2601753 - Unable to search internal candidate profiles using Search by Name

Symptom

No users/recruiters are able to search for internal candidate profiles using the Search by Name feature.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to BizX instance.
  2. Go To Home >> Recruiting.
  3. Select the Candidate Tab.
  4. Search for internal candidates using Search by Name text box.

Cause

The issue may be caused by any of the following configurations:

  1. Data privacy configuration on the candidate's profile
  2. Permissions in the succession data model
  3. Internal Candidate Search Settings in Admin Center

Resolution

FOR DATA PRIVACY

  1. Run an adhoc report to check the candidate's visibility settings through the Share Profile Flag. If the candidate does not indicate a "Any company recruiter worldwide" flag, then some users/recruiters (depending on assigned location/country) are not allowed to view that candidate's profile.
  2. If DPCS 2 is enabled check to see if the candidate has accepted the latest version. Internal candidates will not appear in the candidate search if they have not accepted the latest data privacy statement.

FOR PERMISSIONS IN THE SUCCESSION DATA MODEL

  1. Export the succession data model from the customer's Provisioning instance.
  2. Check the <element-permission type="read"> zone in the succession data model. Make sure that fields configured are permissioned to all roles (*).

FOR INTERNAL CANDIDATE SEARCH SETTINGS

  1. Go to Admin Center >> Set up Internal Candidate Search
  2. Make sure that the following settings are not enabled:
    • Disable searching of internal candidates
    • Find candidates where <select> is <x> days from today or earlier
