Introducing SAP SuccessFactors Career and Talent Development
Until a few years ago, Career Development used to be a mix of wishful thinking, awkward performance reviews, and a sprinkle of “let’s circle back in six months.” But in today’s fast-moving world, employees want real growth, real opportunities, and real-time guidance. Enter SAP SuccessFactors Career and Talent Development, your AI-powered guided experience for career growth and internal mobility, that helps employees navigate their growth journey while giving organizations the talent agility they need.
With skills-driven insights, personalized career recommendations, and AI-driven insights, this solution is about fueling continuous growth and making talent planning feel less like guesswork and more like a strategic advantage. Whether it’s building the right skills for the future, providing a guided experience tailored to each individual, or empowering employees with easy-to-use tools.
"SAP has introduced SAP SuccessFactors Career and Talent Development (CTD). The solution combines the robust features of the SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development solution with the SAP SuccessFactors Opportunity Marketplace solution and is powered by skills data from the talent intelligence hub."
Career and Talent Development vs. Succession & Development
With Career and talent development, the license includes all of the functionality of Succession & Development plus, OMP, new functionality as of the 2H release, including Experiential opportunities, AI-assisted career insights, visual career exploration, and new role recommendation PLUS a guided experience with the growth portfolio as the starting point for the employee’s development journey.
Let's dive deeper into these key features available only with SAP SuccessFactors Career & Talent Development (CTD). Navigating career development is no longer a solo journey with CTD; it’s a guided, intuitive experience designed to empower employees with clarity, direction, and personalized opportunities. Here’s how the latest capabilities are shaping an engaging path forward:
1. Guided Experience for Career Development in Growth Portfolio
With an integrated user experience that brings together the Growth Portfolio, Opportunity Marketplace, and the latest Career Worksheet, employees now have one central place to reflect on their skills, interests, and aspirations. From understanding what’s expected in their current role to discovering new opportunities across the organization, everything is now within easy reach.
2. AI-Assisted career insights:
When employees explore a target role, AI-generated career insights help them understand how their profile aligns. These insights offer personalized guidance, helping employees identify development goals and focus areas that can accelerate their journey to the next step.
3. Opportunity marketplace (OMP):
Access to the OMP landing page, opportunity recommendations, opportunity search, manage and track opportunities and experiential opportunities (assignments) from within the Growth Portfolio page.
4. Smarter Role recommendations:
The new role recommendation engine introduces multiple categories of career suggestions, including:
Suggested Roles: Based on skills and interests, using logic defined by HR teams
AI-Based Roles (Career Explorer): Powered by machine learning to surface relevant paths
Trending Roles: Tied to current job openings
Career Path Roles: Predefined, structured paths to help employees see what’s next
This helps employees explore meaningful options that align with their aspirations and the company’s evolving needs.
5. Visual Career Exploration:
Visual Career Exploration brings career possibilities to life. With an interactive interface, employees can go beyond linear progressions and discover long-term career paths, adjacent roles, and unexpected opportunities, all mapped out visually to inspire action and curiosity.
