2515173 - Rules Engine in Recruiting Management - Recruiting Management

What is it?

The rules engine is a tool that enables you to create customer-specific rules. For example, you can use a rule to specify “All requisitions that are created for full time employees in the Sales organization should include a potential calculated commission of 15% of the base salary” or “All offer approvals should have a set expiration date of 30 days after the creation date of the offer approval".

You can create rules for both job requisitions and job offers, which will then be executed by the system at runtime.

Creating a Rule

1. Login to BizX application as an admin user with the necessary permissions to see the link "Configure Business Rules". If you can’t see the Configure Business Rules link, it probably means that you don’t have the authorization. Click on the link "Configure Business Rules" . Below page will be displayed.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the "Create New Rule" , A page will be displayed with options Basic, Intelligent Services Center and Position Management based on the features enabled in provisioning. RCM supports only Basic rule.
3. Choose the radio button "Basic".  Below screen will be displayed. Type in Rule Name, Rule ID, Start Date and choose the Base object either Job Requisition Template or Offer Approval template and click "Continue"
   
   
   
   
4. Clicking "Continue" button will display the page as shown below. Add "If" and "then" condition based on requisition/offer approval fields. Save the rule. Rules can be created in different locale as well.
   
   
   
   
5. If some correction is required for the rule, it can be edited by clicking the "Take Action" → "Make Correction"
6. After creating the rule the next step is to link the created rule to the template: Admin Center -> Manage Rules in Recruiting.
   The Admin user can be permitted to access Manage Rules in Recruiting through RBP. The user should have View and Edit permissions.
   RBP: Admin Center -> Manage Permission Roles -> [Permission Role] -> Permissions -> Permission settings -> Administrator Permissions -> Manage MDF Recruiting Objects -> Recruiting Rules Assignment Configuration.
   The rule can be triggered under one of the following conditions:
   1. OnInitialization of Job Requisition/ Job offer approval
   2. onSave of a Job Requisition/Job offer approval
   3. onChange of a Job Requisition/Job Offer field.
7. Once you have added the linked rule, go to either the Job Requisition or Offer Approval and verify that the values are set based on the rule condition and the relevant rule trigger.

Notes:

• The Rule will not be triggered when the action is done via an integration or through API calls.
• When using Business Rules within RCM module, field attributes are not changed, only the field values.
