Winston AI is SmartRecruiters’ conversational hiring companion designed to improve candidate experience, automate workflows, and accelerate hiring processes across desktop, SMS, and WhatsApp.
What does “maintenance-only mode” mean for SAP Recruiting customers?

What integrations exist between SAP SuccessFactors and SmartRecruiters?
SmartRecruiters includes native SAP integrations including User Sync, Job Sync, Hire Sync, Config Sync, and Pre-Boarding Sync to support seamless recruiting and onboarding workflows.
