Recruiting teams face a challenging reality. Disconnected systems, clunky processes, and manual workarounds are inconvenient and costly. The relief from these manual workarounds can liberate your team from lost candidates, frustrating hiring managers, compliance risks, and inconsistent experiences.
But what if the solution isn’t adding more technology, but configuring existing tools with greater precision? What if recruiting could be streamlined and scalable, without rigid processes or overcomplicated customization? This approach empowers HR leaders to take control of their recruiting processes.
That’s exactly what EIR helps HR leaders achieve with SAP® SuccessFactors® Recruiting.
The Hidden Costs of Recruiting Inefficiencies
Every manual workaround and disconnected tool creates friction:
- Disengaged candidates drop out during lengthy or confusing application processes.
- Hiring managers become frustrated with inconsistent workflows and unclear status updates.
- Recruiters waste time moving data manually between systems.
- Compliance gaps emerge when hiring processes lack consistency or auditable records.
As Gartner noted in its 2024 HR Technology Planning Imperatives report:
“HR leaders must showcase consistent delivery of business value… and contribute to cost optimization by discontinuing legacy, disconnected, and underutilized systems.” Gartner, 2024 HR Technology Imperatives
When recruiting is inefficient, organizations pay the price in lost productivity, missed hires, and higher turnover.
Why Thoughtful Configuration Matters
Many organizations fall into a trap: customizing SuccessFactors Recruiting to the point of inflexibility, or not configuring it at all, leading to inconsistent experiences.
The right approach lies in between. EIR partners with clients to design recruiting workflows that are:
- Tailored but not rigid. Designed to meet unique organizational needs while maintaining flexibility for future changes.
- User-friendly. Built to make recruiters’ and hiring managers’ jobs easier, not more complicated.
- Compliant and auditable. Structured to meet regulatory requirements and organizational standards.
EIR brings both the technical know-how and HR process expertise to ensure SuccessFactors is not just “turned on,” but truly optimized.
Making Third-Party Tools Work With You, Not Against You
Recruiting today requires more than a good applicant tracking system. From background checks and video interviews to assessments and onboarding, recruiters rely on multiple tools to get the job done. But too often, these tools don’t connect smoothly. When systems don’t talk to each other, recruiters are left jumping between platforms, manually entering data, and patching together workflows. It’s frustrating, time-consuming, and introduces unnecessary risk.
EIR helps eliminate this disconnect. We make sure third-party tools are woven into SuccessFactors Recruiting so they feel like part of the process, not add-ons that make your job harder. Whether it triggers a background check when a candidate reaches a certain stage or pulls in assessment results automatically, we configure processes so data flows naturally and hiring moves forward without delays or confusion.
Our approach ensures that handoffs between systems are clean, recruiters spend less time on repetitive tasks, and candidate data stays accurate and up to date. The result? A recruiting process that feels cohesive, not cobbled together.
