Oracle Recruiting Cloud 2025 Implementation Professional—Delta Certification: Complete Guide 2025

The delta exam is moderately challenging as it assumes you already have foundational knowledge from previous certifications. It focuses on what's new and changed in the 2025 release, requiring you to understand new features and how they integrate with existing functionality. Most candidates with hands-on experience in the 2025 release find it manageable with 4-6 weeks of focused study.

Oracle Recruiting Cloud Implementation Professionals typically earn between $95,000 and $135,000 annually, with an average around $115,000. Salary varies based on experience level, geographic location, and whether you hold multiple Oracle HCM certifications. Maintaining current certification through delta exams demonstrates commitment to staying updated with the latest features.

While Oracle recommends holding a previous Oracle Recruiting Cloud Implementation Professional certification (2023 or 2024 version), it is not technically required. However, the delta exam assumes you have comprehensive knowledge of Oracle Recruiting Cloud fundamentals and focuses only on new 2025 features, making it extremely difficult without prior certification and experience.

Oracle professional-level certifications, including delta certifications, do not expire. However, Oracle releases new versions annually, and maintaining relevance in the job market typically requires staying current through delta exams or recertification as new versions are released.
