What Alfa writes back to Oracle Recruiting Cloud
- Applicants. When screening finishes, Alfa sends each applicant whose status you map to a Oracle Recruiting Cloud stage, with their name, email address and, where Alfa has them, phone number and LinkedIn profile. Their resume goes with them.
- Notes. We have not yet confirmed whether Oracle Recruiting Cloud accepts notes through this integration. If it does, Alfa adds the score and screening results as notes.
- Stages. Candidates you have already shortlisted when Alfa sends them go to the stage you map for Shortlisted. Applicants marked Suitable or Not suitable go where Oracle Recruiting Cloud puts new applications: mapping their status to a stage tells Alfa to send them to the linked job, but does not place them in that stage. When a job has its own pipeline, Alfa uses the stage with the same name in that job.
- Later changes. If you shortlist a candidate after Alfa has sent them, Alfa moves them to your Shortlisted stage in Oracle Recruiting Cloud.
- Applicants you do not sync. In Alfa's ATS settings you can choose a Oracle Recruiting Cloud job for applicants who are not synced. Alfa then adds applicants whose status is set to Don't sync to that job, where Oracle Recruiting Cloud puts new applications, so you keep them in Oracle Recruiting Cloud. Only applicants who apply after you choose the job are added. If you later shortlist one of them and Shortlisted is mapped to a stage, Alfa also sends them to the job they applied for.
- Sourced candidates. If you map Sourced potential candidates to a stage, Alfa also sends sourced candidates who have an email address, in that stage. Rejected and removed candidates are not sent, and sending them does not start any outreach.
What Alfa reads from Oracle Recruiting Cloud
- Open jobs. Alfa lists your open Oracle Recruiting Cloud jobs, up to the 250 most recently opened, so you can link each Alfa job to its Oracle Recruiting Cloud job.
- Pipeline stages. Alfa reads your Oracle Recruiting Cloud stages so you can choose where each Alfa status goes.
- Your hiring history. If you turn on Search your ATS history, Alfa copies the candidates and applications in Oracle Recruiting Cloud, with their resumes, so you and Lisa can search everyone you have considered before. The first copy can take a few hours.
