The IRC_REC_TEAM_MEMBERS table in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) versions 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 is a critical data structure within the iRecruitment module, which facilitates the recruitment and hiring processes. This table stores information about team members involved in the recruitment process, such as recruiters, hiring managers, and interview panelists. Below is a detailed analysis of its purpose, structure, key columns, and functional significance.

Purpose and Context

The IRC_REС_TEAM_MEMBERS table is part of Oracle's iRecruitment solution, designed to streamline talent acquisition by managing recruitment workflows, candidate evaluations, and team collaborations. It maintains records of individuals assigned to recruitment teams, ensuring proper role-based access and responsibilities during hiring activities. This table supports functionalities like interview scheduling, feedback collection, and approval workflows.

Table Structure and Key Columns

The table consists of several columns that define team member attributes and their relationship to recruitment processes. Key columns include:
  • TEAM_MEMBER_ID – Primary key, uniquely identifying each team member record.
  • TEAM_ID – Foreign key referencing IRC_REC_TEAMS, linking members to specific recruitment teams.
  • PERSON_ID – References PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F, associating the team member with an employee or contingent worker.
  • ROLE_CODE – Defines the member's role (e.g., "RECRUITER," "HIRING_MANAGER," or "INTERVIEWER").
  • STATUS – Indicates whether the member is active (e.g., "ACTIVE" or "INACTIVE").
  • CREATION_DATE and LAST_UPDATE_DATE – Audit columns tracking record creation/modification timestamps.
  • CREATED_BY and LAST_UPDATED_BY – Audit columns identifying users who modified the record.

Functional Significance

  1. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): The ROLE_CODE column ensures team members have appropriate permissions (e.g., recruiters can post jobs, while interviewers submit feedback).
  2. Workflow Integration: The table integrates with Oracle Workflow to route approvals (e.g., hiring manager approvals for job offers).
  3. Collaboration: Facilitates communication among team members via notifications and task assignments.
  4. Reporting: Supports analytics on recruitment efficiency, such as time-to-hire metrics per team.

Integration with Other Modules

The table interacts with:
  • HRMS (PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F): Links team members to employee data.
  • IRC_REC_TEAMS: Defines the team structure.
  • IRC_REC_REQUISITIONS: Associates teams with job requisitions.

Customization Considerations

Customizations may include:
  • Extending ROLE_CODE values to accommodate unique organizational roles.
  • Adding columns for supplemental attributes (e.g., secondary roles).
  • Creating triggers or APIs to enforce business rules (e.g., mandatory interview panel size).

Conclusion

The IRC_REC_TEAM_MEMBERS table is a foundational component of Oracle iRecruitment, enabling structured team management and seamless recruitment workflows. Its design supports scalability, auditability, and integration with core HR modules, making it indispensable for organizations leveraging Oracle EBS for talent acquisition.
