The detailed procedure for testing the scope item Manage Onboarding initiated from Recruiting after
solution activation is described in the following. Each process step is covered in its own section.
This scope item comprises configuration for an onboarding process for new external hires. By applying the
configuration provided, data gathered from candidates during recruiting will seamlessly pass through the
onboarding process and into their new employment.
This process starts with the recruiter who initiates onboarding in Recruiting Management. In Onboarding,
based on the set-up program, hiring managers can work on concrete tasks needed as preparation for the
new team member. The new hire will get (limited) system access prior to his or her first day at work and can
start with reviewing and adding further data as well as start working on first tasks. The data are transferred to
Employee Central where the hiring would be completed via Manage Pending Hires.
For hiring companies located in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United
States, compliance forms are made available. Before signing and submitting documents as part of the
Onboarding process, new hires in these countries must fill out and sign these compliance forms in advance. In
case the new hire is with a company in the United States, Form I-9 must be completed and signed by both the
new hire and the employer within three business days of the date employment begins.
This section summarizes all the prerequisites for conducting the test in terms of systems, users, master data,
organizational data, other test data, and business conditions.

The Hiring Manager or HR Administrator can monitor the status of the process at any point in time. For this,
their user must have the role Onboarding BPE Monitor user assigned.
This section describes the test procedures for each process step that belongs to this scope item.
• The Recruiter initiates the Onboarding process for the new hire. Once the Onboarding process gets kicked-
off, the data of the new hire is transferred to Employee Central.
Note
The data that has been collected in Recruiting will be used for detecting if the candidate was already
employed in the past at the company. In this case, a rehire verification will be performed prior reviewing
the new hire data.
• The HR Administrator enhances the data of the new hire; the new hire gets limited access to the system
prior to his or her first day at work.
• The new hire provides data, which is needed to complete the hiring task. They will also sign some
documents, which are needed prior hiring him or her as employee in the system.
Note
In case the new hire is for a company in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, the United Kingdom,
or the United States, then before signing documents, they must fill out and sign compliance forms as
well.
Meanwhile, the Hiring Manager works on tasks, which are needed to prepare for the new team member.
Some tasks will be sent directly to the new hire, while other tasks will be sent for further processing to
other participants (for example, members of the IT department). The new hire can review these tasks
already before his or her first day at work; he or she might also start working on some of them.
• In case there are changes in the new hire data, for example a change in hiring manager or change in job
offer start date change, the onboarding process can be restarted for the candidate before the candidate
gets hired. Restarting the onboarding process can happen at any point in time unless the candidate is hired
in Employee Central.
• The HR Administrator hires the New Hire from Manage Pending Hire. A scheduled job will convert the new
hire to an employee on the job start date. The New Hire then becomes an Employee in Employee Central.
• The Employee works on the onboarding tasks he or she must complete within a given period of time.
Note
In case the new Employee decides to not work for the company, a no-show will be reported in Employee
Central, which then triggers the cancellation of the onboarding process.
Caution
For the business process to run as described in this document, Print Forms Service must have been
enabled and the Basic Authentication Credentials must have been maintained in Provisioning, and the
signature templates must have been prepared.
• for maintaining the print services account, refer to section Preparation Implementation > sections
Generating Print Forms in Onboarding and Enabling Print Forms Service, and
• for setting up the signature templates, refer to section Post-Processing > section Setting Up
Onboarding Document Template.
For ease of consumption, we consider in the process description, that first the HR Administrator and Hiring
Manager complete all their tasks, and the New Hire accesses only afterwards the instance and provides
missing personal data, and so on.
Tip
We recommend checking in parallel the process flow sketched in the appropriate process diagram.
Purpose
The Recruiter initiates the onboarding process for the candidate who accepted the offer made by the company.
This is done from the Recruiting Management module.
Prerequisites
The candidate is in status Ready to Hire > Ready to Hire in the Talent Pipeline of the Recruiting
Management module.
The Type of Hire for the candidate in the Talent Pipeline is External – New Hire.

Result
The data that has been collected in Recruiting can be used for detecting if the candidate was already employed
in the past at the company.
Purpose
This process step is relevant in case the system detects a new hire, whose onboarding process has been
initiated, as a (possible) former employee of the company. In this case, the HR Administrator checks if
the candidate profile matches with profiles of former employees. The HR Administrator then decides if the
candidate should be onboarded as a rehire or, if none of the profiles match with the candidate’s profile, as new
hire.

information are taken from Employee Central and previous employment record. Continue in the process
execution with test step 3 in process step Review New Hire Data [page 17] and subsequent. The rehire will
then receive a welcome email with his/her old username to log on to the system.

• In case Proceed as New Hire has been chosen, the rehire coordinator will be redirected to the Home
screen. Continue with the process step Receive Notification to Provide Data for Onboarding Completion
[page 37].
Purpose
The HR Administrator receives an email notification informing that the new hire's data can be reviewed. He or
she then reviews the data of the new hire as already available in the system. This data has been collected from
the Recruiting module as per the Recruit-to-Hire Data Mapping.
Note
The newly added and updated data will be made available during hiring completion via Manage Pending
Hires.
Note
In case the candidate is onboarded as a rehire, he or she will be rehired with new or old employment. In
this case, biographical information, personal information, and employment information are taken from
Employee Central. Once the candidate is rehired with new employment in the system, the system
automatically assigns another username and user ID to the employee, while the person ID (external)
remains unchanged. If the candidate is rehired with old employment, the username and user ID remain
unchanged.
Note
In the instructions below, the use case of onboarding a candidate as rehire is not considered. For such
candidates, the HR Administrator needs to maintain less data, as several details are taken over from the
existing record in Employee Central.

Submission
The candidate appears in the list of pending hires in the administration tool. More precisely, the candidate is
listed in Manage Pending Hires > Onboarding (#) in the Admin Center of the Employee Central module.
Purpose
The second rehire verification is executed if a potential match does not get identified in the first rehire
verification because of not maintained data yet. Later on in the process, additional data may be collected
and a new rehire verification can be executed.
This process step is relevant in case the system detects a new hire, whose onboarding process has been
initiated, as a (potential) former employee of the company. In this case, the HR Administrator checks if
the candidate profile matches with profiles of former employees. The HR Administrator then decides if the
candidate should be onboarded as a rehire or, if none of the profiles match with the candidate’s profile, as new
hire.

Result
The Complete Additional Onboarding Tasks tile is available in the To-Do section of the new hire Home page.
• In case the new hire is for a company in Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the United Kingdom, then, in
addition, the Complete Compliance Tasks tile is available in the To-Do section of the Home page. The new
hire can opt to complete first the additional onboarding tasks and then complete the compliance tasks, or
vice versa, as these processes run in parallel, without blocking each other.
Depending on the country legislation, the compliance documents can be signed also after the hire start
date.
• In case the new hire is for a company in the United States, then, in addition, the Complete Compliance
Tasks and Complete and Sign Form I-9 tiles are available in the To-Do section of the Home page. Completing
additional onboarding tasks, completing compliance tasks, and completing Form I-9 are parallel processes,
which do not block each other, so it is the new hire’s choice in which sequence they want to execute them.
• A new hire who is onboarded in a company in any other country/region will complete directly the additional
onboarding tasks.
Tip
• In case the new hire is for a company in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, or
United States, continue in the process execution with process step Complete Compliance Forms
