Integrating SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 2.0 with Recruiting Management

SAP PRESS

by SAP PRESS

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 2.0 is compatible with Recruiting Management by default. In this post, we’ll walk through the key configuration steps for setting up this integration.

The configuration steps in this section are focused on the integration aspect of Recruiting Management and SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 2.0. Refer to the SAP Help Portal, specifically the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 2.0 implementation guide, for detailed instructions on setting up and configuring SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 2.0.

Prerequisites

Only two key prerequisites must be fulfilled to perform this integration:

Provisioning Settings for Initiating Onboarding Processes

The initiate onboarding feature acts as the trigger between Recruiting Management and SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding. To enable the onboarding integration in provisioning, follow the menu path, as shown below, go to Company Settings > Recruiting > Enable Onboarding Integration . Select the BizX Onboarding Integration (Requires BizX Onboarding) checkbox and click the Save button.

Enable Onboarding Integration

Configuring an Applicant Status as Hirable

In the application status configuration page, check whether one Hirable status and one Hired status exist in the In-Progress status group. For all other statuses, including inactive statuses (if any), set the Hirable Options setting to None . Candidates in the hirable status are onboarded. Once the onboarding is complete, their status is changed to hired. If the applicant status is configured any other way, issues may arise during the onboarding process. More than one hirable or hired status cannot exist in the applicant status talent pipeline.

Enabling Recruiting Users to Initiate Onboarding Processes

This section will outline the configuration steps required to enable recruiting users to initiate the onboarding process. Recruiting users can move a candidate through various stages during the recruitment cycle in the applicant status talent pipeline. When SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding integration is enabled, the last applicant status is typically onboarding for a hired candidate. The initiate onboarding permission is enabled for recruiting users so they can move the candidate to the next stage, i.e., onboarding process.

The permission to initiate onboarding is granted in the job requisition XML template in provisioning, which can be modified by downloading the XML file and editing the required details. In general, you won’t have access to provisioning directly. However, you do have access to the Admin Center, and system admins can grant permissions from Admin Center via the menu path Admin Center > Manage Template .

In this section, we’ll discuss the configuration steps in provisioning. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to Provisioning >Managing Recruiting and select Import/Update/Export Job Requisition Template .
  2. Export the template that needs to be changed. Open the XML template to edit its contents.
  3. To add the permission settings, add the example code shown below to the job requisition template.
