Human Capital Management -- Talent Management



Talent Management comprises four key HCM processes: Attracting and Acquiring Talent, Pay for Performance, Educating and Developing Talent, and Identifying and Growing Future Leaders.  A strong Talent Management strategy enables the organization to find the best people, leverage their talent in the right place and right time, align employees and teams to corporate goals, maximize the impact of training, and retain and promote top performers. All processes are based on a common understanding of employee, organizational and competency data. The ultimate goal of a Talent Management platform and strategy is to outperform competitors by deploying a better workforce.

RecruitingSAP Component or Feature Available

Incorporates a sophisticated recruiting solution (SAP E-Recruiting) in SAP ERP HCM that enables the organization to build pools of potential talent, resulting in better hires and a more efficient hiring process.  Included are processes that enable applicants and candidates to self-register and maintain their information in a talent warehouse.  Recruiters have comprehensive functionality to find potential hires quickly, maintain long-term relationships with individuals registered in the warehouse and advanced applicant tracking and reporting functions.  Analytics are also available to measure the effectiveness of the overall recruiting and hiring processes.

Duet Recruitment Management enables managers to schedule interviews automatically, view contextual details, complete candidate evaluations and receive interview alerts entirely within Outlook Calendar.


The SAP® E-Recruiting application offers organizations the recruiting management functions needed to locate appropriate talent, including intelligent electronic screening, filtering, sorting, and ranking. Versatile and easy to use, the application not only opens new recruiting possibilities but also decisively strengthens the contribution that the recruiting function makes to a company’s overall competitiveness. SAP E-Recruiting takes talent relationship management beyond organizational borders by creating a talent warehouse that serves as an effective sourcing channel that can help you develop early relationships with your potential workforce inside and outside your organization.  

Talent relationship management

The talent warehouse in SAP E-Recruiting integrates external and internal recruiting into a single global view. Candidates can increase career options while line managers can gain a larger pool of potential job candidates – in their own country and abroad. The talent warehouse provides recruiters with a wealth of possibilities for maintaining positive, active relationships with candidates. Finally, the talent warehouse is the basis for dedicated talent segmentation. Using the information provided through the talent warehouse, organizations can define their own groups of talents and implement targeted services and processes for different groups.

Candidate services

Candidates can use the talent warehouse to upload resumes and CVs, register their interests and skills, and even create a personal page. Using the information that candidates provide, organizations can establish and maintain long-term relationships with candidates as well as submit job offers, which applicants can access.

Requisition management and applicant tracking

Support from the job requisition stage and continues through to the closing of the job offer. A dashboard-type view enables recruiters to quickly focus on tasks that must be completed for a specific requisition, a specific date, or other factors. Requisition management functions enriched with planning and workflow tools enable an automated flow of information and tasks, streamlining the entire requisition process. SAP E-Recruiting assists your recruiters in managing various posting channels. For example, job postings can be directed automatically to internal channels and transported via an XML interface to external job boards. Powerful workflow functionality supports recruiters by automatically triggering rejections, invitations to interviews, and interview appointments, thereby coordinating the activities of all parties involved in the recruiting process.

Reporting

For operational work, the application offers a wide spectrum of reports and analyses tailored specifically to the needs of recruiters. These range from standard reports and work lists to ad hoc reports.

With SAP E-Recruiting and SAP BI, you can obtain key figures concerning time to hire as quickly and easily as you can get a broad perspective on the overall effectiveness of all your recruiting processes. As you look ahead, the application’s function for planning long-term workforce requirements enables you to analyze various sourcing strategies and measure achievements toward the strategic goal of corporate resourcing.
