Features

Enhancement of Integration with E-Recruiting

This business function enhances the step in which the HR Administrator selects the appropriate process for processing the data transmitted from E-Recruiting to the HR system as follows:

  • If the system does not find any inconsistencies when checking the transmitted data, the HR Administrator can continue to run a process for the suggested request.

  • If the system cannot make the decision about the request to select, or about the affected personnel number, and the HR Administrator has to make this decision, the HR Administrator receives a new additional view.

    Example Example

    For a hire request, the system checks whether the name and date of birth of the candidate match an employee already in the HR system. If this is the case, the HR Administrator must decide whether to request a hire or a transfer.

    End of the example.

    In the new view, the HR Administrator can perform the following activities:

    • Select Type of Request

      • Rehire Request from E-Recruiting

      • Transfer Request from E-Recruiting

    • Find Employees

      In the HR system, the HR Administrator can search for a person or personnel number, and select a different personnel number for the process to the personnel number suggested. After this step, the HR Administrator can select the appropriate process for hiring, rehiring, or transferring. Before this, the system checks whether the combination of the selected request type and personnel number is permitted.

    • Reject Message

      The HR Administrator can specify a reason to reject the request from E-Recruiting .

For more information, see NewHire in the description of the Hire Request In communication step.
