Despite a challenging economic period, the consultancy performed well, surpassing larger competitors, so much so that 85% of companies utilizing SAP use the consultancy’s products.
With more demand for the consultancy’s services, larger teams were needed to adapt to an increasing workload and therefore needed specialist SAP talent.
The consultancy sought specialists with expertise in various SAP modules, including Integrations, Analytics, SD, FICO, and MM. Additionally, candidates were required to possess a minimum B2 German language proficiency and a minimum of 18 months of relevant experience.
Recognising the shallow talent pool for niche skills, Uniting Enterprise utilized its extensive database and internal networks and employed market mapping to narrow down the search to local regions.
Upon qualifying prospective candidates, they would be sent to the client for review and invited to interview.
The dynamics of a candidate-driven market made capturing the attention of passive professionals a challenge. Uniting Enterprise established the client’s employer value propositions and would use these to communicate to candidates how attractive working at the client would be. This included:
Payment for courses to enhance the skill set of potential candidates, demonstrating a commitment to continuous learning.
Emphasized the importance of cultural fit and advocated the philosophy that skills can be taught, but attitude cannot.
Offers were competitive, beating industry standards.
Where senior professionals were attracted to the role but waiting for bonuses to be paid, Uniting Enterprise established sign-on bonus structures to ensure they would not lose pay and would be welcomed in to a new role.
Over a three-month period, the hiring campaign was an absolute success. Uniting Enterprise successfully placed three candidates with the consultancy, each specializing in a specific SAP module:
Focused on streamlining SAP integration processes.
Contributing to the enhancement of analytical capabilities within the consultancy.
Bringing expertise in SAP Finance and Controlling module.
