    <description>Welcome to the PayrollBADIes podcast! We're a ragtag crew of SAP and payroll enthusiasts who love to talk shop and talk $h** — whether it's the latest in SAP (especially payroll), the broader HR/Payroll Tech market, or ranting about things that drive us up the wall. Tune in for insights, rants, and the payroll banter you never knew you needed. It's all SAP, all payroll, all fun. P.S. This podcast is unfiltered so excuse the NSFW language at times with a heavy dose of SAP Bias—because obviously SAP Payroll is the best payroll in the world. Don’t agree? GTFOI?!

      <title>Behind the Scenes on Why SAP Acquired SmartRecruiters, Autonomous Payroll, AI Agents, &amp; More</title>
      <description>In this episode we are joined by Shahzad Naseem from the SAP SuccessFactors Product Strategy team to discuss the strategic reasoning behind the SmartRecruiters acquisition, the roadmap for Autonomous Payroll., &amp; more!

How they evaluated every vendor and what set SmartRecruiters apart, focusing on the strength of their Applicant Tracking System (ATS) vs. "hollow" AI chatbots. Shazad reveals the 2026 vision for Employee Central Payroll (ECP), including the introduction of Autonomous Payroll Agents for compliance, reconciliation, and alerts that allow admins to "go home at 5:00 PM". 



We also clarify the future of SuccessFactors Recruiting vs. SmartRecruiters and how native onboarding fits into the new ecosystem.

      <title>PayrollBADIes with B-RAVE (Bonnie Tinder, Raven Intel): HR &amp; Payroll Better Together, Software Selection, AI Adoption &amp; More</title>
      <description>Join this episode to hear from Bonnie Tinder, Founder &amp; CEO of Raven Intelligence, for a no-BS look at what truly drives HR tech implementation success. Bonnie explains why team dynamics and partner quality beat software features, how to use verified customer reviews to pick the right implementation partner, and what really happens when HR and Payroll live on different vendors. We dig into AI in HR (hype vs. outcomes), recent market moves and acquisitions, and where the ecosystem is headed next. Her bottom line: push for unified systems where it counts, and insist on clear accountability across every vendor on the field—because, as Bonnie puts it, running Core HR without Payroll is like running a marathon with one shoe.

Highlights

Team  is greater then tool: the human factors that make or break projects
How to leverage customer reviews to choose the right SI
Integrations in the real world: HR ↔ Payroll, time, tax, and funding
AI adoption in HR: what’s working now vs. slideware
What market consolidation means for buyers in 2025+

Subscribe for more conversations with builders, buyers, and doers in HR &amp; Payroll.</description>

      <title>Strategies to deploy SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central</title>
      <description>With SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) crossing over 6,000 customers globally, join Imran Sajid and Nick MacIlvaine⁠ 
as they discuss how customers have deployed EC using a phased approach. Some customers don't want to engage in a big-bang, rip and replace global project. Instead, EC customers sometimes choose to start smaller, by focusing on particular countries or business units. Hear us talk about real customer projects where they start small and focus on solving the most urgent challenges.

Nick has over 25 years of experience currently serving as the Global VP Core HR &amp; Onboarding CoE. In this role he has a focus on go-to-market strategy, field sales enablement and supporting sales cycles. He's been with SAP SuccessFactors for over 16 years in a variety of capacities with prior industry experience with Peoplesoft and Oracle. Nick has experience as an instructor teaching people how to implement HR software who has trained over a thousand project team members across industries with a specialization in working with large, global organizations.
