In a recent study by The Aberdeen Group*, 86% of all respondents agreed that new hires make their decision about whether or not to stay at the company within the first six months on the job. Companies spend a significant amount of time and money to hire new employees, so it is essential for companies to hire people whose skills fit the requirements of the open positions, streamline the onboarding process, and accelerate the time new employees take to become productive.

Software and services from SAP and SAP partners can help you to improve collaboration and efficiency across your organization in planning for, finding, recruiting, onboarding, and retaining new hires in a way that improves the employee experience, accelerates time to productivity, and protects the new-hire investment.

Increased Efficiency

With SAP software and services, we can help you:

• Automate and streamline your HR processes to decrease recruiting and sourcing costs
• Reduce time to hire with efficient, standardized processes
• Maximize retention rates and minimize risk by selecting the new hires that best fit your company and the open position
• Strengthen your employer's brand by implementing a compelling career site and offering higher-quality services to your candidates
• Measure and analyze recruiting process, helping you find, hire, and retain the best talent

Support for Hiring Managers During the Recruiting Process

Hiring managers can quickly and easily perform required activities without having to learn how to use an entirely new system, increasing user satisfaction and user adoption. Hiring managers can request requisitions via SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, complete questionnaires, and provide interview feedback on candidates. Additionally, the Adobe forms delivered for the requisition request can pull in information about the open position directly from the HR system.

Organizational Transparency

Operational and human resources managers often lack accurate and timely information to make informed personnel decisions. Through the use of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence software, they can make better and faster decisions regarding recruiting and onboarding initiatives.

Building a high-performing workforce is not a one-time event. SAP software can help you optimize processes to find, hire, and retain the right talent for your organization and minimize time to productivity. By improving the collaboration and efficiency of how your organization recruits and onboards, you can enhance the employee experience, accelerate time to productivity, and protect your new-hire investments.
