Agency User in Recruitment Process

[former_member424001]

Dear All,

The below question(s) has been asked many times on SCN and I have read almost all the discussions on this topic but confusion is still there.

According to below SAP help (underlined), employee of an agency can enter "External Applications":

1. 7.  If required, you enter the Application Source.

  a.  If you are a recruiter, you indicate whether this is an employee referral or if the application comes from an agency. If necessary, enter the name of the employee who referred the applicant, or enter the agency from which you received the application.

  b.  If you are an employee of an agency, you enter the agency. If you are a member of a support groupassigned to the agency, the system automatically assigns the agency (see Maintaining Agencies of Third-Party Providers).

          Entry of External Applications - SAP E-Recruiting (PA-ER) - SAP Library

My question is :

In SAP e-recruitment each user should have a candidate number / personal number assigned, otherwise user can not maintain any data for external applications, so how can an employee of external agency (who does not have any candidate no. in our SAP recruitment system) work on external applications?

You create a candidate for the user. When assigning a personnel number, you may select a non existing one (for example 99999990). The system doesn't check if the pernr exists
