SAP Certified - SmartRecruiters for SAP SuccessFactors
Independent, reasoning-first practice for the SAP® C_THR104 SmartRecruiters for SAP SuccessFactors certification, built for the 2026 Scenario-Based Assessment format.
Who it's for: Recruiting and HR consultants — and SAP SuccessFactors professionals moving into a talent-acquisition role — who want a recognized associate credential proving they can configure and administer SmartRecruiters for SAP SuccessFactors as a mentored member of an implementation project team.
The SAP® C_THR104 certification confirms that you hold the foundational knowledge needed to configure and administer SmartRecruiters as it works alongside SAP SuccessFactors. It is positioned as an entry-level credential for the consultant role, assuming you will apply what you know on a project while guided by a more experienced colleague rather than working entirely on your own. The scope tracks the SmartRecruiters recruiting lifecycle — navigating the system, setting up company administration, users and roles, configuring jobs and advertising, shaping the candidate and interview experience, running the hiring and offer processes, handling communications, the Winston assistants, candidate relationship management, and global compliance — all layered on a working understanding of the underlying SAP SuccessFactors platform. Because it is delivered as a Scenario-Based Assessment, the exam asks you to reason through a realistic recruiting situation rather than answer isolated recall questions.
What the exam covers
The blueprint areas to focus your preparation on.
SAP SuccessFactors Platform Foundations
Understanding the platform layer SmartRecruiters sits on — navigating provisioning and the Admin Center, managing role-based permissions and proxy access, running core administrator tasks, configuring the user experience and People Profile, and defining Metadata Framework (MDF) objects with business rules.
SmartRecruiters System Navigation & Recruiting Overview
Working within the SmartRecruiters system — navigating the dashboard, collaborating with hiring teams, managing jobs, talent pools and candidate communications, creating and posting jobs, and understanding the candidate experience and application handling end to end.
Company Administration, Users & Roles
Configuring company profile and security settings, enabling multi-factor authentication and default notifications, integrating apps and WebSSO, and setting up default and custom system roles, access groups, delegated administrators, user accounts, and hiring-team roles for recruiting.
Job Configuration, Advertising & Sourcing
Building job templates, fields and dependencies, managing locations, salary transparency and bulk field updates, setting up job approvals, and running advertising and sourcing — agency partnerships and portals, employee referrals, career-site brands and pages, and job widgets and alerts.
Candidate Experience & Interview Configuration
Configuring the application experience and fields, standard, custom, job-specific, branching and rejection screening questions, applicant data transfer, and custom forms — plus interview types, templates, scheduling and self-scheduling, scorecards, and calendar integration.
Hiring, Offers & Communications
Managing hiring processes and workflows, rejection processes, offer templates, clauses, DocuSign integration and offer approvals, and the communications layer — email and automated notifications, automated replies, email domains, and SMS messaging with Messaging templates.
Winston Assistants, CRM & Global Compliance
Working with the Winston Chatbot, Match and Companion assistants, running candidate relationship management — communities, prospects, email campaigns, lead-capture forms and reporting — and implementing global compliance through GDPR, consent-template and related configuration.

How to prepare
- 1Learn the SmartRecruiters recruiting lifecycle as one connected flow — job setup, candidate experience, interviews, hiring, and offers — so you can trace how a configuration choice made early shapes what happens several steps later.
- 2Study the SAP SuccessFactors platform foundations alongside SmartRecruiters, since role-based permissions, the Metadata Framework, and business rules underpin how the recruiting configuration behaves and are assumed knowledge going into the exam.
- 3Drill job configuration and screening logic together: job fields, dependencies, and application screening questions interact to shape the candidate experience, and they are frequently examined as a combined scenario rather than separate topics.
- 4Practise the hiring and offer workflows hands-on — hiring processes, rejection steps, offer templates, clauses, and approvals each behave differently, and understanding how they chain prevents avoidable errors under scenario conditions.
- 5Work through candidate relationship management and global compliance scenarios end to end, since communities, campaigns, and consent and GDPR settings carry configuration detail that is easy to overlook when studying by reading alone.
