E-Recruiting and External Candidates

I am trying to find within E-Recruiting how an external candidate is differentiated from an internal candidate. I looked in infotype 5102 and did not see a field that indicates external versus internal candidates. Where is the field that distinguishes these? Thanks for your help.

John,
I believe the response is already posted in the forum. You can get whether a candidate is an employee or not based on the relationship 209 between CP and P. Employees will have the P relationship. 5102 is only used to check those whether those with P are inactive or not. You can check class CL_HRRCF_CANDIDATE which has the method which you can use to get the information.

E- Recruitment 600 - External candidate creation

Hi All,
I created internal candidate and iam able to view the start pages of the internal candidate.
But when followed the similar steps to create external candidate iam facing lot of issues starting from User creation. can anyone share their inputs wrt ext candidate user creation and its related portal page.
thanks in advance.
kind regards

Hello Sai,
of course you are right that the standard functions to create an external candidte differ from creating an internal one. In the production scenarios there are basically 3 ways to create an external candidate:
- The candidate uses the registration where he registers to the candidate pool without actually applying to a position
- The candidate uses the unregistered search and applies for a position. In the process of applying the candidate is created
- The recruiter uses the minimum data entry functionality accessable through a link on his startpage to enter a hardcopy application into the system
These 3 scenarios are available for creating the external candidate but each of them requires a certain amount of configuration (e.g. unregistered search requires a properly set up TREX search engine) which usually takes some time.
On the very beginning of a project when the servers are installed and the basic configurations have been done, I usually test all standard start pages to see if the basic settings are ok. In this case all I want is the ability to log in and call the startpages. Then I use the described approach to just give an internal candidate which is usually my test user the authorization for the external startpage and I set the username as Alias so I can call the page. Of course next steps are creating the first requsition / posting / publication and test the application wizard (as said this requires the TREX set up or some help report to generate a direct application link). But overall for me I find it very handy to ba able to log on to all internal and external applications with my test user so I do not need to remember several logins as long I do not start testing full scenarios with applied authorization.

E-recruiting - Customizing external candidate start page with a new start p

Hi ,
I require some inputs from you on creation of new start page for external candidate.
I have a requirement to hide Age / Gender fields in the Personal data tab of the external candidate application wizard in the external candidate start page.
I Created a new start page with I.D "9001" and using customized context i was able to hide the Age and Gender fields. The URL using the customized context looked like below;
http://XXXXXX.XX.XXXXXXXXX.XXX:8053/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_ext?sap-client=300&sap-language=EN&rcfSpId=9000&rcfContext=NAEXT
The external candidate start page requires the following services assignment to a service user;
hrrcf_apply_ext: Apply with Reference Code (Non Registered Candidate)
hrrcf_cand_reg: External Candidate, Registration
hrrcf_unrg_srch: Non Registered Candidate, Job Search
The service user requires SAP standard role u201CRCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATEu201D to provide access to any external candidate to do a job search and register. This role in standard would have application object u201C0002u201D u2013 Standard external candidate start page I.D which would provide access to the start page.
We have cloned the role to include the customized application object u201C9001u201D and have assigned it to the service user.
But even after doing this i get an error message when trying to execute the URL in IE which reads "You do not have the required authorisation to use this start page"
Iam not sure if iam missing anything on the authorisation part. Please advise.
Thanks
G Raj

Hello G Raj,
it seems you are mixing some things up. The service user is only for all parts of the e-recruiting which are accessable without logging in. This includes services linked to the unregistered search and the registration (where the applicant creates his candidate / his login). The service user is no candidate and has a special role (must not have a candidate object or the candidate authorization role).
As soon as someone logs into the system, e.g. to his start page, he acts as candidate. Depending on his relation to a P object he is either an external or an internal candidate.
In your example we are talking about external candidates. These candidates get a reference user assigned on candidate creation which is customized for the external candidate role (here the e-recruiting role) in IMG. Usually it is called RCF_CAND_EXT. The SAP delivery role (here the authorization role) this reference user gets is SAP_RCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATE (as long as you are using BSP). You have to copy this role to a customer one and replace the value 0002 of auth object P_RCF_APPL (Application in E-Recruiting) by your customer one 9000.
Then everything should work fine.
Best regards

E-Recruiting - Transfer External Candidate to Internal Candidate

We are running E-Recruiting 3.0 as a stand-alone system not connected to our R/3 4.6C system and I am trying to find out how to switch an external candidate over to an internal candidate once hired. I see from a previous post that there is a process to do this if the two systems are connected, but I have found nothing for a stand-alone environment. I wil also need to know how to do the reverse (if an employee leaves we want their candidate profile to be switched over to an external candidate if they choose.)
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Leeanna Travis

Travis,
You can do it in the following manner.
first, create an RFC program with all the candidate data. Pass this data to the hiring action Tx code in HR system. You get basic infotype data from the E-rec.
So it should be possible.
for the second one , you should mark those employees who leave on a periodic basis (hopefully daily). then these are to be transferred to E-rec again through an RFC program.
After this you can update candidate profile in E-rec with a program.
But, altogether without establishing a connection, I dont see how you do this!

Bharat

SAP E-recruiting EHP4 external candidate registration web dynpro ABAP

Hi all,
I am trying to activate the url of the web dynpro external candidate registration. we have setup the hrrcf_a_ext_cand(may be i misspelt the name) and it is fine.
Now when a user tries to register using the "REGISTER" button the application asks for another login(this is not a popup window), although anonymous user is setup for the REGISTRATION web dynpro application.
Any ideas..

Internal and External Candidate in E Recritment

Hi Gurus,
My question is concerned with E Recruitment in SAP HR.
How system identifies whether the applicant is internal or external candidate, how this thing is checked in E Recruitment.
Regards,
Adesh

Hello Adesh,
every person acting in sap e-recruiting (applicant, recruiter, hiring manager) has to be a candidate (objecttype NA). To determine if a candidte is an internal or an external one the system first checks whether the central person (object type CP) which is linked to the candidate object via IT1001 relation is also linked to a employee object id (object type P) via IT1001 relation.
If no relation to an employee Id is found the candidate is an external candidate. If a employee id is found the system checks IT5102 for the candidate Id. In this infotype there is the field IS_INACTIVE. If this field is set to SPACE the candidate is an internal one, if it is set to X it is an external one.
Kind Regards

How to differentiate an internal from an external candidate in E-recruiting

Hi experts,
I need your help. I'm creating a Z report to show the % of internal and external candidates who were hired or choosen in a selection process. I will have two columns the first one will show the internal candidates and the second one the external candidates. I'll also display the reasons why a candidate were reproved on the selection, for this reason I also have to separate internal from external candidates.
I've seem some threads where you say that the best way is to find the relation NA<CP<P. Is this the only way or there is any other way as a module function where I put NA and it show me if it's an internal or external candidate.
I'll really appreciate any help!
Best regards,
Thais

Hello Thais,
reportig in SAP E-Recruiting is quite difficult due to the missing historization in some infotypes. A lot of changes are not historized so it is not possible to get any other valid information than the current status. Looking back into the past is in the best case unsure in the worst impossible. External candidates become internal candidates on hiring and internal candidates become external candidates on termination, maternity leave, ....
It is very difficult to get the percentage of external und internal hirings based on e-recruiting data. It is much easier to get this from the HR core as (at least in a perfect world) you just count hiring actions and org. change actions. Of course not every org. change is usually an "internal hiring" in e-recruiting.
If you want to get these numbers purely from e-recruiting data, the best approach from my experience is getting the candidacies in hired status -> get the application for the candidacy -> get the publication for the application -> get the publication channel candidate type. This information is not changing over the time and not depending on the candidate. Restrictions of this approach are usually direct assignments from talent pool, if internal and external candidates can release their profile. If you do not request an application for the candidacy you can not determine the candidate type. Furthermore in many organizations the e-recruiting process ends with hiring the cadidate. Noone maintains rejections for the no shows so you get too many hirings from the e-recruting data. But perhaps this approach works in your scenario.
Kind Regards
PS: The method mentioned above works fine to find out if a candidate is currently an internal or external candidate. Unfortunately these methods are often to slow for mass use in reporting. So from a performance point of view reading HRP1001 relations and HRP5102 INACTIVE flag is the better solution.

EREC - Recruiter profile no change on external candidates

Hi,
Our recruiter shall not be able to change data on external candidates, but a recruiter shall be able to create internal and external candidates via his recruiter profile. When we changedthe recruiters profile in backend, he lost the ability to create internal and external candidates.
Does anyone have experience in what settings must be made and where?

hilde

hi,
there's more than one way to skin a cat . . .
- using fpm to configure the service . . .
or
- login as content admin ( enterprise portal )
- click on portal content
- sap content > specialist>recruiter-->iViews --> select the iview "external candidate management" or any other iview . .
- right click "preview"
- right click within the service --> change config
select the element you want to change / disable . . . an put everything into a transport
or
using the se80
or . . . .
hope that helps

Candidate Profile - External Candidates- Data not saving

HI All,
I have a developed a custom Web Dynpro application and added it to the Candidate Profile.
This Custom Webdynpro application is updating a custom infotype.
When I run the candidate profile application for external candidates, it does not save data in the custom infotypes but it is working(saving) fine for internal candidates.
Also I noted that there the standard Education infotype updating the standard infotype is saving data and working fine even for external candidate.
Can anyone help me on this?
Is it Infotype Authorization issue?
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Hey Nicole,
Can it be some infotype level authorizations that we need to maintain.
Because the standard application for education, updating infotype 5104 is working fine for both internal and external candidate.
But my custom application updating the custom infotype(9XXX) is working fine(i.e. saving data) for internal candidate but not for external candidate.
Thanks,
Shilpa.

E-Recruiting for external and internal candidates

Hello,
I am looking for documents/guides that can show me how to configure E-Recruiting frontend (for external candidates) to point to the integrated ECC (HR + E-Recruiting) backend, and to configure SAP Portal with ESS (for internal candidates) to point to the integrated ECC backend. I am also looking to configure Trex 7.0 for E-Recruiting. I am unable to find any documents regarding this scenario. Can anyone help me locate some material?

Hi Vishal,
There is no standard field available but this requirement can be handled through an enhancement in the specific BSP page. In your requirement it will be personal details tab in candidate profile wizard and it would also necessiate to enhance infotype HRP5102 - candidate information with this field.
You can also refer the blog below contributed by Hemendra Singh Manral to understand how to go about doing this enhancement in the BSP.

Error while registering as an External Candidate - E-Recruitment

Dear All,
When i try registering as an External Candidate , iam getting an error message "You not authorized to use this Start page". Would be thankful if you could share your inputs on required Authorization. Btw i did try giving SAPALL to RCF_CAND_EXT but still in vain
Following are the server and other details.
1. ECC on one server
2. E Recruitment on a separate server
3. Both are in enhancement pack 3
4. Backend and frontend related to webdynpro are in the same system
5. Have created RCF_Service (user) and assigned Z role related to RCF_unregistered candidate
6. Have created RCF_CAND_EXT and assigned Z role related to RCF_External candidate
7. Have maintained RCF_Service and RCF_CAND_EXT and its related role in both Parent and Child system using SU01
8. Have also assigned service user to all related services in SICF.
Note: I shal checked with the Standard role but in vain...getting the error as mentioned above
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards
Sathya
Edited by: sathya sekar on Nov 15, 2009 9:08 PM

Hi Sathya,
Please ensure RCF_CAND_EXT user u have created is a reference user and try assigning the standard role "SAP_RCF_EXTERNAL_CANDIDATE".
On registration, the registered user gets access to the external candidate start page through the reference user.

E-Recruiting: Exposure to External Candidates

Hi Experts,
We're currently in the initial phase of implementing e-Recruiting 6.0 (Integrated scenario) at a telecom client on a global scale. Following is the doubt:
Can we do away with exposing the client's e-Recruiting system to the external world/internet. Client has decided not to expose the e-Rec. system to the external world/internet. Question is so how will the external candidates search, register & apply for the jobs? A workaround is to have the external candidates' data which is currently being captured on their existing career site (non-SAP legacy) & pull the data to e-Recruiting. On this, I'm not sure how will the mapping be achieved.
Is this scenario possible through some std. functionality (we're not using PI/XI). If this solution is a Z solution, what are the efforts required for custom development? How will we intergrate SAP KRPO for storing the documents & TREX indexing etc.
Thanks in advance,
Sachin.

Hi Sachin,
Hope you are doing good.
Some pointers to exposing your PA-ER System to external candidates, This is standard security process.
Concept of DMZone:
External candidates: to register and search for vacancies available in the company, the web applications residing on the E-Recruitment system (ECC System) should be made available via internet.
Additional security to the Intranet ERP system: ERP system has to be separated from the external users using reverse proxy server configured in the DMZone (neutral zone in between Intranet and External network, which is protected by firewall) of the company, So , externally would not have direct access to the E-Recruitment system.
Exposing the IP address of E-Recruitment system: we expose the IP address of reverse proxy server for public access. Then the reverse proxy server would be configured in such a way that all the requests for E-Recruitment applications would come to the standard HTTP port XX of the reverse proxy server and the reverse proxy would take care of forwarding the requests and (transparently) sending them back as if it was the content server itself.
ISA Server 200X: the reverse proxy server has many additional features and, most of the customers prefer to implement their reverse proxy scenarios on ISA Server series.

Not able to connect to E-recruitment Screen with EXternal Candidate URL

HI., when i generate the External candidate URL., by making use of the same i am not able to connect to the portal Screen of E-recruitment.. (I am able to connect with other roles like Recruiter and Employee)
How else can i connect to the Screen to fill the application details in E-recruitment.
Regards
Madhu. K

Hi,
please make sure that your user is really an external candidate. The logon for external candidates works with the ALIAS instead of the username. Ss if you want to logon with your user as an external candidate you have to enter the username in the field ALIAS within SU01.
Cheers

E-recruitment - External Candidate page should not be allowed to enter int

Hello,
We have requirement in e-recruitment. When recruiter is entering Internal Candidate information using External Candidate site, system should check email adress (company email address), if this is matched and system should prompt with the candidate information that we already have. Do we need change the standard SAP code to implement this? or any other ways?

For the GUEST user in portal we have done usermapping to the E-Recruitment system using 'J2EE_GUEST' user in E-Rec.
In SLG1 we are gettting the following errors
An exception occurred in E-Recruiting.
CL_HRRCF_ABSTRACT_CONTROLLER==CPCL_HRRCF_ABSTRACT_CONTROLLER==CM00156
No candidate could be found for US J2EE_GUEST
The system cannot find any candidates using the data specified.

ERec: External Candidate as a Recruiter??

Hi All,
In EHP4, can we map the External Candidate as a Recruiter, bcoz our client is hiring few candiates on contract basis and want them to do the 'Recruiter' role from frontend.
But as per our Standard functionality, HR Objects can be created successfully for internal candidates only.
We created the CP in HCM system, but that CP is not transfering to E-rec system. HR Objects itself not at all transferd to E-rec system for external candidate.
Any one can share their valauble sugessions on this scenario.
Thanks,
Asha...

Hello Asha,
handling of contract workers differs from company to company.
If the contract workers are in the HR core system as active employees they will be transfered to the e-recruiting system using the standand functionality to create internal candidates for them.
If the contract workers are in the HR system but not in active status, you could use the ALE outbound BAdI to rewrite their status for the IDoc (infotype 0000, field STAT2). This way the e-recruiting system would also use the standard functionality to create internal candidates.
If the contract workers are not in the HR core system at all, I would use the e-recruiting administrator function or the report RCF_CREATE_USER to create internal candidates for them directly on the e-recruiting system. Use a number range for their employee Ids which is blocked in HR core so there won't be any issues with future employees transferred.
Kind Regards
Roman
