Case Study: Kinross achieves streamlined recruiting and greater internal talent mobility with SAP SuccessFactors

Kinross Mining the Workforce to Find the Best Talent with SAP SuccessFactors Solutions

Kinross Gold Corporation, a global gold‑mining company, faced fragmented, nonstandard recruitment processes, a poor candidate experience (applicants sometimes had to apply twice), and low internal mobility (only about 14% of roles were being filled internally). To tackle these issues, Kinross implemented SAP SuccessFactors Talent Management solutions — including Recruiting, Performance & Goals, Compensation, and Succession & Development — with implementation partner Deloitte.

With SAP SuccessFactors, Kinross standardized recruiting across the organization, built internal talent pools, gave managers visibility into candidate pipelines, and moved from manual email approvals to faster electronic and mobile approvals. The solution also simplified applications (eliminating duplicate submissions), introduced one‑to‑one performance conversations, and enabled more flexible compensation allocation — delivering streamlined hiring with reduced turnaround times, improved manager‑recruiter collaboration, and greater use of internal talent for succession planning.
