When a recruiter selects the option to “Invite a candidate to apply”, forwarded candidates are not receiving the email notification to apply to the Job.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Candidate is forwarded to a job;
  2. Recruiter reviews the forrwarded application;
  3. Recruiter "Invite Candidate to Apply";
  4. Email should be triggered to candidate so he can apply to the job;
  5. However Email is not received by candidate

Cause

  1. Recruiter/Operator inviting to apply does not have an e-mail address setup on profile.
  2. When candidates are invited to apply they receive an e-mail notification using the Invite Candidate to Apply e-mail template, configured in Recruiting Email Triggers. If the email notification is also enabled under Admin Center -> Edit Applicant Status Configuration, the trigger will not work.

Make sure the user have an email address in profile.

    Confirm that there is a template for “Invite Candidate to Apply” email is enabled and defined with the tokens [[RECRUITING_APPLICANT_NAME]], [[INVITE_REFERRER]], [[INVITE_JOB_POSTING_DATE]], [[INVITE_LINK]]
