Case Study: Sulzer GmbH achieves faster hiring and 25% HR cost savings with SAP SuccessFactors

How Does an IT Consultant Come Out on Top in the Battle for Talent

Sulzer GmbH, an IT services provider with about 900 employees across 20 countries, was struggling with disparate, outdated HR systems that reduced visibility and hindered talent attraction, development, and retention. To gain an integrated, cloud-based HR platform, Sulzer turned to SAP SuccessFactors—deploying Employee Central, Recruiting, Onboarding, and Learning (with support from metafinanz)—to give managers and recruiters instant access to workforce data and provide employees with mobile self-service.

SAP SuccessFactors implemented a single-source cloud HRIS, mobile access, and streamlined recruiting, onboarding, and learning processes—enabling one-click personnel cost reports that previously took a month, building a pool of 6,000 prospective candidates in five months, and cutting HR operations costs by 25%. The SAP SuccessFactors solution improved recruiter and candidate experience, accelerated hiring and upskilling, and gave managers the data to make faster, data-driven people decisions.
