# Rehire Employee

> Rehire a former employee in the connected HRIS.

<Note>
  This feature is now in closed beta. Please reach out to your account manager
  or [support](mailto:support@kombo.dev).
</Note>

## Overview

**Rehire Employee** brings a former employee back in the connected HRIS. Get the fields the HRIS accepts for the new job, collect the required values, then submit them.

## Implementation

1. Get the rehire form for the employee.
2. Send the required values in `properties`, using the field keys returned by GET.

`employee_id` accepts the Kombo ID or the HRIS ID as `remote:<id>`.

To rehire into a specific position or requisition, pass its Kombo ID as `staffing_entity_id`. Use the same ID for GET and POST. See [staffing entities](/hris/implementation-guide/staffing-entities-in-create-employee) for details.

Requires the **Create and manage employees** permission in your [scopes](/hris/features/scopes).

  The rehire form has the same format as the create employee form. The guide
  shows how to display the form and match its fields to yours.
