acquisition

Arago integrates Rhaegal and creates a SmartRecruiters center of excellence to accelerate migrations and modernize the recruiting experience

Arago announces the acquisition of Rhaegal, the only SmartRecruiters certified integrator in France. This strategic transaction marks the creation of a dedicated center of excellence to support companies in modernizing their recruitment processes and offering them a smooth migration to the next generation of Talent Acquisition solutions, now integrated into the SAP ecosystem. This agreement comes in a context marked by the acquisition of SmartRecruiters by SAP, the convergence of solutions, the reinforced integration with SAP SuccessFactors, the rise of AI and increased expectations in terms of candidate and manager experience.

A strategic alliance for next-generation recruitment

With the integration of Rhaegal, Arago - SAP Gold Partner and recognized expert in SAP SuccessFactors solutions - becomes the only player capable of offering completely secure SmartRecruiters migration projects, led by experienced consultants who are familiar with both SAP environments and the SmartRecruiters platform. The objective: to guarantee performance, compliance and governance, while accelerating the digital transformation of recruitment. Companies thus benefit from end-to-end support, from the core HR to the candidate experience.

Two complementary areas of expertise combined in a unified model

This alliance is based on the complementarity of two recognized know-hows:

  • Arago's robustness: mastery of SAP environments, solid governance, regulatory compliance and the ability to orchestrate complex deployments on an international scale.
  • Rhaegal's agility: the only SmartRecruiters certified integrator in France, 7 years of exclusive experience, more than 150 projects carried out in France and Europe, and a suite of innovative applications, designed to accelerate adoption and improve the productivity of recruitment teams.

Together, Arago and Rhaegal offer an industrialized, replicable and results-driven approach, based on proven methodologies and common governance, with visible benefits from the first weeks. Kristof Vasselon, CEO of Rhaegal: « The combination of our strengths changes the equation: Arago's rigorous governance and delivery on the SAP ecosystem combines with our SmartRecruiters agility to offer a unified, de-risked and results-oriented operating model. In concrete terms, this means secure migrations, industrialization of integrations, and end-to-end visibility from core HR to the recruiting experience. »

A concrete response to the new challenges of the HR market

In a context of long-term talent shortages and increased competition, companies must balance speed, efficiency and attractiveness. The pressure on time-to-hire is intensifying, while the digitalization and automation of HR processes are becoming essential to absorb increasing volumes and ensure the quality of recruitments.

The Arago - Rhaegal alliance responds directly to these challenges by enabling organizations to:

  • Significantly reduce time to hire with repetitive task automation and Winston AI.
  • Secure ATS migrations and integrations in complex environments,
  • Transform the candidate and manager experience with seamless journeys, conversational interfaces, and engaging career sites.

Jean-Christophe Péaudeau, CEO of Arago: « Companies can no longer afford long and fragmented recruitment processes. In a context where every day counts to attract the best talent, our alliance with Rhaegal provides a concrete answer: an integrated, fast and secure solution, which combines the power of SAP environments and the innovation of SmartRecruiters. We offer our clients the ability to transform their candidate and manager experience, while ensuring impeccable compliance and agility on a global scale. It is this combination that makes the difference today. »

Secure governance and an international vision

All projects are carried out within a secure framework that complies with regulatory requirements, ensuring uninterrupted data migration, rigorous governance and harmonization of processes on a global scale, while respecting local specificities. This capability is a major asset for multi-brand and multi-country organizations engaged in a global transformation of their recruitment practices.

With this alliance, Arago and Rhaegal are positioning themselves as benchmarks in next-generation recruitment, capable of combining operational performance, regulatory compliance and excellence in experience.
