Use AI To Close Skills Gaps Faster With SAP & Beamery

Why HR leaders need a modern approach to talent intelligence software

The right talent can jump-start your company’s growth – sparking new opportunities with fresh energy and insights. But finding that transformative talent gets tricky if you’re trying to meet shifting staff demands with manual candidate management. With disjointed processes, HR teams frequently struggle with:

  • Siloed, fragmented talent data
  • Outdated job architectures
  • Time-consuming candidate outreach
  • Poor skills analysis
  • Limited insights into changing workforce trends

Together, SAP SuccessFactors and Beamery tackle these challenges head-on, expanding your HCM suite with AI-driven talent intelligence software. Through the integration, you can synchronize critical recruitment processes – cutting your sourcing time by 75% and sourcing costs by 39%.

Embedded market insights and AI-supported recommendations also help you build a workforce ready for any challenge. With these capabilities at your fingertips, here’s how Beamery and SAP SuccessFactors can help jump-start your skill-driven workforce transformation.

Connect and contextualize your job and skills data

Without reliable skills and job data, your team can’t accurately track your organization’s shifting workforce needs – much less fill these roles with the right talent. Integrating with SAP SuccessFactors, Beamery’s Skills Intelligence and Task Intelligence platforms can streamline and contextualize your data, empowering proactive talent strategies.

Embedded proprietary AI models clean and enrich your data, creating a custom, structured framework connecting all your jobs, tasks, and skills. With these tools, you maintain a single source of truth across your talent management workflows, including hiring, mobility, and succession planning. By harmonizing your critical data, you can:

  • Design a dynamic job architecture taxonomy: Streamline new job details to the job profile builder in SAP SuccessFactors, so you can find potential skills gaps and reduce job description complexity by 97%
  • Build a comprehensive talent pool: Create a 360-degree view of every candidate with near real-time, bidirectional talent data synchronization with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting
  • Assess skills at a glance: Use accurately categorized skills data to empower your analysis capabilities within the talent intelligence hub in SAP SuccessFactors
  • Improve your data efficiency: AI-driven data management dramatically reduces manual data entry and errors, which can help increase recruiter efficiency by 50%
  • Support collaboration among stakeholders: Your business area managers and HR teams can rely on updated, harmonized data for collaborative decision-making and hiring
  • Enable agentic AI: Ray – Beamery’s agentic AI advisor– uses your contextualized data to understand your organization’s unique work structure, generating more accurate recommendations for smarter hiring and workforce decisions

Anticipate and fill skills gaps faster with real-time labor market insights

Identifying and attracting in-demand skills is vital for remaining resilient through market shifts. But without a bird's-eye view of the labor market, your recruitment team is flying blind. Beamery’s Talent Market Insights brings clarity by enhancing the talent intelligence hub in SAP SuccessFactors with real-time labor market data and trend analysis.

Using this knowledge base, you can adjust talent strategies based on changing market conditions. Predictive insights also help hiring managers better anticipate future competitive skills in your industry. With these tools, your business can stay competitive in a tightening labor pool. This market-driven approach helps you:

  • Estimate the number of potential candidates in your market: Get a realistic picture of available job candidates in a given area to precisely calibrate your workforce planning
  • Gauge hiring demands for specific roles in your industry: See how many other active job postings for the same position are competing with yours on the external market
  • Define average compensation benchmarks: Explore average salary ranges for specific roles by location so that you can attract desirable talent with competitive offerings
  • Track changing demands for specific skills: Discover which skills are emerging and sunsetting in your industry based on recent public job postings to better calibrate your workforce toward future demands
  • Set realistic time-to-fill projections for your vacant positions: Accurately estimate average timelines for filling your vacant roles by measuring how long postings for similar jobs typically stay open

Hire high-quality talent faster with AI-assisted sourcing

Finding potential candidates is just half the journey. Recruiters must also attract and secure coveted talent while competing with other offers. However, manually tracking potential candidates and maintaining engagement between platforms takes a logistical toll.

With SAP SuccessFactors and Beamery’s Talent Acquisition Execution Suite, HR teams can hire high-quality candidates faster with AI-enabled sourcing. Built-in analytics and communication tools accelerate every step of the process – from first contact to successful onboarding. See how intelligence-driven recruitment helps you:

  • Drive skills-based candidate matching: Identify best-fit candidates for open roles with AI-enabled talent matching, analyzing profile data from SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting for declared and inferred skills
  • Surface silver medalists and internal talent for reengagement: Use your contextualized talent database to find and reengage potential candidates among existing employees and previous applicants
  • Accelerate and personalize candidate outreach: Customize automated nurture e-mail and SMS campaigns based on their skill sets and previous engagement with your organization online or at live events
  • Turn your career site into a talent funnel: Capture talent information through search-optimized and up-to-date career websites with mobile-first conversational chatbots guiding candidates to apply
  • Gauge recruitment impact with hard data: Adjust sourcing strategies to maximize your ROI with real-time, data-driven insights into campaign performance, candidate engagement, and recruitment efficiency
  • Convert event attendees into applicants: Use one central platform to manage online and in-person events, capture attendee talent information, and schedule post-event interviews

Build a skills-based organization ready for market shifts

Hiring talent as needed is no longer enough in today’s competitive labor climate. Proactive, data-driven talent strategies help secure the essential skills you need to grow and thrive.
