Creating Job Descriptions using AI

SAP Business AI enhances the capabilities of SAP applications enabling them to learn and improve business outcomes. This leads to significant improvements in key business processes, giving customers access to more intelligent and automated solutions. Business AI is infused across the SAP Product Portfolio and every embedded scenario has gone through rigorous AI ethics process.

Generative AI enables completely new capabilities in business software. With generative AI, we can create new content, summarize complex information, write computer code, and more. It is a new generation of AI that can reason through business problems and make suggestions that were previously unthinkable.

SAP Business AI for SAP SuccessFactors  

By introducing AI into the employee experience, SAP Business AI aims to optimize workforce planning, deepen employee engagement, and align the employee experience to your business objectives throughout the employee lifecycle. Specifically in trending areas such as recruiting and talent development.

While some of these AI features can help drive user productivity and efficiency, such as the generative AI features for Recruiting, other features using extensive machine learning capabilities have been developed to help customers achieve their long-term talent strategy goals.

When introducing AI into your talent management processes, it is critical to understand the data points which drive these features to help you maximize the capabilities AI provides.

When introducing AI for SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, it is important to consider all of the different data points that we can use beyond the Recruiting-specific data models and templates. When utilizing the different sources of data within SAP SuccessFactors, such as Position or Job Profile data, we can maximize the capabilities of AI features for Recruiting by providing AI with a greater source of context. For example, integrations that can be used for Recruiting include Employee Central and Job Profile Builder, which provides quick access to attributes within the Talent Intelligence Hub, such as skills and competencies.

When utilizing data that is maintained centrally, organizations can increase consistency in data across the different talent processes. When data, such as skills, are automatically added into the Job Description, the AI assisted skills matching feature can more accurately reflect the organization’s talent needs by evaluating an applicant’s skills against the actual skills required for the role, defined within the Job Profile. 

The SAP SuccessFactors suite offers the following solutions where embedded generative AI can be introduced into the recruiting process to create greater efficiency and a user-centric experience.

Generative AI can help recruiters create more inclusive, high-quality job descriptions that more accurately reflect their hiring needs. By using the generative AI functionality for job descriptions, recruiters can be provided with industry-specific keywords and phrases, which will help improve the visibility of their requisitions when advertising their job postings.

An object is available within Manage Data, allowing more control over how the Job Description is built using generative AI. In configuring the Recruiting fields for the AI-enhanced job description, the desired fields on the job requisition can be added to the object. The data in these fields will be used as context by AI to generate a more customized job description for the Recruiting user.

The requirements for the configuration of AI for job descriptions are:

• The customer has an SAP AI Unit license.
• The AI-Assisted HCM Content Generator option is enabled in Provisioning.

To configure AI for an AI-Enhanced job description:

1. Configure the job requisition fields you want to use to help generate the job description in the Recruiting Fields for AI Enhanced Job Description object in Manage Data.
2. You have enabled the Assisted Job Description settings in Admin Center.

• Enable AI capabilities by obtaining SAP AI Units license and granting Manage AI Capabilities AI Services Administration permission in Role-Based Permissions.

• Configure AI-enhanced job descriptions by enabling AI-Assisted HCM Content Generator in Provisioning and defining relevant requisition fields in Manage Data.

• Generate inclusive, high-quality content using generative AI to create job descriptions with industry-specific keywords that improve posting visibility and accurately reflect hiring needs.

• Maximize AI effectiveness by maintaining centralized data across talent processes, ensuring consistency in skills, competencies, and job requirements throughout the employee lifecycle.
