Exciting Updates in Recruitment: Redwood Phase 2 goes Live!
Published on
Oracle Recruiting is getting a new look and these changes will improve the experience for hiring managers and make it easier to manage recruitment activity. Alongside this, it will bring greater consistency to our Recruitment Pages within ORC and allow us to move forward with our continuous improvement journey with the support of Version 1 and Oracle.
What’s changing?
✨ A new look for Shortlisting and changes to where candidate information is viewed
As part of the new Redwood look and feel, some candidate information is now displayed differently. You can also now “Favourite” candidates to better support identifying candidates you want to progress, or need further consideration.
Where you view the “Supporting Information” and “Guaranteed Interview Scheme Questions” has also changed. When reviewing an application, Supporting Information and the candidate's responses to Guaranteed Interview Scheme Questions are now accessed through clicking into “Screening” and then “Internal Prescreening Questionnaire”
✨Checking contingent workers on internal-only vacancies
There is also a change to how hiring managers check whether a contingent worker has applied for an internal-only vacancy. Contingent workers can still submit an application through Oracle Recruiting, despite not being eligible for vacancies advertised for Walsall Council employees only, so hiring managers should continue to check applications and reject any ineligible candidates
✨A new look for interview scheduling
The pages used to create and manage interview schedules have been refreshed. While the overall process remains similar, hiring managers are encouraged to follow the Interview Quick Reference Guide (QRG) when setting up their next interview schedule.
What do I need to do?
There’s no action you need to take now the changes are live. However, if you’re involved in recruitment, we recommend familiarising yourself with the updated screens and guidance.
