Symptom
User is trying to search internal candidates in Recruiting using Employee ID as search criteria but no search results are returned even if an employee exists with the valid employee ID.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Recruiting > Candidates
- Select search criteria "Basic info">"Employee ID"
- After entering the Employee ID you want to search, no results are displayed even though there is an employee with the ID you entered.
Cause
Candidate search actually populates the search fields from Candidate Profile Template. When 'employeeId' standard field is added in this template, it automatically starts appearing in candidate Power search UI even though this field is not searchable.
Resolution
Candidate Search using Employee ID as a search criteria is not supported currently in Recruiting.
There is currently an enhancement request open for this. You can refer internal ticket number RCM-18867 to your CSP.
