There are several ways in which AI technology can enhance HR processes and systems. A variety of AI types are used within SAP SuccessFactors' Human Resources platform, from predictive AI to generational AI to conversational AI.

Artificial intelligence is a key component of SAP's portfolio

As AI is already integrated into your most critical business systems, we think it should be readily available on day 1. As a result of its extensive industry-specific data and deep knowledge of processes, it works across your entire business. It enables you to apply AI confidently since it is designed using responsible AI practices.  SAP's solution portfolio fully integrates AI capabilities across all major end-to-end business processes.

Where is AI being used in SAP SuccessFactors solutions?

Predictive AI: AI and ML technology that analyzes HXM data to make personalized recommendations

Ex: Talent intelligence hub, Job Analyzer, Career Explorer

Generative AI: Generative AI combined with the context of business data and business processes in the flow of work

Ex:  AI-powered writing assistant, Interview question generation

Conversational AI: AI-driven chatbot that uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand and provide answers to many requests or perform certain tasks

Ex: SAP Digital Assistant

Let’s take a look at where SAP AI capabilities are being embedded in the SAP SuccessFactors solution suite.

Job Analyzer:

The Job Analyzer is designed to help you create the best job description possible by providing salary and language recommendations. This unique capability is made possible by the use of machine learning techniques, combined with historical applicant data to determine any gender-biased language.

Currently, gender bias scan and skills analysis are available for any English language Job Requisition, while salary analysis is only available for jobs located in the US.

Career Explorer

SAP SuccessFactors Career Explorer uses machine learning technology to suggest career opportunities based on the career paths of similar employees.

It is often difficult to achieve career growth through one-size-fits-all approaches. Machine learning is used by SAP SuccessFactors to deliver personalized career recommendations through Career Explorer. AI-powered Career Explorer suggests new opportunities based on an employee's profile, skills, and similar colleagues' paths.

Employees can explore alternative career paths taken by other employees with shared interests and experiences rather than being restricted to traditional hierarchical career paths. It identifies unseen opportunities that employees might not have discovered otherwise through AI-driven approaches that respect individual preferences.
