Recruitment

Recruitment

Attracting and retaining the right people is the cornerstone of an organization's success. The key to successful recruitment is to strengthen your relationships with both the current and the potential workforce. Rather than maintaining temporary relationships with those who could fill one particular vacant position, the focus is keeping long-term relationships with people who have the potential to work for your organization at some stage. SAP E-Recruiting helps the organization to do this by offering a comprehensive, web-enabled recruitment solution which supports talent relationship management and traditional central recruitment functions redefined from a broader perspective.

Recruitment

This business scenario shows how the employer performs the whole recruitment process, from submitting a recruitment request, to advertising the vacancy and selecting personnel, to closing the recruitment cycle. This scenario spans across three business participants - the candidate, the employer and the external service provider. The candidate is the internal or external person who is actively or passively looking for a new position. The employer takes both the role of the hiring manager and the recruiter. The hiring manager is the one who has an open position to fill. The recruiter is an HR department employee who helps the hiring manager to find suitable candidates and select and employ the right persons. The external service provider is an external agent who supports the overall recruitment strategies, the use of various media channels, the assessments of candidates and pre-employment checks.

 

This scenario shows an example of an end-to-end recruiting process: The employer submits a recruitment request for the positions to be filled. For this recruitment request the employer looks in the talent pool to evaluate the available talents and then specifies the recruitment plan, for example which target group (employees or external candidates) should be given preference, where to advertise, and so on. Depending on the recruitment plan, the employer may publish the vacant positions in external media. The candidate looks at the internal job board or external media for advertised positions, and applies for positions that he or she is interested in. The employer performs various personnel selection methods where candidates participate, such as interviews or assessment center sessions. The most suitable candidates receive an offer. If the candidates accept the offer, the employer closes the recruitment cycle and prepares for their hiring.
