3539327 - Create External Candidate Record that can Obtain Recruitment and Onboarding Data of New Hire Using BOOMI API - Onboarding

Symptom

  • The requirement is to use BOOMI API to create an external HRIS external candidate record, which can obtain both Recruitment and Onboarding data of an external new hire
  • If we have the recruitment applicant ID (which is a unique identifier) how can that be mapped to onboarding field/portlet to be used as a connector between Recruiting and Onboarding since it is not available int he Recruit-To-Hire functionality or how can we use the Onboarding ID to connect back to Recruitment application information so we can pull the offer information that is being stored on the recruitment application template
  • The challenge is to find a unique identifier to connect an applicant's recruitment information and the same candidate's onboarding record. Currently, only the first name and last name are being used, which may not always be unique
  • And the goal is for ONE BOOMI API to capture the offer information on the recruitment applicant area and the onboarding information of that same candidate that is stored on multiple Onboarding MDF tables and EC portlets - but yet there does not seem to be a unique identifier that can connect both areas together; other then first name and last name, but that is not always a unique identifying combination

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

The issue may not be reproducible as it is a BOOMI/API situation

Cause

Lack of a unique identifier that can connect both the recruitment and onboarding data to pull an external candidate record

Resolution

  • You can use to test the email address as the unique connector

Moving forward, consult with the implementation partner or SAP professional services to test and guidance on this particular topic
