Put simply, talent acquisition at SAP is complex. Hiring 20,000-25,000 people annually across 160 countries creates a complicated landscape that requires streamlined workflows, clear communication, and scalability.

“Last year, we were in the process of planning the optimization of our talent discovery tech stack and then something happened,” Eric Goldstein, global head of Talent Discovery for SAP, said. “We acquired SmartRecruiters in September, so we had to pivot in an agile way.”

SmartRecruiters for SAP SuccessFactors enables enterprises to manage the entire hiring lifecycle, from sourcing to onboarding, with AI-enabled recruiting capabilities that can result in faster time-to-hire, improved candidate experiences, and deeper analytics for workforce planning.

For SAP, this means adding much-needed rigor and precision to its global talent acquisition operations. This will not only elevate the quality of hires but also the candidate experience, which Goldstein identified as the “biggest game changer.”
