How do you initiate the Onboarding process?

Initiating the Onboarding process in SAP SuccessFactors can be done through manual actions, integrations, or automated triggers, depending on the system configuration and integration setup.

According to the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding Configuration Guide:

Add a new hire to Onboarding in Admin Center(Option B): Administrators can manually initiate Onboarding by using theAdd New Hire to Onboardingtool in Admin Center, which creates a new onboarding record for the hire.

Initiate Onboarding from an external applicant tracking system(Option C): When integrated, external applicant tracking systems (ATS) can trigger Onboarding by transferring candidate data to SuccessFactors via APIs or middleware, typically when a candidate is marked as hired.

Initiate Onboarding from SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting(Option E): Integration with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management allows Onboarding to be automatically initiated when a candidate is moved to theHiredstatus in the recruiting process.

Option A (Import a CSV file of new hires in Admin Center) is incorrect because there is no direct CSV import option in Admin Center specifically for initiating Onboarding records. Option D (Add a New Employee in Admin Center) is incorrect because adding an employee typically occurs in Employee Central, not as a direct trigger for Onboarding.
