¶ Recruitment and Personnel Administration in SAP ECC
In the domain of Human Capital Management (HCM), Recruitment and Personnel Administration are two fundamental processes managed efficiently through SAP ECC’s Human Resources (HR) module. These processes form the backbone of workforce management, enabling organizations to attract, onboard, and maintain employee data systematically and compliantly.
Recruitment in SAP ECC refers to the process of identifying job vacancies, attracting candidates, and selecting the right talent for the organization. The recruitment process is supported by tools that facilitate job postings, applicant tracking, and candidate evaluation.
- Job Requisition and Vacancy Management: Creation and approval of job requisitions and posting vacancies internally or externally.
- Applicant Tracking: Manage candidate applications, screening, and interview scheduling.
- Selection and Hiring: Track candidate evaluations, make selection decisions, and generate hiring proposals.
- Integration with Personnel Administration: Once a candidate is selected, the recruitment data is seamlessly transferred to personnel administration for employee record creation.
Personnel Administration (PA) is responsible for managing all core employee data and maintaining it throughout the employee lifecycle. This module ensures accurate and up-to-date employee records that support payroll, benefits, time management, and reporting.
