Error when converting a candidate: The workflow 'Security - Create User Account' failed unexpectedly.

This error message is due to the candidate either not having enough information or the information is not in the correct format.
​
Typical examples would be:

  • The bank sort code on the payroll tab has hyphens.

  • There are spaces in the postcode or phone number.

  • There is no level on the education records.

  • No effective date on the employee's career history

To overcome the error, ensure that any hyphens (-) are removed from the Sort Code field on the affected candidate record in Access Recruit. You should then be able to convert the candidate successfully.
​
This issue can also be caused by an incorrect NI Number. Check the NI number is valid before clicking Convert Employee.
​
If this still does not work, please raise a new case online and reference the title of this article, including details of the affected candidate.
