Bon Secours turns to SuccessFactors
to transform recruiting practices
Since 1824, the Sisters of Bon Secours have brought compassion, healing, and liberation to
those they serve. Whether in healthcare, education, or social services; in hospitals, clinics, or
parishes; or in towns, cities, or isolated villages, Bon Secours responds to a universal need: to
provide to all who suffer a reason to live and a reason to hope.
Challenge
Bon Secours was struggling with a silo-type environment:
Separate applicant tracking system, HRIS, talent assessment processes, and advertising and
branding strategies for recruiting in each facility
Duplicated job postings
No quantitative way to understand the most effective sources of applicants
Inordinate expenses and inefficient recruiting practices
Solution
Bon Secours Health System deployed SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing and Mobile Career
Sites applications, and it piloted a trial version of Advanced Analytics to:
Automate, streamline, and centralize marketing activities
Share talent across geographies and job families quickly and effectively
Results
Bon Secours Health System achieved the following business results:
Automation of job distribution to more online channels
Creation of a proprietary talent community, a talent pipeline of more than 90,000 subscribers
Frequent first-page Google search results and a 40 percent increase in search engine visitors
Tracking over six months of more than one million visitors, with more than 100,000 applicants
Visibility into which sources produce the highest-quality candidates
Better media decisions and reduced spend on print advertising and headhunter budgets
Accurate cost-per-applicant and cost-per-hire metrics
SuccessFactors takes away all the
geographical boundaries and allows candidates
to see multiple positions. Coupled with a collaborative
set of measurements, we now have the ability to
generate more candidates per position and understand
our best sources of hire.

SuccessFactors partnered with
Hasbros talent acquisition team in
a complete re-imagination of the
companys career website
Hasbro is a branded play company providing children and families around the world with a
wide range of immersive entertainment offerings based on the companys world-class brand
portfolio. From toys and games to television programming, motion pictures, digital gaming,
and a comprehensive licensing program, Hasbro strives to delight its global customers with
well-known and beloved brands such as Transformers, Littlest Pet Shop, Nerf, Playskool, My
Little Pony, G.I. Joe, Magic: the Gathering, and Monopoly.
Challenge
Hasbro needed to address the following challenges:
The career site merely listed available job opportunitiespotential employees were not being
engaged.
The site lacked relevance to the way todays job seekers want to interact with a prospective
employer.
No social media functionality was in place.
Solution
SuccessFactors partnered with Hasbros talent acquisition team in a complete re-imagination of
the companys career website:
The site better reflects the companys creative culture.
Hasbro leveraged technology for social media and search engine optimization (SEO).
The new site delivers a positive candidate experience.
Results
Hasbro achieved the following business results:
More than 655,000 career site visitors from September 1, 2011, to June 1, 2012, of which more
than 22,000 joined Hasbros talent community
Four new hires as a direct result of applying via mobile phone
Analytics for cost-saving information
Our new careers site does so much more than provide
a list of available roles; it drives candidate engagement,
supports a strong employment brand, and encourages
job seekers to continue clicking to learn more.

Dramatic increase in applicants saves
HCR ManorCare resources and dollars
The HCR ManorCare healthcare family comprises centers that are leading providers of
short-term post-acute services and long-term care. With 60,000 caregivers nationwide, the
HCR ManorCare centers are preeminent care providers in their communities. Quality care for
patients and residents is provided through a network of more than 500 skilled nursing and
rehabilitation centers, assisted living facilities, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and hospice
and home healthcare agencies.
Challenge
HCR ManorCare needed to hire 30,000 people annually, many in tough-to-hire positions such as
nursing and therapy. During its recruiting efforts, the company overspent in unproductive areas.
Newspaper advertisements and job boards proved to be expensive and ineffective, especially for
difficult-to-fill positions:
A decentralized recruiting structure led to a shotgun approach.
The career site was unable to handle passive candidates, so thousands of potential hires were
being lost simply because they did not immediately apply and were not cultivated into a talent
community.
Solution
By using the dashboard within SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing, HCR ManorCare could
capture key data to determine the right ad words and the relative value of each source. The
benefits of the solution include the following:
Visitor and applicant flow increased while the cost per applicant dramatically decreased.
The overall number of candidates increased in spite of a 50 percent overall reduction in
recruitment advertising expense.
Job posting became more centralized and search capabilities improved through all HCR
ManorCare sites.
Recruiters have a growing pool of more than 250,000 subscribers to mine.
Results
HCR ManorCare achieved the following business results:
Increased applicant flow by 90 percent
Eliminated print advertising due to lack of return of this advertising investment
Reduced cost per hire by 50 percent
Improved the entire candidate experience
Created and now continually grow a significant talent community and talent pipeline
Gained complete reporting of sourcing activity by source to job and applicant level
Jobs2Web (SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing) has helped HCR ManorCare
identify, develop, and track new recruitment channels to drive increased
candidate traffic directly to HCR ManorCare at a significantly lower overall cost.
Having a clear line of sight into the performance of various sources is the key.
At HCR ManorCare, we measure everything with very detailed analytics. Using
Jobs2Web, we are able to apply the same rigorous standards and measurement
to recruitment.

After more than a century of success Leggett & Platt was faced with declining growth and a
stagnant stock price. The CEO and senior management designed a radically new strategy to
boost business results and improve the stock. To obtain the workforce that Leggett & Platt
needed to execute on its new strategy, it needed to address the following challenges:
Needed better hires to execute their business strategy (goal of 75% A-player hire rate)

Solution

Novo Nordisk is a global healthcare company with 89 years of innovation and leadership in
diabetes care. Headquartered in Denmark, Novo Nordisk employs approximately 39,000
employees globally and markets its products in more than 190 countries.
Challenge
Keeping pace with rapid growth is challenging without compromising the quality of talent. It
becomes even more complex in the pharmaceutical industry where heavy regulation, specialist
skills, and highly specified positions can be difficult to fill. The U.S. team of Novo Nordisk needed to:
Address difficult-to-fill positions and the need for access to a wider range of talent and skills
Reduce cost per hire and lost productivity on vacant positions, which averaged five to seven months
Reduce reliance on and cost of recruitment agencies85 percent of positions were filled by agencies
Solution
With SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing (formerly Jobs2Web), the company could:
Fill difficult-to-fill positions in fewer than 90 days without the need for an agency
Duplicate the same best-practice approach across all U.S. vacancies
Create a talent community to build and nurture a pipeline of talent over two to five years
Results
Novo Nordisk achieved the following business results:
Gained significant cost savings over the past four years
Reduced time to fill on critical positions by 40 percent and reduced lost productivity on
unfilled vacancies
Reduced agency fees for critical positions by 47 percent and by as much as 90 percent in
some areas
Built and can now track a talent community in the United States of over 200,000 people
Consolidated the number of recruitment agencies from 350 down to just 35
Negotiated better terms with its remaining agencies, and aligned them to specific business areas
Increased quality of hires by 35 percent
Lowered attrition from 5 percent to less than 3 percent
Can track visible spend and ROI with multiple recruitment media sources
Can power the career section on its own website and measure the quality of hires retrospectively
Gained the ability to track ROI on difficult-to-quantify external job fairs and recruitment events
The results weve seen to date with SuccessFactors
Recruiting Marketing have been nothing short of
spectacular in terms of cost savings, productivity
increases, and operational insight.

SuccessFactors solutions alongside its SAP HR and financials solutions. With the assistance

software, and delivers business alignment, team execution, people performance, and learning
management solutions to organizations of all sizes across more than 60 industries.
Headquartered in South San Francisco, California, SuccessFactors was acquired by SAP
America in December 2011.
Challenge
Like most software vendors, SuccessFactors competes intensely to land the most talented and
skillful employees. But until recently, SuccessFactors struggled to identify its most valuable
recruiting sources. As it looked for ways to recruit:
No way to track applicants throughout the recruiting process.
No visibility into the effectiveness of recruiting marketing campaigns.
Need to drive more traffic to the companys careers website.

SuccessFactors Solutions
Sun Communities is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (REIT) with a portfolio of
approximately 68,300 developed sites. The company owns and operates 185 manufactured
housing and recreational vehicle communities in 25 states. Established in 1975, Sun
Communities became a publicly owned corporation in December 1993 and is listed on
the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SUI.
Challenge
When customers walk into a Sun Communities manufactured housing community or RV resort,
the first thing they notice is the superior service they receive. The company sees its people as its
differentiator from the rest of the industry. Thats why Sun Communities needed to address the
following challenges:
Recruiting and onboarding revolved around paper job applications and manual data entry
Niche HR systems required too much work to integrate and couldnt scale to the
companys growth
HR was spending its time on data management rather than talent management
Solution
Sun Communities watched demos and reviewed proposals from several HR software vendors
before selecting SuccessFactors. The company implemented an integrated platform that included
SuccessFactors Employee Central, Performance & Goals, Succession & Development, Recruiting,
Learning, and SAP Jam. Using these modules, Sun Communities was able to:
Go live at a reasonable cost
Receive significant product enhancements quarterly, without additional effort

information, and each other. Time Warner Cable Business Class offers data, video, and voice
services to businesses of all sizes, cell tower backhaul services to wireless carriers, and,
through its NaviSite subsidiary, managed and outsourced information technology solutions
and cloud services.
Challenge
Time Warner Cable needed solutions for building a talent community and for improving job
publishing and search engine optimization (SEO):
The company initially used a hybrid approach and experienced difficulties as complex

Key knowledge resources were no longer available.
Solution
Time Warner Cable deployed SuccessFactors own Talent Community, encompassing the
adoption of the Business Card feature:
Automated all job feed sources and included the requisite performance metrics to track progress
Completely integrated the career site to achieve optimal results in building the talent community,
creating an enhanced and consistent candidate experience, and facilitating measurement
Undergirded all the solutions with advanced analytics to empower better decision making

Time Warner achieved the following business results:
By August 2011, job feeds were set up for all major sources, and 317,245 visitors in
September garnered 31,883 applies.
All outside doors to the applicant tracking system were closed by fully integrating the entire
