Case Study: Welthungerhilfe achieves faster emergency response and streamlined recruiting with SAP SuccessFactors

How Do You Bring Together the Right People to Help End Hunger

Welthungerhilfe, one of Germany’s largest nonprofit NGOs with 2,523 employees working in 39 countries, needed to recruit and rapidly mobilize staff with the right skills and resilience for high‑stress disaster response roles. To replace slow, paper‑based hiring processes and to support its “emergency staff pool,” Welthungerhilfe deployed SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting and SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding.

SAP SuccessFactors digitalized and automated recruitment and onboarding, enabling detailed filtering by skill, location and availability and allowing HR to find qualified, ready‑to‑deploy employees in minutes (including identifying those available to fly out within 24 hours). The solution accelerated crisis response, optimized recruitment workflows, freed HR time, reduced operating costs, and helped redirect funds to frontline aid projects.
