The first step in creating a job posting template is to select the contingent type. Contingent Types define the rules, settings, and defaults that are available in job posting templates.
They are chosen on the first page of the job posting template setup page, called the Details page. The options available in the Contingent Type dropdown menu depend on what has previously been configured for the organization. The Standard type is a default template created when the SAP Fieldglass tenant has been configured. All others are customized types, configured separately.
After the contingent type has been selected, you would enter the base information. The base information—which is entered in the Details section—determines the specifics of the position it is representing, determining such things as the contingent type, the category of the position, job code, and labor type, among others.
| 1 | Labor Types are clusters of the most common job types that have been determined using industry-wide standards. They impact the availability of associated job postings and templates and can drive the routing of postings to certain suppliers. A labor type is required on a job posting template, but the list of labor types is preconfigured in SAP Fieldglass so they cannot be edited or deleted, and new types cannot be added. |
| 2 | Qualifications are skills, attributes, or experiences required or desired for specific roles. They help employers define the competencies, duration of experience, and proficiency levels necessary for a job. They are optional on job posting templates, but must be configured before the template can be created. Qualification must be associated with a Qualification Category before they can be used in transactions, so they must be configured as well before creating the job posting template. |
The configuration of the Details page of the job posting template determines what information will be required on the Details page of the job posting itself.
