This article is for setting up a two-way integration between SeekOut and SAP SuccessFactors. To learn about the one-way export feature, see our article here.
Sort through candidate data from your ATS using SeekOut's powerful search engine and filters. Your SAP SuccessFactors data is mirrored within SeekOut every day, and SeekOut enriches your data with social links, work history, and education. SAP SuccessFactors Stage and Status filters are available in a collapsible search menu.
Setting up the SAP SuccessFactors Integration
Before You Begin
You will need to create a new account in SuccessFactors with Candidate READ permissions. You'll be entering the account username and password, as well as your service endpoint. SuccessFactors support can help you find your service endpoint.
Accessing Integrations
Click your initials at the top right of the SeekOut dashboard, then select Integrations.
Don't see the Integrations option in your menu? Contact your Customer Success Manager or support@seekout.io and ask to enable ATS integrations for your org.
Connecting to SAP SuccessFactors
On the Integrations page, locate SAP SuccessFactors in the Rediscovery section and click Connect. Leave SAP SuccessFactors in the Name field, and enter your username, password, and service endpoint from SuccessFactors.
Click Save to save your integration settings.
Removing the Integration
Click the three-dots next to a connected integration to Edit or Remove the integration from your SeekOut account.
Connection Stages
Indexing...
The ATS is connected and SeekOut is indexing candidates from SAP SuccessFactors into SeekOut. This process takes up to four hours. Not all candidates will be visible in the Your ATS tab during the Indexing phase.
Connected / Start ATS Search
Candidates have been indexed from SAP SuccessFactors into SeekOut. Candidates can be viewed in the Your ATS tab. The index of SAP SuccessFactors candidates is updated every four hours.
Click Start ATS Search to go to the Your ATS tab.
How to use Rediscovery
Click Your ATS on the Search page to display candidates from SAP SuccessFactors.
Your ATS has the same search functions that are available in the Public Profiles tab. Use keywords, Boolean, power filters, and diversity filters to refine your search.
Unique features in Your ATS
The Your ATS tab has two additional features:
- A set of filters specific to your ATS (highlighted in blue below)
- The candidate's status, job application, resume, and contact information from SuccessFactors (highlighted in yellow below)
ATS Filters (blue)
The following filter categories are viewable on the Your ATS tab:
- Status
- Job
- Source
- Recruiter
- Name of the recruiter assigned to the candidate in the ATS
- Last Updated
The exact filters available will depend on the data in your SAP SuccessFactors instance. For example, if your org does not have any candidates assigned to the Technical Phone Screen stage, then that filter will not be shown in SeekOut.
Candidate ATS Status (yellow)
An overview of the candidate's status in SAP SuccessFactors.

- Email
- This is the candidate's email from your ATS, not from SeekOut
