SmartRecruiters is SAP’s new next-generation recruiting solution, replacing the legacy SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting module. It provides a modern, AI-enabled Apply-to-Hire platform with better sourcing, screening, collaboration, and candidate experience. From March 2026, SmartRecruiters becomes the standard recruiting engine for SAP customers, fully aligned to SAP’s new talent architecture.
SAP selected SmartRecruiters to deliver a more intuitive, scalable, and modern recruiting experience. Customers gain stronger sourcing reach, AI-assisted matching, advanced workflows, and improved candidate engagement — capabilities that exceed what the SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting module can support today. The shift positions organisations for faster hiring and a future-proof talent acquisition strategy.
SmartRecruiters appears on the SAP Price Book from December 2025 and can be purchased immediately. The SAP-enabled version becomes available for implementation in March 2026, once SAP releases partner enablement and certification. Zalaris helps organisations prepare early so they can begin implementation as soon as the solution is officially available.
SmartRecruiters integrates with SAP SuccessFactors to support a unified Apply-to-Hire process. It connects with SAP Talent Hub, SAP Skills Graph, and the broader SAP talent ecosystem. Future enhancements, such as skills ingestion via Cobrainer and Winston ↔ SAP Joule AI, will deepen integration and support SAP’s long-term strategy for skills-based talent management.
SmartRecruiters provides major improvements including multi-channel sourcing, AI-powered screening, collaborative evaluation tools, modern candidate experience, streamlined offers, and richer analytics. It delivers faster hiring, reduced manual effort, higher-quality talent pipelines, and consistent global workflows — addressing long-standing limitations in the SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting module.
Zalaris helps customers adopt SmartRecruiters with solution design, configuration, integration planning, workflow optimisation, and change enablement. We focus on streamlining sourcing, screening, selection, and offer processes so organisations see immediate value. Our consulting expertise ensures SmartRecruiters is implemented with scalable, efficient, and best-practice recruiting processes.
As SAP transitions from SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting to SmartRecruiters, Zalaris provides readiness assessments, process simplification, configuration mapping, and migration planning. We help customers understand how their current processes will translate into SmartRecruiters and prepare for the migration tooling SAP is validating for 2026 — ensuring a smooth, low-risk transition.
Yes. SmartRecruiters will take over SAP’s Onboarding product line. Zalaris helps organisations evaluate how their existing SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding workflows will evolve, plan transition options, maintain compliance during the shift, and design an improved onboarding experience that aligns with the SmartRecruiters platform.
Absolutely. SmartRecruiters is built for enterprise organisations and supports high-volume hiring, multi-language capability, region-specific compliance, and distributed hiring teams. It provides a scalable, global recruitment platform suitable for companies operating across multiple countries, industries, and regulatory environments
