Steps: Set Up Veteran's Preference for Recruiting

  • Opt in to the
    External Career Site Apply Flow Improvements
     feature through the
    Maintain Feature Opt-Ins
     report.
  • Configure the list of veteran’s preferences for the United States of America on the
    Maintain Veteran's Preferences
     task.
You can configure the apply flow for U.S. jobs to include a section for external candidates to claim their veteran’s preference with their job application.
An adjudicator can determine the credibility of a candidate’s veteran’s preference.
You can configure the candidate list grid to include veteran’s preference data for recruiters to consider while reviewing applications.
  1. Edit Domain Security Policies.
    Edit these domain security policies in the Recruiting functional area:
    • Candidate Data: Veterans Preference
    • Process: Adjudicate Candidate Information
  2. Access the
    Edit External Career Site
     task.
    In the the
    Apply - Personal Information (U.S.)
     section, add and configure these fields to the
    Personal Information - U.S.
     grid:
    • Veteran’s Preference
    • Veteran’s Preference Attachments
    Security:
    Set Up: Career Sites
     domain in the Recruiting functional area.
  3. Create a custom grid for adjudicators to review claimed veteran’s preferences.
  4. Access the
    Maintain Candidate List Assignment
     task.
    Select the custom grid in the
    Job Application Adjudication Grid

    Security:

     domain in the Recruiting functional area.
  5. (Optional) Configure the candidate list grid to include veteran’s preference fields for recruiters to view candidates’ claimed or adjudicated veteran’s preferences.
Candidates applying to a U.S.-based position on the external career site can claim their veteran’s preference and upload up to 5 supporting documents on the Voluntary Disclosures page of their application.
Veteran’s preference data won’t be stored on the candidate profile. Once an external candidate submits their application, they won’t be able to change their veteran’s preference.
Adjudicators can use the
Adjudicate Active Candidate Information
 report to adjudicate the candidates’ veteran’s preferences.
