Cloud Recruiting At A Glance
Product Overview
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite is a cloud-based Human Experience Management (HXM) platform that empowers small and midsize businesses to successfully improve employee engagement. This review focuses on SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. To learn more about SAP SuccessFactors as a whole, head to our review here.
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting is a recruiting solution within the SAP SuccessFactors Talent Management category. It includes robust features for streamlining the hiring process. The software accommodates up to 46 languages, so recruiters can source talent from around the world. The software also includes intelligent technology to help companies eliminate hiring bias and make fair and equitable decisions.
There’s a separate solution called SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding that introduces new hires to their colleagues and role and lets them fill out the required paperwork via the personalized onboarding portal. The onboarding tool also supports offboarding and cross-boarding (e.g., internal transfers, promotions) tasks.
The software has numerous benefits, such as:
- Streamlined hiring processes
- Increased collaboration between recruiters and hiring managers
- Better pipeline volume, quality and diversity
- Reduced hiring expenses
We also want to note that SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting can integrate with another SAP product, SAP Candidate Experience by Qualtrics. That software allows recruiters to optimize their pipelines and provide candidates with a better experience, and it includes features, such as real-time data and insights, AI-powered text analytics, prebuilt dashboards, prebuilt surveys and built-in contact frequency tools.
Features
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting has robust capabilities. Here are some of its key ones:
Global talent sourcing – As mentioned, the software accommodates up to 46 languages, so recruiters can source applicants from around the world. It also has data privacy controls to accommodate global data privacy laws. Recruiters can access and post job descriptions to many job boards and social networks, and they can set automated rules for posting jobs to the right sources, too. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting integrates with over 70 third-party systems, so recruiters can extend their global solution even further.
Applicant tracking – SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting has automated tools to help recruiters create job postings, progress candidates through the pipeline and ensure postings and offers reflect equitable hiring practices. In addition, it has mobile collaboration features that allow applicants to submit their resumes or set up a profile from any device. And with mobile devices, recruiters can contact candidates and the hiring team can submit their interview feedback.
Candidate relationship management (CRM) – Recruiters can proactively gain and nurture passive candidates with email marketing campaigns. They can create targeted landing pages, use data-capture forms for finding new candidates and measure the effectiveness of the campaign with analytical tools.
Onboarding – With the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding solution, new hires can access a personalized onboarding portal for filling out paperwork, connecting with their new manager and colleagues and reading key information about the company (e.g., employee handbooks). The step-by-step wizards provide guidance to managers in creating welcome messages, assigning goals and requesting equipment for the new employee. New hires can complete and sign the required paperwork with customizable electronic forms and the SAP Signature Management by DocuSign solution.
Managers can track new hire orientation statuses with the onboarding dashboard. Finally, SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding has features for cross-boarding and offboarding tasks, such as goal management, workflow process tracking and knowledge transfer management.

Customer Service & Support
The SAP Enterprise support package includes a variety of offerings for users.
