Lesson 1: Managing Recruiting Settings Lesson 2: Managing Recruiting Groups Lesson 3: Managing Job Posting Header and Footer Lesson 4: Managing Recruiting Custom Help Text OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this module, you will be able to: Manage recruiting settings Manage recruiting groups Manage job posting header and footer Manage recruiting custom help text The lessons in this module directly support each of these objectives. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 14 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Lesson 1: Managing Recruiting Settings The goal for this lesson is to provide general instruction about managing your organization s recruiting settings. OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Edit Company Contact Information Edit Return Email Address Edit Candidate Profile Settings Edit a Job Requisition Disable Add Role Manage Interview Central Manage Private Postings MANAGING RECRUITING SETTINGS MAIN CONCEPTS Most of this is internal facing information, except for the company contact information, which is external facing information about the company. Accessing Recruiting Settings pages can be accomplished using OneAdmin: Navigate to Company Processes & Cycles Click Recruiting SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 15-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Click Manage Recruiting Settings Recruiting Settings Page The Managing Recruiting Settings page consists of several sections. Each of these sections controls a specific element of the recruiting settings. Figure 1. Company Contact Information section The Company Contact Information section (Figure 1) is the external facing information about the company, which shows up in the career sites. This information is typically set up during implementation and not touched again. The Candidate Response Email Address field is also posted on the external career sites. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 16 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Figure 2. Return Email Address Information section The Return Email Address Information section (Figure 2) enables you to override the default company email address. You can lock it down so only this email address will display on correspondence back to candidates, or you can make it editable so recruiters can change it to their own email address. Best Practice: Best practice is to have the Return Email Address display something candidate-friendly. Use this return email address when: External candidates sign up to create a new account (with email verification turned on) Internal/external candidates applied to a job An application status change occurs for internal/external candidates individual changes and with mass update External candidates use the forgot password tool Job alerts email notifications for an expired job alert, invalidated job alert, and new job alert Another example of when the return email might be used would be if a candidate fails a pre-screening questionnaire and is disqualified. The candidate is moved to an auto disqualified SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 17-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
status, which triggers an email to be sent to each candidate announcing this disqualification. Select the Delay Emails checkbox (Figure 2) and enter a number (for hours) to prevent candidates from learning exactly when they were disqualified (for example, immediately following an interview) so as not to discourage a candidate. Best Practice: Best practice is to set delay over 20 hours and to stagger this to an odd number of hours (such as 21, 27, or 39) rather than an even number (such as 24 or 48) so that it does not seem automated to the candidate. Figure 3. Candidate Profile Settings section The Candidate Profile Settings section (Figure 3) enables candidates to enter multiple lines of data such as previous work experience or educational history on their candidate profile. A candidate s most recent work history is highlighted in the candidate profile. The MOST RECENT values in the background elements enable recruiters to focus on the most recent information. Recruiters can add comments to candidate profiles, as well as import comments from the application process to a candidate s profile. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 18 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Figure 4. Applicant Profile Settings section The Applicant Profile Settings section (Figure 4) allows an admin to hide any skipped statuses in the application audit trail. SuccessFactors audit tracks every move that a candidate makes through the hiring process. For example, if a candidate replied to a requisition, and was moved from Replied status to Reviewed status to Interviewed status; and the recruiting team liked the candidate so much that they wanted to skip the second interview and move the candidate directly to Offer status, the audit trail will show that by default. The second interview will appear with no dates. This can be hidden by selecting the above checkbox (Figure 4). Figure 5. Candidate Search Settings section The Candidate Search Settings section (Figure 5) is a system performance configuration. You can set a threshold based on your system s size and performance (for example 30, 60, or 90 days) and have a message display a warning to users of a potential delay in the completion of their search. If a recruiter searches on all SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 19-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
candidates who have applied in the last 120 days and you this set to 90, a message will display warning the user that the limit has been set to 90 days. A company with thousands of candidates may choose a low value because the larger the date range, the larger the returned number of candidates. An organization should strive to strike a balance between system performance and number of candidates returned. Figure 6. Job Requisition section The Job Requisition section (Figure 6) provides administrators with a few decision points about configuring requisitions. Enable change tracking and display for Job Requisition data and Job Postings SuccessFactors has an audit trail for requisitions similar to the audit trail for applicants. This provides a detailed view of the audit trail and captures information such as who made changes to a requisition status and when. For example, if data is changed from Talent Management to Human Resources. Use originator s preferred language as the default language of a new job requisition 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 20 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
For companies that have a multilingual environment, the job requisition language will default to the language of the Operator. The requisition must be configured to support the Operator s locale for this to work. Allow forwarding of candidates to unposted jobs This feature provides the ability for operator s to find jobs that are not posted when forwarding candidates. (Source internal candidates for a job requisition before posting.) This is a legal issue for some companies, and they prefer not to enable this option because of fair hiring practices in their country that make it illegal to place a candidate in a job unless that job has been made public for application by other candidates. Enable private posting of jobs This feature enables the private postings of jobs. For example, if you have a confidential executive search in the process, you may not want to post that you are hiring a CEO. A URL to a private posting of the job will be available to send to candidates via email, even if the job is not searchable to candidates internally or externally(this requires some XML setup). Show job description to Applicants even after the job is taken down This feature allows candidates to use the print preview option on Job Descriptions to look at jobs they previously applied to or that were previously posted. Disable Add Role on Forward to Requisition dialogue This is enabled when an internal user finds a good candidate and wants to forward them on to Requisition. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 21-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Figure 7. Interview Central section The Interview Central section (Figure 7) allows you to decide whether to enable document attachments on your interview feedback forms or Interviewer Notes. Figure 8. Offer Approval section The Offer Approval section (Figure 8) varies from the Requisition, Application, and Candidate Profile sections, where you can decide on a field by field level which fields are read and which are write. In this section several of the fields are hard-coded as read or write fields. The Job Code Entity field enables an admin to autopopulate and edit additional fields. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 22 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Figure 9. Instructions The Instructions section (Figure 9) is comprised of a text editor which enables an admin to place text above the job requisitions list in multiple languages (based on the language selected in your profile). SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 23-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.

Lesson 2: Managing Recruiting Groups This lesson provides an overview of how to manage recruiting groups. Effectively managing your organization s recruiting groups makes it easier for you to work with large groups of people, reducing the amount of time spent on administrative tasks. OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Copy and modify a recruiting group Create a recruiting group Delete a recruiting group RECRUITING GROUPS MAIN CONCEPTS You can use dynamic groups (for example, selections of employees) to limit the scope of employees that can be set as recruiters, hiring managers, sourcers, or coordinators on job requisitions (job reqs). During configuration, your Professional Services or Technical Services consultant can associate a group with an operator role (for example, recruiter) on the requisition template. You can select which employees will be part of that group. In the XML for a requisition template, it is possible to tie a restriction so that users can only pick from a specific group of SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 29-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
authorized recruiters. This helps prevent end users from selecting non-authorized recruiters. The Manage Recruiting Groups page is accessed using OneAdmin, by: Navigating to Company Processes & Cycles Click Recruiting Click Manage Recruiting Groups Manage Recruiting Groups Page The Manage Recruiting Groups page (Figure 10) lets you create and edit dynamic groups for the Recruiting module. Consult your implementation team for information on uses of groups in your instance. A Recruiting Group is a set of business rules that defines a group of users. Recruiting groups limit the pool of users that can be selected in a given role on a requisition, if that role was tied to the group during the configuration process in implementation. Recruiting groups consist of one or more people pools. People pools allow you to manage which people belong to which recruiting groups. Each people pool is defined by the values you select in one or more categories. Categories consist of search criteria that allow you to select groups of people who share a common demographic feature such as city, country, job code, gender, or hire date. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 30 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Through the clever use of categories and people pools, you can create recruiting groups that ideally suit your specific needs. Figure 10. Manage Recruiting Groups page How Do I Create a Recruiting Group? Define the People Pool Enter a group name. Start defining your people pool. For example, to define a group of all users hired before October 1, 2009, select the Hire Date field category in the drop down titled Pick a category. Based on the definition of your people pool, select the people for your group. You can make multiple selections within a single category, and you can use multiple categories. For example, to define a group of "All the engineers and product managers in San Mateo," establish the group with two categories as follows: Pick category Department from the dropdown titled Pick a category. A popup with a list of departments will be presented. Select Engineering and Professional Services from the list of departments. Select the Add Another Category button. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 31-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Pick category Location. A popup with a list of locations will be presented. Select San Mateo from the list of locations. Multiple People Pools Each group can have multiple people pools. People pools are used to identify people who meet your criteria. For example, let's say you have two different offices: Office A and Office B. Each office has a Sales team and a Finance team. If you want to create a recruiting group that includes all sales and finance personnel from both offices, use one pool, and configure to find all people in either role (sales or finance) and either location (Office A or Office B). Use multiple pools when only some people fit in each search criteria. For example, you should use multiple pools if you only want to include sales employees from Office A and finance employees from Office B. In this case, you would create a recruiting group that includes: One people pool of sales employees from Office A Another people pool of finance employees from Office B 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 32 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Figure 11. Example of People Pools Team View The Team View category allows the definition of hierarchical groups with multiple levels, even when using Matrix, HR and Custom reporting relationships. For example, it is possible to define a group two levels deep using the Matrix Reporting relationship in the following fashion: "Carla Grant's Matrix Reports, and the Direct Reports of Carla's Matrix Reports". This would appear as follows: SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 33-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Figure 12. Example of Matrix Reports and Direct Reports Locking Group Membership Group definitions are basically stored queries. Their membership is therefore dynamic. The number of people in the group today can be different than the number of people in the group tomorrow. For example, if a group has been defined as "Everyone in the Engineering department" and if a new person is hired tomorrow, the membership is augmented by one. If the membership of the group must not change, it is possible to lock the group membership. This will save the list of users that meet the group criteria at the time the group is locked. To edit the membership, unlock the group. Note: Unlocking a group will lose the locked membership, and the group will return to being dynamic. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 34 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
From the Manage Recruiting Groups screen, you can perform the following functions on your recruiting groups: Table 1. Manage Recruiting Groups Tasks Task Edit Copy Delete Create Perform this task when: You need to change the membership of a certain group of people. You want to create a new group that s based on members in an existing group. This can save you a lot of time over creating a new group. When you no longer need a group. You need a new group of people and you don t have an existing group you can copy and alter to suit your needs. Recruiting Groups are tied to the user who creates them; a user viewing Admin > Recruiting Groups cannot see the Recruiting Groups set up under another user s profile. Best Practice: Best practice is to set up all Recruiting Groups under a single master administrative user (that will never be deactivated out of your system), and only change the groups by proxying into that master administrative user. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 35-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Job Aid: Copy and Modify a Recruiting Group 1 Navigate to Administration Tools > Company Processes & Cycles > Recruiting 2 Select Manage Recruiting Groups. 3 Select the recruiting group you want to edit using the preceding procedure. 4 After you select the group, click the Copy button. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 36 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
5 Enter the name of the new group in the Save group as field and click Save. 6 SuccessFactors displays a status message letting you know you successfully copied the group. Click the View the group now control if you want to view or edit the group or click Close to return to the Manage Recruiting Groups page. You re now ready to manage the group you just copied. 7 Select the recruiting group you want to edit by clicking the Choose a Group field s dropdown menu and selecting the group you want to edit. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 37-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
8 After you select the group, click the Edit button. 9 When SuccessFactors displays the Group Definition form, you can choose new members for your group or exclude others. 10 The current group, Recruiters, currently only has one category of people in it: all people whose job code is HR REC. This means that this people pool includes all recruiters no matter where they work. To add another category to this group, click the Add another category button. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 38 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
11 Select a category to further refine your search for members of this people pool. For example, if you wanted to find recruiters who work in San Mateo, CA, you need to select a category that allows you to specify that value. 12 Since you want all the recruiters in a specific city, the City category is the field to select. Click the Category field s dropdown menu and select City. 13 SuccessFactors displays the Search Results screen so you can specify the specific city value you want to include in your people pool. Click the magnifying glass icon on the right edge of the Keyword field. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 39-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
14 Use the navigation controls to find the name of the city you want. When you find the value you want (in this case, San Mateo), select the checkbox next to its name. Note that you can select multiple values (though in this case, you re only selecting one). Click Done to save your selection. 15 SuccessFactors displays your modified people pool. In this case, your people pool consists of all recruiters who work in the San Mateo office. Note that you can click San Mateo and select additional locations if needed. One City field can have as many cities listed as needed. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 40 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
16 As described earlier, add additional pools to combine people in specific roles from specific locations. 17 To replicate the example given at the start of this lesson, you can create one pool to include people: In a specific role in one location (for example, HR in San Mateo) With people in another role at a different location (for example, Sales in Oakland) SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 41-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
18 If you make changes to your search criteria, click the Update button to see how your results have changed. This image shows an edited group that now includes HR directors and managers who work in either Oakland or San Mateo. 19 Click Done to save your changes.

Lesson 3: Managing Job Posting Header and Footer This lesson provides general information about managing the job posting header and footer template. OBJECTIVE Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to create a job posting header and footer template. JOB POSTER HEADER AND FOOTER TEXT MAIN CONCEPTS Headers and footers are just blocks of text that appear at the top and bottom of your job posting document. When a job is posted, usually you are posting basic information like the job title or the job location; enough so that when it s searched on a career site the candidate or employee can understand what the job entails. You can create multiple header and footer templates. There can be different headers and footers for internal job postings and external job postings. Filters (Rules) provide flexibility. You can target jobs for specific levels of experience and/or location. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 49-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.

Module 2: Managing Recruiting Email Templates When you manage a template, you can, by changing the template once, modify all subsequent emails or forms you send using that template. To teach you how to manage email templates effectively, this module contains four lessons: Lesson 1: Managing Email Notification Templates Lesson 2: Managing Recruiting Email Templates Lesson 3: Managing Offer Letter Templates Lesson 4: Managing Onboarding Templates OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this module, you will be able to: Manage email notification templates Manage recruiting email templates Manage offer letter templates Manage onboarding templates The lessons in this module directly support each of these objectives. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 66 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Lesson 1: Managing Email Notification Templates System email notification templates automate the process of composing email messages that are sent to users such as candidates, hiring managers, agencies, and recruiters. Using Email notification templates reduces the likelihood of mistakes and ensures a consistent message is conveyed to all applicants. Note: Managing System email notification templates differs from managing a Recruiting email template which is introduced in Lesson 2: Managing Recruiting Email Templates on page 79. OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Edit an existing System Email notification template Identify recruiting related email notification templates Turn on and off event email notifications Customize an email notification template SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 67-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
EMAIL NOTIFICATION TEMPLATE MAIN CONCEPTS Email notifications are automatically sent to employees every time a specified event or change occurs, such as when a form is available or overdue. You can specify which notifications employees receive; for example, you can send a welcome message to all new employees. Email notifications consist of the email subject, notification text and, optionally, signature text. The signature can be added at the bottom of every email and typically includes contact or company information, but can be any message you want. SuccessFactors provides the text for all email notifications. You can modify the text of many, but not all, email notifications. For example, you can modify the content of late notices, but not of system progress notifications. What s the difference: system versus regular? System email messages are messages you can send to employees to communicate system changes, such as to announce scheduled maintenance downtime or to address a global system issue. System email messages differ from regular email notifications because they are initiated and sent as needed. Regular email notifications are automatically sent based on business events or the activities employees perform. This module will be discussing regular email notification templates. EMAIL NOTIFICATION TEMPLATE LIST There are many email notification templates available in the SuccessFactors suite. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 68 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
To access the Email Notification Templates page (Figure 15) using OneAdmin: Navigating to Company Processes & Cycles Click Recruiting Click Manage Recruiting Groups = Figure 15. Admin Tools > Company Settings > Email Notification Template Settings Figure 16. Email Notification Templates List SuccessFactors provides a number of email notification templates to use as-is or customize for specific business needs. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 69-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Note: To see a full list of notification templates, what triggers the notification, and the intended recipients please refer to Admin Tools > Admin Resources. There are a few notifications specific to the Recruiting product. These include, but not limited to: Document Creation Notification Document Routing Notification Document Completed Notification External Candidate Forget Password Notification Invite Candidate to Apply Candidate Merge Notification Job Alert Expired notification Job Alert Invalidated Notification Job Alert Notification New Recruiting Operator Notification Recruiting Interviewer Notification Recruiting Event Interviewer Notification Recruiting Manual Candidate Creation Notification Recruiting Imminent Candidate Purge Notification Recruiting Agency Share Candidate Search 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 70 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Best Practice: Question: Can we turn off the notification that we send to candidates that are entered into the system? Answer: No. If you have a candidate in the system, he or she must be notified for legal reasons. WHEN WOULD YOU EDIT A TEMPLATE? Notifications are sent at various points in the requisition and candidate life cycle. Notifications are critical to prompt action and advise users of activity in the tool. Default text is available for all system email notifications but it is advisable to review and rewrite email text to fit your branding standards. The email templates contain regular text and variables, also known as tokens. Regular text displays exactly as you entered it. Variables (tokens) allow you to insert data pulled from the system, for example, exact due dates or a signature. (Tokens are discussed further on page 83.) You can easily modify the existing content in SuccessFactors. Alternately, you can use the existing content as the basis for creating your own email notifications. To do this, download the existing content, modify it using your favorite text editor, then upload the modified content back to SuccessFactors. When you modify an existing template, you can send a different email for each form. Select this option if you have created several forms from the same template. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 71-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Select the notification template name from the Email Notification Template Settings list (Figure 16). This notification is now visible at the bottom of the page. Select the Specify Different Template for Each Form checkbox (Figure 17) and click OK on the confirmation message that appears. Then select the form for which you want to use this email and click Switch To. Figure 17. Email Notification Template > Specify Different Template for Each Form Note: If these options are unavailable, it means that you can't specify this setting for the notification you are modifying. In addition to modifying the content of the templates, you can use your own original content. To do this, create the content in a text (.txt) file, then upload that file to SuccessFactors. After your content is uploaded, you can update it directly in SuccessFactors. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 72 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin

Lesson 2: Managing Recruiting Email Templates The goal for this lesson is to provide general instruction about managing recruiting email templates. OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Edit an email template Use tokens in an email template Save a template translated into another language MANAGING RECRUITING EMAIL TEMPLATES MAIN CONCEPTS There are two ways to manage email templates in the system. As mentioned in the previous lesson, one is by system email notification settings, which are required to make the system run and sometimes pertain to recruiting. The other is Recruiting email templates. These are Ad Hoc email templates, which are optional. You can create as many email templates as you want, like Thanks for applying. There are three types of recruiting related emails to help you manage recruiting email templates: Manage Recruiting Email Templates Introduced in this lesson, these templates are used for: SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 79-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
AdHoc emails to candidates Candidate status emails Manage Onboarding Templates Introduced in Lesson 3 of this Module, these templates are used for the onboarding feature. Manage Offer Letter Templates Introduced in Lesson 4 of this module, these templates are used for the offer letter feature. Figure 18. OneAdmin > Recruiting > Admin Task List You can manage these three email templates directly from the list of recruiting tasks (Figure 18), which can be accessed using OneAdmin, by: Navigating to Company Processes & Cycles Click Recruiting Select the template type from task list Clicking any one of these three task links takes you directly to the list of available templates of that type. You can then select one of the available templates to edit. There are two major benefits to using notification templates: 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 80 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Templates make some recruiting tasks much simpler. These templates serve as form letters that can be emailed to potential candidates. This makes contacting large numbers of potential candidates much easier and faster. You have the option to add a CC or BCC section to Recruiting email templates, so others can be included on the email correspondences. Using email templates greatly reduces the cost of corresponding with a potentially large number of candidates who may be interested in an opening or who may be good fits for those openings. You can disable templates you don t want to use. This takes them out of your active list of templates and prevents you from using outdated templates. When you disable a template, though, you don t delete it. It s a very simple task to go into a disabled template and enable it so it can be used again. Figure 19. Sample Recruiting Email Template SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 81-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
EMAIL TEMPLATE LIST The Manage Recruiting Email Templates page is accessed, using OneAdmin, by: Navigating to Company Processes & Cycles Click Recruiting Click Manage Recruiting Email Templates When you manage a Recruiting email template, you can, by changing the template once, modify all subsequent email messages you send using that template. Recruiting email templates can be configured to be triggered when a candidate moves into a particular status, or may be sent manually by a recruiting user. Figure 20. Email Template List The email template list consists of five columns (Figure 20). These columns include: Template Name Provides the name of the recruiting email template. Template names should be unique. Status This column shows one of two possible statuses. A recruiting email template may either be enabled (actively used) or disabled (still available, but not actively used). 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 82 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Translated In The Translated In column lists all the languages that a particular template has been translated to. Last Modified The Last Modified column lists the date on which the template was last modified. Action The Action column includes an icon you can click to edit the template (performs the same action as clicking the link in the Template Name column). Click the Create New Template button to add a new email template. The basic process to create an email template includes naming the template, selecting a status of enabled or disabled, entering a subject line, and then adding the email content (Figure 21). Figure 21. Manage Recruiting Email Templates page Tokens An administrator can use tokens when creating email templates. Tokens are the blanks in a form letter. They point to specific fields in your data and route the correct data to that field. Tokens SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 83-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.

Lesson 1: Grant Recruiting Permissions This lesson teaches you how to modify and grant recruiting permissions. These permissions allow the people you work with access to the parts of SuccessFactors they need to do their jobs correctly. Permissions can be granted to a group of users or a specific individual user. OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Modify recruiting permissions for a group of users Grant recruiting permissions to an individual user RECRUITING PERMISSIONS MAIN CONCEPTS The Administrator is the person responsible for managing all or part of the SuccessFactors system, employees, and data. Administrators already have the default user permissions, and those with direct reports also have manager permissions granted. As a recruiting administrator, or someone with one or more recruiting roles, additional permissions need to be granted to you and others involved in the recruiting lifecycle. Recruiting permissions titles are listed in Table 2. Each permission is described on page 123. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 117-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.

Figure 26. Recruiting Permissions group of users By default this page is already set to assign permissions to a group of users. To get started, begin defining the set of users. Select user group based on options in drop-down menu (Figure 28). Figure 27. Recruiting Permissions select group of users Once the base group of users is defined filters can be applied. The group can be filtered by division, department, location or group (Figure 29). SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 119-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Figure 28. Recruiting Permissions filters Once the group has been defined, select the appropriate permissions to be assigned to the group. Click Update Recruiting Permissions to apply/update the new permissions. A status message will appear indicating success or error (Figure 30). Figure 29. Recruiting Permissions successful update To assign permissions to a specific user, click the Manage recruiting permissions through individual users link (Figure 31). 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 120 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
The individual selection process is similar to the group selection. First, define the base criteria: all employees, a user with direct reports only, a user without direct reports only. Then apply a filter based on division, department, location, and group. Additional criteria can be applied to the search by entering a specific user first name, last name, username, or job code with a starts with or exact match operator applied to the filter. Figure 30. Recruiting Permissions individual user For example, permission to access a candidate search within a job requisition needs to be granted to a user whose name is not known, however we do know this user has direct reports and is a Client Services representative in the Global Services division located in China. Therefore we would configure the search with the following criteria: Select With Direct Reports Only SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 121-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.

WHAT RECRUITING PERMISSIONS CAN I ASSIGN? Report Permissions Below are descriptions for each of the recruiting permissions. This is the Report link on the Recruiting tab itself. It s an older feature that s not used for reporting but as a quick search feature. Ad Hoc Reporting is used now. The Report link can search for requisitions / not my requisitions, anywhere in the database. This is not use very often because it s recommended that hiring managers not be able to see any requisition. Permission is only given to recruiters or not at all. Source Quality Report The Source Quality Portlet generates the Source Quality Report, which measures where the hires you recruited came from, how much they cost, and how well they are performing. This report: Provides a graphical view of which recruiting sources provide the best quality candidates over time. Requires additional configuration to utilize. (Please contact Customer Success.) Please note that in order for this report to work, the following must be true: The candidate s source and cost of hire was tracked The candidate must have completed at least one Performance Review SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 123-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Figure 32. Source Quality Report Candidate Search Permissions Permission to conduct a Candidate Search is controlled with two permission checkboxes: Standalone Search Permission The Standalone Search permission allows a user with no open requisition to do a general candidate search on the candidate database (that is, mine for talent that exists in their candidate pool). Candidate Search Within Job Req The Candidate Search Within the Job Req determines who can do a candidate search if they have an open job requisition. It grants them permission to search the Candidates database from the job requisition page. This enables a user to open a requisition, do a candidate search, and then forward a candidate to a specific requisition. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 124 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
Candidate Tagging Permissions The Candidate Tagging Permission determines who can tag a candidate in the database. For example, if a user found a candidate that is a good engineer, they could put a tag on the candidate s profile stating that she s a good engineer so she can be easily located at a later time. Jobs Applied Portlet Permissions The Jobs Applied Portlet permission determines who can view the Jobs Applied portlet to see what other jobs a candidate has applied for.

4 Set up the hiring managers first, since they have the least access. Select a group from the Filtered by Groups dropdown menu Select Hiring Manager. 5 6 Filter by Sales hiring managers with direct reports. From the Filtered by Departments dropdown menu, select Sales. From the Select dropdown menu, select With Direct Reports Only. 7 Select the permissions you d like to extend to the employees you selected by clicking in the checkboxes for each permission type. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 127-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
Note: Note that ALL permissions the employee should have must be checked. If the employee requires both Report Permission and Standalone Search permission, both checkboxes must be selected, even if the employee already has Report Permission. If only Standalone Search permission is selected, then the existing Report Permission will be overwritten with the blank checkbox and the employee s permission will be removed. Best Practice: Best practice is to always start granting permissions to the users with the least access, then work your way up to granting permissions to users with greater access. This helps avoid accidentally overwriting a high access user with lower permissions. 8 Click Update Recruiting Permission. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 128 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin

Lesson 2: Setting Up Permissions to Create Forms The goal for this lesson is to provide general instruction about setting up permissions in your organization to allow creation of forms. OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Assign permissions to create requisition forms to a specific role or to a group Set up a dynamic group FORM PERMISSIONS MAIN CONCEPTS Requisition creation is controlled by permissions. You can grant permission to individual users or to a group of users, of which the latter is more common. Each requisition contains a set of role fields, such as who is the recruiter and who is the hiring manager. It s common to say, Let s give all hiring managers forms access. However, at this time, you probably don t know who the hiring manager is. Your organization needs to create rules to determine who gets access to create requisition forms. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 134 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
You should first document who specifically requires access to the create link for requisition templates in your organization. You should define what describes a hiring manager. Everyone who has a direct report? Everybody over a certain level? Can anyone be a hiring manager? You can divide your access to requisitions by job, by country, by union or non-union. For example, you can specify that anyone can open a Replacement Requisition but only Human Resources can open a New Net Addition to Headcount requisition. You can assign permissions to select groups. ACCESS RECRUITING PERMISSIONS PAGES Accessing Recruiting Permissions pages can be accomplished using OneAdmin: Navigate to Manage Employees section Click Set User Permissions Click Form Creation Permission Managing Form Creation Privilege The ability to grant and remove form creation privilege for system users is configured on the Managing Form Creation Privilege page.

Lesson 4: Setting Up Agency Access This lesson provides an overview of how to set up agency access. OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Set up agency access AGENCY ACCESS MAIN CONCEPTS This feature provides a third entry into SuccessFactors. Besides entering as an internal user or as an external candidate, Agency Access provides an entry for external recruiting agencies to see their candidates, see job requisitions open for agency access, and forward candidates to those job requisitions. To do this, use Agency Access to add a user account for the agency. Multiple agencies allow you to source different types of candidates, such as executives, marketing, and technology. When an agency submits a candidate to a job, a duplicate check is performed to ensure the candidate does not already exist in the candidate pool. The duplicate check validates against the candidate s email address. The Duplication Message in Agency Access allows you to customize the message that the agency will receive if a duplicate is found. SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 151-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
ACCESS AGENCY PERMISSIONS PAGES Accessing Agency Permissions pages can be accomplished using OneAdmin: Navigate to Recruiting section Click Set Up Agency Access AGENCY ACCESS CAPABILITIES Recruiters must first have an equest account assigned to their SuccessFactors account. When an Agency user adds a candidate, the system sends the candidate an email containing both their username and password. When a customer adds an Agency user, the system sends the Agency user an email with instructions on how to log in and a password. When the Send Correspondence to Agency box is checked, Agency users will immediately receive all communications. When sending email from within the Recruiting module, users have the option to send correspondence to agency, candidate, or both. Agency Candidates have a visual identifier in the Candidate list. Agency Candidates have a visual identifier in Search Result lists ONLY when Agency owns the candidate for a specified duration is enabled in the Agency Ownership settings in provisioning. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 152 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
In Admin Tools>Agency setup page, users are able to communicate Agency specific instructions to Agencies when they try to add a candidate who is a duplicate in the system Agency owns the candidate for each requisition only. Agency owns the candidate profile for the specified duration. Figure 33. Set Up Agency Access Example The basic process to configure the Set Up Agency Access page (Figure 34), to provide an agency s access include: Select Agency Name.

Lesson 5: Dashboard and Reporting Permissions This lesson teaches you how to set up recruiting permissions to access dashboards, and create and run reports, especially Ad Hoc reports. OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Grant dashboard permissions to a group of users Grant permission to create a report Grant permission to run a report DASHBOARD AND REPORT PERMISSIONS MAIN CONCEPTS SuccessFactors Dashboards and Reports gather and display the information employees need to gain insight into every aspect of the organization. Dashboards show high level summary information in charts and graphs, called portlets, about a single topic, such as performance ratings or goals. For example, the Goal Management dashboard only shows goal management data. Dashboards are intended to let employees quickly check progress or spot trouble areas in key processes within an organization or their team. SuccessFactors provides three standard Dashboards (Table 3), but you can create SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin - 161-2012 SuccessFactors, Inc.
your own custom dashboards. Only employees with Dashboard permissions can access Dashboards. Employees who have Dashboard permissions will see the Dashboards tab. In addition, you can grant detailed reporting privileges, which specify the divisions, departments, locations, and HR jurisdictions for which employees can see Dashboards. Table 3. Standard Dashboards Standard Dashboard Title Goal Management Performance Summary What is does Shows statistics about the progress and status of the goals for managers and their teams. This dashboard allows managers to continuously monitor goals throughout the year. Shows the numerical ratings gathered from review forms. If your company doesn't use numerical ratings, you might not have this Dashboard. This Dashboard is especially useful for comparisons, such as comparing this year's goal ratings to last year's. Shows the core statistics about a manager's direct reports for all performance management processes, such as form progress, goal status, and overall ratings. Reports provide in-depth analysis about key processes and performance and offer ad-hoc queries on a number of topics such as the status of forms, goals, and rating summaries. There are six types of reports available, listed in Table 4. Table 4. Basic Report Types Reports of This Type... Classic Reports Spreadsheet Reports Provide This... Offer ad-hoc queries that you can run to generate reports and lists on a number of topics such as the status of forms, goals, and rating summaries. These are very detailed, highly analytical reports that provide in-depth analysis about 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 162 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
List View Reports Spotlight View Reports Manager Dashboard Standard Reports key processes or assessments of the performance of the entire organization. These reports use Excel-based pivot tables, allowing you to further drill down, filter, or slice-anddice data offline. Note: Spreadsheet Reports are designed to meet the data needs of HR administrators, which means that these reports include data for the entire organization. Because Spreadsheet Reports can provide so much visibility, these reports might not be appropriate for managers who should have visibility only into their own teams. These reports give a detailed view into the data behind Dashboards for employees, forms, and performance factors. Each list focuses on one subject, such as employees or forms, and allows you to sort and drill through the data so that you can quickly view the information you want. From List Views, you can drill down even further into Spotlight Views, which provide details of one very specific subject. These are at-a-glance graphical representations of the data behind Dashboards. Spotlight View Reports provide information about one very focused subject, for example the number of completed reviews, presented on one page. You can use Spotlight Views to quickly check up on a key process. This feature allows managers to run the Aggregate and Individual Workflow Status Report across their teams. This report shows the progress and number of forms being used by the team as a whole and as individuals. These reports work with standard recruiting fields, and address questions such as cost per hire, current candidate statistics pipeline, employee referral, requisition reports, source reports, time to fill and vets reports.

AdHoc Report Overview The Report Builder is the primary report tool for Recruiting data. It is a query tool that can be used to build reports as needed. As of September 2011, Standard Reports are available if you are using all the standard fields needed to power them. Note: Talk to Customer Success to have your system evaluated for readiness for use of Standard Reports. The EEOC Standard AdHoc Report is new and should be used. Ad Hoc Report Builder You can give access to create and/or run the Recruiting V2 report for recruiting specific data (Figure 36). Run permission gives access to a report that someone else has determined the data that can be viewed. Create permission enables you to add columns of data to any report. It is suggested that you give Recruiting managers both Run and Create permissions, and give Hiring managers only Run permission. Figure 35. Dashboard/List View/Spotlight View Report Permissions page Running a Recruiting V2 report gives you access to any data in the database. So having V2 Run or Create access enables you to access any requisition or candidate s data. 2012 SuccessFactors, Inc. - 166 - SuccessFactors Recruiting Admin
