Etihad deploys SAP\\\'s solution for future growth

As part of a company-wide business transformation programme, Etihad Airways, Abu Dhabi based international airlines, is deploying SAP's state-of-the-art, cloud-based solutions across its human resources, finance and procurement and supply management functions, says a press statement in Dhaka.

The technology transformation will enable Etihad Airways to redesign its vital back-office processes entirely, standardise across its subsidiaries and partner airline Air Seychelles, and scale up to support its continued growth.

In the first phase of implementation, the airline has modernised and simplified the recruitment process by introducing new capabilities through SAP's Success Factors.

A new Etihad Airways careers website, with easy-to-use digital functionalities, has been launched to enrich the candidate recruitment experience.

Latest features include a fresh layout, job alerts, and integration with the world's largest professional network, LinkedIn.

It also offers real-time visibility on the status of job applications for candidates, hiring managers and recruiters.

The website has gained a lot of interest and within a week of its launch received 160,000 visits and 6,000 job applications. In addition, 14,000 candidates have signed up as Talent Community Members - a new capability that further strengthens Etihad Airways' global position to recruit the best aviation talent.
