Position: SAP Financials Consultant
Location: Germany
Salary: €110,000
Assignment timescale: 15 days
Challenge:
A niche Asian ERP powerhouse faced a unique challenge when expanding operations beyond Asia. Their strategic model of leveraging nearshore resources required careful navigation to ensure successful delivery in new markets. For such rollouts, resource allocation typically relied on interim consultants, which often proved effective but did not offer long-term continuity or embedded expertise.
Solution:
Consulting Point had been working with and nurturing a relationship with an exceptional candidate for over four years and when her situation changed, she was quick to reach back out to her contact. At this critical juncture in her career, with her family responsibilities evolving and the opportunity for a fresh start emerging, the candidate expressed a desire to take on a new challenge. Recognising the close cultural and functional synergy between the client and candidate, Consulting Point were keen to get the two talking to capitalise on the alignment. The candidate was not only a standout in SAP Financials consulting, but also brought the added value of being tri-lingual in English, Chinese, and German - a rare combination that aligned perfectly with global business needs.
Result:
The candidate underwent a rigorous selection process, interviewing with the SAP Group Financials Subject Matter Expert (SME), the Vice President of Group, and the Managing Director for Europe. All stakeholders reached the same unanimous conclusion: the candidate demonstrated an exceptional advisory approach and was not only a technical fit but also a perfect cultural match. Guided by Consulting Point’s recommendations, the client also sought advice on offering a competitive compensation package that reflected the candidate’s unique skill set and long-term value. It was further agreed that hiring the candidate in a permanent capacity would provide the stability and expertise required for upcoming critical projects. The offer was quickly accepted by the candidate and resulted in a mutually beneficial outcome, the client gained a consultant who could drive success in their growing operations and the candidate found a fulfilling opportunity within a supporting environment.
