CLARA now integrates with SAP SuccessFactors – Just in time

With SAP SuccessFactors rolling out new AI hiring features, there's never been a better time to add CLARA's ethical AI layer. While SAP's AI automates your hiring process, CLARA ensures it's actually improving your hiring quality.


What this means for your team

The integration enhances your current processes while minimizing the back-and-forth between different tools. When candidates are processed through CLARA, all relevant insights automatically sync to your SuccessFactors portal. Your hiring team can continue using the platform they're comfortable with while getting access to enhanced candidate data and intelligent screening and scoring capabilities–or log into CLARA for an ultra-modern experience.


Key features

SAP's latest AI update brings automation to SuccessFactors—but automation without ethics can amplify existing problems. Here's how CLARA’s easy-to-use tools complement and improve upon SAP's new capabilities:
  • Beyond AI job descriptions: SAP's AI writes job posts. CLARA ensures the candidates you attract are evaluated fairly, regardless of how they're sourced.
  • Smarter skills matching: SAP's AI matches keywords and experience. CLARA evaluates actual capabilities and soft skills using advanced Ai and research-backed assessments—finding talent that resume screening alone can miss. 
  • True bias mitigation: SAP's interview feedback insights are based on historical data. CLARA's ethical framework prevents that historical bias from influencing future decisions.


CLARA vs. SAP's new AI features: What makes the difference

  • Skills matching: SAP analyzes resumes for keyword matching. CLARA evaluates skills, traits like critical thinking, learning agility, and distance traveled,  and role fit beyond what's written on paper.
  • Bias mitigation: SAP's AI learns from historical hiring data which can lead to unintentional bias. CLARA's ethical AI framework actively identifies and mitigates bias from the evaluation process.
  • Candidate discovery: SAP's screening prioritizes obvious matches. CLARA uncovers 28% more high-potential candidates that traditional AI screening misses.
What SAP SuccessFactors' new AI can't do:
✓ True bias reduction: While SAP offers "data-driven decisions," CLARA ensures those decisions aren't built on biased historical data.
✓ Skills-first evaluation: Beyond resume parsing, CLARA assesses both hard and soft skills, leading to a wider qualified talent pool. 
✓ Hidden talent discovery: Find high-potential candidates that keyword or Boolean-based AI systems overlook.


Why this matters more than ever

SAP's new AI features will make SuccessFactors users faster at hiring—but speed without fairness can be dangerous. As your competitors adopt AI that may perpetuate bias, CLARA gives you the competitive advantage of AI that actually improves hiring outcomes. The question isn't whether to use AI in hiring—it's whether to use AI that helps or hurts your diversity and quality goals.


The impact

This integration addresses a real pain point for recruitment teams who often need to juggle multiple platforms to get complete candidate insights. By bringing CLARA's functionality directly into SuccessFactors, we're reducing the time spent switching between tools and ensuring important candidate information is available where you need it most. This helps you make better, faster decisions. And with no long integration timelines or complicated onboarding required, it’s quick to get started. 
Whether you're a recruiter looking for better candidate insights, a hiring manager making final decisions, or part of an IT team managing multiple systems, this integration streamlines the process while maintaining data consistency across platforms.


Getting started

The integration is available now for all CLARA users working with SuccessFactors ATS. Our team has designed the setup process to be straightforward, and we're here to help with implementation questions.
