Oracle have announced the new features that will be coming in Release 24C. Given Oracle’s move towards Redwood, it’s not surprising that there are a number of Redwood features for Oracle Recruiting Cloud (ORC) in this release. Whilst there hasn’t been a definitive date announced for when ORC will be mandatory in Redwood, it is likely to be soon and these features are another step on the journey.
The first area that has moved to Redwood is for candidates. Both the Candidate List page and Candidate Details page have moved to the Redwood toolset. The Candidate List page is where you search for candidates. In addition to the functionality that is available in the Responsive pages, there are some new features in the Redwood version. These include a new summary view for the list of Prospect and Event Audience Lists and the addition of new filters for Pool Members, Prospects and Event Audience.
The Candidate Details page has also moved to Redwood. The layout has changed with the introduction of several tabs. The ‘Details’ tab contains all the candidate’s key information including personal details, CV, previous employment etc. The ‘Screening’ tab lists the completed assessments for the candidate across their job applications. The ‘Messages’ tab shows emails and text messages sent to the candidate. The ‘Activity’ tab shows any system activities related to the candidate, this includes all the requisitions, candidate pools, and events the candidate is associated with. The ‘Similar’ Candidates tab lists candidates who are similar to the candidate you’re viewing.
Oracle’s Redwood candidate page now also features AI Assist, a cutting-edge tool designed to streamline communication with candidates. By harnessing artificial intelligence, AI Assist empowers users to quickly compose personalised emails and text messages. Its advanced generative capabilities produce content that is not only ready-to-use but also tailored to the specific topic at hand. To utilise AI Assist, users simply start the process by telling the tool about the subject of their correspondence, and AI Assist takes care of crafting both the subject line and the body of the message with pertinent information.
Recruiting Activity Centre was introduced in Release 23C. One year later and Oracle are continuing to improve it. It is now possible to assign activities to all members of the Recruiting Team, including Collaborators, not just the the Recruiters and Hiring Managers as was the option previously. This change means that you can keep all members of the hiring team up to date on activities and Collaborators can access the Recruiting Activity Centre to view them.
The final feature I want to highlight is a change to the configuration of the Career Site. With the introduction of a dedicated section in the Category Tiles Element, users now have the autonomy to style each category tile on the Career Site individually. This new feature not only allows for a more detailed personalisation but also significantly elevates the site’s aesthetics and enriches the candidate’s journey through the site.
As indicated earlier, Oracle is likely to unveil additional enhancements in the upcoming Release 24C. In the event that these new features prove to be substantial, I will provide an updated blog to share the latest developments and insights.
