SeekOut integrates with your SAP SuccessFactors account, allowing you to export candidate information from SeekOut and turn it into SAP SuccessFactors candidate profiles, complete with contact information and work/education history.

Candidate data can be sent to SAP SuccessFactors as prospects or attached to an existing job.

This article covers how to set up your integration, as well as how to export candidate info from SeekOut to SAP SuccessFactors.

You will need to create a new account in SuccessFactors with the following security permissions:

You'll be entering the account username, customer ID, password, and your service endpoint. The service endpoint should be in the following format:

https://{apiId}.successfactors.com/

Reach out to SuccessFactors support for assistance with creating an account with these permissions or getting your service endpoint.

On the Integrations page, locate SAP SuccessFactors from the list and click the Connect button.

On the Capabilities tab, check the box next to Export. Click Confirm Choices to continue to the next step.

On the Credentials tab, enter your Username@{customerID}, Password, and service endpoint from SAP SuccessFactors. Be sure to include the trailing slash / at the end of the service endpoint URL.

Click Submit to save your credentials. SeekOut will automatically attempt to verify your connection. This will check integration permissions and send a test record to SuccessFactors.

Choose either Export as Prospect or select a job from the jobs list and click Verify.

When the ‘All Good’ message appears, click Finish and check your ATS to ensure the test candidate has been successfully added.

When successful, SAP SuccessFactors will appear at the top of your Integrations page with a green check mark.

On the Integrations page, click the arrow next to a connected integration to Edit or Remove the integration from your SeekOut account.

To export all candidates in a project to SAP SuccessFactors, go to your SeekOut project, click the Export icon and choose Export All to SAP SuccessFactors.

Note: Contact information such as email addresses and phone numbers will only appear in your export if you click Get Email for All and Get Phone for All before exporting.

Alternatively, you can export select candidates from SeekOut by clicking the box next to their profile, clicking Export and then selecting Export X to SAP SuccessFactors.

Clicking Export to SAP SuccessFactors will cause a pop-up window will appear.

You can select a job from the dropdown menu or export the candidates as prospects. If your ATS does not support candidate profiles without email addresses, check the box Generate dummy email addresses for candidates.

Click the Export button to export candidates to SAP SuccessFactors.

If successful, you will see a confirmation pop-up message that says "Export Complete."

By default, SeekOut will not transmit profiles that have already been successfully exported to prevent duplicate records in your ATS. Candidates that have been exported will display a confirmation icon and the name of your ATS in their SeekOut profile.

Check the box Include previously exported candidate(s) if you're exporting the same candidates to your ATS again.
