Applicant Actions HR Recruitment Grouping of Applicant Data - (Infotype 4000)

Definition

The Applicant Actions infotype (4000) serves as a record of all applicant actions carried out for an applicant. These applicant actions might be:

• Data entry procedures (e.g. Initial entry of basic data, Enter additional data)
• Procedures which change the overall status of the applicant (e.g. Reject applicant, Put applicant on hold)

Use

The most important piece of information contained in this infotype is the applicant's overall status (e.g. processing, on hold, rejected). This depends on the last action performed for the applicant. If, for example, the action type Put applicant on hold is performed, the applicant is assigned the overall status on hold. In the standard SAP system, a new record is created in the Applicant Actions infotype (4000) for every action type performed for an applicant.

In addition to data on the action type that was performed, the Applicant Actions infotype (4000) also contains information on whether or not an applicant has been recommended by an employee (reference employee). If this is the case, you can store the name of the reference employee in a text not used in evaluations.

The time constraint for this infotype is 1.
