Application Status Service (SAP Library - Employee Self-Service (ESS) in Recruitment)

Application Status Service

Use

The Application Status service helps support a cost-effective and efficient internal recruitment procedure by allowing employees to check the status of their job applications over the intranet. This means that the human resources department is spared part of their administrative tasks (such as answering telephone enquiries).

Advantages for employers:

Costs can be saved because applicants can track their own applications on the Internet. This means that companies have fewer telephone inquiries to answer, and that they do not need to create and send letters of confirmation.

Advantages for employees:

Employees can find out the status of their application quickly and easily on the Internet. Another advantage is that they are not restricted to normal company opening hours.

Integration

Employees can call up the Application Status service using their current user ID for the intranet.

If you want to use the Applicant Status service, you must have implemented the Employment Opportunities service.

Prerequisites

Authorizations/Security

Employees can access the service using their current user ID.
