SAP acquires SmartRecruiters to cement cloud HR edge
- SAP has acquired SmartRecruiters to strengthen its cloud-based HR portfolio.
- The acquisition provides SAP access to a leading high-volume hiring platform in the U.S.
- SmartRecruiters specializes in automating the recruiting process for large enterprises.
The acquisition of SmartRecruiters by SAP is a strategic move that not only enhances its product offerings but also positions the company favorably in a rapidly evolving market. This deal could lead to significant competitive advantages, especially in attracting and retaining talent in the cloud-based HR space. However, the challenge will be to integrate SmartRecruiters' agile culture with SAP's more traditional enterprise approach without alienating existing customers.
