SAP SuccessFactors Integration

Where Talent Meets Intelligence

Unlock Your Workforce's
Full Potential

Transforming talent takes the right strategy, science, and tools—tools that combine insightful data and analytics with the workflows and processes you manage every day. That’s why Korn Ferry and SAP teamed up to create a smarter, more connected way to manage talent—helping you unlock potential and align people with business goals.

With Korn Ferry’s best-in-class Success Profiles embedded right in SuccessFactors, every talent decision becomes clear. Success Profiles don’t just describe jobs—they bring clarity and precision to recruiting, hiring, performance, development, and beyond. That means you can:

  • Identify the right talent for the right roles
  • Maximize individual and team performance
  • Build skills-based development pathways to fill business needs
  • Build future-ready succession plans to move the business forward

Technology Anchored in Best-in-Class Success Profiles 

Anchoring our integration are Korn Ferry’s Success Profiles. Developed from decades of research and a database of over 10 billion benchmarks and insights on assessments, rewards, retention, and engagement, Success Profiles define what “great” looks like in any role.

Benchmark for Success

Define the exact skills, behaviors, and traits that drive optimal performance in each role—across industries, organizational structures, and levels, all the way up to leadership.

Anticipate Needs

Success Profiles go beyond technical skills to anticipate needs, align with business strategy, and identify talent gaps, serving as a blueprint for building and acquiring top talent.

Align Your Talent Strategy

Korn Ferry’s entire Talent Suite is built on the insights Success Profiles uncover. This means we provide a clear path towards performance excellence, and the flexible, extensible digital tools to help you achieve it.

Success Profiles

What makes Success Profiles unique is that they provide a whole-person view of talent across 10,000+ profiles—covering over 30,000 job titles. Each profile defines:

  • Accountability: Responsibility levels, complexity, and impact
  • Capability: Skills, experience, education, and traits
  • Identity: Drivers, personality, and cognitive strengths

Powered by the world’s largest normative talent database, we continuously analyze and benchmark our profiles so that they remain dynamic and aligned to skills demands.
