Adobe Sign for SAP SuccessFactors: Recruiting

Job Requsition and application is a straight forward, two-phase process:

• Configure the employee in SAP SuccessFactors
• Sign the employment documents

Your internal processes and custom configuration of SuccessFactors govern the first stage. This part of the document may differ in your actual internal process.

The signature portion of the process is governed by Adobe Sign, and is subject to less customization in the SuccessFactors environment.
