Recruitment Pipeline

1. Overview

Requisitions → postings → applications with pipeline-stage lifecycle. Realizes REQ-MGMT and CANDIDATE-EXP (application flow slice). Embedded-masters candidates, optionally hcm_positions and org_units for canonical position/org context.

2. Entity summary

Name	Description
Applications	A candidate’s submission against a specific requisition. Carries pipeline stage, status (active / rejected / withdrawn / hired), source, and the full evaluation history.
Job Postings	Published, candidate-facing version of a requisition on a career site or job board. One requisition can have many postings (per board, language, or region).
Job Requisitions	Approved request to hire for a specific role. The master ATS work item, carries headcount, level, location, hiring manager, recruiter, and status (draft / open / on_hold / filled / cancelled).
Candidates	Person known to the recruiting org, with or without an active application. Carries contact details, resume, tags, GDPR consent, and source. Distinct from Employee until hired.
Job Profiles	Canonical role definition in the job catalog: title, family, level, responsibilities, required skills and competencies, pay range, FLSA classification. Distinct from positions (which are slots referencing a profile). Many positions share a single job profile.
Locations	-
Org Units	Node in the organizational hierarchy: division, business unit, department, team. Carries manager, cost center alignment, geographic scope, and parent/child relationships. HCM masters the operational hierarchy; EPM contributes the cost-center mapping (which would be Finance-mastered once a Finance/GL domain is loaded).
Positions	Approved slot in the org - a ‘chair’ with role definition, cost center, reporting line, location, and FTE allocation. Distinct from job_profiles (the catalog definition) and from employees (the person filling the slot). A position can be open, filled, or eliminated. SWP designs future positions via org_designs; HCM operationalizes them once approved.
Position Demand Forecasts	Projected need for specific roles derived from the capacity model: which positions, when, where, at what level. Feeds the requisition pipeline - approved demand becomes an authorised requisition in ATS via the headcount.approved handoff.
Predictive Models	ML / statistical model outputs deployed in PA: flight-risk scores, performance trajectory, internal-mobility likelihood. Carries the model identifier, training window, target metric, and the materialized scores per employee. Consumes employees and employment_events as features.
Project Resource Allocations	Forward-looking resource commitment plan (skill, planned utilisation %, effective period) - distinct from executed assignments.

source module	target domain	target module	trigger_event	payload	integration	friction	description
ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	HCM	HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	requisition.filled	job_requisitions	event_stream	low	Requisition fill closes headcount slot; HCM headcount-plan updates.
ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	HCM	HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	headcount.approved	job_requisitions	event_stream	low	Headcount approval (often originating from HCM/SWP) confirmed back to HCM; gives ATS green light to source.
ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	SWP	SWP-DEMAND-FORECAST	requisition.filled	job_requisitions	event_stream	low	Filled requisition feeds SWP actuals-vs-plan reconciliation.
ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	SWP	SWP-DEMAND-FORECAST	requisition.filled	position_demand_forecasts	event_stream	medium	Filled requisitions from ATS decrement open demand in SWP’s position forecasts and update plan-vs-actual fill metrics (time-to-fill, fill rate by role/geo). Lower friction than headcount.actuals_updated from HCM because the requisition→forecast mapping is more direct.

6.3 Inbound handoffs (events this scope reacts to)

ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	HCM	HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	hcm_position.approved_for_creation	hcm_positions	event_stream	medium	Approved position flows to ATS as the basis for a requisition. Approval state must be in sync to avoid requisitions opened against unapproved positions.

ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	HCM	HCM-CORE-WORKER	employee.terminated	job_requisitions	api_call	low	Employee termination in HCM optionally triggers backfill requisition consideration in ATS. Low friction when SWP-driven; some orgs auto-open a backfill req on regrettable losses, others route through SWP for approval first.

ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	SWP	SWP-DEMAND-FORECAST	position_demand_forecast.updated	position_demand_forecasts	event_stream	high	Hiring demand sets ATS requisition-creation expectations. Plan-to-execute gap is a frequent friction source.
ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	SWP	SWP-DEMAND-FORECAST	headcount.approved	job_requisitions	api_call	high	Approved headcount in SWP authorises requisition creation in ATS. THIS IS THE CO-MASTER BRIDGE: SWP masters the intent slice (approved position, budget, time window) and ATS masters the execution slice (pipeline, candidates, interviews, offer). High friction because SWP’s plan structure (org × geo × level × time) rarely matches ATS’s requisition template structure (job code × location × hiring manager × pay range), requiring mapping rules that drift as either side evolves.
ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	project_resource_allocation.demand_unmet	project_resource_allocations	manual_handoff	high	Unmet allocation demand is the seed for a hiring requisition; the manual handoff between resource manager and recruiter is the dominant pattern.
