Do you often search for things you want to order, e.g. at Amazon? Aren’t you happy to get some suggestions as soon as you type the first letters so you can scroll down and just select the item you are looking for? I love this functionality.
You now can search across SuccessFactors® HCM Suite. Our Enhanced Search Engine enables you to do a similar search experience as you are used to having on the internet. This search engine helps you to find employees by just starting to type the name of an employee in the search box. Additionally, you can also trigger actions very easily by entering a search term and getting a proposal of possible actions related to this search term. You can just select the appropriate action from the list of proposals.
