Configuring Create New Hires

  • Dark
    Light

Article summary

Abstract

Onboarding managers with access permissions can create new hires directly within the Onboard Manager application.

Onboarding managers use the Create New Hire button on the My Tasks page in Onboard Manager. This launches the Create New Hire page and onboarding managers can complete all the required* fields and maybe optional fields and then save. Once the new hire logs onto Onboard, the hire will appear on the Currently Onboarding page in Onboard Manager as a part of the new hire list.

Note

Previously, Talent Suite supported only the editing of personal information of a new hire that had been imported into the Talent Suite via integration with the Onboard Configuration application or the BrassRing application.

Assign Capabilities - New Hire Management

Abstract

Administrators must assign the following capabilities to allow a selected user type to see the Create New Hire button and proceed to create new hires.

Infinite Talent Acquisition Suite user type permissions are regrouped under a single category, New Hire Management. The single category enables configuration engineers to identify and enable required Onboard features easily for clients.

Previously, on the Manage Users: User Type screen, there were the following seven permissions categories: Job Requisitions, Applicants, Administration, Screens & Assessment, Activities, Tasks, and Reports.

Now, there are three permissions categories: New Hire Management, Administration, and Reports.

Reports and Administration settings remain common to both the Talent Suite and Onboard Configuration applications.

On the System Configuration: Manage System Settings screen, in Onboard Settings, the Enable Talent Suite Configurations check box must be selected to display New Hire Management.

To switch back to Onboard Configuration (and view the seven permissions categories), go to the Manage Users: User Type screen, and select the Show Legacy Capabilities check box. Note: There is no need to switch back to Onboard Configuration. The New Hire Management category contains all needed functionality.

The Assign Capabilities configuration is performed as follows.

  1. In the Global Toolbar, display the Settings menu and then select Settings.

  2. Select the Users tab.

  3. Display the Show drop-down list and then select User Types.

  4. Select Admin from the Settings pane to display the Admin settings page.

  5. For new hire management, select the New Hire Management link.

    Note

    Fields on the Create New Hire Profile page are not exportable.

    Important

    • Talent Suite does not allow duplicate users with same user name and email address to be created. This applies to a user that exists as a new hire and/or a hiring manager.

    • Additional fields that are configured on the Create New Hire Page screen must follow the validation rules set in the Manage Labels and Custom fields section. (for administrators)

    • Users that are allowed to create a new hire need to also be able to select an open job to create a new hire.

    • In drop-down lists, keep your options to 35 characters (including spaces) or less to avoid truncation. If more than 35 characters (including spaces) are needed, it is recommended to use radio buttons.
