Getting Started Getting Started

Getting Started

Taleo Scheduling CenterThe Taleo Scheduling Center is a module used with Taleo Recruiting to handle automated and high volume scheduling of candidates.

Detailed Description

The Taleo Scheduling Center is a module used with Taleo Recruiting to handle automated and high volume scheduling of candidates. This add-on scheduling functionality allows users to schedule any number of screening functions for candidates, including but not limited to:

• Job Fair or Campus Appointments

• Mass Recruitment Events

• Interviews

The Taleo Scheduling Center facilitates the scheduling of these functions through the creation and management of calendars, which are populated with timeslots, into which candidates can schedule appointments. The Taleo Scheduling Center sends follow-up invitations (triggered through CSW) and reminder emails and records status messages in the candidate file each time a candidate performs a scheduling activity. The Taleo Scheduling Center displays a calendar view for users showing the resulting timetables of which invites are scheduled for each time slot on each day. The Taleo Scheduling Center sends email messages to candidates requesting them to schedule an appointment. It also sends emails confirming appointments and reminding candidates about their scheduled appointments.

The Taleo Scheduling Center screening service is available in two types of integration:

• Self-service: This integration type is supplied with all applications. In this type, an initial invitation email is sent to the candidate. Emails sent at the different phases of the workflow are controlled through candidate permissions set at the calendar level. The employer (recruiter) will be able to manage the appointments of a candidate only if the candidate has logged in to the Taleo Scheduling Center at least once.

• Proctored: This integration type is optional and must be activated by Taleo Support. In this type, no initial invitation email is sent to the candidate. Emails sent at the different phases of the workflow are controlled through candidate permissions set at the calendar level. The employer (recruiter) can manage the appointments of a candidate even if the candidate has not logged in to the Taleo Scheduling Center.

Although two types of integrations exist for the Taleo Scheduling Center, both types are configured, activated and used the same way.

Benefits

• The Taleo Scheduling Center eliminates significant amounts of manual work to schedule candidates for various purposes, including handling confirmations and reminders, and candidate rescheduling and cancellations. It can help to accelerate the recruiting process, allowing your most promising candidates to schedule themselves for the next step in the process. Its

Getting Started Getting Started

functionality can begin booking appointments for candidates even before your staff has had a chance to view all the submissions. It is ideal for volume recruiting activities such as job fairs, campus interviews and new location openings. Extensive features provide clarity on sourcing and hiring, thereby catalyzing continuous improvement in recruiting.

• The Taleo Scheduling Center eliminates the long and costly process of “Telephone Tag.” Recruiters and candidates communicate online efficiently and at their convenience through the application and invitation process. Because it automates so many parts of the recruitment process, the Taleo Scheduling Center can allow your staff to spend less time on clerical tasks and to devote more time to higher-value tasks.

Administrator UserA Taleo Scheduling Center Administrator is a user that has all permissions, for all calendars in the Taleo Scheduling Center.

Detailed Description

The Taleo Scheduling Center has an Administrator level of access which allows a user to create, manage or edit all calendars. The Administrator user can also grant permissions to other users for the ownership or access to calendars. A user that has been granted an Administrator user type permission has all the permissions of a Read-Only, Mark Arrived/No Show, Manage Timeslots and Administer Calendars user.

A Taleo Scheduling Center Administrator user does not necessarily have Administrator rights for the Recruiting Center.

The administrator is the only user that can assign ownership of a calendar to a user.

Detailed Description

The Access Scheduling Center user type permission only gives users access to the Scheduling Center. The functions users will be allowed to perform in the Scheduling Center will depend on the Calendar Role they will be granted. Users can be granted the following Calendar Roles:

• Read-Only

User Guide Taleo Scheduling Center 1-3

Getting Started Getting Started

• Mark Show/No Show• Manage Timeslots• Schedule Appointments• Administer Calendars• Calendar Owner

The Create calendars and access Scheduling Center user type permission gives users the ability to create calendars via the Add New Calendar link in Scheduling Center. Users granted this permission will automatically be assigned the Calendar Owner calendar role (although the creator does not have to be the owner). Users with this user type permission will still need to be assigned calendar roles for other calendars they do not own or create.

Users granted the Create calendars and access Scheduling Center user type permission can choose another Calendar Owner or remain the Calendar Owner. However, the users granted the Create calendars and access Scheduling Center user type permission will always keep the Calendar Owner calendar role allowing them to go back to the calendar after creation.

PhaseA phase is a configured parameter for an action.

Detailed Description

Phases are used in a candidate selection workflow. They allow a system administrator to configure a parameter for an action that will be performed during the candidate selection workflow.

If phases are available for a service, the system administrator will be able to create phases and configure them.

Example:

The phase allows the system administrator to associate the workflow, step and status that will trigger a follow-up appointment and further configure which appointment invitation will be distributed. A requisition can include up to ten phases. However, to avoid confusion, it is recommended to use only two or three phases per requisition. The appropriate invitation will be automatically sent based on the calendar ID association selected by the user in the requisition file Screening section.
