The Job Title [list@YourCompany.com?Subject=LABxxxxx] is responsible for ensuring that
this document is necessary and that it reflects actual practice.
Note: Complete the pre-implementation steps such as Installation Requirements and setting
up Oracle Text. Refer to Oracle iRecruitment Implementation and User Guide for the pre-
implementation steps.
iRecruitment supports a single responsibility for both site visitors and candidate users. The
responsibilities are:
iRecruitment External Candidate for external site visitors and external candidates.
iRecruitment Employee Candidate for employee site visitors and employee
candidates.
When you define your self-service responsibilities, make sure that they are available from
Oracle Self- Service Web Applications.
4. Define the site-level profile options for iRecruitment. You must set up several profile
options to enable iRecruitment.
5. If you have licensed iRecruitment, set the IRC:Installed profile option to Yes.
Note: For more information about profile options, refer to Oracle iRecruitment
Implementation and User Guide.
8. In the Person field, assign a person to the user. The Person field is important for self-service
applications because it acts as the link between the professional forms interface and the self-
service application. This link enables the application to recognize who is using
iRecruitment. iRecruitment home page displays the user’s name.
9. Add the local iRecruitment Manager and iRecruitment Recruiter responsibilities to your
managers and recruiters. You define users for iRecruitment managers in the same way that
you define users for other Oracle HRMS applications.
10. Complete a series of steps to enable iRecruitment access to site visitors and candidates:
Using the Users window, assign the iRecruitment External Candidate and
iRecruitment Site Visitor responsibilities to the GUEST user and not to any other
users.
Use the Profile Options window to set the following profile options:
IRC: Visitor Homepage Function
IRC: Homepage Function
IRC: Candidate Permission Set
Create grants if you are using custom responsibilities for external and employee
candidates. Use the Functionality Administrator responsibility to create grants.
Note: iRecruitment supplies predefined grants for the GUEST user that enable site visitors access to the
application functions. The grants are associated with the predefined iRecruitment External Candidate and
iRecruitment Employee Candidate responsibilities. When site visitors register, iRecruitment automatically
grants the IRC_EXT_CANDIDATE_PSET permission set to candidates to create an account and work with
all the features of the application. The iRecruitment Employee Candidate responsibility uses the
IRC_EMP_SITE_V ISITOR_PSET permission set for employee site visitors. When employee site visitors
log in, iRecruitment uses the IRC_EMP_CANDIDATE_PSET permission set for the employees.
You learn how to create a grant for an external user in the Set Up for iRecruitment practice.
11. You do not need to create users for registered users (candidates). These users create their
own user IDs and passwords using the Registration function.
12. Set the IRC: Registration Business Group to define the default business group for candidate
registration. When a candidate registers, the application creates a person record in the
selected business group and managers or recruiters can view the information in Oracle
HRMS.
Review your security profiles and consider whether all users can access candidates. For example,
you may not want users other than the iRecruitment managers to access candidates.
Note: iRecruitment HRMS Manager is supplied to the users who do not have Oracle HRMS
fully installed.
Now you will look at the steps that you are required to complete in Oracle HRMS to work with
iRecruitment.

iRecruitment works with the work structures set up in Oracle HR. Ensure that these meet
your recruitment needs.
Work Structures include the jobs, positions, grades, and pay scales used in your enterprise.
You need to define them before you can start working with iRecruitment.
17. Define grades to record the relative status of employee assignments and to determine
compensations and benefits.
21. Define the job structure of your enterprise and enter details for each job. A job is a generic
role within a business group, which is independent of any single organization. For example,
the Manager and Consultant jobs can occur in many organizations.

job group will be available in other windows in Oracle HRMS such as Position,
Competencies, or Assignment.
23. Define positions that reflect a specific role, or function, that exists in your organization. For
example, the position Finance Manager is an instance of the job of Manager in the Finance
organization. When you define a position, it includes the jobs and organization.

29. Define external assignment statuses to display different status names to managers and
applicants.
Note: The assignment statuses are all business-group specific. You use external assignment
statuses to assign an alternative name to a status for external users. For example, you may
want to create an external name for a status so that the managers see the Pending Interview
or First Interview, while the external user sees only Interview.
33. Define the competencies required for your recruitment needs. The skills that are available in
iRecruitment are set up as global competencies in Oracle HRMS.
