Agency 2.0 is now generally available as Agency in SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite. Agency has an enhanced User Interface (UI) and improved user experience over Agency 1.0.

How do I enable Agency 2.0?
Switch to enable Agency will now be available on Admin Center > Manage Recruiting settings under Agency portal section > Recruitment Agency Access

Will Agency 2.0 have new URLs?
Yes. Old Agency 1.0 URL's will be redirected by default to the new 2.0 URLs.

Is it possible to keep using Agency 1.0?
The Agency 1.0 application will be sunset and will no longer be available after the b1908 system release.

Will Agency 2.0 support additional pieces of information (like candidate skill requirements or job requisition specifics) to be provided to the agencies, compared to Agency 1.0?
No. Agency 2.0 was not designed with this goal, being rather directed towards UI and user experience enhancements.
