Hiring Applicants

After you decide to hire an applicant as an employee or contractor, you must obtain certain information before you can place that employee on an assignment.

This topic discusses how to hire an applicant as an employee or a non-employee.

Note: If you integrate PeopleSoft HCM and PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management with your PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office application, employees are hired into your PeopleSoft HCM system. You can continue to access employees from PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office, but the system will direct you to PeopleSoft HCM when you need to update an employee's personal and job-related data.

If you have PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management installed without PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office, you must use the Applicants component to add your staffing employees.

If you create a new employee in PeopleSoft HCM through the Administer Workforce component and enter a national ID, the system also stores the national ID in PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office. If you attempt to hire that person through PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office, the system validates the uniqueness of the national ID and checks for duplicates.

Employees hired directly in the Administer Workforce component need to be made eligible for staffing before they can be used in PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office.

Warning! If you are using both the PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office Applicant component and the PeopleSoft HR Recruit Workforce component to hire employees, the applicant ID (APPLID) autonumbering ranges for both applications must not overlap.
