Taking Talent Relationship Management Beyond
Applicant Tracking
Todays corporate leaders recognize that an organizations
strength rests on the shoulders of its employees. This has
increased concerns about locating and attracting top talent in
all markets, today and for the future. Succession planning and
growing and grooming the workforce of tomorrow are com-
mon corporate themes. Talent relationship management is a
cutting-edge approach to enhancing your ability to attract and
acquire the talent you need to build a skilled and educated
workforce. SAP bases its software for recruiting on a talentmanagement strategy that seeks to optimize the core processes
in managing a workforce: attracting, acquiring, educating, and
developing talent; identifying and growing future leaders; and
aligning and motivating talent with corporate objectives.
Keeping Up in a Fast-Paced Field
The search for tomorrows workforce is becoming increasingly
demanding for several reasons. Some industries are facing
shortages of needed skills, while others are challenged to replace
their aging workforce. Worldwide competition is increasing
for the best personnel. Searching for exceptional candidates
places a difficult burden on HR directors, many of whom are
being deluged with unsolicited resumes. Organizations can
tackle these issues by embracing a talent relationship manage-
ment approach that includes employer branding, smarter
personnel marketing, and streamlined Internet-based recruiting
processes.
Savvy organizations worldwide
recognize the value of hiring
and retaining excellent employ-
ees and contractors. These
organizations are enhancing
their recruiting strategies to
ensure they can maintain their
brand, overcome talent short-
ages, and build the staff on
which their future depends.
Like you, they are competing
for a finite supply of skilled
employees from a constantly
shifting global pool of candi-
dates. The SAP E-Recruiting
application supports the inte-
grated electronic recruiting
management strategies you
need to create the workforce
of tomorrow.

Organizations that seek to acquire talent in the most efficient
way possible must integrate their external and internal recruit-
ing efforts while adding freelancers, consultants, and other
temporary workers to the mix. Smart organizations are using
the Internet to integrate new online recruiting methods into
their business practices. This enables them to target and
approach appropriate applicants quickly and implement
a more cost-effective recruiting procedure.
SAP E-Recruiting Increases Recruiting Efficiency
and Productivity
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 decisivelystrengthens the contribution that the recruiting function makes
to your companys 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.
The software helps you manage the whole recruiting process
chain, from planning and budgeting to attracting candidates,
hiring, and retaining employees. It involves all participants in the
recruiting process, including hiring managers. SAP E-Recruiting
optimizes recruiters work patterns and increases their produc-
tivity and eff iciency. It also provides sophisticated mechanisms
for measuring and mapping recruiting efficiency.
By supporting the integration of recruiting processes with inter-
nal HR systems, SAP E-Recruiting can automate the flow of
information and processes. In addition, the application provides
new Web services that link external recruiting instruments, such
as online recruiting service providers, and provide the ability topost employment opportunities on external job boards.
Additional new functionality automates the generation of
HR administrative forms to quickly and efficiently support the
hiring of new candidates. The result is collaboration of all
internal employees and external partners in the recruiting chain.
Paving the Way for a Future-Oriented Personnel
Marketing Strategy
SAP E-Recruiting helps you accelerate and streamline the
recruiting process more than any of the traditional methods
of applicant management by employing collaborative methods
to promote cross-enterprise cooperation. Through browser
interfaces (which can be tailored to the requirements of specific
roles, countries, companies, and so on), candidates, line man-
agers, and recruiters all have efficient access to the information
and services they need to fulfill their tasks or roles in the
recruiting process chain.
Thanks to its wide variety of innovative functions, SAP E-Recruit-
ing is paving the way to future-oriented personnel management.
The following elements, core functions of modern recruiting,
form the backbone of the application: talent warehouse, recruiter
tool, and analytics.
Talent Warehouse Enhances Opportunities
with Self-Services
Talent relationship management is a forward-looking approach
to managing candidate relations that documents their desires,qualifications, and potential on a long-term basis. In the area of
recruiting, the foundation for relationship management is the
With SAP E-Recruiting, we can
improve personnel selection while

talent warehouse, an advanced talent database that enables
recruiters to plan for, find, track, and manage potential em-
ployees and external candidates. Extensive navigation functions
make it easy for recruiters to search for and match talent to
personnel requirements. The talent database also improves
their ability to manage prospects and find suitable candidates
for open positions by providing advanced searches for ideal
candidates and clear classification and ranking of candidates.
The self-services that applicants use to access the talent ware-
house are just as user-friendly. Candidates can use the talent
warehouse to upload resumes and CVs, register their interests
and skills, and even create a personal page. Using the informa-
tion that candidates provide, organizations can establish and
maintain long-term relationships with candidates as well as
submit job offers, which applicants can access.
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.
The Recruiter Tool Provides Faster, Easier Administration
The recruiter tool is designed to make recruiters administrative
tasks easier by introducing functions that noticeably increase
speed, eff iciency, and cost-effectiveness throughout the entire
application process. Support from the recruiter tool is available
right 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 fora specific requisition, a specif ic 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. An array
of self-service functions significantly improves your recruiters
efficiency by enabling them to create and submit job require-
ment profiles for approval; view candidate shortlists, profiles,
and application data; and respond to questionnaires about
candidates.
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. Your recruiters can work
through applications that come in from multiple channels,
including postal and online. 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. When integrated with a document management
solution, the application can handle electronic documents
and archived documents that have been sent and received.
This functionality completes the cycle of recruiting support
without affecting the openness afforded by the applications
ability to integrate with other solutions, such as personnel
planning, organizational management, and financials.
SAP E-Recruiting has helped us
handle administration more efficiently
and considerably improve commu-
nication processes between human
resources, other departments, and our
works council. We can now concentrate
more on value-added processes in
human resources.
