# SAP SuccessFactors hiring process: see where each application waits

Connect SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting to Duaer. It reads each job application's steps from applied through screening, interviews and offer to start.
## What does Duaer read from SuccessFactors?

Each job application is a case, with the job requisition, job title, department and location. Candidates' names and contact details are never read. The steps are Applied, each status the application moved to, and Started (the start date).

- Statuses whose names say screening, interview, offer or offer accepted match the hiring and onboarding template's steps; others, such as rejected or withdrawn, keep their names.

## How do you connect SuccessFactors to Duaer?

1. In SuccessFactors Admin Center, register an OAuth2 client application, generate its X.509 certificate, and note the API key and the private key.
2. Prepare a user who can view Recruiting applications and job requisitions.
3. In Duaer, create an SAP SuccessFactors API credential with your data center's API host (such as api4.successfactors.com; China's is api.sapsf.cn), the company ID, the API key, the user ID and the private key.
4. As an owner or admin, open Data sources, select Add source, choose SAP SuccessFactors under Hiring and onboarding, choose the credential, select Check connection and confirm.

## How often does it read, and how much?

Each run reads the applications changed since the last one, with their status history; a first read starts two years back and finishes over several runs. A step is never written twice. Read only.

## What are the limits?

- The tables, entities and fields read follow the vendor's published documentation and are not yet checked against a real system; the first real read may need adjustments.
- Interview feedback and offer details are not read.
## Questions

### Does Duaer read candidates' personal data?

No. It reads application numbers, the job and status changes; never names, emails, phone numbers or resumes.
