ORACLE HCM · AI AGENT PROFILE

Sourcing agents

A set of agents that start sourcing for you. From 26B, one watches your job requisitions on a schedule, searches for matching candidates and creates a candidate pool, and another creates a sourcing campaign, including its email. From 26C, Candidate Outreach drafts personalised emails to prospects and candidates, handles replies and sends reminders, and requisition activities in the Activity Center can start sourcing automatically. In 26D, outreach gets its own tab to track replies and follow-ups.

Where it helps

A requisition has had no applications lately. The Activity Center triggers the sourcing agent, which builds a campaign for the recruiter to review and activate.

My take

MY PRACTITIONER VIEW

This is where AI starts deciding who gets a look-in. Pools and campaigns are created for you, so check who they include and who they leave out, not just how many.

What it won't do

  • It doesn't create a campaign unless it finds 1,000 or more matching candidates, or if the requisition already has one (26B).
  • Campaigns don't go live until someone activates them, which gives you the chance to review and edit them (26B).
  • Outreach emails aren't sent until the recruiter selects Send, and a recruiter can select up to 10 people at a time (26C).
  • Outreach skips anyone without a valid email address, anyone who has opted out of marketing emails, and anyone marked Not Recommended for Rehire (26C).
  • Activity Center sourcing only runs for requisitions that aren't in draft and aren't yet posted (26C).

Good first agent?

No. It creates pools and contacts people, which shapes who gets considered.

Risk level: Higher. It decides which candidates are found, pooled and contacted, which shapes who is considered for a job.

Before you switch it on

  1. How will you check who pools and campaigns include, and who they miss?
  2. Who reviews campaign emails before activation?
  3. How will you monitor replies the agent handles?

Setup at a glance

Open Setup at a glance for the setup steps. Select the agent's type label to see what that type means.

Test it after each update

For Oracle Fusion Applications, non-production (test) quarterly updates follow the weekend after the first Friday of the update month; production follows the weekend after the third Friday. Run these checks after the test update and before production, and verify your tenant's exact dates in Oracle update notifications.

  • Run the pool agent on a test requisition and check who's in the pool against the requisition.
  • Check a new campaign stays inactive until someone activates it.
  • Start outreach to a test prospect and check nothing is sent before Send, and that a reply is handled or becomes a follow-up task.

Watch out

Oracle's note doesn't say whether the agent's automated replies to outreach responses are reviewed before they're sent (26C). Outreach is marked Completed after a reply, or after 14 days without activity (26C).

How it's changed

26B candidate pools and campaigns; 26C Candidate Outreach and Activity Center sourcing; 26D outreach tab with reply summaries and up to three reminders.

Recruiting inbox agents

Two agents that work on your recruiting mailbox. The Inbox Response Agent (26B) answers candidates' emails using your policy and process documents, in the language the candidate wrote in, and passes anything it can't answer to the recruiter. The Inbox Document Processing Agent (26C) takes attachments from candidate emails, sorts them into your document types, and saves a copy to the candidate profile or job application.

Job requisition agents

Two agents that help when creating a job requisition in Redwood. The Job Requisition Creation Agent (26A) is a question-and-answer helper: it answers general and field-specific questions about creating a requisition, based entirely on the documents you upload and the prompt you configure. From 26C, the Recruiting Job Requisition Posting Description Agent powers AI Assist on the requisition, generating the Short Description, Description, Responsibilities and Qualifications.
