Query on Applicant Actions

Question

We are implementing both Recruitment & PA modules for the customer. In the Recruitment module, the customer wishes to enter the applicant data into the system only after the initial shortlisting. What are the typical infotypes that are included in the infogroup for Applicant action? As far as I see, Persoal Data, Addresses, Qualification, Previous Employment are the important ones. Are there any more?
Also, when the applicant is converted to an employee (thru Hiring action), these infotypes should not appear in PA40. How is this integration acheived? Through which integration switch?

Answer 1

May be, I did not explain my query properly. The customer wishes to enter some basic information about the applicant in the Recruitment module. The information typically available at the stage of recruitment are Personal Data (name, address, DOB), Previous Employment Details (like earlier companies, where he worked, along with the duration & designation etc.). Also, when the customer wishes to "Offer" the job to the applicant (if he is selected), they can enter the organizational Assignment data like, position, personnel area/subarea & employee group/subgroup. My first query is, how is  this data entered into the system? Which transaction code? Also, how do we set up the Action (infogroup etc.)? Is it through Applicant Actions?
Now, if the "Offered" applicant joins the company, then the available applicant info should be transferred to the PA module, so that he becomes "Hired" now. During this process, the applicant, who becomes an employee now, should be assigned a personnel number (internally or externally, depending on the configuration). Also, the user provides the Joining Date. How is this transfer done?
Once "Applicant to Employee"  transfer is done, should I use PA30 to update the remaining infotypes configured in the Hiring Action?
Hope I am more clear with my query now.
