It is not unusual for large organizations to receive hundreds of job applications in response to one job advertisement. In addition to reviewing applications manually, companies typically generate confirmation letters, rejection letters, and so on. Also, applicants frequently telephone organizations to check the status of their job application.

The Application Status Web application is an Internet Application Component (IAC).

It helps support a cost-effective and efficient recruitment procedure by allowing applicants to check the status of their job applications over the Internet. This enables you to dispense with a part of your administrative duties.

The SAP System assigns applicant numbers and passwords to external applicants upon submission of their application.

If you want to use this IAC, you have to work through all of the Customizing activities that would normally also be necessary for setting up the Recruitment application component.

Recruitment data is output via the Internet Transaction Server. The data is written to the Internet Server from the R/3 system. There, it is formatted and presented in HTML standard format on a special output screen.

Graphics and forms for this IAC are provided with the standard system. You can, however, change the screen layout (background, or text colors, for example) and insert graphics of your own by changing the HTML templates.

The HTML templates for the Application Status IAC are as follows:
