What you'll do

  • Systematically map the SAP market: who works where, in which module, with which experience profile
  • Directly approach passive SAP specialists via phone, network, referrals and LinkedIn
  • Track down talents who are not visible on job boards or even LinkedIn
  • Continuously maintain and reactivate the candidate pool
  • Build an own network in the Swiss SAP community, with referrals as a fixed part of the work
  • Conduct in-depth interviews assessing technical and personal fit, from module knowledge to career motivation
  • Give honest assessments of which position really fits instead of pushing candidates into the first available job
  • Personally accompany each candidate as their fixed contact from first conversation to first day
  • Provide individual interview preparation, salary benchmarks and honest feedback after each interview
  • Support candidates through debriefings, salary and contract negotiations
  • Handle counter-offers, doubts and critical moments in the decision process confidently
  • Follow up after the start so placements last and candidates become ambassadors
  • Work on projects in close coordination with the Key Account Managers
  • Where suitable, get involved in client acquisition and care, e.g. by joining briefings and client meetings

What we're looking for

  • At least 4 years of experience in SAP or IT personnel consulting, ideally focused on direct sourcing
  • A proven track record of winning and placing specialists who are not actively looking
  • Good understanding of the SAP world, knowing what distinguishes an FI/CO consultant from an EWM specialist
  • The right mix of charisma and persistence, on the phone and in person
  • A manner that opens people up, so candidates call back and keep listening even after a third no
  • Humour, drive and calm to strike the right tone even in hectic phases
  • Fluent German and good English

Benefits

  • A stable environment in a sought-after niche, with a filled pool and established relationships instead of a cold start
  • Experienced mentors with over 10 years of SAP headhunting experience supporting your success
  • A solid fixed salary plus a variable component clearly above that of the large personnel service providers
  • A small, well-established team with short decision paths and real team spirit
  • A super modern office in Zurich-Greencity with the latest IT
