STEP 5: SYSTEM UPDATES BASED ON NEW FEATURES

REQ POSTING RULES

The following areas need to be checked to ensure they are configured correctly to allow requisitions to post out to

the Cyber Recruiter controlled web pages.

A. Requisition Status Codes (Admin > Codes > Req Status Codes). Ensure any code which should be posted

out to the website starts with the word OPEN for the code or have the code “O”.

a. If it does not, change the description of the old code and add a new code with the proper

scheme.

b. Then review any current openings and change the status to the new corrected status.

B. Posting Dates (Requisition > Main Page). Review the posting dates on the Main page of the requisition to

ensure the job will be posted to the correct website publicly. If the dates are not correct, update the dates

using the following guidelines to ensure proper posting to the correct websites. If any date is left blank

the system will assume it should post to the website if the requisition is open.

a. Date Internally Posted = Date this job should be posted to the Self Service module for employees

b. Date Externally Posted = Date this job should be viewable for applicants

c. Remove Posting = Date this job should no longer show to the website if the job is still open in

Cyber Recruiter.

C. Posting Rules (Admin > Page Builder > Requisition > Create Requisition). If using the Auto Post (aka Auto

Open) feature, review the new settings in the setup to ensure new requisitions requested will post

automatically to the correct sites at the given times. If the date should not be automatically populated,

leave the field blank. If the field should be the same day as the approval, put 0 (zero) for the value.

a. Status = Status this job should be assigned to after being approved

b. Open Date = number of days after the job is approved it should be officially open

c. Date Posted Internally = number of days after the job is approved it should be posted to the Self

Service module for employee submission.

d. Date Posted Externally = number of days after the job is approved it should be posted to the

Careers site and the Self Service module for applicant submission.

e. Remove Posting = number of days this job should appear on the websites for submission of any

kind. Only use this field if your jobs are only open for a set number of days (15, 30, 60, etc.)

CONFIGURE REQUISITION AND APPLICANT POP-UP WINDOWS

The following area is new to Cyber Recruiter and should be configured (at least with base information) to ensure

activation of this new feature. This window of information will appear when a user is in either a requisition or

applicant file and moves the mouse over the job title or the applicant name.

A. Requisition Pop-Up (Admin > Page Builder > Requisition > Requisition Popup). Using the drop-down list,

select the fields in the order they should be displayed from the list of available requisition file fields for

quick and easy viewing.

B. Applicant Pop-Up (Admin > Page Builder > Applicant > Applicant Popup). Using the drop-down list, select

the fields in the order they should be displayed from the list of available requisition file fields for quick

DOCUMENTED RELEASE NOTES

This document contains the following items which have been added to Cyber Recruiter in Version 7.0.0. The

following list includes any features which will result in a client impact, features request by clients or features added

to Cyber Recruiter which we want to bring to your attention.

USER INTERFACE

Cyber Recruiter Version 7.0 includes an update to the user interface. The applicant view stays the same but the

core system used on a daily basis by Recruiters and Managers has been updated. Below is a quick list of the

changes so you can begin to get familiar.

1. New 'Recent Items' feature has been added which will store the last 5 applicants and last 5 requisitions

each user has viewed. To access the list, click on the button titled 'Recent Items'. With the addition of

this feature, the option for 'Last Applicant' and 'Last Requisition' has been removed.

2. A new searching tool has been added to quickly search the list of applicants and requisitions based on key

characters. A search box will be present on the various pages and typing in 'CA', for example, will result in

records where the applicant name, requisition title, or requisition code has CA in the field.

3. A new quick reference pop-up menu has been added to the Applicant and Requisition page header. This

pop-up view is designed to display information which might be nested in various pages of Cyber Recruiter

so the user can get quick access to the information. The fields displayed in the pop-up window are

configured in each system of Cyber Recruiter in the Admin > Page Builder section.

4. The Side Menu Bar in the Applicant and Requisition File have been removed and have been replaced with

a drop-down menu item at the top of the file to provide more room in the file and consistency through all

pages.

5. Red arrow icons used to navigation through lists in the Requisition and Applicant file have been replaces

with more prominent blue icons for quick scrolling through records.

6. Find Applicant feature now takes you straight into the Applicant's File when the result is only one

Applicant and not multiple.

7. The right-click features to view the resume or sent an email has been removed. If this was a feature you

were using and want to maintain, this should be added to the Applicant Pop-Up feature via the Admin >

Page Builder section. Adding this will allow the user to hover of the Applicant's name from any page and

see this information.

8. Applicant Note & Applicant Correspondence pages have been re-designed to consolidate the entries for

quick access to the desired record. In addition, there is a details column which is a hover-over field where

the user can quickly see the details without having to edit the individual record.

9. Requisition Note pages have been re-designed to consolidate the entries for quick access to the desired

record. In addition, the note name has been changed into a hover-over field where the user can quickly

values.

11. Main page of the Requisition has been updated to display maximum amount of information quickly.

addition, the drop-down menu items have been expanded for each section to provide quick access to

other pages within that section.

13. The Careers Portal has changes in three ways

a. The Job Browsing & Job Description tabs have been combined

b. The double selection pick list for statuses and posting locations for the careers site has been

removed. See below for new posting rules and process.

c. Self Service has been moved into the Careers Portal section of the Admin > Website

configuration. Instead of a drop-down list for navigation, the Admin will see a summary of all

pages for the Self Service module and whether the page is activated for the Applicant or the

Employee view. Upon editing the page additional settings (messages, fields, etc.) are available.

14. Applicant, Requisition and Admin Pages have been reviewed and the icons associated with actions have

been updated. Please use this cheat sheet as a quick reference.

REQUISITIONS

PROCESSES

1. CLIENT IMPACT: The fields used to determine the job posting have been changed. This is a significant

change as the field for 'Posted' has been removed and the determination is now based on the status of

the requisition and the following date fields. Any status with the code beginning with OPEN or the code O

will be considered a viable job to post out to the Careers or Agency Portals. The system will then use the

following fields to determine when to post to the company-wide job listing page or to the applicant and

employee views of the self service module. If a date is left blank the system will automatically post to the

website based solely on the status of the requisition.

Date Posted Internally = Date the job should be seen by employees in the Self Service module

Date Posted Externally = Date the job should be seen on the company-wide job listing page as well as

the applicant view of the Self Service Module.

Remove Posting = Date the job should be or was removed from posting

To make this process easier and automate, a new tab has been added to the Req Creation Process via the

Page Builder section. This section is used in conjunction with the 'Auto Open' field. If this field is set to

yes, then when the approval process is complete, the status will change to the designated status, the

open date will be completed and the organization can specific when the remaining posting date should be

effective. For example, if the job should be posted for 3 days after the approval of the opening but before

the external posting, the Admin will be able to configure this as part of the creation process.

2. Upon closing a requisition, if the eQuest job posting feature is being used, eQuest will be notified to

remove the job from all job boards.

NOTE: This is not currently part of the New Hire Process. So, if you are using eQuest and the New

Hire Process, be sure to leave the requisition open as part of the On-Boarding and then to

manually close via the requisition Main page. Expansion of this feature will be included in

version 7.2.

APPLICANT PROCESSES & VIEWS

ONLINE APPLICATION

1. If using the Advanced Import (aka Parsing) feature, an organization specific message can be posted out to

the applicant. After upgrading, this message should be completed if the feature is activated. The

message is stored on the Contact Information page of the Online Application setup in the Careers Portal

section of Admin > Website

2. If using the eOffer process, the Applicants will now see ‘I Accept’ and ‘I Decline’ when responding

3. If using the Advanced Import (aka Parsing) feature, the required fields which are currently nested inside

records (degree for education, for example) are now required. This will prevent an applicant from passing

by the education page simply because there are records on the page and will require the applicant to

complete all pieces of the application.

NOTE: In order for this feature to operate correctly, the applicant view the pages included in the online

application must be set to UPDATE.
