Environment

SuccessFactors Recruiting Management (RCM) - All versions.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to the instance;
  2. Proxy if needed;
  3. Select “Recruiting” from the drop-down next to home icon;
  4. From the Job requisitions select a “Job Requisition”;
  5. Fill out any required fields and scroll down to “Assign Role” section, try assigning users to the Recruiting Team, Recruiting Administrator and / or Director roles, one by one or together and you’ll receive errors.

Cause

This is caused by a misconfiguration on the Job Requisition XML file, which leads to the reported error.

Resolution

  1. Recruitment Administrator (example)

    XML configuration:

    <field-definition id="originatorName" type="operator" required="false" custom="true">
    <field-label mime-type="text-plain" lang="en_US"><![CDATA[Recruitment Administrator]]></field-label>
    <field-label mime-type="text-plain" lang="es_ES"><![CDATA[Administrador de contratación]]></field-label>
    <field-label mime-type="text-plain" lang="fr_CA"><![CDATA[Administrateur du recrutement]]></field-label>
    </field-definition>

    According to RCM Imp. Guide:

    Automatically captures the value of the user who created the requisition and should not be configured to be editable by other users.

  2. Director (example)

    XML Configuration:

    <field-definition id="vpOfStaffing" type="operator" required="false" custom="false">
    <field-label mime-type="text-plain" lang="en_US"><![CDATA[Director]]></field-label>
    <field-label mime-type="text-plain" lang="es_ES"><![CDATA[Director]]></field-label>
    <field-label mime-type="text-plain" lang="fr_CA"><![CDATA[Directeur]]></field-label>
    </field-definition>

    According to RCM Imp. Guide the correct field ID is "vpOfStaffingName".
