The compliance and document generation module answered questions our legal team had been asking for months.

Chris L., Talent Acquisition Lead

Practical and quick. I configured our real onboarding process while working through the course.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the current Onboarding product or the legacy one?

The current product, which is built on Employee Central and MDF. We note the legacy differences because some clients are still migrating.

Do I need Employee Central knowledge?

It helps significantly, since Onboarding writes into EC. We cover the touchpoints, but EC plus Onboarding is the combination employers want.

Does this cover offboarding?

Yes, and crossboarding. Both use the same process engine and both are commonly in scope.

Which certification does this map to?

C_THR97, the SAP Certified Associate exam for SuccessFactors Onboarding. Confirm the current release before booking.

Can e-signature be used everywhere?

It depends on local legal requirements, which is exactly why we cover country specific compliance configuration rather than assuming one global process.

Is there hands-on access?

Yes, instance access for process configuration, data collection, tasks and reporting across all three projects.
