Key SAP Talent Management Considerations for SAPinsiders
- SAP Talent Management offerings are cloud-based. SAP SuccessFactors made its name in the talent management software-as-a-service (SaaS) space long before it was purchased by SAP in 2012. A decade later, SAP SuccessFactors is SAP’s primary focus for HR software development, with the cloud-based talent management modules getting twice-yearly updates.
- Many on-premise SAP ERP HCM customers also use SAP SuccessFactors talent modules. The SAP SuccessFactors suite is offered in a modular way — which means customers can choose specific functionalities without investing in a full cloud HR suite. On-premise SAP customers have often added on SAP SuccessFactors talent modules such as Performance & Goals or Recruiting to their existing HCM offering as a way to test the cloud HR software waters.
- Companies are increasing focus on a potential employee’s first impression. In our recent HR Technology State of the Market report, recruiting and onboarding solutions were in use or being implemented at just 36% and 29% of respondents’ organizations, respectively; however, they were the top two HR technologies in planning or evaluation mode. This suggests companies are beginning to understand the importance of a first impression when it comes to meeting requirements — particularly in areas such as talent acquisition and retention.

Convert Candidates into Employees Through Automated ExperiencesDec 23, 2021 — Employees are looking around and being selective about where they work, and many are leaving longtime positions in what we now call The Great Resignation. Companies need to be able to capture that talent to not only improve their organization, but potentially replace what they’ve lost. Automation can help improve experiences for both candidates and recruiters. For example, how much more time would your recruiters have if they weren’t manually scheduling interviews?
In this video, Cliff Jurkiewicz, VP of Global Strategy at Phenom, draws on his experience to discuss:
- How automating interview scheduling enables recruiters to do their jobs better.
- What it takes to build great candidate experiences that set employees up for success and keep applicants coming back to re-apply, even when they are rejected.
- Converting recruiting page views to applicants and candidates at much higher rates.

Increase Sales with Alumni-Specific Community BuildingOct 28, 2021 — More than four million Americans resigned from their jobs in May 2021, according to analysis published by Gallup.

PeoplePath, a global leading provider of cloud-based platforms designed to engage and manage relationships with everyone in the employee lifecycle (candidates, employees, and alumni), says that an employee leaving can create new opportunity.

Implementing a phased approach to intelligent and automated audit management and continuous auditing provide greater assurance in highly regulated markets.
