Symptom
An internal hire initiated from Recruiting is routed to “pre-onboarding rehire verification” card instead of the internal hire process.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Initiate an internal candidate from Recruiting
- Observe the candidate is sent to the pre-onboarding rehire verification instead of the internal hire process
Cause
- The candidate is an active EC user with 2 employee records: one is active employee, another is global assignment
- The candidate uses the user id of the global assignment to apply for job requisition posting in RCM
- At the time of onboarding initiation, the candidate's userid of the global assignment became inactive
- So isInternal = false published in OnboardingInitiated event and Candidate determined as External at time of ONB initiation
- But system found okToRehire = false in the user’s active dormant employment record
- Finally, system routed the candidate through the rehire verification to verify the user again
Resolution
- Cancel the in-progress onboarding from the Rehire Verification tile.
- Determine whether the candidate should be processed as an internal or external hire based on the candidate’s current profile state at the time of initiation.
- If the intention is Internal Hire, ensure the candidate has an active internal user id before re-initiating onboarding
- If the intention is External Hire, proceed via the rehire verification process
Prevent recurrence: During the Onboarding process, it is essential to ensure that the userid used for internal hiring remains active at all times.
