Deprecation Details
SAP SuccessFactors removed the ability to post jobs using eQuest integration from the Job Postings page to reduce the redundant job posting options within SAP
SuccessFactors Recruiting. Instead, use recruiting postings to post your jobs on external job boards.
If you don’t have any active postings on eQuest, you can remove the eQuest section from the Job Postings page by disabling the Grant eQuest Job Postings Permission role-based permission.
You can’t configure new integrations with eQuest anymore in Provisioning. You won’t see the Enable Job Board Posting—eQuest switch in Provisioning, and this switch is no longer a prerequisite for using the Set Up Job Board Options admin tool.
As part of this deprecation, the existing job postings will continue to appear on the job boards. You can remove the posted jobs using the Job Postings page but can’t post a new job, update, or repost an existing one.
How it Looks Now:
Job Postings user interface is in the current version,, where you can’t create or update jobs but can only remove the existing postings using eQuest integration.
How it Looked Before:
In the previous version, you could create, update, or remove job postings from the Job Postings page using eQuest integration.
