Prior to b1808 release, users were able to Initiate Onboarding even though mandatory parameters from onboarding perspective are empty or null.

On b1808 release (RCM-49576), an enhancement for the validation on "Initiate Onboarding" feature was added as an Admin Opt-in. The following mandatory parameters are now being validated on "Initiate Onboarding" if it's empty or null:

-primaryEmail
-startDate
-HiringManager
-company

Once validated if it's empty or null, then an error message is expected to be shown.
