Why I picked it

External candidates can start a job application in a Career Coach conversation, including by SMS and WhatsApp, giving basic information and answering your prescreening questions.

Where it helps

A high-volume recruiting team tests the messaging application with a short prescreening set before switching it on.

What to do now

  1. Check which application flows use blocks beyond basic information and prescreening questions.
  2. Set up the Text Assistant for SMS or WhatsApp.
  3. Apply to a test job by message and check the application arrives complete.
  4. Check what web candidates see: Oracle says they get an apply link.

Oracle 26D note ↗

Watch out: By message, only basic information and prescreening questions are collected. Oracle says no other application blocks are supported, so check your application flows.
