Implementing SAP E-Recruiting

If you are new to SAP E-Recruiting, then you may need some advice to get started.  We will begin posting a series of blogs that will show you how to begin the journey in implementing a company’s SAP E-Recruiting functionality. Let’s start from the basics.

1.      Define your Recruitment Business process. It is important that you know every step of the recruitment process so that you can define most of the SAP E-Recruiting screens based on your process. This way it will be more manageable for your recruiters to use the new software and be more familiar with the new process. Here is a sample of a high level business process for recruitment. Your company recruitment process may be similar or slightly different than the one depicted below. You can use this as a reference when documenting your recruitment business process.

2.       Define your Sub-processes. The definition of your recruitment business process does not stop at high level. You need to go deeper. The next step is to define what each sub-process does. Let us give you an example:

In this step you need to define what these sub-processes are all about, that way you have a better picture of your entire process.

3.      Define your steps within the business process. Here is where you need to get one of your sub-processes and break it down into steps, triggers and user roles. Take out your process flow charting hat, turn on your computer and start charting away. Of course the assumption here is that you’ve spoken with a few people like the SME’s (Subject Matter Experts) in your company about the recruitment process unless you are the SME. The reason why you need to do this so that you can start visualizing some of the SAP E-Recruiting solutions that you have in mind for your company. On the process flow diagram that you will be doing, it is expected that you refer to SAP E-Recruiting screens and solutions to define this part of the process. Below is an example of a process flow diagram.

4.       Identify steps in the sub-process that will be using SAP.  This is a little tricky and you may not get this during the first try. Identify which step will use an SAP E-Recruiting transaction. By identifying the step and linking it with an SAP E-recruiting screen/transaction you will be able to get a better idea how that step will be completed by the system. From there you can go into more detail on screen design, configuration items and most of the technical solutions that particular step needs.

 

With these steps you will be on your way to defining your Recruiting business process. The next blog in this series will discuss the first steps to set up SAP E-Recruiting. Keep checking our blog for more SAP Tip & Tricks and feel free to leave questions/comments!
