Case Study: Salling Group achieves rapid mobile recruiting and 90% cut in store manager admin time with SAP SuccessFactors

Salling Group Sharpening a Competitive Edge in the Retail Industry’s Relentless War for Talent

Salling Group, a Danish retailer with 54,000 employees and more than 1,400 stores, needed to recruit rapidly at scale amid high turnover while reducing the administrative burden on store managers. To modernize and digitize its talent processes the company turned to SAP SuccessFactors, leveraging SAP Cloud Platform and SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, Learning, Performance & Goals, and Compensation solutions.

SAP SuccessFactors helped deliver FastHire, a mobile-first recruiting and onboarding app (built with partners Gavdi/Gavdi Labs) that centralizes job posting, candidate search, automated contracts and onboarding. The solution cut store managers’ administrative time by 90%, reduced job posting time from 3 days to 15 seconds, enabled applications in under 2 minutes, supports ~30,000 hires per year and 42,000 employment contracts annually, and vastly improved the candidate experience and Salling Group’s competitiveness for talent.
