In the competitive world of recruitment, streamlining the hiring process is essential for both employers and candidates. PeopleSoft has taken another step toward enhancing the experience for external applicants by introducing a new feature in the Candidate Gateway. This latest enhancement allows applicants to submit critical personal information directly on the job offer page, simplifying the process and reducing back-and-forth communication.
What’s New?
After accepting a job offer, applicants can now conveniently enter critical personal data, including Social Security Numbers (SSN) and Dates of Birth (DOB), directly through the job offer page. This update eliminates the need for recruiters and administrators to reach out for missing information, reducing administrative time and potential errors. With this new feature, PeopleSoft makes submitting personal information seamless and secure for candidates, ensuring a smoother transition from offer acceptance to employment.
Benefits for Recruiters and Administrators
Once the applicant submits their personal details, recruiters and recruiting administrators can easily access these details via the “Manage Applicant” page. This feature not only saves time but also helps maintain a smooth and professional communication flow. The reduction in administrative tasks such as making follow-up calls for missing information enhances the recruitment experience.
Completing the Job Offer Process
With the introduction of this feature, PeopleSoft has completed its “Additional Details in Job Offer” enhancement. This update ensures that both candidates and recruiters can focus on more strategic aspects of the hiring process, such as onboarding, without worrying about incomplete personal information.

Advantages of the Enhancement: Streamlining Recruitment with PeopleSoft HCM
The new feature in PeopleSoft HCM PUM 50 brings significant advantages to both recruiters and applicants, offering improvements that enhance time efficiency, communication, data security, the candidate experience, and recruiter access. Let’s explore the key benefits:
1. Time Efficiency: Speeding Up the Hiring Process
With the introduction of the personal data section in the job offer page, candidates can quickly and easily submit their Social Security Number (SSN), Date of Birth (DOB), and other critical details. This streamlined data submission process eliminates delays associated with back-and-forth communication. As a result, recruiters can access the required information instantly, accelerating the hiring process and reducing the time it takes to move from job offer acceptance to employment. This time-saving enhancement contributes to a more efficient recruitment process.
2. Improved Communication: Simplifying Information Flow
The new update significantly improves communication between recruiters and applicants. Traditionally, recruiters would need to follow up with candidates via email or phone to request missing personal details, leading to delays and frustration. Now, applicants can submit their required information directly through the PeopleSoft Candidate Gateway, eliminating the need for additional follow-up calls or emails. This improvement streamlines communication, reducing administrative effort and allowing for a more professional interaction throughout the hiring process.
3. Data Security: Safeguarding Sensitive Information
Data security is a top priority in any recruitment process, and PeopleSoft has addressed this concern with the new feature. Applicants’ sensitive personal information, including SSN and DOB, is securely entered into the system. PeopleSoft’s advanced data security measures ensure that this information is handled safely, reducing the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access. This secure data handling helps protect both applicants and recruiters, fostering trust and compliance with privacy regulations.
4. Enhanced Candidate Experience: Convenience and Simplicity
The addition of the personal data section in the job offer page improves the candidate experience by offering a more seamless and convenient process. Applicants can now complete the necessary steps for submitting their personal details in one place, immediately after accepting the offer. This simplification not only makes the process more user-friendly but also enhances the overall experience for candidates, ensuring that they feel supported and valued throughout the hiring journey. A positive candidate experience can lead to greater applicant satisfaction and increase the likelihood of offer acceptance.
5. Seamless Recruiter Access: Focus on Strategic Tasks
Recruiters no longer have to spend valuable time chasing down missing personal information from applicants. Once candidates submit their details through the enhanced job offer page, recruiters can access this information instantly via the Manage Applicant page in PeopleSoft. This seamless access allows recruiters to focus on more critical tasks, such as evaluating candidates and moving them through the recruitment pipeline. The reduced administrative burden results in a more efficient recruitment workflow that allows recruiters to optimize their time and resources.
Conclusion: A Comprehensive Enhancement for Modern Recruiting
The latest feature in PeopleSoft HCM PUM 50 offers a significant upgrade to the recruitment process by enhancing time efficiency, improving communication, ensuring data security, and delivering a seamless candidate and recruiter experience. These enhancements not only make the recruitment process more efficient but also foster a positive experience for both candidates and recruiters, helping organizations streamline their hiring practices.
