The future of an organization relies on the ability to identify and attract the best talent, both internally and externally. Imagine you are a hiring manager, and you are responsible to recruit for a role. Crafting a compelling job description is already hard in itself, but are you compliant with the rest of the organization, is the description free from bias, does it use the right branding?

Imagine you had an assistant that helps drafting a well-structured and bias-free job description. Gone are the days of spending precious time laboring over each word - now we can create compelling descriptions quickly, without compromising on quality or relevance. That assistant is built in to SAP SuccessFactors.

That's not all. SAP SuccessFactors also offers us tailored interview questions based on the job description and the candidate's resume. This means that you can ask the right questions to delve deeper into each candidate's suitability for the role.

Just think about the benefits this brings to our organization. Not only will we save a significant amount of time and cost in creating job descriptions, but we will also see a marked improvement in the quality of our interviews and preparation. This, in turn, increases our attractiveness as an employer of choice, as potential applicants can sense the professionalism and attention to detail that we bring to the hiring process.

This capability has been available with SAP SuccessFactors since Q4 2023.
