Oracle is more deeply integrating its cloud-based HR applications with LinkedIn as the two companies work together to make it easier for employers to find, hire, and train qualified job candidates.
This integration and data-sharing relationship was forged amid intense global competition to attract the most talented workers, says Nagaraj Nadendla, an Oracle group vice president charged with development of the company’s cloud recruiting software. “Every job candidate, internal or external, hopes to get found, and this agreement will help that happen,” Nadendla says.
The new integrations between LinkedIn and Oracle HCM (Human Capital Management) Cloud and Oracle Taleo Enterprise Edition include:
• Talent Profile Import: Allows employees interested in jobs in other parts of the company to import key elements of their LinkedIn profiles into their Oracle HCM Cloud Talent Profile.
• Recommended Matches and Embedded Search: Lets recruiters easily search LinkedIn to identify those members that best match a job requisition or project within Oracle Recruiting Cloud and Taleo Enterprise Edition.
• Referral Recommendations: Lets candidates apply for a job via Oracle Recruiting Cloud or Taleo Enterprise Edition, and identify and contact (via InMail) their LinkedIn connections who can best refer them for that job.
• Recruiter System Connect: Allows LinkedIn Recruiter users to consolidate and view recruitment data—such as a candidate’s application, when a job posting was created, or when a candidate’s profile was last updated—from Oracle Recruiting Cloud, Taleo Enterprise Edition, and LinkedIn.
• Learning Integration: Ties together Oracle Learning Cloud and LinkedIn Learning courses to promote career development.
This unique collaboration will help organizations “identify talented people quickly, engage with and evaluate them, and bring them on board,” Nadendla says. Oracle and LinkedIn announced the relationship on October 10 at the LinkedIn Talent Connect conference in Anaheim, California.
“The world of work is rapidly changing, and this is creating new opportunities and challenges for talent leaders,” said Scott Roberts, LinkedIn vice president of business development, in a statement. “We are excited to be working with Oracle to create better solutions to make hiring and developing talent as seamless and effective as possible.”
