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.

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.

E-recruiting status of a external candidate data

Hi experts,
I have a question about status of an external candidate data. Here I have a situation where the customer I'm working for asked that whenever a external candidate create data (a CV) via e-recruiting, the information should be available to recruiters and only be blocked if the candidate perform a step to block data. Today the standard does the opposite, when an external candidate creates data, this data remais blocked until the candidate unblocks it via a step in E-recruiting.
Is there any possible way to change that via customize or I'll have to create an enhancement?
Thanks in advance for your time!
best wishes,
Thais

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.

R12 - irecruitment external candidate user account

Hi,
As part of Oracle's release R12.1.2, recruiter can create external candidate's user account.
I have set the "IRC: Create User Account" to Yes at site level. This made the e-mail field on create candidate page as required. I created the cadidate with required information.
After that, I can search the candidate with the first name, last name etc. However, no e-mail/notification is sent to that external candidate. When I checked the user for that external candidate using system administrator responsibility, the user account is created but there is no responsibility attached to it.
Oracle is expected to send a notification to the e-mail id of external cadidate with login information which is not happening. What am I missing?
Thanks!

This sounds like a problem with standard functionality to me so you might want to kick off the SR route.
A couple of things:
1) Can you see the notification in wf_notifications?
SELECT *
FROM wf_notifications
ORDER BY notification_id desc;
(this gets all notifications ordered by the most recent, so scan through the begin_date to see if you can find one for this user)
2) Do you see any responsibilities after running these concurrent programs:
- Sync responsibility role data into the WF table.
- Synchronize WF LOCAL tables

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

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-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

Debugging WDA External Candidate Application - E-Recruitment

Hi I am trying to enhance E-Recruitment External candidate registration and Candidate profile applications which are built in Webdynpro ABAP.
My problem is I am not able to debug these applications using external(http) breakpoint as the breakpoint is set using my ID and the application user by default uses the user RCF_PUBLIC( I think so).
Please help me in finding a way to debug these applications.
@Moderators
I'm not sure where to post this message, in Webdynpro abap seciton or HCM. when I searched I saw a couple of similar questions in this section, hence posted here.
Thanks,
Sunil
Edited by: XSSDev on May 17, 2010 8:26 AM

Guys,
Thanks for all the replies, they were all helpful.
Here is how I was able to debug it.
Transaction SICF -> select the WDA application ->activate Debugger(edit->debugging->activate debugger)->change the User to 'RCF_PUBLIC' or watever the user maintained in logon data for that service.
now set your breakpoint and test the application. I was able to successfully debug it.
Thanks and Regards,

E Recruitment External candidate user id in SU01

Dear All,
while creating user name for external candidate through HRRCF_CAND_REG, a user name is getting created with some different sequence and we can see it in SU01. will SAP treats it as a new user when it comes to user licences or will SAP ignore this user. please let us know if we are missing on something.
Regards

Dear ,
Following information about E-Recruiting user licenses:
For Reference User,Service user & Communication user you may please refer to the chapter 13.7 of the System Measurement guide 7.0 available in the service market place (service.sap.com/licenseauditing >Named
user Measurement > Documentaion) Please also refer to the SAP Notes
327917 & 553606)
Regarding Dialog Users, You need to customize some special user types to identify these users like the following:
Special user 01 (ID 71): e-Recruiting, External
Special user 02 (ID 72): e-Recruiting, Internal
a.For the External Candidates who log on to SAP System Via URL- Should be classified with Special user 01(71)= e-recruiting External
b.Internal Candidates who are employees (and not already have a chargeable user in another SAP System)Should be classified with Special user 02 (72) = e-Recruiting,Internal
So the external users (ID71) are not counted against your e-recruiting
user licenses!
This is 100% assurance..

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
saipriyan

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 -External Candidate application - External Branding - SAP Them

Hi,
In E-Recruiting, External Candidate application launched out side of portal. We need to change the SAP Themes as per customer branding requirements. Is it advisable to change the themes? What is the View of SAP for changing the Themes?
I understand that SAP generates links (eg. u2018Invites to applyu2019 has a URL) in various places in E-Recruiting BSP/WDA Application. We canu2019t modify/enhance methods to append URL parameter in order to call custom there. Am I right?
Please share your experience on this.

External Candidate -- E-Recruiting EhP4

I have a situation -- the external candidate completes the registration and when she clicks on the Register button, nothing happens -- it does not take you to the candidate profile screen.
I checked in the backend and the data is created, BP, et al.
With the same set of data, if you click on the Register button again, an error is displayed, "the same e-mails address exists".
Would you know what might be the cause?
The customer is in QA. We are not able to set up the debugged in the QA

Hi,
in addition to the post above. If you use a frontend and a backend server for e-recruiting not only check that the unregistered candidate / service user has the authorization to assign the role of the external candidate to the newly created candidate (often a problem if you copy the standard roles to z-roles and forget to replace the standard assignment authorization to the new z role). Also check that the unregistered candidate role on the backend includes the RFC authorization for function group SUSR as this is missing in some release stacks.
You also should remember that the unregistered candidate has to have the user type "Service" and must not have a candidate created using rcf_create_user otherwise the session switch from the unregistered to the newly created user will not work properly.
If you still have trouble take a deeper look into authorization. You can use SU53 (and switch to the unregistered user) to see the last missing authorization or better run an authorization trace using ST01 for the user.
Best regards

E-Recruiting: What Happens To External Candidate Logon After It Is Hired

Hi Experts,
I do not have a E-Recruiting system and needed to check something. So would appreciate if you could help.
Scenario: An external candidate first registers for a logon and submits an application. Subsequently, he is being hired and becomes an internal candidate. If the candidate now attempts to logon using his external candidate creditials via the external publication website, how does the system react? Will it still allow him to logon?
And if one day the candidate resigns from the company and became an external candidate again, will the logon becomes valid again?
Thanks in advance.
Bill

hi,
Once candidate is hired , in standard system he sitll can log on and make the changes with same user id and pass.
But we can restirct candidate after hiring , with the same user id he can not logon in the system and make changes.
It can be done in BSP page setting.
thanks & regards

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
Roman Weise
