TBE: Enabling General Application in Career Web Site

 

Taleo Business Edition (TBE) is Oracle's recruiting application offering for small to mid-sized companies. It does not have the full feature set available in Tale Enterprise Edition, and the system is deliberately watered down to allow quick setup and faster go-live. The system is also not well documented, and sometimes you have to hunt across the application to implement the simplest settings.

Like when we tried to turn on General Application in the Career Web Site.

1: Go to Administration -> Customize Recruit. Click on "Careers Website Pages"

2:  Edit the Job Search Pages.

3: In the next page, just unhide the two entries for "General Application" and its header section.

 

This is weird, because we expected some kind of global parameter which can be set to turn on such features. Instead, this configuration change is the only way to turn this on.
