Irecruitment Interview Question 1





What are the advantages to the HR or the recruiting group of using iRecruitment?

Oracle iRecruitment is a full-cycle recruitment solution. It automates every phase of the recruitment process. iRecruitment integrates with Oracle HRMS to manage the entire workforce lifecycle. Information that the two applications share simplifies your day-to-day administrative tasks. For example, after you hire an applicant, your administrative staff need not spend time filling our forms about the new hire. The employee’s assignment details are already available.


Can I configure iRecruitment site according to my enterprise’s requirements?
Oracle iRecruitment is a highly extensible and configurable application that enables you to design a recruitment site that addresses your enterprise’s needs. You can configure data, content, labels, links, and logos to address the specific goals of your job site.


What type of user does iRecruitment support?

iRecruitment supports the following types of users:

Site visitor: 

A user who accesses the external web site but does not create an account.

Registered user: 

A user who registers on your web site and provides a minimum amount of personal information. When an external visitor registers in iRecruitment, iRecruitment creates an Oracle HRMS user with the e-mail address as the username.

Employee: 

A user who can apply to internal job postings, perform employee referral, and interview tasks. 

Manager or recruiter: 

A user who can access the entire functionality. Using iRecruitment, managers or recruiters can:
  • Post and manage vacancies
  • Process candidates and applicants
  • Manage recruitment communication
  • Create and manager offers
  • Create and manage interviews


You must assign the iRecruitment Manager and iRecruitment Recruiter responsibilities to your managers or recruiters to enable them to access iRecruitment using their standard self-service login.

Agency user: 

An external person who belongs to a recruiting agency and accesses iRecruitment to conduct recruiting activities such as creating candidates and applying on behalf of candidates. You  assign the iRecruitment Agency responsibility to agency users to enable them to access iRecruitment.


Is a HR Professional User Interface delivered with iRecruitment?

You need Oracle HRMS to hold work structure information that is used in iRecruitment. An HR responsibility - iRecruitment HRMS Manager, is supplied to customers who do not have the complete Oracle HRMS application. Using this responsibility they can access all the HR functionality they require to run iRecruitment.


Can I migrate legacy data into iRecruitment?

Yes. You can migrate data such as candidate information and vacancy details to the iRecruitment system. You can also import other data such as qualifications and competencies. To load your legacy data to the Oracle database, use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).


What are the security features of Oracle iRecruitment?

You can define user profiles, security profiles, responsibilities, and menu structures to control who uses iRecruitment. You can create security profiles to control manager access to vacancy information. Managers can set up vacancy security to define who has access to vacancy details.


Do we define users for iRecruitment candidates?

When an external site visitor registers in iRecruitment, an Oracle HRMS user is automatically created using the visitor's e-mail address as the username. The iRecruitment External Candidate responsibility is assigned to the user.


Can I use personalization options in iRecruitment?

Yes. Since iRecruitment uses the standard OA Framework, you can use all of the personalization options. To enable administration-level personalizations you need to set the profile options that are available for personalization as required:
  • Personalize Self–Service Defn
  • Disable Self–Service Personal



Can I modify flexfields that are available on the iRecruitment web pages?

You can use Personlization Framework, a component of the Oracle Applications (OA) Framework technology to customize pages and flexfields. You can restrict the display of the whole flexfield, or certain segments of a flexfield.


Can I configure the existing notifications in iRecruitment?

A number of predefined notifications are supplied with iRecruitment. For example, candidates can receive notifications about matching jobs and new vacancies. Managers can receive notifications about the status of the vacancy that they have created. They get a vacancy approval notification if the vacancy is approved. You can use the Application Developer responsibility and the Messages window to edit the contents of the notification messages.


How to set up the pages for user and agency in iRecruitment?



  • Create a contact in Enter and Maintain screen
  • Create Agency Responsibility
  • Create end user
  • Assign Agency responsibility and Contact to the user

Can I use iRecruitment to meet country-specific recruitment requirements?

Yes. iRecruitment supports localization level personalization. You can use this feature to meet legislative or country-specific recruitment requirements. For example, you can hide the gender field in the Enter Applicant Details page at the localization level to conform to the legal requirements of a specific country.


Does iRecruitment support the approval process for vacancies and job offers?

Yes. You can set up an approval process to route vacancies and offers to appropriate managers for approval.


Can I create common job description for vacancies?

Yes. The Default Postings feature enables you to enter a set of values to use as a default whenever a particular business group, organization, job, or position is selected for a vacancy. For example, if you create a lot of similar job postings for administration jobs, then you could set up a default job posting to use whenever you select Administrator as the job for a vacancy.


How do I ensure that the offer letters follow our enterprise branding and HR policy standards?

You can use offer letter templates or standard descriptions to create offer letters for your business group, organization, jobs, or positions.


How does iRecruitment help my enterprise work with agencies to manage the recruitment process?

Enterprises can use agencies functionality to manage a range of recruitment activities. Agencies can register their candidates with iRecruitment and apply for jobs on their behalf. Enterprises can process agency candidates to fill job openings or hand over the complete placement process to an agency.


Is the candidate data secure when the enterprise works with multiple agencies using iRecruitment?

Yes. Agencies can view data only of their candidates and cannot access details of candidates who are self-registered or from other agencies. For example, agencies can view details of the candidates that they themselves registered or candidates associated with their agencies by managers.


Can I validate the email addresses candidates supply when they register?

You can set up a business event to send an e-mail to candidates when they register, instructing them to reply to the e-mail to confirm that their e-mail address is correct. This enables you to confirm if the candidates have supplied valid e-mail addresses. You can then use Application Programmatic Interfaces (APIs) to delete records of candidates who do not respond within a certain time period.


Does iRecruitment support multi-lingual and multi- currency requirements?

Yes, iRecruitment supports multi-lingual and multi -currency requirements. You can configure the application to address specific local and cultural requirements.


What is High Availability?

When you shut down the iRecruitment instance to carry out maintenance tasks, your job site is not available for candidates to search and apply for jobs. You can use the iRecruitment High Availability functionality to set up an alternate or high availability instance to make the basic candidate job site available. This functionality enables you to switch between the two instances to continuously support the candidate job site.
