SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Recruiting Management to Background Check Vendor through Integration Center.

1. Candidates are placed in Background Check Status and Recruiters will click on Take Action > Initiate Background Check.
   

The Initiate Background Check option will show as long as the feature permission is set in the Job Requisition Template.

<feature-permission type="backgroundCheck">
  <description><![CDATA[The following roles can launch background check]]></description>
  <role-name><![CDATA[S]]></role-name>
  <role-name><![CDATA[R]]></role-name>
  <role-name><![CDATA[T]]></role-name>
  <role-name><![CDATA[Q]]></role-name>
  <status><![CDATA[Background Check]]></status>
</feature-permission>

2. Candidate Application Data will go to the Integration Center Job. The name of the job is typically the name of the third-party vendor, e.g., HireRight, FADV, Justifacts.

3. SuccessFactors will send initial data which consists typically of application ID, candidate ID, vendor code, and backgroundCheckRequest ID.

{"accountId":"SAPTest01",
"backgroundCheckRequestCreatedBy":"adminsap",
"backgroundCheckRequestLastModifiedDate":"2019-09-16T11:12:46Z",
"backgroundCheckRequestResponseDetail":"Draft",
"JobApplicationId":"5222",
"backgroundCheckRequestVendorCode":"HIRERIGHT",
"packageId":"210034",
"CandidateId":"2324",
"backgroundCheckRequestResponseCode":"OK",
"fallback":"InviteApplicant",
"backgroundCheckRequestCreatedDateTime":"2019-09-16T09:58:27Z",
"backgroundCheckRequestVendorOrderNumber":"199",
"backgroundCheckRequestId":"208",
"throwback":"",
"backgroundCheckRequestOrderStatus":"OK"}

Note: This is a sample payload that we sent to HireRight. The payload contents may be different for other vendors or will depend on what fields were mapped by your Implementation Partner.

4. The Background Check Vendor will confirm the initial data sent and respond by sending a Job Application query using applicationID as the main filter.

https://api4preview.sapsf.com/odata/v2/JobApplication(5222L)?$expand=education,state,candidate,candidate/state,jobRequisition/bgiAccountId,jobRequisition/packageId,jobRequisition/recruiter

Note: This is a sample request query that HireRight sends to SuccessFactors.

5. SuccessFactors will reply to the query by sending the information that the Background Check vendor requested.
6. At this point, the Background Check vendor will process the background check request. Send background email to candidates, etc.

7. Vendor will send the results of the background check and SuccessFactors will display it in the portlet.

8. The Background Check Result would look like as follows.
