Over the last few years, the world has evolved to become almost entirely digital-first, and talent acquisition teams have experienced a growing need to accomplish most day-to-day tasks virtually. HR professionals are being tasked with finding ways to continue to adapt their processes to meet the needs of a hybrid workforce, while leveraging the tools available to them.

Interviews – and the activities that surround them – are a critical element to identifying and hiring the best talent, and with many roles and candidates moving remote, it has become imperative for interviews to be created and hosted virtually.

With the 2H 2023 release, SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting now offers an integration with Microsoft Teams allowing recruiters and interview organizers to easily include virtual meeting details within the interview confirmation email that goes out to candidates and interviewers.

Microsoft Teams meeting option in Interview Scheduling

Listed below are a few key takeaways of this integration: 

• If you are a customer who is already using the Interview Scheduling Outlook Integration solution, you don’t need to change anything in the system for the Microsoft Teams integration feature to work. You will see a new toggle on the Interview Scheduling page which allows you to host an interview using Microsoft Teams. However, if you do not wish to use the new feature, please disable the setting in the Manage Recruiting Settings page. For more information: Setting up an Interview with Microsoft Teams. 

• If you are a new customer who is interested in implementing the Microsoft Teams solution and/or the entire suite of Microsoft Integrations (Outlook and Teams, among many others), please refer to this document for details: Microsoft Teams Only , Microsoft Outlook and Teams Integration. 

• It is important to note that the Microsoft Teams Integration with Interview Scheduling feature is independent of the Interview Scheduling Outlook Integration. You do not need to set up or subscribe to the Outlook integration solution to use the Microsoft Teams capability. 

• For more details on the Microsoft Exchange Admin settings, please see Microsoft Graph Documentation 

Conclusion 

With the configurations and setup in place, you are now ready to use Recruiting’s Interview Scheduling functionality with Microsoft Teams to host interviews virtually.
