Workforce Intelligence Key Concepts for Recruiting and Hiring

To enable you to get the most out of Workforce Intelligence iRecruitment reports, you need to understand the following key concepts:

Recruiting and Hiring PMV reports

Budget Measurement Types for KPIs

All predefined KPIs consider only those vacancies which have values set up for the Budget Measurement Type of HEAD for headcount, and FTE for Full Time Equivalent.

Note: You set Budget measurement values by using the Lookup type of BUDGET_MEASUREMENT_TYPE on the HRMS Requisition and Vacancy window.

To see the success of your recruitment for all vacancies, you must use the same Budget Measurement Type for all vacancies.

Percentage Recruitment Success

To compare actual recruitment success against your target, the reports define recruitment success as the percentage of vacancies filled compared to openings.

Vacancies

The reports calculate vacancies by totaling the Budget Measurement Value of the relevant vacancies within the time dimension of the target.

Filled Vacancies

The reports calculate filled vacancies total by totaling the workforce created to fill the vacancies. The reports calculate workforce by using assignments. They calculate the worth of each assignment by using the Budget Measurement Value or, if a value does not exist, the predefined Oracle FastFormula for Headcount and FTE.

Guidelines for Recruitment Targets

Use the following guidelines when setting up targets for the HRI Recruitment Success (Starts) Status KPI and HRI Recruitment Success (Starts) with Job Category Status KPI:

Do not set up Above Target values.

Key Concepts for iRecruitment

If you use the iRecruitment within Workforce Intelligence for Recruiting and Hiring, you need to understand the following key concepts:

iRecruitment Licenses and Responsibilities

To use the iRecruitment reports you must have an Oracle iRecruitment license, but do not need an HRMSi license.

You can view the PMV reports by using one of the following responsibilities:

iRecruitment PMV Reports

The iRecruitment Performance Management Viewer (PMV) reports allow you to report by organization (Org) or manager (Mgr) hierarchies. The reports contain two graphs that display your results in different formats. The first shows the actual values, and the second shows the values as a percentage values for the View By Parameter that you select. For example, when you run the Applicant Efficiency (Hires - Organization Hierarchy) Status report, the application shows the graphical representation of actual value in the Fill (Days) and Fill to Start (Days) columns. The percentage graph displays the Fill percentage value calculated as (Fill (Days)/Start Days) * 100. The Start (Days) value is the sum total of the values in the Fill (Days) and Fill to Start (Days) columns.

The following concepts enable you to accurately interpret the results of the Oracle iRecruitment PMV reports.

Parameters in iRecruitment PMV Reports

This section describes all the parameters available in iRecruitment PMV reports, and how to use them effectively. Which parameters you see, depends on which report you are viewing. See the individual report descriptions for details of which parameters are available for a specific report.

You can control the output of the reports and the linked reports by selecting values from the parameter lists. Every time you change a report parameter, the reports automatically refresh the data, so that you view only the business information you are interested in.

Parameters are one of the following two types:

Reporting Period

Use this parameter to restrict report data for a specific period. The report type displays vacancies with a start date between these entered dates.

Organization Hierarchy

This parameter in the organization hierarchy reports displays a list of organization hierarchy names and versions in your business group. Use this parameter to view data for a specific organization hierarchy.

Top Manager

This parameter in the manager hierarchy reports displays a list of Recruitment Managers. Use this parameter to select the Recruitment Manager you want at the top of the manager hierarchy.

Recruitment Manager is a concept in iRecruitment. You create a Recruitment Manager by entering a name in the Manager field of the Enter/Update vacancy page in iRecruitment.

The Top Manager parameter list of values should not be confused with a list of Recruiters (enterable in Oracle HRMS only), or a list of Employee Supervisors, as they are not the same as Recruitment Managers (although a person may perform one, more, or all of these roles).

Top Organization

This parameter selects the node of the organization hierarchy from which to restrict the results. If subordinate organizations exist within the organization hierarchy, then the reports displays results for those subordinate organizations. In addition displayed values are affected by the View By parameter selection.

Recruiter

This parameter displays a list of current employees who have been a vacancy recruitment manager at any point in time in your enterprise. You create a Recruiter by entering a name in the Recruiter field of the Enter/Update vacancy page in iRecruitment.

Vacancy

This parameter lists vacancies. The vacancy list includes only those vacancies created using iRecruitment and not Oracle HRMS.

View By

This single-select parameter enables you to change the category by which you view your report data. The View By value affects the first column of your reports, enabling you to compare your data across a different set of criteria. The categories available in the View By parameter vary across reports. See the individual report description for details.

You can select from the following View By categories:
