3594406 - "To Be Hired" field automatically changing while initiating crossboarding via Rrecruiting - Onboarding

Symptom

When initiating crossboarding via Recruiting, the "To Be Hired" field for the old/previous position of this internal candidate will automatically changes to "No" in Manage Positions.

  • This change occurs regardless of the position management settings configured.
  • The change date/time is exact the same date/time of crossboarding getting initiated and job information record being inserted into EC profile regardless of the candidate's start date .

Expectation: Old position should have the "To Be Hired" field staying as "Yes" and not change at all when crossboarding is initiated from Recruiting.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Proxy as an internal user > go to career central > apply to another position
  2. Initiate onboarding for the internal candidate via Recruiting
  3. Go to Manage Positions > check the position that internal candidate was previously in
  4. "To Be Hired" flag will now be set to "No"
  5. Complete the internal hire process
  6. "To Be Hired" flag is still "No"

Cause

"Enable Additional Internal Hire Activities" switch is not enabled.

Resolution

  1. Go to Admin Center > Onboarding General Settings
  2. Under Process Settings, switch on "Enable Additional Internal Hire Activities" option
  3. Test a new candidate or observe behavior for future candidates

Note: It's NOT suggested to switch off "Enable Additional Internal Hire Activities" switch as in future release will have this switch automatically ON.
