Configure Job Application Templates

In Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration, in the Template Configuration tab, you can create and manage the job application templates that are used when creating job postings in Recruiting > Job Requisitions, in the Postings tab.

In the Template Configuration tab, you can do the following:

• Add Job Application Templates
• Copy Job Application Templates
• Edit Job Application Templates
• Delete Job Application Templates
• View Job Application Template Previews

Notes:

• The sections you include in a template define the options that candidates can select in the How to Apply step of the job application, as follows:
  • If you include the Resume Upload section and sections for manually adding qualifications (for example, Employment History), candidates can apply using any of the available methods (Upload Resume, Create Your Resume, or Apply with LinkedIn).
  • If you include the Resume Upload section and don’t include sections for manually adding qualifications, candidates can use only the Upload Resume or Apply with LinkedIn option.
  • If you don’t include the Resume Upload section but you do include at least one section for manually adding qualifications, candidates can use only the Create Your Resume or Apply with LinkedIn option.
• In all cases, the Apply With LinkedIn option is available only if you completed the LinkedIn integration process in Recruiting Setup > Client Properties. See Configure the LinkedIn Integration Client Property.
• When the integration is enabled, the user experience for the Apply with LinkedIn option varies as follows:
  • If you include at least the Employment History or Education History section in the template, the information parsed from LinkedIn is populated in the relevant sections. Candidates can edit or add information in the section as required.
  • If you exclude these sections, Candidates cannot edit the information that is parsed from LinkedIn to the relevant section. The data goes straight to the job application.
• The custom questionnaire sections that you assign to a template appear for all candidates, regardless of how they apply.
• Candidate profiles contain additional headers for default sections (for example, Training) that aren't available to assign to templates. As a result, it's recommended that you include the Resume Upload section and not sections that are used for manually entering qualifications (such as, Employment History). This will require candidates to upload a resume to apply for a job, the parser can then collect all qualifications listed in the resume, including for sections that aren't yet available, such as their training.
• Sections in the job application are displayed to candidates in the order that they're added to the template. However, when candidates apply using the Resume Upload option, Dayforce displays the sections containing parsed data before any other sections in the template.
