Conditional activity in Recruiter role

[former_member424001]

Dear All,

I am implementing e-recruitment. The client's requirement is to allow creating a specific activity only if certain condition is met.

The condition is the response (YES /NO) of a question that candidate filled during the application.

For Example the question is: Have you ever worked in ABC Company? 

If candidate says YES or NO during the application wizard its stored in questionnaire table.

Now on the candidate assignment list during the applicant tracking when recruiter selects this candidate and wants to create a certain activity say "XYZ", system should stop it if candidate response was NO and allow it in case of YES.

your consideration would be highly appreciated as I really need a solution very urgently.

Hello Chohan,

currently there is no option to restrict the creation of an activity in the described way. In fact there is no way at all to have a logical restriction on activity maintenance. There is only an authorization object which allows to restrict the activity maintenance on activity type level.

SAP is currently working on a concept for allowing dependencies between activities but I am not sure if it will be flexible enough to cover your specific requirement.

To at least improve the process I can imagine to create the activity automatically in planned status via workflow if it is obligatory. So the recruiter only has to continue the work and not create new ones. You could also use the enhancement concept of the candidate selection list to add a column with the information. Both solutions will not prevent a recruiter from intentionally creating the activity for a candidate for whom he should not create it but the additional service or information can reduce errornous activities.

Kind Regards
