 Candidate Search

Purpose

You can use the process to search the Talent Pool for suitable candidates and then assign them to a requisition. You determine search criteria based on the requirements for potential candidates stored in the requisition. You then initiate the search and receive a results list with candidates that best fulfill these requirements. The predefined search criteria correspond to the entry fields that candidates store in their profile.

In addition to predefined search criteria, you can also search for candidates using a full-text search. The full-text search also enables you to search all information in candidates’ profiles. Depending on the system settings, you can also perform a full-text search on documents that candidates uploaded as attachments to supplement their profile.

Prerequisites

You are a member of the support team for the requisition or application group to which you want to assign candidates.

It is possible to perform a search of attachments only if the search application is configured accordingly using the Implementation Guide (IMG). See the IMG for SAP E-Recruiting under Talent Warehouse → Candidate → Candidate Search → Search Profile → Assign Attachment Types to a Search Profile Type .
