For years, one common feedback echoed across conversations with Talent Acquisition leaders, recruiters, and HR transformation teams:
Candidates drop off during the application process because they don’t have guidance.
We need conversational AI on our career site, but we don’t want to replace our Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
This gap created friction in candidate experience. While organisations invested heavily in employer branding and modern career sites, candidates still struggled with navigating job searches, understanding requirements, and completing applications.
But that changes now. SAP has introduced a powerful new capability in the 1H 2026 release: integration with SmartRecruiters Winston Chat. AI‑driven guidance is now available for SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, without requiring an immediate replacement of your current ATS.

This integration goes beyond a simple chatbot. It gives candidates intelligent guidance and supports the future of AI‑driven recruiting, while keeping SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting as your core ATS.
Let’s think about this example…a global manufacturing organisation operating across multiple regions may face a familiar issue. Their career site attracts strong traffic, but low application completion rate. Candidates frequently contact recruiters for basic queries such as:

And this translates into candidates abandoning the process midway or recruiters spending time answering repetitive questions instead of focusing on higher value work.
With SmartRecruiters Winston Chat integrated with SAP SuccessFactors, organisations can create a more guided candidate experience:
Modernising your candidate experience is now easier, without needing to replace SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting immediately.
With this integration, you can:
At Talenteam, we can help you evaluate readiness, design conversational journeys, configure the integration and optimise candidate engagement.
