Introduction
When an organization uses both SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) and SmartRecruiters (SR) as its talent acquisition platform, a natural expectation is that the rich organizational data in EC — including positional hierarchy and matrix reporting relationships — should automatically flow into recruitment artifacts. One of the most practical use cases is populating the Hiring Team in SmartRecruiters based on the Position Matrix Relationships defined in SuccessFactors.
Unfortunately, as of today, this is a known product gap. The standard integration between SuccessFactors and SmartRecruiters does not include a mapping to carry matrix relationships from a Position into the SmartRecruiters Hiring Team. SAP has acknowledged this gap and it is currently on the product roadmap — but customers who need this capability today require a custom workaround.
In this blog, I walk through a proven custom solution that bridges this gap using EC OData APIs, the SmartRecruiters REST API, and an SR Webhook (job.created event) to automatically populate the Hiring Team in SmartRecruiters from Position Matrix Relationships defined in Employee Central.
