199E-Recruiting

7 E-Recruiting

The E-Recruiting solution within mySAP ERP HCM is com-pletely new and doesn’t have much in common with the recruitment solution described in the previous chapter. The new design built on a new technological basis takes into account the new labor market where it takes a proactive approach to capture the best talents.

7.1 Business Principles

Most of what is said in Section 6.1 is also true for E-Recruiting, as we aretalking primarily about a different technical approach. However, the newtechnology allows some major changes to the business processes, whichhave to be discussed here.

7.1.1 War for Talent

Even in countries with high unemployment it is more and more difficultfor companies to attract specialized or high-potential candidates, as youcan see in several European countries these days. Most organizationsexpect this problem to grow, given the aging population in many parts ofthe industrialized world and ever-increasing skill requirements for the toptechnical and managerial positions.

On the other hand, most organizations see a sharp increase of applica-tions from candidates with only average or low skills. The challenge to theHR department will be to manage this workload efficiently while still find-ing the best candidates to ensure their companies’ competitiveness.

7.1.2 Sourcing and Retention

Considering that the highly talented tend to behave as self-confidentbusiness partners in the labor market today, the traditional recruitmentprocess is just not enough. What you need is a comprehensive talent-relationship management.

Research shows that the majority of employees are neither 100% loyal totheir employers nor actively looking for a new job. More than 50% aregenerally interested in a good opportunity but may not even read thehelp-wanted section of the newspaper. A company that attracts talentand builds relationships with talented people even before they are

E-Recruiting200

urgently looking for a new job has a considerable advantage. That’s theidea behind the concept of the talent pool. Employees who are screeningthe job market without an immediate wish to change their employers areinvited to an uncommitted registration. They can look around and getacquainted with the company. When a promising opening arises, they areavailable without the need for much advertising. Moreover, the talentpool allows for a reasonable segmentation of candidates so that you canconcentrate on your target groups.

Thus, you can apply well-known principals of customer-relationship man-agement to your recruiting processes. It is more efficient and more effec-tive to build and maintain long-term relationships than to search forshort-term contacts every time you need them and then lose them again.

What is true for external candidates is also true for internal talent. Afterall, your best employees are potential candidates for your competitors,and it would be naïve to assume that they do not watch the job market.So, since they are watching anyway, why not make sure that the internaljob market of your company is at the top of their list? Allow your employ-ees what you allow external candidates. When change is due, it is betterthey choose a new job in your company than leave for the competition.

7.1.3 Controlling Recruitment Processes

Measurement of the recruitment performance is becoming more andmore important. There are well known key figures such as

� Cost per hireAll internal (e.g., time spent by recruiters) and external (e.g., cost of ajob advert) costs that are spent to fill a position

� Time to fillTime that passes from the opening of a position to the hiring of a newemployee

� Cost of staff turnover All costs caused by the leaving of an employee (including hiring andtraining costs as well as the costs caused by the vacancy, to name butthe most important components)

With E-Recruiting, it is often more difficult to assign the costs to a specifichiring, because the costs for the talent pool must be shared by all hiringactivities in some way. Moreover, there are often requirements for moredetailed information. One way of dividing the time to fill a vacancy is asfollows:

201Business Principles

� The time from the moment the vacancy is known to the moment whena job advertisement is published (online or in print)

� The time between the publishing of the advertisement and the invita-tions to first interviews

� The time between the interviews and the hiring decision

� Other

With a specialized e-recruitment system, the expectations in this area areparticularly high.

7.1.4 Processes and Organization

This new world of recruitment can be quite a challenge for the HR depart-ment. It differs from the traditional process in a number of ways.

� The candidates can contact the company in many different ways, andthey want to decide how to go about it.

� Working with a talent pool requires completely new processes,because, after the initial registration, the initiative often must comefrom the employer.

� Besides the processes surrounding applications and job openings,something must be done for the retention of talent in the pool.

� Line managers expect to be involved more actively in the selectionprocess and get quicker results so they can respond to changing mar-ket requirements

� “Cost per hire” is an important key figure, and budgets for HR are oftenlimited.

� Recruitment, staff retention, succession planning, and career develop-ment are interacting strongly. They even can be seen as parts of thesame complex process.

All this requires significant changes to the old organization and processes.

7.1.5 Recruitment Service Providing

In recent years, more and more companies have outsourced parts of theirrecruitment processes or built corporate service centers to act as serviceproviders. The pressure to reduce costs, together with the increasingcomplexity of the processes, may be major reasons for this.

However, with this step, the processes often get even more complexbecause of increased coordination requirements. So, it is even more

E-Recruiting202

important to have well defined and sensible processes and a clear organi-zation with an appropriate IT-support.

7.1.6 Technology

Most organizations seriously working with E-Recruiting have to face tech-nological challenges. These include the following.

� Candidates send in information in many different forms. Not only mustpaper-based applications be processed but also electronic documentsin a variety of formats such as Microsoft Word, PDF, TIF, and JPG. Onepossibility is to have all applicants fill in an online form with the mostimportant information.

� Data security is always an issue, and it has two sides:

� Candidates who register and enter confidential data want to be surethat no unauthorized access of this data is possible.

� It makes sense that the recruiting system interacts with the opera-tive HR system. Because this interaction opens up a connectionbetween the HR system and the outside world via the Internet,technology must guarantee that data of the operative HR systemcannot be accessed from outside the organization.

� International recruitment is often a reason for changing from tradi-tional recruitment processes to E-Recruiting. However, this means thatthe system has to

� Comply with legislation of different countries regarding data secu-rity, accessibility, etc.

� Be multilingual

� Deal with different formats for addresses, names, etc.

� Take into account the different education systems and grading sys-tems

7.2 The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

7.2.1 Overview

Figure 7.1 shows the main functional areas of the solution. In the centerof the whole process stands the Talent pool, where candidates can main-tain their data. How much data they enter can be decided by the candi-dates within the restrictions that the employer sets in the Customizing.

203The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

Registration is the first step. At this point, it is generally not required thatthe candidate enters all the data. We can expect, rather, that many can-didates will enter more and more data with time and only offer the full setof data when they find an attractive vacancy.

Figure 7.1 Functional Overview of mySAP E-Recruiting

The data maintained in the talent pool usually includes:

� Personal data

� Communication data (address, e-mail, phone, etc.)

� Employment preferences (such as functional area and salary expecta-tions)

� Work experience

� Education

� Skills profile (qualifications)

� A range of attachments such as certificates and reference letters

� A cover letter

Although it is possible at this stage to see active applications for a particu-lar vacancy, and although in most cases this is encouraged, the employer’smain aim in registration is developing a long-term relationship.

How much effort is invested in this relationship and whether a candidatereceives invitations to apply for specific jobs can be decided in the talentsegmentation process. It allows the employer to assign candidates to atalent group (see Section 7.2.6) and to assess candidates in a detailedappraisal form (questionnaire) (see Section 7.2.5) that can be fully cus-tomized.

E-Recruiting204

To retain candidates in the pool, several services can be offered to them(as shown in Figure 7.1). Whatever the value-added services may be, themost important points for the candidate are:

� Searching for interesting job postings

� Getting qualified job offers or invitations to apply from a recruiter,based on the candidate profile.

From the employer’s point of view, the three functional areas describedso far build the basis for the real purpose of the system: talent sourcing.With a broad pool of talent and substantial information about candidatesat hand, many vacancies can be filled from this pool. So, the pool is thefirst place to look for new employees before any other expensive andtime-consuming measures such as placing job advertisements or hiringhead-hunters are necessary. To fulfill this purpose, requisition manage-ment (see Section 7.2.3) is a very important feature of the solution.Recruiters define the requisitions and related job postings that arerequested by the managers who are looking for new employees. Theserequisitions hold the data about the job requirements that will bematched with the candidates’ data.

Note that the whole system works for internal candidates as well as forexternal ones. With Version 6.0, succession planning is included as anexplicit component represented by its own role, the Succession Planner.This shows an important development within mySAP HCM: Recruitingand personnel development get more and more integrated in the TalentManagement solution. With this development, the software is ahead ofmany HR departments, where these two functions are still much too sep-arated from each other. As a matter of fact, recruitment and personneldevelopment are often alternative or even hybrid solutions to the sameproblem. So, they should be dealt with together as mySAP HCM suggests.

7.2.2 Process and Roles

The application is based on several roles, which are described in detail inSection 7.3. A role is not merely a set of authorizations, as it is sometimesunderstood. In the context of E-Recruiting, a role represents a set of func-tions together with the corresponding user interface tailored to therequirements of the role. The most important roles and their interactionsare represented in Figure 7.2. This figure shows the main process, startingwith a candidate’s interest in the company and the creation of a vacancy,up to the application. Of course, this process as shown is rather simplified

205The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

as it does not take into account the various outcomes each step couldhave. It merely concentrates on “the most interesting” outcomes thatkeep the process going.

E-Recruiting206

The first part of the process shows two independent branches:

� The candidate registers in the talent pool and maintains some data.

� A manager needs a new employee and requests a requisition, which iscreated by the recruiter along with one or more postings.

The second part of the process shows, how the candidate and the requi-sition—or rather a job posting contained in the requisition—can gettogether. There are two ways for this to happen:

� The candidate searches for interesting positions and finds a match.

� The recruiter searches for candidates matching his requisition and findsone. In this case, he would invite the candidate to apply for the posi-tion in question and provide all necessary data.

In both cases, the candidate will complete his or her data. Usually he orshe will upload a cover letter and other attachments and may have to fillin one or several questionnaires. This done, he or she can submit theapplication.

Of course the process doesn’t stop there, but will go the usual course ofa selection process with correspondence, interviews, etc., and furtherroles are likely to be involved. The process flow is controlled by so calledprocess templates (see Section 7.2.4) together with SAP Workflow.

In the following sections, we will discuss the most important concepts ofthe solution and then look at the different roles.

7.2.3 Requisitions

Together with the candidates themselves, requisitions are the centralobjects of the whole solution. Requisitions provide the means to getvacancies communicated to the users of the talent warehouse as well asto all other persons involved.

Each requisition contains one or more job postings that are dealt withtogether and have similar requirements. Each job posting can be pub-lished via one or more publications (see Figure 7.3).

207The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

Figure 7.3 Structure of a Requisition

A requisition is maintained in nine steps, which do not all have to occurin every organization.

1. Maintain general job information, which contains administrative dataabout the requisition process and the basic job details such as descrip-tion, function, and salary (see Figure 7.4).

Figure 7.4 Creating a Requisition

2. Maintain organizational data.

3. Define the support team: This is the team working with the requisitionin several roles (see Figure 7.5). You needn’t define all possible roles fora requisition. The extent to which you define them depends on yourprocess. Generally a recruiter and a requesting manager are involved atleast. Other roles that could be involved include a decision maker toapprove the postings, an administrator, or a data-entry assistant.

Figure 7.5 Defining the Support Team

4. Maintain job requirements relating to the employment experience ofthe future position holder.

5. Maintain education requirements.

6. Add attachments (such as a detailed job description in the form of aPDF file).

7. Set the status of the requisition; only if the requisition is released canthe included postings can be published for the talent pool.

8. The data overview shows the recruiter, what data has been maintainedso that he can easily identify any missing data.

9. In the last step, the job postings are included in the requisition.

Figure 7.4 shows the design of a step-by-step procedure typical for the E-Recruiting solution. A step that is often included in such procedures is thedata overview, though this is not shown in the figure. Step nine leads toanother step-by-step procedure as shown in Figure 7.6. While the requi-sition is an object for merely internal use (though the data assigned, suchas salary and requirements, has important external effects), the job post-ing is meant for the outside world. This is clear particularly when you notethe multilingual descriptions that can be seen on the lower tabs in Figure7.6. After all, it is not the requisition but the job (posting), a candidate islooking for.

209The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

Figure 7.6 Creating a Job Posting

Most of the data a job posting needs is already maintained on the level ofthe requisition, so there are only five steps involved in creating the post-ing:

1. The general description

2. Some basic data of administrative character

3. The status, which has a similar meaning as the status of the requisition

4. The data overview mentioned above

5. The publications of the posting (see Figure 7.7).

Figure 7.7 Maintaining a Publication

Readers who are familiar with the traditional solution described in Chap-ter 6, Recruitment, will be pleased to see that it is not necessary to createa new posting for each publication. Instead, it is possible to assign severalpublications to one posting. In this regard, the data structure of the E-Recruiting solution does represent the real world much better than thetraditional solution. The publication gets most of its data from the posting

E-Recruiting210

and the requisition, so that most important information is the postingchannel and the time period through which the publication is continued.As with requisitions and postings, the publication has a status. The statusshown in Figure 7.7 is “draft,” which means, that it cannot be seen bycandidates. A publication can only be “released,” when both the postingand the requisition are released.

7.2.4 Process Templates

The tracking process of an application for a particular posting is definedby a so-called process template. It consists of an ordered set of processsteps and activities and is assigned to a requisition. Through the template,the recruiter is guided through the process, but he is not forced to per-form all steps or to perform them in a predefined order.

Although the process template does more or less take the role of actions,activities and the feature PACTV of the traditional recruitment solution,there are some significant differences.

� A process template is defined by the end-user (e.g., the recruiter) inthe normal application, while the feature PACTV must be maintainedin customizing.

� The concept of the process template is more flexible. It is much easierto establish different processes for different target groups.

� To achieve the same level of guidance, workflow must be included.

The concept of the process template has four levels:

1. The process template itself (e.g., “High potentials North America“)

2. A set of process steps or sub-processes (e.g., “Application-Entry” or“Prescreening“) is assigned to the template. They are called just “pro-cess” in the system.

3. A set of activities (e.g., “first interview” or “rejection after interview“) isassigned to each process. Note, that the types of activities as well as theprocesses available are defined in customizing (see Section 7.4.5 forthis and for the categories of activities). Only the assignment can bedone by the recruiter.

4. Special content such as letters or questionnaires (see Section 7.2.5) canbe assigned to each activity.

The recruiter can create a new process template via the path ProcessTemplates • Create Process Template. At first, some header data as

211The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

shown in Figure 7.8 must be entered. The most important data is the sta-tus. The template can only be assigned to a requisition when it has thestatus “released.” You should only release it, when it is definitely ready, aslater changes can be difficult, when the template is already included in arequisition.

Figure 7.8 Header Data of a Process Template

Figure 7.9 shows a complete process template in which the processes“Application Entry,” “Prequalification,” “Selection,” “Offer Phase” and“Rejection” are represented by the five tabs. Eight activities are assignedto the process “Offer Phase,” and three of them have a letter formassigned.

Figure 7.9 Process Template with Five Processes

E-Recruiting212

7.2.5 Questionnaires

Questionnaires are a very flexible tool that allows to get almost everyinformation from or about a candidate in a well structured way. There aretwo types of questionnaires:

� General questionnaires, that can be used to get additional informationfrom the candidate or to enter the impression that the manager ordecision-maker got from the candidate in an interview.

� EEO questionnaires are designed for the specific purpose of obtainingdata necessary to comply with the U.S. EEO (Equal EmploymentOpportunities) regulations. EEO questionnaires are based on the sameconcept as general questionnaires but contain a special type of ques-tions.

Each questionnaire is composed of a set of questions from a pool of avail-able questions. Both questions and questionnaires can be maintained bythe end-user, usually the recruiter or an administrator. Each question canbe assigned to several questionnaires.

As with process templates, the status field is important fro questionnairesand questions. Both can only be used, when the status is “released.” Keepthe status set on “draft” as long as the question or questionnaire is notcompleted.

The questions for general questionnaires can be of five different types.

� Single selection: a field where an answer from a given choice of pre-defined answers can be selected.

� Input field: a field where a short text can be maintained freely.

� Multiple selections: more than one answer can be selected from agiven choice of answers.

� Predefined scale: the answer can be chosen from a scale defined incustomizing.

� Input area: an area to maintain a text; similar to the input field, butwith more space.

Figure 7.10 shows one example for each of these types and Figure 7.11shows them included in a questionnaire in the preview mode. This isexactly how a questionnaire would look to the candidate or anybody elseasked to fill it in online.

213The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

Figure 7.10 Questions of Five Different Types

Figure 7.11 The Five Question Types in Preview

E-Recruiting214

The maintenance of questions can be accessed by the recruiter via theactivity Question Maintenance in the box Administration. Then hereceives an overview, as shown in Figure 7.12, where he can display,change or create new questions. The questions are assigned to one offour tabs for structuring purposes:

� Other

� Candidate related

� Decision-maker related

� Job related

Figure 7.12 Question Maintenance—Overview

Figure 7.13 shows, how an input field question is created. Just maintainthe text of the question as it shall presented on the questionnaire andchoose Input field as the response type. When the question is ready foruse in questionnaires, change the status to “released.” As there are nopredefined answers, the lower part of the screen containing theresponses is empty.

In Figure 7.14, a question with a multiple selection is maintained. Here,you have to assign all the possible responses. These are taken from a cat-alogue of responses that can be maintained by the recruiter. Make surethat responses are re-used whenever possible. Especially commonanswers like “Yes” or “No,” will occur very often in the catalogue, whenyou do not check whether a response you need is already available beforeyou create a new one.

215The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

Figure 7.13 Maintain a Question with an Input Field

Figure 7.14 Maintain a Question with Multiple Selection

EEO questions are very similar to other questions. However, there are theadditional fields Reporting Area and Field to make sure the data complieswith the requirements of EEO reporting (see Figure 7.15). The options forthese fields are maintained in customizing and come with a default set-ting from SAP.

Figure 7.15 Maintain EEO Question

E-Recruiting216

Once the necessary questions are available, the recruiter can start build-ing questionnaires using the item Questionnaire Maintenance in the boxAdministration. Because it is possible to create new questions right outof the questionnaire-maintenance screen, you can proceed to this stepright away. However, if there are several questions to be maintained, it ismore convenient to stick to the sequence described here.

The first screen of the questionnaire maintenance looks exactly as for thequestion maintenance (see Figure 7.16) and has the same purpose.

Figure 7.16 Questionnaire Maintenance—Overview

The maintenance of questionnaires involves three steps:

� Maintain a title

� Assign questions and define their sequence (see Figure 7.17)

� Rate responses. Besides the rating of the responses (that is givingmarks to each possible answer), some responses can also be declaredto be the “expected response.” A candidate who does not select anexpected response is deemed unsuitable. For example, when a specificjob requires that the candidate has worked in Sweden before, thenyour questionnaire could include the question “In which of thesecountries have you worked before?” with the answer “Sweden” anexpected response within the multiple selection. Note, that the ratingof the responses does not happen in question maintenance but alwaysin the context of the questionnaire.

While maintaining the questionnaire, you can get a preview with the“attributes,” showing the whole questionnaire with the rating of eachanswer and the expected-response flags (see Figure 7.18).

217The Process in mySAP ERP HCM

Figure 7.17 Assign Questions to a Questionnaire

Figure 7.18 Preview of Questionnaire with Attributes

E-Recruiting218

When the questionnaires are ready, they can be included in the processvia the process template. An applicant can be asked to fill in a question-naire, either as one step of the application wizard when applying for a jobor via an e-mail sent by the recruiter. This e-mail contains a link to thequestionnaire within the E-Recruiting platform and requires the candi-date to log in before answering the questions online.

7.2.6 Further Important Terms

Talent Pool

The talent pool comprises all candidates registered in the platform,including internal candidates.

Talent Groups

Via the respective item in the Talent Relationship Management box, therecruiter can assign candidates to talent groups as a measure of talentsegmentation.

Object types

There are five types of objects used in the e-recruitment solution:

� Candidates (NA)

� Requisition (NB)

� Posting (NC)

� Application (ND)

� Candidacy (NE)—a candidacy occurs only when a candidate is assignedto a job posting. When this has not (yet) happened, it is an application.

Technically, these objects are used much like object types of organiza-tional management, and the data is stored in infotypes 5100 to 5199.However, this structure is hidden from the end-user. In Customizing, it isimportant to know the object types, as they are sometimes used to assignany items such as activities.

Statuses and Status Reasons

As in the traditional recruitment solution, statuses are used in E-Recruit-ing as well. However, different statuses are available per object type. Thestatuses for an application or a candidacy are:

219Looking at the Different Roles in E-Recruiting

� Draft

� In process

� Withdrawn

� Rejected

� To be hired

The statuses for a posting are:

� Draft

� Released

� Closed (meaning “do not use anymore“)

� To be deleted (but it can only be deleted when it is no longer used inactive processes)

The same statuses can apply to requisitions, but for those there is a fifthstatus called “on hold.“

A candidate can have only two statuses:

� Locked (meaning that this user is not considered for vacancies)

� Released (meaning that this candidate can work on the platform andcan be found by the recruiter for openings)

This is an important difference to the traditional recruitment solution: Thestatus of a candidate does not correspond to the status of his of her appli-cation. This difference results from the completely different concept ofE-Recruiting. The candidate is considered to be interesting not simplybecause one or more applications are pending. The long-term relation-ship E-Recruiting is aiming at can begin long before the first applicationand can go on afterwards.

Status reasons can be maintained in Customizing and assigned when thestatus of an object is changed through an activity.

7.3 Looking at the Different Roles in E-Recruiting

As noted earlier, the E-Recruiting solution is completely role-based. Eachrole is characterized by a set of functions. These are displayed on the startpage, the so called Personal Pages, in several boxes representing a kind offunctional areas (see Figure 7.21).
