Integration With mySAP HR Paves Way for Faster Implementation Time and Lower Integration Costs

Hire.com today announced that HireEnterprise has been integration-certified by SAP with the mySAPâ„¢ Human Resources (mySAP HR) solution, via its Hire.com Business Connector version 1.0. By integrating the employee management tools of mySAP HR with HireEnterprise's talent management offering, organizations can benefit from a unified solution for managing their recruitment processes, speeding time to deployment and lowering total cost of ownership.
Hire.com's ability to integrate seamlessly with mySAP HR allows customers to collect organizational and employee data in a single location and leverage this information throughout the recruiting processes. HireEnterprise's open platform enables organizations to take advantage of their existing investments in mySAP HR, and eases the challenge of recruiting and deploying top-quality talent.
Using mySAP HR with HireEnterprise places a powerful combination at the fingertips of HR professionals, who are tasked with managing a flood of recruiting information, including résumés, offer letters and schedules. HireEnterprise's open architecture allows for seamless integration with mySAP HR and enables customers to realize significant benefits of advanced recruiting, sourcing and deployment.
"SAP's certification of HireEnterprise via Hire.com Business Connector 1.0 validates our open platform as truly an enterprise-fit talent management solution for today's market," said Kevin Bethke, CEO of Hire.com. "We are pleased to provide our customers with seamless integration between HireEnterprise and mySAP HR, ultimately enabling them to focus their attention on finding top-quality talent, rather than moving data across multiple systems."
Hire.com has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to standards and was recently recognized as one of the first vendors to receive HR-XML certification from the HR-XML Consortium. HireEnterprise leverages an open environment that enables customers to extend their technology investments, increase ease of use, and reduce the cost of integrating HR applications with ERP tools and other custom systems.
