Oracle Recruiting Cloud Career Sites: Everything You Need to Know
If your company currently leverages Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM), there are major benefits to developing your native Oracle Recruiting Cloud Career Site, including opportunities to streamline the hiring process, enhance the candidate experience, and improve overall recruitment efficiency.
Rachel Green, Senior Consultant for HCM Advisory, offers her expert insights below to help companies understand the benefits of opting for a native Oracle Recruiting Cloud (ORC) Career Site.
What is an Oracle Career Site?
Oracle Career Sites are integrated with Oracle HCM solutions to enable companies to quickly and efficiently post job openings, communicate valuable candidate information, and elevate your recruitment marketing efforts.
Working in tandem with your ORC configuration, these sites are templated and fully customizable, allowing for strong brand representation without clunky APIs.
Why should companies use an Oracle Career Site?
Your company career site is often the one of the first places a candidate will come into contact with your organization. As such, the website should directly represent your employer’s value proposition, culture, and brand while providing candidates with a clear path from arrival to application and beyond.
Decreasing popups, removing external site links and eliminating jumping across multiple domains are just a few of the even more important technical aspects to consider in keeping your candidates engaged.
While there are many available options for building custom career sites who claim to work well with Oracle Recruiting Cloud, they often fall short in several key areas.
Frequently, these additional systems have clunky APIs and are costly in both development and maintenance.
These platforms also miss one valuable piece: They leave your default Oracle Recruiting Cloud external site floating in the vast unknown to be crawled (and found) by Google — and ultimately, your candidates. This site is required in order for your candidates to access their applications, events, and job offers within ORC and cannot be turned off.
However, with Oracle Recruiting Cloud, companies gain access to a comprehensive website solution — built right into your ATS — that not only enhances the existing ORC candidate experience but also streamlines the recruiting process for your hiring teams.
Benefits of migrating to an Oracle Career Site
1. Seamless integration
Oracle Recruiting Cloud Career Sites are built directly into your Oracle HCM instance, without the need for any additional CMS tools or APIs. This seamless integration ensures that candidate activities are tracked in real-time, providing a unified experience from job search to offer signing.
2. Quarterly releases
Oracle’s quarterly release cycles ensure that your career site stays up to date with the latest features. New tools and enhancements are automatically populated with your Oracle Recruiting Cloud configurations, allowing you to quickly roll out valuable new candidate tools without the hassle of manual updates.
3. All-in-one candidate experience
With Oracle Recruiting Cloud, all candidate activities happen within a single platform. This unified experience covers everything from job search to onboarding, ensuring that your employer branding is consistent throughout the entire process.
4. Responsive design
Oracle Recruiting Career Sites are designed to be mobile and tablet-ready right out of the box. Built in design structures ensure that your site is fully responsive — even with personalization, providing a smooth experience across all devices without additional coding.
