Mass hire of candidates from e_recruitment

Question

Hi
My client has a need to hire 100 or more candidates at a time out of e-Recruitment.  They find the single-entry capability of PA48 to be too time-consuming.  Is there ANY way of doing a mass hire of all candidates that have been transferred to table T752F?
If anyone has any good ideas on how to do this, I'd be much obliged.
Kind regards

Hello Krishna,
let's assume you can process the hiring action with the information e-recruiting is handing to the HR system. I'd probably do it the following way (might be a bit oldschool but should work).
PA48 is nothing else than another entry to hr actions. So you could start recording a hiring action as batch input and fill in all fields you have from T752F easily by doing PA30.
When you have the batch you just take the coding as base for a report which reads T752F and gets all information to a employee Id. With this information you build a batch input table and then call PA30 and pass the batch input table which should process the complete hiring without screen interaction. After the call returns to your program you delete the datasets from T752F. Do this in a loop for all numbers.
You can even run different actions for hiring and org. change as you can check if the employee Id from the table already exists.
Plan the report as batch job and it should do what you want.
If you do not want to start delayed via batch job you could make a workflow on completing the data transfer or any other manuel activity. The workflow would call a function module via rfc, hand the data from e-recruiting to the function module which basically does the same as the report for the single candidate. The workflow would be triggered by just setting the activity to completed, the table T752F would not be used.
This solution might be not the most elegant but should work, assuming you have all needed data of course. In my field of work this would not work as e-recruiting does not supply enough data to process the hiring action, so an admin has to do it via PA48 and add everything needed.
