SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Reviews

I have been working with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting for the last five years. In my current profession, I have overall experience of 30 years. We are a consulting firm that keeps doing projects. We deploy SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting for our customers rather than using it for ourselves.

We are doing a lot through SAP Integration Center and SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. We are conducting many AI integrations and leveraging the ability to implement all those AI features inside SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting box, adding value for customers. The parsing features, reporting, analytics, workflow, and integration with Employee Central are particularly valuable. We always use the social media integration feature with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, helping customers through LinkedIn and job boards.

Employee Central to SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting in terms of pushing job descriptions as a workflow for open positions is somewhat complicated and does not have very smooth integration. We understand what it lacks in this area. However, in terms of business scenarios, all of this has to come from Employee Central, and we handle the open position reports, recruiter positions, and AI automations. We had our own difficulties with this, but using workflow notifications and programs extensively, we make auto-notifications for scenarios such as when a resignation is accepted and a job position needs to trigger to a recruiter via the Head of Department for approval. We are able to manage all three or four levels of workflows.

In terms of processes, we are able to provide ROI measurement showing that what used to take 30 days for an open position now takes 50% or 70% of that time with AI features and outside world social media integrations, video integrations, and other tools. These features, functions, dashboards, and reports are visible to customers.

There is no complexity in deploying SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. Over a period of time, we understand the nuances and are comfortable with everything.

Employee Central to SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting integration is still a weak area that needs improvement.

We are now able to integrate with LLM models outside SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. With AI, we can provide all those touchpoints as AI integrations in reports and dashboards. Vanilla reports and dashboards are not user-friendly and not beneficial. However, when we integrate with Employee Central and the outside world, integrating these data sets with AI, people are able to realize those values.

I have been working with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting for the last five years.

With onboarding and recruitment both, we are able to create our own MDS and portlets with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. The application is easy to make business-fit for mobile. Initially, the recruitment one had issues, but now we do not see any issues.

Sometimes technical issues with SAP may take longer time because they keep going from one level to another level. On a scale of 10, I rate the response time as seven.

My customers for whom we are doing these consulting assignments are largely organizations with employee sizes of 10,000 to 15,000 globally. Many are from BFSI or airline sectors. Their expectations are pretty different, and we are able to meet those expectations.

Deployment of SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting does not take much time; making it fit for a customer may take three to six months. Usually one or two to three projects maximum are involved from my side in deployment.

I assess the platform's user interface in facilitating the recruitment process as intuitive. It is not difficult. If you know the path and understand the features and functions as a consultant responsible for delivery, SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing makes the outside world pretty simple. In the initial days back in 2021, it was a little difficult, but now we have mastered it and understand everything.

I think the pricing for SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting is very competitive. The overall review rating for SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting is 9.5 out of 10.

We use a few SAP SuccessFactors Cloud solutions, including SuccessFactors and Analytic Cloud. We use a lot of SAP Cloud solutions.

We primarily use SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting for HR and recruitment. We still use SAP Core ERP Core for other functions. For the ERP, we use the HCM module inside it, so we have not moved to SuccessFactors for that purpose.

We only use one module, which is the recruitment function. That is the only function currently active in our environment.

It is connected to our core system, of course, to the ERP system. The HCM core is running in the ERP, and the recruitment is running outside.

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting is valuable for recruitment. It is web-based, which is not amazing, but it does the work. It is handling all our requirements. The standard UI is straightforward.

There are other solutions we have, but they are not comparable and not really integrated with SAP. There are a lot of components that need to be configured, and it requires BTP to integrate to the ECC. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting is quite complex. It is not straightforward to use.

You can consider the last one year.

Because we do not use a lot of functionality, it is quite stable.

It is not cheap, but it does the work. We got a lot of discount, so the price is acceptable.

We work through the account manager.

We did not have recruitment software before, so we switched to SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. It is not about better functions, but an additional solution for us.

I am not sure because I am not the one who implemented it, but it did not seem very complex. We have a portal for people so they can apply for our career.

There is a setup cost.

We also develop ourselves the tools. It is a logic matter. We define the logic, then we build what we would like to get. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting provides basic functions. After that, we use AI to analyze what we want.

There are a lot of AI tools and it is easy to create our current criteria. Nowadays, there are a lot of options.

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting has a ranking feature for candidates. With AI nowadays, we find other AI tools are quite useful as well. It is one of the optional solutions for recruitment. We manage SAP basically and we are the end user. My overall rating for this product is 8.
