Objective
After completing this lesson, you will be able to Summarize how to use SAP Recruiting to identify candidates to fill vacant positions.
SAP Recruiting supports the whole recruiting process from requirement to hiring a person. The recruiting process starts with defining requisition details, for example, when a position becomes vacant and a replacement is required.
SAP Recruiting consists of the following main steps:
The SAP Recruiting process includes the following:
SAP Recruiting has a predefined set of roles. All roles involved in the recruitment process (such as managers, administrators, recruiters, candidates, and so on) can access the SAP Recruiting solution. Each of these roles has its own authorization profile and interface (portal page).
The recruiter role has most of the recruiting functionality. This role is used to manage open registrations. A requisition starts the process in SAP Recruiting. This can be initiated by the manager or the recruiter.
Activity management allows the recruiters to keep track of the activities that have been arranged or need to be arranged for candidates. Correspondence can be automated or manually executed for the applicant activities for candidates. A requisition can be processed using various roles.
This role allows managers to start the requisition to fill a vacancy.
A manager or recruiter starts the requisition process in SAP Recruiting. A manager can use applicant tracking to keep track of the activities that have been arranged or need to be arranged for candidates. Correspondence can be automated or manually executed for the applicant activities for candidates in SAP Recruiting.
Administrators are key users who have reporting options and special authorizations for the recruiting process. One of their tasks is to manage the various candidates in the talent pool. An administrator can manage unverified candidates, who have not confirmed their email address.
Applications can come from both external candidates and internal employees. When applying for a position, candidates are led through a wizard where they can enter their personal information, such as contact information, work experience, education, and qualifications. The candidate can also upload a résumé.
They can search for all openings or for specific reference codes. Candidates can access their profile after completing the application process using their user ID and password.
The requisition is a formal order to fill one or more job vacancies. A requisition starts the recruiting process and can be processed using various roles. For example, managers or recruiters can log on to the SAP Recruiting system and initiate a requisition.
A requisition is viewed as the internal document, in which the recruiter or manager perform the following:
After the requisition is released, it is associated with one or more postings. A posting will hold the actual text seen at the publication stage. A posting is associated with one or more publications, which is the channel (or location) where that posting will be found.
Manager Self-Service (MSS) and Recruiting can be integrated. In other words, managers can start the requisition for a new vacancy directly from within MSS or create a requisition request online in SAP Recruiting.
It is possible to use Recruiting as a standalone solution, as well as integrating with Organizational Management.
SAP Recruiting uses the organizational structure, such as organizational unit, position, and job, as the basis for the requisition or just to determine the number of positions. A data overview can show information coming from Organizational Management, such as Organization Management links, infotypes, objects, and important relationships.
You can use the following integration options between SAP Recruiting and SAP ERP HCM:
Internal and external applicants (candidates) have access to online services to apply for the publications, which is the last step of Requisition Management. SAP Recruiting supports a role for the internal candidates as well as for the external candidates.
Recruiting Marketing will ensure that the company configures their internet and intranet worksites, to attract both internal and external candidates.
This is the administration of the applications, supporting the searching of the applications to find the right person for the requisition.
The first review of the applications will be through an ABC analysis to decide which candidates are really interesting, for which candidates you require more information, and ones that do not fit with the requirements of the requisition.
Activity management supports the many activities, for example:
The purpose of Talent Management is to build up a talent pool to foster long term relationships with applicants. The talent pool serves as the central database for internal and external applicants. Information about qualified applicants or candidates for whom the company currently has no vacancies can be used for future recruiting, once consent has been received.
The talent pool is also known as the candidate pool.
The talent pool stores data on all applicants, unsolicited applicants, interested persons registered in the pool, and data for employees (internal applicants). The talent pool is the first place recruiters search for qualified candidates. The talent pool can be segmented to create groupings of candidates such as high potentials or recent college graduates.
Recruiters can search for suitable candidates by using search and match functionality, and can segment and classify candidates into specific talent groups.
