Understanding Applicant and Employee Record Creation

You should be aware of the following PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office processing rules for creating applicant and employee records:

• You can only enter individuals into PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office as applicants.

• After you enter individuals into the system, you can convert them to employees or contractors (non-employees) using the Applicant pages.

• After you enter applicants into the system, you can search for candidates whose skills match open customer orders and place them on assignments.

• You cannot place an applicant on a temporary assignment, however, until the applicant goes through the hire process and is in the system as either an employee or a contractor.

Note:

If you have PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management installed without PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office, you still use the Applicant component to add employees to use in temporary orders. The individual (as a resource) must first be added as an applicant and then hired.
