Overall Satisfaction with SAP SuccessFactors

SAP SuccessFactors helps manage onboarding paperwork sent to candidates. It's easy to view if the candidate has completed the paperwork or not. We do not use this tool for recruiting anymore but have within the past year. This was used previously as an applicant tracking system to manage candidates and make offers when ready. We also use this tool for our performance measurement. We input goals and our manager responds.
  • Allow you to see what stage the candidate is in with their Onboarding paperwork
  • Allows users to resend onboarding paperwork to candidates as needed
  • A good way to communicate your goals and have manager response to them
  • The system all together is very slow compared to others
  • It is not visually pleasing and needs updates
  • Better automation of tasks (staging candidates)
  • Easier accessibility to onboarding paperwork review
I was not around during the integration stage of SAP SuccessFactors with my company.
I am not aware of the global compliance standards and localization ability aspects of SAP SuccessFactors.
Lever is mainly an applicant tracking system but it is way easier to use, faster, and more visually appealing compared to SAP SuccessFactors. There are also lots of small features like email templates and "@" for a colleague that is not in SAP SuccessFactors.

Okta Workflows (Azuqua), Google Workspace
SAP SuccessFactors provides many different uses such as candidate management, onboarding, employee performance goals, etc. It can come in handy with all of the different features. The con is that the system is out of date. It's slow and it doesn't have as many advanced features for specific sections such as recruiting/candidate management.
