In today’s dynamic business environment, recruiting must be faster, smarter, and more efficient—often with fewer resources. This presentation explores a global company’s transformation journey from a manual, fragmented recruiting process to a streamlined, technology-supported system. The key driver: optimizing recruitment with minimal headcount by leveraging automation to reduce administrative burden. Tools such as SAP SuccessFactors and SmartRecruitment played a pivotal role in automating talent pre-selection, background checks, contract creation, onboarding, and digital signature workflows. However, the path to transformation was not without challenges—particularly in implementing the technology globally and managing the significant change for teams. The presentation offers honest insights into what it really takes to move from traditional methods to automated workflows, how to align tools with local compliance requirements, and why administrative complexity is often underestimated. It also looks ahead to the integration of a comprehensive reporting suite and HR data tools that will further improve recruitment efficiency and decision-making.
