Case Study: Welthungerhilfe accelerates humanitarian recruiting and emergency response with SAP SuccessFactors

Mobilizing Employees to Deliver Essential Support with SAP SuccessFactors Solutions

Welthungerhilfe, a German nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating global hunger, faced significant challenges in its recruitment and onboarding processes. Their paper-based system was slow and inefficient, making it difficult to swiftly identify and hire employees with the specific skills and resilience needed to work in high-stress disaster zones and development projects. This inefficiency hampered their ability to rapidly deploy emergency responders, which is critical to their life-saving mission.

SAP implemented its SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting and Onboarding solutions to digitalize Welthungerhilfe's HR workflows. This allowed the organization to quickly filter applicants by skill and experience and, most importantly, manage an "emergency staff pool" to identify available experts for immediate deployment. The solution from SAP enabled Welthungerhilfe to find the right staff in minutes instead of days, accelerating crisis response, reducing operating costs, and freeing up more resources for essential aid projects.
