Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the onboarding dashboard.
  2. Use the search bar to search for the new hire; note the candidate is not returned.
  3. Scroll down the list to locate the candidate.
  4. Open the candidate record and choose Actions > New Hire Data.
  5. Observe the error message "Invalid onboardee:12345".

Cause

Candidate is in status "d" in Data Inspector due to an integration that inactivated the user, resulting in the onboardee being treated as inactive.
