. It only
generically recognizes the types of plans using the words such as sick, vacation, PTO, and comp time. So if you ask a
question that uses a company specific plan name or plan type, the digital assistant may not understand and may return
an unexpected response.
The digital assistant returns all scheduled absences if you don’t specify a supported time period, even if you ask about a
specific one. The digital assistant also does not understand all time frames. It understands this or last week, last 2 weeks,
last month, last 6 months, and this year, for example.

Anytime Feedback
View or provide feedback for self, peer, an employee, or someone else in the organization and designate who can see
your feedback.
Intended User: Employee, Line Manager
• I want to give feedback for susan smith

• I want to add note
• Can I give feedback?
• Can I view my feedback?
• Can I update my feedback?
• Can I delete my feedback?
• Can I view my feedback for John Smith?
• Can I update feedback for John Smith?
• I want to give public feedback for dan martin
• I want to give private kudos for lucy barry
Sample synonyms/words: feedback, note, kudos
Things to note: Even if you specify who can see your feedback, the skill will still prompt you to choose the visibility after
you enter the feedback. You can view and manage feedback for your direct reports. You can also view feedback that you
have given for yourself or others have given for you.

Benefits Coverage
View your medical, dental, and health provider group numbers and the dependents covered under your enrolled benefit
plans for the current benefits plan year.
• What’s my medical group number?

• Who are my benefit providers?
• What’s my health provider’s coverage number?
• What is VSPs group number?
• What is the name of my dental insurance?
• Who are my benefit providers?
• How many people are covered under my health plan?
• Is my family covered?
• Who did I cover under my vision this year?
• Are my dependents enrolled in my benefit plans?
• Show me my health plan
• What is my vision plan?
Sample synonyms/words: medical, dental, vision, health, Kaiser, VSP, Metlife, group number, coverage, dependents,
enrolled, insurance.
Things to note: The digital assistant does not recognize company specific benefit plan types or plan names. It only
generically recognizes the types of ‘medical’, ‘dental’, and ‘vision’ and some very common US health providers like
Kaiser, VSP, and Metlife. If you ask a question that uses a company specific plan name or plan type that does not include
one of these recognized words, the skill may return an unexpected response.
When the digital assistant understands the plan type you’re referring to, it will provide the group number for that
specific plan. When it doesn’t understand, it will return group numbers for all enrolled plans. The same is true for
enrolled dependents.
For example, if open enrollment is from Nov 1-Nov 15, 2020, and you made benefit election and coverage changes
effective January 1, 2021, the digital assistant will return coverage and enrollment information in effect for 2020. On
January 1, 2021, it will return coverage and enrollment information for 2021.

Things to note: The digital assistant returns the same response for all questions it determines are related to the payslip,
regardless of how your phrase your question or statement. More detailed questions can be addressed by clicking the link
and looking at the actual payslip for that period.

Salary
View your own salary or the salary of one of your employees.
Intended User: Employee, Line Manager
 Show me my salary
 What is my compensation?
 Did I get my raise?
 When was my last salary increase?
 How much was my salary adjustment?
 When was my last adjustment?
 What is John Anderson current salary?
 When was John Anderson last raise?
 When was John Anderson last salary increase?
 When was John Anderson last salary adjustment?
Sample synonyms/words: salary, pay rate, hourly rate, increase, salary adjustment, change, increase
Things to note: The digital assistant returns the same response for all questions it determines are related to salary,
regardless of what question you ask. If the person whose salary you are viewing has never been changed, only current
information will be returned.

Tax Withholdings & Year End Documents
Employees can navigate into the application to view state and federal tax withholdings as well as their year-end tax
documents.
 Show me my latest state W4

 Where can I find my W4?
 Where can I find my W2?
 Show me my W2
 What is my tax withholding?
 View tax documents
 Show year end document

Sample synonyms/words: W2, W-2, W4, W-4, 1040, plus all state tax form codes, withholding, tax, tax forms, filing
status, exemptions
Things to note: The digital assistant returns a generic response when it detects that you asked a question about your
withholdings or year-end documents. The responses include deep links that navigate you to the Tax Withholding or End-
End Documents page within the application. You must sign in with your HCM Cloud user name and password to access
the pages.

Onboarding
As an employee, pending worker, manager, find out what onboarding or preboarding tasks you need to complete. As a
line manager, see what employees are onboarding onto your team.
Intended User: Pending Worker, Line Manager
 Show me my preboarding tasks

 What are my onboarding tasks
 Take me to my preboarding task list
 I want to see my onboarding checklist
 Do I need to complete any onboarding tasks?
Things to note: The digital assistant returns the same response for all questions it determines are related to onboarding,
regardless of what question you ask. Onboarding tasks and people can be seen by clicking the deep link and viewing
them in the application. If you’re a line manager, you always need to tell the digital assistant whose onboarding tasks
you want to view. The digital assistant does not know if you have onboarding tasks in either capacity.

Manager Self-Service
Initiate a manager self-service (MSS) transaction by using a deep link to navigate into the application to search for the
person you want to act on. Deep links makes it easy to quickly launch the transaction.
Intended User: Line Manager
The following manager self-service transactions are supported. Users must have at least 1 direct report and the required
privilege to perform the transaction.
Transaction Sample Phrases You Can Use

To see a list of all available manager self-service transactions you can start, you can also ask the digital assistant:
 What MSS transactions can I start

 What manager actions can I perform
 Show me all manager actions
Things to note: For all transactions that require person selection, if you provide the person’s name to the digital
assistant (i.e. ‘promote john smith’), you will still need to search for and select the person after you navigate into the
