High-Level Specification

Functional Overview

Why the report / analytics is needed

The Applicant Diversity Tracker report is required to enable analysis of applicant diversity metrics across the recruitment pipeline.
It supports Talent Acquisition teams in ensuring there is no discrimination related to age, gender, disability, race, or other diversity criteria, and provides transparency into how different applicant populations progress through recruitment stages.

Business requirements addressed

The report addresses the following business requirements:

• Analyze diversity metrics for all applicants in the Recruiting module
• Track applicant progression across candidate pipeline stages
• Enable monitoring of fairness and non‑discrimination in hiring processes
• Support data‑driven diversity analysis in recruiting and talent acquisition activities

Business questions answered

The report enables the business to answer questions such as:

• What is the diversity profile of the applicant population?
• How do different diversity groups progress through the recruitment pipeline?
• Are there differences in pipeline progression by gender, age, race, disability, or other diversity attributes?
• At which stages of the recruitment process do diversity gaps appear?

Why it is important to the business

This report is critical to support fair, inclusive, and compliant recruitment practices.
Without a consolidated diversity tracker, Talent Acquisition teams lack visibility into applicant diversity across the full pipeline, increasing the risk of unmonitored bias and limiting the organization’s ability to take informed actions to promote diversity and inclusion.

Scope

Functional scope

• The report analyzes applicant diversity and pipeline progression.
• It provides both aggregated views (charts) and detailed applicant‑level data (tables).
• It supports analysis across all recruitment pipeline stages.
• It does not support changes to applicant data or recruitment transactions.

Application scope

• The report is built within SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting (RCM).
• It is delivered as a custom Story Report.

Data scope

• Data is sourced from the Recruiting (RCM) module.
• The report includes applicant‑level data such as:
