Symptom
- A job requisition with 3 openings allowed 4 candidates to be moved to the "Ready to Hire" stage.
- The system does not restrict moving candidates to "Ready to Hire" even when the number of openings is exceeded.
- Once the number of openings reaches 0, other candidates are moved to the "Requisition Closed" status, and they cannot be removed from that status.
- How does the system processes the countdown and whether there is a cutoff for the number of candidates that can be moved to "Ready to Hire."
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a job requisition with a specific number of openings (e.g., 3).
- Move more candidates to the "Ready to Hire" stage than the specified number of openings.
- Observe that the system allows this action without restriction.
Cause
- The system design allows moving candidates to "Ready to Hire" status even when the number of openings is exceeded.
Resolution
- Configure the Auto-Close feature in the job requisition settings to limit the number of hires. This ensures the requisition automatically closes once the specified number of openings is filled.
- When the last opening is filled, a popup appears asking whether to close the requisition. Selecting "Cancel" keeps the requisition open, allowing more candidates to be moved to "Ready to Hire."
