When a new job board is added from the Job Board Market Place, a delay occurs before it can be used for two primary reasons. First, for many job boards, the integration is not fully automated. The request triggers a configuration process that must be manually completed by the SAP Recruiting Posting operations team. Second, after any configuration change is made in the backend, the Recruiting Posting system must run a synchronization process to update the front-end interface. This synchronization ensures that the new job board and its settings are visible and available to recruiters.

A. Posting Profiles need to be associated with a contract.

Posting Profiles are templates to streamline job posting, not a prerequisite for activating the job board connection itself.

C. The job board may need to activate the configuration.

While the external job board vendor is part of the process, the activation within the SAP system is performed by the Recruiting Posting team, making option D more precise.

"Ordering Job Boards in Job Board Market Place": This document outlines the procedure after a job board is selected. It states

"When you order a new job board

a ticket is automatically created for the Recruiting Posting team to proceed with the configuration. The configuration can take up to five business days." This directly supports the manual activation step performed by the Recruiting Posting team (Answer D).

"Recruiting Posting Data Synchronization": This section describes the various synchronization jobs that run to update data within the Recruiting Posting module. It explains that configuration data

user data

and other settings are synchronized periodically. This technical requirement for synchronization to reflect changes supports the delay mentioned in Answer B.
