Scheduled position publishing

• Default On

This feature introduces advanced scheduling capabilities for internal and external job postings within the Eightfold Talent Acquisition platform. Recruiters can now set exact start and end dates for job postings, allowing for automated publishing workflows. It eliminates the need for manual posting and unposting, ensuring jobs go live and are removed automatically at scheduled times.

This feature significantly reduces manual effort, improves job posting consistency, and improves the candidate experience through structured and predictable job availability.

Requirements

• Candidate Experience (PCS) integration is required

• Currently, this feature is supported only on Eightfold Talent Tracking and SuccessFactors

Needs addressed

• Previously, recruiters had to post jobs manually and then remember to post them externally later, or unpost them. There was a lack of a ‘schedule’ option for publishing jobs, which were carried out almost instantaneously upon user action.

• Recruiters can now set up the entire posting schedule once, and the system automatically handles publishing and unpublishing. The feature allows recruiters to set exact start and end dates for both internal and external job postings at creation.

Impact on existing workflows

• This feature isn't applicable for external job postings directly to all job boards. It currently only supports Candidate Experience. External job board-specific scheduling (For example, eQuest integration) will be handled separately through those integrations.

• Currently, job posting/unposting is implemented only for SuccessFactors and Talent Tracking ATSs.

Initial setup

This feature will be available to customers by default. Customers don't need to do anything to see this change in their Eightfold environment by the sandbox and GA dates.
