Case Study: Schindler Group achieves unified global talent management and faster, cost‑efficient hiring with SAP SuccessFactors

Elevating Talent Management from 0 to 100 with SAP SuccessFactors Solutions

Schindler Group, a global leader in elevators and escalators that moves about 1 billion people daily, faced a fragmented approach to talent management across its many independent companies and fast‑growing markets—especially in Asia. To retain top talent, boost engagement and leadership, and create a single transparent talent template, Schindler Group turned to SAP SuccessFactors and its integrated talent management solutions.

SAP SuccessFactors implemented a suite including Recruiting, Performance & Goals, Succession & Development, and Compensation (with plans to add Employee Central, Learning, and Onboarding), deployed with partners such as skillpartners, Deloitte, and Pentos. The solution put talent management processes into one template across 50 countries, with Recruiting live in 40 countries, reduced headhunter and agency costs, improved internal hiring and hiring speed in high‑growth markets, and delivered measurable HR efficiency gains and cost savings for Schindler Group.
