The rehire check process in SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding is designed to identify whether a new hire is a returning employee (rehire) by matching their data against existing employee records. The process includes a first and second rehire check, with the second check executed only under specific conditions.
According to the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding Implementation Guide:
* Thesecond rehire checkis executed only whena potential match is not identified in the first rehire check(Option A). The first rehire check attempts to match the new hire's data(e.g., National ID, name, or date of birth) against existing records. If no match is found, the system proceeds to the second rehire check, which may use additional criteria or manual review to confirm the new hire's status.
Option B (match detected when Onboarding is initiated) is incorrect because a match at initiation would trigger the first check, not the second. Option C (Personal Data Collection step completed) is incorrect because the rehire check occurs earlier, typically during initiation or Manage Pending Hires. Option D (match detected during Review New Hire Data) is incorrect because a match at this stage would not trigger a second check; it would resolve the rehire status.
