cbs, an innovative IT services and consulting firm specialising in HR process transformation, has unveiled a comprehensive portfolio of add-on applications designed to enhance SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting functionality. The new solutions focus on three key areas: candidate experience, recruiting efficiency, and hiring manager productivity.
Streamlining Candidate Applications
The centrepiece of cbs’s offering is Quick Apply, a tool that removes traditional barriers to job applications. Unlike the standard SAP SuccessFactors system, which requires candidate registration and password creation, Quick Apply allows job seekers to submit applications in seconds without needing to register first.
The application also resolves mobile responsiveness issues found in the standard system, delivering a sleek and fully responsive user interface on all mobile devices. Additional features include custom field visibility controls and support for job-specific screening questions.

Expanding Reach Through Mobile Channels
Recognising the evolving landscape of candidate communication preferences, cbs has partnered with PitchYou to develop the WhatsApp Application, a mobile recruiting tool that directly integrates with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. This innovation allows easy WhatsApp interactions through automated chat features, supporting automatic translation in over 25 languages.
The WhatsApp solution specifically targets retail and blue-collar workers who may find traditional application processes difficult. The system includes duplicate checks based on email addresses and automatically sends application-relevant information to SAP SuccessFactors, ensuring a smooth process without requiring recruiters to learn new platforms.
Boosting Recruiter Productivity
cbs has also launched the Recruiting Efficiency Bundle, which features three complementary tools designed to streamline recruiter workflows.
- RemindMe App automates notifications for hiring managers, offering daily summaries of applications needing feedback or action, with direct links to job requisitions and applications in SAP SuccessFactors.
- SinglePDF consolidates all relevant applicant information and attachments into one PDF document, supporting all common file formats and updating automatically when information changes.
- Recruiting Teams Chat allows quick communication between recruiters and stakeholders through Microsoft Teams, featuring automatic participant synchronisation and robust data security.
Market Recognition and Availability
cbs holds SAP Expert status, the highest SAP competence award, reflecting years of experience and customer recognition. The company specialises in the full range of SAP solutions, including SAP SuccessFactors HCM, SAP HCM for S/4HANA, SAP ERP Human Capital Management, SAP Concur, and SAP Business Technology Platform.
The applications can be accessed via the SAP Store, with pricing available upon request. CBS provides comprehensive implementation support and ongoing operational assistance to ensure smooth integration with existing SAP SuccessFactors environments.
These solutions demonstrate ccbs’s commitment to transforming HR into a key driver within organisations by addressing real-world recruiting challenges through innovative technology integration.
What This Means for SAPinsiders
Streamlined recruiting workflows accelerate time-to-hire across industries. According to cbs, organisations implementing Quick Apply and Mobile Hire report measurable reductions in recruiting bottlenecks, enabling faster candidate evaluations and approvals. For SAP professionals, this translates into fewer manual interventions, shorter hiring cycles, and improved candidate quality. Hiring managers gain mobile access, which removes delays and helps organisations secure candidates before their competitors.
Mobile-first recruiting expands access to global and frontline talent pools. The WhatsApp Application, with built-in translation across 25+ languages, directly engages candidates who are often excluded by traditional systems. For executives in retail, manufacturing, and logistics, this functionality broadens access to essential worker segments. The direct integration with SAP SuccessFactors also ensures scalability and compliance, minimising the risks associated with third-party recruiting apps.
Automation reduces the workload of recruiters and improves collaboration across business units. The Recruiting Efficiency Bundle simplifies repetitive tasks and automates communication flows. This enhances accountability in hiring processes and reduces the risk of candidate drop-offs. For SAP professionals, the result is greater alignment between HR and IT strategy, freeing time to focus on higher-value initiatives.
