2807356 - Bulk Creation of Candidates with CSV file is failing - Recruiting Management

Symptom

  • Can't find the candidates that I've just imported with CSV Bulk Import in Candidate Search.
  • The Job in the backend is failing saying that there are mandatory fields missing, when I have filled those fields.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Cause

The template is using semi-colons instead of commas.

Resolution

Depending on your region format of the list separator of your computer, the software you use to change the template might use a semi-colon format instead of commas, that is the correct and supported version.

This affects the bulk import of candidate, by making it fail the job in the backend of the system and not import the candidates. Hence, they're not searchable.

To fix this issue, please, make sure your template for the bulk import is using commas as a separator instead of semi-colons.
