Top Candidate Insights of 2022 As we approach the end of 2022, we would like to reflect on the candidate-focused content we have published this past year. Below, we have highlighted some of our most relevant candidate insights from 2022. #1: Tips for Finding a New Job in 2023 Finding a new job can be a stressful process, and this can be exacerbated in the tech industry with its robust competition. However, in this period of unpredictability, many opportunities are still present in the tech labor market. There are several tips and tricks one can follow to make the search for a job much easier, which you can read more about in this piece. #2: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Leaving Your Current Role As individuals’ preferences and career goals change with the popularization of remote working and post-pandemic attitudes, it is important to consider the good, the bad, and the ugly when thinking about leaving your current role. In this piece, we explore what you should know when considering a change in roles or a career change entirely. #3: Words to Avoid on Your Résumé When applying for an open position, your résumé is one of the first things hiring managers look at during the hiring process. However, you do not have long to make a lasting first impression, meaning you need to be mindful and purposeful in the content you choose to include. While there are several factors that you should include in your résumé, we have outlined some words to avoid on your résumé in this piece. #4: A Consultant’s Guide to LinkedIn Recommendations In today’s world, everything is digital – from job applications to restaurant menus, and now, even recommendations for future employment. The power of a reference or recommendation has always been proven to be a driving force in hiring, and many of us are familiar with gaining a written reference to share. In this piece, we share how to best go about obtaining a LinkedIn recommendation for your digital profile. #5: Questions to Ask During Your Tech Interview Going into an interview for a prestigious tech company can be nerve-racking. Questions will be specific, and precise technical knowledge is required for these jobs. While many worry about the content of the interview and what may be asked, asking the interviewer valuable questions in return is just as important. It is beneficial to prepare good follow-up questions to ask during your tech interview, which we have outlined in this piece. #6: How to Evaluate if a Company Is the Right Fit for You As a job candidate, there is nothing more important than finding an organization that aligns with your personal and professional goals. Researching company culture, understanding the organization’s values, and asking the right questions are all key factors in evaluating if a company is the right fit for you. We have provided some key tips to keep in mind when evaluating a prospective job opportunity in this piece.

For businesses seeking to grow their workforce quickly or supplement permanent personnel, contract workers can fill in the gaps. Especially in the IT field, contractors often fill key positions, where experts are urgently needed now. Here we'll look at some of the trends and tendencies favoring contract workers - and how to use these trends to better fill out your workforce as you plan for 2018. Millennial Trends Means More Aspiring IT Contractors To start, two key trends among the millennial generation are driving the availability of IT contractors: independence and tech savvy. Trends show that millennials tend to value work where they can set their own hours, work from home, and pursue personal career growth. Where millennials do favor steady jobs as well, they are far more comfortable with shifting jobs and even careers. As such, contracting presents an attractive possibility to many millennial workers. When it comes to switching jobs, more millennials turn to IT than any other job sector. As such, the market for talented IT workers is flooded with those either in IT looking for new positions or looking to crack the market and make a career change. Demand for IT Also Means More Available Positions At the same time that more workers than ever before are seeking flexible IT jobs, the demand for IT workers is also on the rise. Startups and other small businesses need talented IT staff in order to help set up their business and to stay competitive. Large companies and government offices often bring in contracted staff to deal with upgrades, security, and other limited-term projects. As such, talented IT contractors generally have more work available than they can handle. In the current IT landscape, things are constantly changing, always moving. Contractors - especially contractors knowledgeable in specialized areas - continue to be in high demand. How to Attract the Right IT Contract Workers The modern IT landscape looks like a vast and complex machine with many moving parts working together. Experts move to and fro to fill needed roles. Businesses send out requests for assistance and wait for available resources. The key to finding the right workers for a job is to understand how this machine functions and how to get the parts you need when you need them.
  1. Understand how to clearly state your needs. Have tech-savvy business partners on hand, able to translate needs into jargon and relevant expertise. IT contractors are often looking for key words, such as coding languages, database names, and server types together with skill levels and areas of experience. It really helps to understand these technical details, because recruiting the right person for the job in a cluttered advertising market is a marketing effort in and of itself.
  2. Put together the right benefits package for the job. Some jobs may lead to permanent positions. Others positions may be short-term jobs where you want someone willing to come in, do the work, and go. Even if you're not sure where this position is headed, try to tailor benefits - if any - toward individuals who will fill the role as you see it developing.
  3. Check qualifications against needs. Make sure that you have tech-savvy interviewers who can check backgrounds to make sure potential hires have the skills needed to get the job done. Check references, confirm backgrounds, or interview potential hires to confirm knowledge of relevant skills and professional ability. Consider incorporating code challenges, design thinking exercises, or other activities into your traditional screens to make the process interesting and challenging.
Remember, the IT landscape is a busy one. More than ever, talented individuals are looking for IT jobs, and more than ever, businesses need people to perform necessary tasks. Make the most of this opportunity by attracting and screening the right candidates. Knowing how to survey the field will help you to put skill sets in their proper categories and make sound choices as a result.

When you sit back and reflect, the connections between where we live, work, and play are blending together, almost to the point of becoming too difficult to separate. In this post, we want to explain to recruiters and job seekers alike how jobs tie us to the community and vice versa. The Starbucks Anecdote Just about anywhere you go, it's hard to escape references to big brands like Starbucks. While we apologize in advance, we must absolutely consider this local hub belonging to a global brand as an example of where people live, work, and play. Go to Starbucks and sit there for several hours of people-watching. You'll see the following insights at work. People Can Work From Anywhere If we're being honest, our blog writer sits in Starbucks for the sake of research. You see the business owners, the public employees, the private sector workers, the unemployed, the elderly, the youngsters, the college students, and the freelancers all moving through this cafe. You see tons of people passing through the drive-through. Together, Starbucks people are a metaphor for what people crave. We want to go to where the baristas remember our face and our favorite drink. We want to turn around and recognize familiar faces (people from the gym, people from work, and people from church). Starbucks also helps us to wake up when we have to be at an early work meeting and to help us stay awake on a long drive home from a rock concert. With enough caffeine, we can get through anything, or we tell ourselves that to justify the coffee purchase. People Form Business Contacts Anywhere The coffee shop culture also illustrates how people form important business and personal contacts everywhere and then stay connected on social media. This leads to a blurring of lines that people have in social relationships. For example, you have a co-worker as a Facebook friend if you trust her, and you feel that you should wish her a happy birthday even on the weekend. If she invites you to the party, you will probably go, but it depends on how many other friends will be there. In the past, people used to maintain greater separation between their work lives and their home lives, but now their co-workers are integrated into most aspects of their lives. People Spend Time With Like-Minded People and Then Form New Interests For employers, this is a big one! When coffee lovers go to Starbucks, they're surrounded by other coffee lovers. While their shared interests may be the impetus that brings them in, they begin to form other kinds of social relationships. For example, you see a gym friend, Judy, at Starbucks and she introduces you to her friend Tom with an adorable Pug. You talk about the irritable stomach of your chihuahua. It just so happens that Tom is a dog groomer. He gives you his card. Meanwhile, Judy says that her mother just lost her job, and you encourage Judy's mother to apply for the customer service opening at your company. When you speak to people in social situations, you learn about job opportunities that directly or indirectly relate to your skills, but you can also share opportunities with those in your network. If you want to follow up on a job lead, you can get a person's Facebook or LinkedIn information and get in contact again soon. The Takeaway What we love about live, work, and play concepts is that job seekers will choose a community where they can do all three. If they associate their employer's culture with strong ties to their community, they will be likely to stay for a longer tenure. If employees have a hard time finding a sense of belonging in the community where they live, then they will need to move somewhere else to find it. In the end, employers lose when they cannot keep employees tied to the workplace culture or to local opportunities to play. Some employers address this by offering good employees the opportunity to move away and telecommute, but they will eventually separate after they find stronger social connections in their new community.
Much has been made recently over Deloitte's decision to move their diversity efforts to a colorblind approach. What colorblind diversity efforts mean in practice is a move away from specific group and demographic initiatives towards a general inclusion effort. In the case of Deloitte, they decided to do away with their Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) because they felt that these groups alienated people. They also realize that the growing millennial workforce doesn't want to be identified by demographic categories. However, colorblind diversity policies are not the answer to the complicated issue of diversity in the workplace. The state of diversity in the workplace is still far from ideal. In fact, researchers have found that in a lot of cases diversity and inclusion efforts do not actually help women or minorities in any real or tangible way, and it makes a lot of men feel like they are being treated unfairly and alienated. This does not help diversity and inclusion efforts. The only way that diversity can succeed is if everybody is on board with it and everybody is included. Clearly, many current diversity programs are failing everybody. Interestingly enough, pro-diversity messages put forth by businesses do little to actually convince minorities that they will be treated more fairly. In a recent study, minority participants said they view companies with pro-diversity messages and initiatives as no less-likely to discriminate against them, no more inclusive, and ultimately no better to work for than a company that doesn't say a single thing about diversity or have a clear pro-diversity program. The fact that everyone, men, minorities, and women, all see diversity programs as a non-factor or even an outright negative goes to show how difficult it is to establish true diversity and how poor most businesses efforts at diversity really are. So, what can we do to be more inclusive and to be sure that we are striving towards diversity? How can we craft pro-diversity messages without turning people away? Craft Your Message. We must appreciate the effect that pro-diversity messages will have on people. For one, you need to make sure you are crafting messages that emphasize inclusion and foster feelings of confidence in women and minorities. At this moment, a lot of pro-diversity programs and messages do more to protect businesses from litigation than they do to actually promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace. If you want your diversity efforts to be successful, you need to get everyone involved. Be Accountable. Importantly, any diversity program needs to include accountability. If you want to work towards inclusion and diversity your diversity programs need to do more than just talk the talk. People need to be held accountable for their actions and words. Value Differences. Our differences all deserve their own space. We need to celebrate our differences rather than draw lines in the sand. Understanding and conversation are very important to diversity efforts and should not be shied away from. Everyone needs to be a part of diversity efforts and conversations if they are ever going to be successful.

SAP Data Analytics and Insights Trends

Businesses constantly use data to gain efficiencies and deliver new customer and trading partner insights. Our sister company, Clarkston Consulting, published an Analytics Trends Report to help you identify opportunities for employing analytics in your business. Below is a quick summary of the themes explored in the report. Visit our Book A Project page to get more information for your SAP data analytics and insights project needs.  

Key data analytics themes are emerging in 2020:

 

Explainability and Auditability of Data Analytics Models:

Thorough documentation needs to accompany greater adoption of automated decisions. As such, analytics teams should be prepared to explain how decisions were made. This comes down to two factors: explainability and documentation. Explainability refers to the ability to trace through an algorithm to determine exactly where a prediction came from.  For example, certain algorithms act as “black boxes” and it can be nearly impossible to interpret how a decision was made. As for documentation, those in regulated industries will need a higher level of documented validation. However, it is best practice in any industry to have processes in place to conduct a technical review on models before they go live and to document workflows and predictions for reference.  

Data Analytics COE Influence: 

Establishing a SAP data analytics and insights COE is critical. Once a COE is established and generating value, the next step is getting the right tools in the hands of the right people. This sometimes means setting up the processes or front-end user interfaces so that certain roles don't need to know the underlying tool. Educational sessions will also be critical and most effective when delivering contextual use cases. Analytics roll-out will thrive if everyone can see the benefit to their own day-to-day. Focus on delivering value and the rest will come.  

Data Analytics Workflow Automation:

Automation, once adopted, quickly becomes indispensable. Data engineering teams will be responsible for automating data pipelines to get data from the source, integrated across systems, and ready for processing by analysts. Tools and components found in commonly used platforms can help: Similarly, on the modeling side, you can select a handful of algorithms to test on the data to quickly prototype. These automation tools save time and allow your data scientists to focus on value-add activities. Bull City Talent connects you with analytics experts to assess needs, implement solutions, or provide some of the heavy lifting in realizing your analytics goals. Consultants in our Talent Communities offer insights and solutions from relevant, referenceable experience in technology and business projects. Contact us for more information and to explore how our resources can become an extension of your IT and analytics departments.

SAP Enterprise Transformation with Organizational Change Management

  Companies implement Organizational Change Management for many reasons: expansion, restructuring, merger & acquisition, regulatory compliance, SAP and ERP transformation – anything that requires an organization to adopt new processes and mindsets. To effectively implement OCM, companies need to understand how they are currently managing change, what are their challenges and opportunities, and how are they planning on integrating change management and training. Bull City Talent can provide the right resource to help you strategize on how to best implement Organizational Change.

You don’t have to look far to read an article or see an advertisement touting the benefits of an SAP implementation or deployment of S/4 HANA, SAP RPA, SAP Leonardo, or another buzzworthy SAP solution. But when is the last time you read an article highlighting the importance of SAP continuous improvement through Business Process Optimization (BPO)? Our friends at ASUG hosted a webinar on BPO and this article will familiarize you with the nomenclature of BPO and explain why it is such an important foundational pillar in any SAP continuous improvement strategy.  

What is SAP business process optimization (BPO)?

SAP BPO is the art of maximizing the value of technology investments by streamlining workflows and business processes to improve workforce efficiency and organizational agility. So great, now you know what BPO is, but you are probably asking: what does BPO look like in a real-world environment and how do I achieve this? Great question! BPO can be broken down into three fundamental pillars: sustainment, optimization, and strategy. Each of these categories will be discussed in the following paragraphs.  

Sustainment

At a macro level, there isn’t a single organizational task more important than sustainment (i.e. keeping the lights on). Sustainment shapes the very framework for the ways in which business is conducted and serves as the engine that propels revenue generation – the primary factor in all other organizational initiatives. From an SAP perspective, it is important to note that sustainment is a multi-pronged approach that requires careful consideration surrounding a number of different topics. As it relates to sustainment, here are some things to think about:  

Optimization

While predicated on the adoption of an appropriate mechanism for sustainment, optimization is an equally important counterpart in the overarching approach to SAP continuous improvement. The optimization component focuses primarily on the identification of unnecessary complexities and process inefficiencies to develop solutions that more appropriately address the needs of the business, all within the confines of technological capabilities. As you well know, SAP provides solutions with a great deal of out-of-the-box value, but that most of the time require additional customization to align with legacy business processes. As such, here are some things to think about as it relates to optimization:  

Strategy

At its core, the objective of BPO is to enable the realization of business strategy through agility. At times, it may seem that BPO and agility are conflicting ideologies. However, as processes are evaluated, optimized, and redeployed, it becomes evident that the opposite holds true. Well thought out and properly architected BPO initiatives result in increased efficiency, higher productivity, and drastically improve the time it takes to get from strategy inception to realization. All the while, increasing opportunities for organizational growth and acting as a catalyst of stabilization during times of market turbulence.  

4 key ingredients of successful SAP Continuous Improvement BPO initiatives

People - The importance of the SAP super-user network can’t be understated. Good talent is hard to find, so when you do find it, make sure you’re keeping it. Furthermore, make sure that there is a channel for knowledge transfer throughout the organization. The goal should be to continually grow the network through the transfer of knowledge. (Hint: finding great talent is our specialty at Bull City Talent!) Process - Process is equally important in this equation, as process-discipline improves cross-functional business alignment and in turn, leads to faster decision making and organizational agility. SAP continuous improvement through BPO encompasses more than IT. For the overarching initiative to be successful, it is important to understand that BPO is truly a partnership between IT and the business. To be successful, all parties must have a seat at the table. Data – How many times have you heard “you’re only as good as your data?”. Well, it’s true. Accurate data is imperative to the success of your SAP continuous improvement journey. Data is the primary driver that navigates discussion and initiates the analysis and alteration of business processes to bring them into closer alignment with business strategy. By that same token, business strategy realization can then be linked back to the accuracy of empirical data to support BPO. Technology – In terms of technology, it’s important to understand the out-of-the-box functionality of your SAP environment and the pre-configured processes that govern this functionality. While some amount of customization is inevitable, the closer in alignment you can bring business processes to pre-configured SAP processes will help to minimize technological bottlenecks and time spent dealing with break/fixes. Ultimately, ensuring that you are strong in the people and process categories will help to minimize technological challenges.  

Why SAP Continuous Improvement BPO?

Continuous Improvement – BPO provides a framework and support system for SAP continuous improvement and allows maximum value to be drawn from business processes. Performance – Process-discipline and metrics-centered business actions, both by-products of BPO, promote organizational performance, as well as provide additional capacity for external integration and internal business alignment. Competitive Advantage - As process becomes more aligned with business strategy, the cycle of executing that strategy is shortened, thus providing better products, service, and support to the customer. All of which create a quantifiable competitive advantage. Regardless of where you are in your SAP continuous improvement journey, we want you to know that Bull City Talent Group is here to help. Whether through leveraging our network of technical and functional SAP consultants, or through simply having a human conversation, we welcome the opportunity to get to know you better.

With bankruptcies looming, retail is among the industries dominating the headlines in today's uncertain environment. COVID-19 is, temporarily, at least, threatening all traditional models, forcing consumers to experience retail almost entirely from their homes. Even before the pandemic, other trends were transforming the way retailers go to market. The influence of millennials and Gen-Z shoppers, demand for  seamless integration between in-store, online, and mobile experiences, and intelligent use of mass amounts of data all drive disruption and innovation. To explore new retail trends, we turn to our sister company, Clarkston Consulting, and their recent industry insight, summarized below. Bull City Talent can provide the right resource to help you implement and deploy solutions to keep up with today’s retail trends.  Visit our Book A Project page to learn more for your specific change needs, SAP or otherwise.  

NEW RETAIL TRENDS DRIVE INNOVATION IN CONVENIENCE

Today’s consumers demand convenience. During the 2019 Holiday season, services like buy online/pick up in store (BOPIS) were big hits with shoppers, especially for those merchants offering same-day service. These same services are going to be vital for retailers who seek to bounce back quickly from the impacts of COVID-19. Unfortunately, we are uncertain when things will return to normal, and when we do, will shoppers be hesitant to return to the stores? Retailers who offer services like BOPIS will be ahead of their competition. Frictionless return or exchange processes will be vital for consumers who avoid non-essential trips to shipping locations for returns. Simple “drop and go” return policies with major national carriers like UPS or FedEx are being offered to entice shoppers to buy. While these options offer merchants much needed near-term resiliency, their benefits will extend well into a post-Coronavirus future.  

EVER-EVOLVING STORE FORMATS

Retail stores are not dying; however, their roles are evolving with the times. Traditional malls may be struggling, but new small-format stores are thriving. Forward-thinking retailers are introducing more small-format stores  focused on creating new and convenient experiences for their customers. Even digital leaders continue to innovate and explore different store types, focusing on smaller online formats with very specific product offerings. Now more than ever, retailers must continue to innovate store formats, creating relevant experiences for their customers that seamlessly integrate with their online channel.  

DIGITAL EVOLUTION ALL AROUND

New retail trends are forcing retailers to reevaluate how technology can be advancing each area of their business – whether it’s channel specific (online, in-store) or behind the scenes in different functional areas (supply chain, customer service). Innovations in wireless data speeds, new payments technologies, AR/VR technologies, visual searches in digital channels, and customer service are all areas where digital innovations promise to enhance the shopper experience. Retailers that can seize the opportunity, particularly under threat of COVID-19 will win the day.  

NEW TRENDS IN RETAIL DATA AND ANALYTICS 

Analytics remains a hot topic among retailers as they look to get even closer to their customers by better understanding their wants, needs and behaviors. Amid the pandemic, this is more important than ever as retailers may only be able to reach customers via digital and social channels. Beyond customer intimacy, data continues to deliver meaningful returns in optimizing store operations, fraud detection, robot process automation, and merchandise planning.  

SUSTAINABILITY CRITICAL IN RETAIL TRENDS

Sustainable practices for retailers continue to driver consumer engagement and are ever more important as core business practices. Younger shoppers, Gen Z and Millennials in particular, re willing to spend an incremental 10% or more on sustainable products, according to reports. "Circular economies" where goods complete a full lifecycle of consumption and reuse (or recycling or upcycling) are likely to replace today's linear economy within 10 years, says Gartner. These younger shoppers already are outpacing spending of legacy generations and retailers must learn to adapt operating models and sustainability practices to meet their demands.  

FOSTERING DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Retailers must integrate diversity and inclusion in their business to protect and spur long-term brand growth. As mentioned above, younger, more diverse generations have become increasingly powerful in spending, which drives influence. Practices such as fashion size diversity and natural, ethnic-tailored beauty and fashion strive to foster inclusive brands and shopping experiences. Among their own employees, retailers need to foster a diverse and inclusive organization so they can attract and retain talent. This new retail trend dictates that diversity and inclusion is no longer a 'nice-to-have, rather a strategic imperative.  

IN SUMMARY

The COVID 19 pandemic continues to create uncertainty and disruption throughout the retail industry. In order to survive, retailers need to embrace digital technology and gain a firm understanding of consumer ideals and values. Retailers must continue to invest in efforts and resources that help them understand, engage, and relate to ever changing consumers.

SAP S/4HANA Implementation Challenges with Data   

As with any implementation, data will be a key challenge. While the details vary depending on the size of the company, product line, quality of data in the legacy system will remain in the front and center of an S/4 implementation.  

SAP S/4HANA Implementation Challenges with Architecture 

As you move to a new digital platform with S/4, there are several considerations/questions around the overall architecture: cloud or on prem? Single tenant (renamed S/4 Essentials) OR multi-tenant (renamed S/4 Extended)? Host it ourselves or look for a 3rd party hosting provider? Employee access (laptops, iPads, mobile phones) Security?  

SAP S/4HANA Challenges with Training and Change Management 

While this as an opportunity to move to a best practices based approach, this will be a change and you will need to overcome the quintessential response of ‘we are different’, ‘this is the way we have been doing it forever’.  

SAP S/4HANA Implementation with resources

Achieving Growth and Optimization in today’s environment is achievable, but you must focus on both elements. This is the key to outperforming your competitors in these tumultuous times.  Our sister company Clarkston Consulting has written a comprehensive article which can be found on their recent industry insight.  We have summarized this article below by outlining a set of five components to help you outperform your competitors approx. 2.8x faster than your peers (Figure 1).  Contact us to engage an SME to help you Balance Growth and Optimization in your organization. Visit our Book A Project page to learn more for your specific needs, SAP or otherwise. Figure 1: Out of the 380 S&P 500 companies analyzed, 22 companies outpaced their peers by 2.8x during the last recession (2007-2010). strategy consulting Clarkston analyzed S&P 500 companies during the ’07- ‘09 recession to understand which companies were able to outperform the market, what they did, and how and why they were able to do so. Experts found that any company can rise to become a market leader in a time of crisis. Of the less than 6% of organizations who managed to grow both total enterprise value and stock price during the recession, 70% were categorized under the CPG & retail and life sciences sectors (figure 2). Figure 2:  Almost 70% of the 22 companies identified as winners during the 2007-2009 recession came from the CPG/Retail and Life Sciences sectors. management consulting The patterns Clarkston found in what made companies successful during uncertain times were for Life Sciences organizations, a combination of well-timed M&A activity, robust product launch pipelines, and the right mix of commercial capabilities enabled winners to get their therapies to patients and grow faster than their peers. In the Retail and CPG sector, brands that delivered on functional elements of the shopping experience (e.g., convenience, functional performance, and the right value equation) and connected with the customer on a deep emotional level were more successful than their peers.    

Five Factors to Improve the Odds for Success of Growth and Optimization in Uncertain Times

 

#1: For Growth and Optimization - Invest for the future.

Balance daily operational needs with investments for the future.  Do not restrict investments. 55% of the companies that outpaced the market during the recession grew their capital expenditures year-over-year at the height of the recession, while only 22% of their peers did the same (figure 2). Figure 3:  55% of the winning companies in our analysis grew their capital expenditures at the height of the recession, compared to only 22% of the laggards. investments during a recession

#2: Drive new behaviors with KPIs.

Focus on driving “new” behaviors by designating specific metrics and KPIs. Organizations must do things differently and implement new KPIs to push teams forward – I.E. moving in an entirely new direction, or heading down an expected path but in a significantly accelerated way.   Leaders need to also hold themselves accountable to the new behaviors as well by modeling and promoting these newly desired behaviors.  

#3: Execute as an agile organization.

Adapt to changing conditions.  Create adaptive strategies, marked with visionary leadership, flexibility and transparency, and planning will help you prevail through uncertainty.  

#4: Simplify the strategy.

Develop a clear, easily understandable strategy. The simplicity of the message, the consistent and transparent communication, and a well-understood direction for where your organization needs to go will allow your company to move in unison towards a shared common goal. Ensure your strategy is clear, it connects with the boardroom’s goals, and to the actions of the frontline as they interact with customers daily. This will occur through multi-year strategic imperatives that will allow your organization to “flex” capabilities depending on conditions.  

#5: Articulate a common & shared purpose.

Unite your actions to serve a broader shared purpose.  It is this purpose that will serve as a “north star” to help your organization navigate turbulent times while staying focused on tasks at hand.  

Look to the Past to Move Into the Future for Growth and Optimization

  Uncertain times test every aspect of an organizations ability to survive.  Now is the time to reinforce your fundamental pillars no matter what difficulties you may face.

The Coronaviurs Pandemic is creating a new imperative for supply chain leaders to be more strategic in day-to-day management and long-term planning and optimization in order to create supply chain resiliency. Clarkston Consulting has written a comprehensive article on Supply Chain Resilience which can be found on their recent industry insight.  We have summarized this article below.  Please contact us to engage with an SME to help you with your Supply Chain Resiliency. Visit our Book A Project  to learn more for your specific needs, SAP or otherwise. Like firefighters, supply chain managers throw themselves at each day’s crisis, finding innovative solutions, and reaping praise and recognition for saving the day.  It’s ironic that the more time spent engaged in managing the day-to-day, the more time taken away from having an enduring impact on overall business success. Clarkston's experience working with consumer products and life science companies suggests that organizations fail to achieve ambitious transformations when they get caught in an “execution trap” when execution is not sufficiently balanced by strategy.  They have found that execution may outweigh strategy when time is not set aside for planning and optimization; when a healthy bias for action is not supported by facts and analysis; and when knowledge is overly concentrated in a few individuals.  

3 Execution Traps to Avoid for your Supply Chain:

 

  1. Make a supply chain resilience strategy, planning and optimization part of the annual planning process:

    Clarkston recommends supply chain leaders set aside time in advance of volume and financial planning to reassess how the supply network aligns to evolving commercial strategy, market conditions, and the company’s preference for risk.  Put it on the calendar and don’t let management of the current period crowd it out.

  2. Develop advanced analytical capabilities:

    There are 2 analytical capabilities that are relevant to supply chain risk management.
    1. Optimization models (or “digital twins”) provide the quantitative ability to assess explicit tradeoffs between service, cost, and assets.  Once developed, it is relatively straightforward to assess disruption scenarios and sensitivity analyses to understand your network’s tipping points.
    2. Use Data Science modeling to predict future events or discover patterns.  When the next disruption upends your supply chain, you would be well served to have established data science capabilities available to reduce the fog of uncertainty.

  3. Integrate strategy into sales & operations planning (S&OP):

    Businesses that have embraced S&OP have created highly productive cross-functional forums for mid to long term planning.  Make strategy an agenda item in each of the product, demand, and supply reviews to ensure that each function is operating in accordance with strategy, to monitor key initiatives, and to identify when a strategy change might make sense.
As companies pursue supply chain resilience there will certainly be battles between those with a shorter-term focus and those with the foresight to look farther down the road.  It is a fitting challenge for supply chain leaders who have aspired to be influential in the C-suite: garner investment in a higher cost supply network in favor of one that is more resilient and positioned to gain advantage when competitors falter.

SAP S/4HANA implementations are complex and multifaceted projects that require careful planning and analysis. One tool that SAP has developed to aid in the efficiency of S/4HANA implementations is the SAP Activate methodology. Our friends over at ASUG recently hosted an “Ask the Author” session with the authors of the book entitled “SAP Activate: Project Management for SAP S/4HANA” and we have summarized our key takeaways from that conversation for your convenience below. Whats Different About SAP S/4HANA and the Value In Its Adoption Before we get into the nuts and bolts of the SAP Activate methodology, it is important to first understand some of the key differences between SAP S/4HANA and other legacy ERP platforms. One of the many values of this technology is its ability to provide real-time performance. SAP S/4HANA excels at processing transactional analytics, keeping data consistent, and eliminating latency and duplication which ultimately reduces TCO. SAP S/4HANA also provides exceptional real-time insights. This is accomplished by ensuring there is always an abundance of accurate real-time data at the fingertips of the business users which results in improved data-driven decision making. Additionally, SAP’s “smart assist” allows business users the ability to have a single portal for all applicable detailed insights. With SAP S/4HANA, automation and intelligence are two key components that the platform is built around. Another key difference in SAP S/4HANA is its ability to adapt to the customers scope through a consumption as a service model. This allows organizations the ability to scale their SAP environment and capabilities as the business grows. Additionally, through its ability to visualize business models and process descriptions, organizations are always given clarity as to where they are in the business process. Key Concepts of SAP Activate Methodology  One major premise of the SAP Activate methodology is reliance on SAP Model Companies, LoB’s, and SAP Best Practices to run pre-delivered business processes. By doing this, organizations can accelerate their S/4HANA journey, validate solution fit, and employ the fit-to-standard cloud mindset. This mindset suggests that organizations are better served in the long run by adopting standard functionality as much as possible initially, while allowing for customization in critical areas where the business is differentiated from the SAP Model Company or LoB . Some of the other key components of the SAP Activate methodology that assist organizations in their journey to SAP S/4HANA are its agile nature and modular framework. SAP Activate is built to be agile so that organizations can tackle backlogged requirements in sprints that build on one another. Furthermore, this framework is modular in that it is designed to be scaled up or down based on the size, scope, and overall complexity of the implementation. How SAP Activate Methodology Assists with OCM The SAP Activate methodology assists organizations with OCM through the enrichment of end-user enablement and associated solution adoption activities. As opposed to conventional OCM workstreams, SAP Activate provides a single solution adoption workstream encompassing OCM, user enablement, adoption activities, and value management. This provides the framework needed for organizations to streamline the assessment of value and fit-to-standard at the beginning of the project, allowing for improved user adoption and accelerated business value during implementation. Whether you choose to go cloud, hybrid, or any-premise with your SAP S/4HANA implementation, the SAP Activate methodology provides significant coverage. By using this framework in conjunction with SAP best practices, you can significantly shorten your implementation lifecycle reducing the cycle time for ROI, and ultimately decreasing TCO.

As organizations emerge from the pandemic, many initiatives that were shelved will come back to life. Coming out of 2019, many of our clients were shaping roadmaps for adopting SAP S/4 HANA, despite SAP's further extension of ECC support options. The business benefits found in the new platform continue to drive interest and commitment from many companies looking to seize new opportunities in the improved solution. If you are facing a decision of whether and when to make the leap to S/4 HANA, you will want to build a solid business case based on evolving needs arising from our new post-pandemic reality. Our friends over at ASUG recently put out a great article outlining tips to create a successful business case for an SAP S/4 HANA Implementation. We have summarized the key takeaways from that article below:  SAP S/4 HANA  - Building your case One of the most effective places to begin building your business case is where you are currently experiencing the most pain. As it relates determining those areas, here are some questions to think about: Once you have identified the pain points, you can begin to craft a business case that outlines how SAP S/4 HANA provides solutions to each of these identified areas. Effective business cases excel at linking the business-value drivers of improvements to organizational goals and vision.

Building the right team 

In order to construct a compelling SAP S/4 HANA Implementation business case, it is imperative to have the right people involved in the conversation. Involving SAP super-users and key Business Process Owners will help to expedite the identification of pain points, as well as accelerate buy-in and user adoption once the initiative is approved and underway.

Addressing the cost of SAP S/4 HANA

After addressing the benefits of the S/4 HANA implementation, it is then important to calculate the associated costs of the project. Here are some key areas to include in the cost analysis: While there are always unforeseen circumstances that arise in any project, the more accurate picture you can paint upfront, the more effectively your organization can plan and budget for contingencies. For more details on best practices as it relates to identifying costs and budgeting appropriately, be sure to check out our previous insight “Insert SAP S/4 HANA common pitfalls and how to avoid them article link”.

Managing the adoption 

One of the most critical components of any SAP S/4 HANA implementation is Organizational Change Management (OCM). From the beginning, it is important to understand how everyone in the organization will be affected by this new technology and to develop a strategy to accelerate user adoption that ensures business outcomes are realized. For more information on SAP OCM and its role in the organization, be sure to check out a recent insight put out by our team entitled “Managing Change in SAP Enterprise Transformation”.

Our friends over at ASUG put out a great three-part article on how to avoid an SAP S/4HANA Implementation disaster. While we highly encourage you to check out the articles, if you're in a pinch and don't have time, we've summarized our key takeaways for you below:

SAP S/4 Implementation Staffing

Common traits of SAP S/4HANA Implementation failures:

Early decision areas to mitigate S/4HANA project risk:

Critical first steps to any SAP S/4HANA Implementation:

Project milestones & decision making:

Components that contribute to poor decision making:

Setting realistic budget expectations for an S/4HANA Implementation:

Key considerations in S/4HANA SI selection:

Keeping the S/4HANA project within budget and on schedule:

The primary driver and common denominator of successful SAP S/4 HANA implementations lies within the organizations ability to make high-quality decisions. Despite this fact, organizations often times find themselves more focused on the critical path, rather than empowering high-quality decision making. For more on these topics be sure to check out the full-length articles via the links provided below: Learn How to Avoid an SAP S/4HANA Disaster: Part One Learn How to Avoid an SAP S/4HANA Disaster: Part Two Learn How to Avoid an SAP S/4HANA Disaster: Part Three Regardless of where you are at in your SAP and enterprise systems journey, we want you to know that BCTG is here to help.

Retailers and B2B businesses alike are feverishly updating and revamping e-commerce platforms to meet changing online shopping requirements. And the challenges extend much further than the online experience - discerning shoppers consider a seamless digital interaction mere table stakes. Consumers and corporate shoppers demand a level of customer service and product availability that forces sellers to reimagine their supply chains and all the behind-the-scenes computing that makes pushing the 'Place Order Now' button a reliable experience. Leading management and technology consultants at Clarkston Consulting are helping retailers and CPG manufacturers climb this mountain. Clarkston recently featured a case study on successful efforts to guide a big-box retailer through enhancements of its e-commerce platforms to fit consumer demand. Summarized below, you can access the full case study here. Situation: A large big-box retailer (50,000+ employees, $10bn+ revenue) was struggling to deploy a new e-commerce platform while facing project management challenges. Objective: Improve e-commerce revenue and profitability while reducing maintenance and support costs. Approach: Unite multiple work streams under common project leadership to manage  design, development and testing, and system deployment strategy. Outcomes: Improved UX, streamlined customer journey, enhanced baby registry experience, improved desktop and mobile experiences. E-commerce solutions abound and our consultants are equipped to guide you through process and technology projects, whether you leverage tools like SAP Hybris, Magento, SalesForce Commerce Cloud, Oracle ATG, Shopify, or other leading tools.
Since 1972 SAP has been at the forefront of ERP solutions allowing customers to be the best they can be, starting with mainframe-based solutions all the way through Cloud based and In-Memory solutions.  Clarkston Consulting has written a comprehensive article on S/4 Streamlined which can be found on their recent industry insight.  We have summarized this article below.  Please contact us, Bull City Talent, to engage with a SME to help you streamline your S/4 Hana install.  Visit our Book A Project page to learn more for your specific needs, SAP or otherwise. Prior to S/4 HANA, SAP R/3 and ECC solutions were delivered using “The ASAP Methodology”.  This methodology became the gold standard of ERP implementation allowing flexibility and repeatability to consistently deliver maximum potential from their business. Wtih the advent of S/4 HANA, a new methodology has emerged, streamlining the implementation process to keep pace with the new streamlined technology. S/4 HANA’s ability to operate and process transactions entirely in memory gives it astounding computing speed way beyond the capabilities of disk-based solutions. S/4 HANA is now streamlined with more pre-configuration options that moves the implementation in more of a “Agile” direction for solution implementation.  Accordingly, SAP rolled it out with a new project methodology name the “SAP Activate” methodology. SAP Activate helps the customer reduce project costs and implement the S/4 HANA solution with a shorter project duration as clients can use accelerators with pre-defined processes delivered up front. This approach streamlines all phases of the ERP project starting from the kickoff of a new SAP project implementation and continuing through and after Go Live. Five phases of Activate Methodology:
  1. Prepare
  2. Explore
  3. Realize
  4. Deploy
  5. Post-Production Support
The SAP Activate Methodology The SAP Activate Methodology Our sister company, Clarkston Consulting is taking the lead in running with this approach by rolling out pre-configured “SAP Accelerator” solutions for Life Sciences, Consumer Products, and Wholesale Distribution industries. These accelerator solutions delivered by Clarkston Consulting include pre-configured solutions, custom developments, system documentation and training materials that will change system delivery from the historic approach of “Gather Requirements-Build-Test-Test-Test-Go Live” to a model of “Gap Analysis-Solution Adjustment-Test-Go-Live”.   They deliver proven solutions for these industries in a shorter time frame with less risk.  Thus, helping clients unlock the value of their business faster and cheaper than ever before. As ERP solutions have evolved, it is wise to evolve the implementation approach along with them.  Clarkston’s SAP S/4 HANA Accelerator Solutions for Life Sciences, Consumer Products and Wholesale Distribution keep them at the forefront of that evolution.

As an SAP and IT staffing partner, we work closely with our clients to ensure they have the right combination of resources and expertise to realize their strategic initiatives. Below, we are outlining 5 key SAP talent trends in 2022. These are the modules, add-ons, and SAP technologies that are driving demand in 2022. 1. BI/BW/Embedded Analytics As businesses move to data-driven, analytics-backed decision-making, solutions like SAP BI, BW, and Embedded Analytics provide the infrastructure to support that decision-making with real-time data and visibility into your business. BI is a centralized suite for data reporting, visualization, and data sharing. It helps transform data into useful insights in a flexible, simplified, and personalized way to increase user autonomy. BW is a model-driven data warehousing platform that collects, modifies, and stores data. This solution manages data in a new way, with quality assurance and production. Embedded Analytics is an operational reporting platform that allows for personalized and seamless analytic integration across, providing accurate, real-time data in a timely manner. These solutions provide businesses with real-time data in an easy-to-digest manner, enabling them to make informed, strategic decisions – quickly and efficiently. 2. SAP Fiori SAP Fiori is all about cultivating the user experience. This design system is easy-to-use and customizable and is focused on a consistent and integrated user experience. SAP Fiori leads to greater user satisfaction and productivity, and users are able to become SAP experts in a flexible and seamless way. As consumers, shoppers, and business partners increasingly move toward digital channels, UX will be a significant criterion for success. 3. SAP Master Data Governance SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) works to improve data quality and consistency at the organizational level. This platform provides businesses with a cohesive and consolidated database, simplifying data management while increasing accuracy. With much of modern business strategy dependent on the power of analytics, solutions like SAP MDG provide a foundation for well-maintained, harmonized data to ensure that business are consistently making informed, data-backed decisions. 4. SAP IBP Supply chain issues have been the lion’s share of headlines over the last 18 months. To help businesses maintain resilience, SAP IBP, a cloud-based solution, can aid in managing supply chains with classic planning and predictive functions. The platform hosts several modules, like SAP IBP for Sales and Operations and SAP IBP for Inventory. As businesses seek to establish more resilient and agile supply chains – and better prepare for and predict future disruptions –tools like SAP IBP enable that flexibility with real-time visibility and harmonization. 5. SAP CRM and Customer Experience The Age of the Customer is here to stay – and businesses must be leveraging a leading CRM in order to compete in today’s environment. SAP CRM and Customer Experience work to attract and retain consumers by automating and integrating sales, marketing, customer service, and eCommerce. Unique insights from the database work to create cohesive and personalized customer profiles while increasing revenue. SAP CRM and Customer Experience evolve the capabilities of business to realize a view of the total customer experience and in turn improve customer satisfaction, loyalty, and sales performance. Conclusion In today’s ever-evolving landscape, businesses continue to leverage solutions like SAP to transform and innovate their competitive standing. These five SAP talent trends all work in unique ways to help businesses make strategic and informed decisions. BI, BW, and Embedded Analytics provide real-time insights to drive strategic practices, while SAP Fiori enhances the user experience. SAP Master Data Governance improves accuracy and consistency, SAP IBP works to manage supply chains, and SAP CRM and Customer Experience creates unified customer profiles. If businesses are seeking solutions to help with decision-making, enhancing the user experience, or becoming more resilient in today's landscape, these SAP technologies can help achieve success.

While the future of SAP remains unpredictable, the planned path forward is to keep investing and developing SAP S/4HANA Cloud, specifically in the Business Technology Platform as the main component of the technology strategy for SAP developer experience. At the annual SAP TechEd event last year, SAP Chief Technology Officer Juergen Mueller admitted that a weakness of SAP is that it lacks an SAP developer-friendly system and contains complexities and roadblocks. Many developers have worried about their value potentially diminishing because SAP has become more structured. Mueller enthusiastically calls on the strategists and designers to enhance their experience going forward. Those responsible for these changes include various developer resources that work with different technologies and varying degrees of expertise, and ultimately are tasked with building the future of SAP for SAP developers.

SAP is Dedicated to Amplifying the SAP Developer Experience in Developer Communities:

Extensibility   Easier for developers to work the same way as ECC system but in SAP S/4 HANA cloud (Enterprise Messaging). Event driven architectures including ABAP (language behind the SAP company) are still very relevant in the future development, and as a result SAP is introducing the release of 2011 SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment – Multitenancy. Data to Value   SAP S/4 HANA cloud combines the capabilities of on premise with cloud capabilities, and therefore connects SAP and non-SAP environments. With its 2021 release, AP Cloud will be able to handle Petabyte sized data and would even enable raw data files from SQL to be imported or exported. The ability to connect different sources into SAP Analytics cloud allows customers to have access to data that can be used to create insights about the organization. This will be an essential tool in the coming years for designers, data integration and much more. Integration   Full integration within SAP systems has become a possibility due to the SAP one domain model and SAP Cloud platform master data integration services. Each of these are available out the box and for free. Integration of SAP into 3rd parties is also possible for the SAP developer experience. To learn more about integration and extension needs, SAP API Business Hub is available offering a catalog with broad range selection of products, which includes SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Also visit roadmaps.sap.com/go/btp.

As a business, determining when to hire full time vs. contingent staff can be a daunting task, especially given the current talent shortage facing the IT industry. If you need someone to solve problems long-term, consider full-time employment; But, if you need skills for a short period of time, consider a contract worker. Both full-time and contingent staffing have its pros and cons but choosing between the two ultimately boils down to the overarching business goals. Full-Time Employment The biggest advantage of hiring full-time staff is that it leads to long-term growth. When you know you have a demand for long-term work, full-time employment fills the gap and delivers stability within the business model. Not only do you have an employee and their skills at your fingertips, but they are embedded into the company and its culture. Full-time workers create security, with a qualified and reliable individual always on-deck. An employee who feels less stressed and more valued, respected, and appreciated will exhibit a greater level of loyalty and productivity compared to those with negative experiences. A full-time employee will develop company-specific skills and provide the business with stability and long-term success. Contingent Staffing In December 2017, 20% of American workers were contract workers or independent contractors. Since then, analysts estimate that contract workers make up as much as  As the new normal of remote work maintains its prevalence, contract work is finding its way into the modern employment culture model. Contingent staffing opens the door for highly specialized workers who can help meet timely needs while avoiding any additional costs like training. Contract work is growing, and it is an innovative way to yield flexibility and save money. A recent study found that the cost of hiring full-time over contract workers in IT was much more expensive, from taxes to benefits. If skills are only needed for the immediate short-term, a contact worker is the ideal route to take with limited costs and risks. Making the Decision Choosing between full-time versus contingent staffing comes down to doing what’s best for your company. Full-time employment leads to long-term growth, immersing that individual into the company culture and fostering respect, loyalty, and productivity. Contingent employment is perfect for short-term projects, as it is less costly and targets in-demand skills. When making the decision, consider the overarching business goals and the companies specific needs, along with why you’re hiring. For IT Staffing and Consulting, contact us today.

There are many qualities that an SAP project manager (PM) must maintain and exhibit throughout a project to lead the team to success. Apart from the necessary technical skills, success for an SAP project manager will be defined by their ability to activate their team and stakeholders. Oftentimes, those who work in technical capacities are not well-versed in communication or relationship-building strategies that ultimately can make the difference.    

5 SAP Project Manager Skills

To ensure success and seamless integration on any project, and with any team, these are the key skills and traits that every SAP project manager should possess.  1. Trustworthiness. The most important criterion for an SAP project manager is that they can earn trust. Trust is the foundation of any successful working or professional relationship. Being able to gain one’s trust involves taking different actions and steps, and generally can be done by following best practices. These best practices involve transparency, openness, and humility. The SAP project manager and client must be able to collaborate effectively – to do so requires mutual respect and trust that can only be earned with persistence. A foundation of trust can be built and sustained by following Clarkston Consulting’s philosophy: we make our clients’ purpose our purpose.   2. Active listening. An SAP project manager must also demonstrate active listening skills. While this skill supports trust-building, it’s also important for the PM as a way to gather valuable stakeholder perspective on how they think the project is going. An important distinction to make is in the different types of listening and their value – listening to hear is different than listening to understand. The only way to gain useful knowledge is by listening to really comprehend and inquire further if needed. While our job as consultants is to share information with the client, their wants and needs are ultimately the starting point for any project and must be referenced continuously for the entire duration of the project.   3. Relevant experience. Prior, relevant experience implementing SAP platform(s) is important for any SAP project manager. It may seem intuitive, but many project managers have to start somewhere, and it’s very difficult for a PM to be successful without previous knowledge, skills, or experience. Of course, the PM does not need to have implemented the exact scope of the proposed client project; rather, the PM should have sufficient exposure to SAP applications to understand the client implementation landscape. Without this basic knowledge, it will be difficult to communicate expertise and demonstrate efficiency.  4. Active communication. A fourth criterion for an effective SAP project manager is solid communications skills with both the client team and the consultant team. Partner PMs are highly reliant on information provided by both groups and thus must be able to both give and receive it with ease. Clients look to the PM for clear communication about various aspects of the project – progress, issues, etc. It’s imperative that the PM understand the internal consultant team’s work process and any issues in order to best represent the team to the client. While some of this information is embedded within the project structure (e.g., various documentation), it’s just as important that the PM be active in communication – spoken and written – that enhances the dialogue required for project success.   5. Resourcefulness. The most effective SAP project managers have the ability to engage with resources beyond the project team and scope when necessary. Oftentimes, an outside perspective is necessary to obtain information and perspective that can aid in client project success. This could mean reaching into resources through consulting services, SAP itself, or possibly even previous clients to find relevant solutions that meet the client’s requirements. The PM must be confident and comfortable with this outreach and able to utilize surrounding resources for the benefit of a project in any situation that arises.  All in all, these criteria lay the foundation for success and problem solving within a project. Creating a safe space where both clients and fellow consultants feel understood, listened to, and valued is crucial to obtaining key input to achieve ultimate success with any SAP project.   This piece was originally published by Greg Demers at Clarkston Consulting.

As a prospective employee, leveraging a recruiter’s knowledge by asking the right questions can provide useful insights into the job position and company. A recruiter’s job is to facilitate a good match between employee and company, so they’re the perfect resource to determine if this job is the best fit for you. Their understanding of the job and company can also help you cater your resume, cover letter, and interview responses to mirror the skills desired. Most importantly, asking the right questions can make a great first impression and set you apart from other candidates. Below we outline some of the most important questions to ask your recruiter during the interview process.  

Questions to Ask Your Recruiter

How long has the position been open? The answer to this question can point out red flags as a prospective employee. It can give valuable insight into the hiring process and to how many candidates have already explored this position. If the position has been open for a while, other candidates may have found a reason to decline. Or, the hiring manager may be very particular and selective. The hiring manager may not know what they are looking for and candidates may have faced challenges that led them to walk away. On the other hand, if the position just opened, the hiring process may take more time as most hiring managers will want to interview multiple candidates before making an offer. What are the most critical skills needed? Understanding what skills are most important and desired by the company is essential in accessing if this is the right job for you. It will show you whether or not you’re qualified with the desired skills or if your skillset will work well in this position. Furthermore, the needed skills can help highlight if you’re truly interested in this position. If your skills don’t line up, it may be a good time to explore a different position. But, if you feel that you have the skills desired and that this job would be a good fit for you, use the answer to this question to cater yourself to the hiring manager. Using specific keywords in your resume and cover letter or preparing skills-specific talking points and questions will give you an upper hand against other candidates. What are some reasons that other candidates weren’t selected? Similarly to the first question of “how long has this position been open,” the answer to this question can tell you a lot. On the company side, it may show you that the hiring manager is extremely selective or may not know what they want. It also highlights what qualities and skills possessed by the candidate are most important for this position. If you’re lucky enough to get a specific and detailed answer, it could underline mistakes made by other candidates that you’ll want to avoid. What's turnover like at this company? Turnover rates say a lot about a company. If the company has a high turnover rate, there must be some challenges with the business-side or employee-side – neither of which are particularly appealing. Whether it be unrealistic expectations or an undesirable work environment, the turnover rate can help you decide if this position and company are the right fit for you. What is the company culture like? Company culture is increasingly important in today’s society. You want the work environment, values, goals, and more to align with your own. If you are looking for a team-based workflow but this position focuses on independent projects, for example, you may want to look elsewhere. Or if you value diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE & I) commitments and initiatives but this company has none, there is most likely another company out there that will be a better fit for you. What’s the time frame for filling this position? Knowing the time frame for filling the position can help manage expectations. If there’s a sense of urgency, you can expect to hear back from the hiring manager rather quickly. But if the position was recently posted, the hiring time frame will most likely be extended as they will want to explore and interview an array of candidates. In case of the latter, you may want to consider other job postings if you are looking to start as soon as possible.  

Wrapping Up

At the end of the day, recruiters are the best resource when exploring a new job position. The above questions to ask your recruiter can enable a more seamless experience, particularly in the onboarding process. The recruiter's insight into the company and job alike can help you decide if this position is for you, and if it is, their knowledge can help you present yourself as the ideal candidate.

The Great Resignation has spared no one – including the life sciences industry. For an industry that traditionally experiences below-average turnover rates, recent macro talent trends have created new challenges for the life sciences industry. With previous years reflecting a turnover rate of 10%, the industry jump to nearly 20% each quarter is undoubtedly cause for concern for some. While turnover remains a threat for many businesses, the industry continues to experience record growth across a variety of metrics. In the coming year, 71% of life sciences companies plan to increase their workforce across several functions and skillsets. Below, we outline just a few of the key life sciences talent trends taking hold in 2022.  

Record Demand for Lab and Biomanufacturing Space Creates Demand for Quality Resources

As the pandemic highlighted the fragility of our global supply chain, businesses in the life sciences industries recognized the long-term threat that a dispersed supply chain can pose. As pandemic-driven lockdowns disrupted the distribution of drugs, life sciences businesses are now investing in stateside facilities with a 34% increase in demand since mid-2020. Adding to this demand, the science of medicine has evolved, and with that evolution, there’s a greater need for more sophisticated manufacturing centers. As targeted cell and gene therapies rise to prominence in the industry, lab operations and manufacturing facilities are starting to blur together in next generation biomanufacturing spaces. With this rise in demand for biomanufacturing real estate, there’s been a subsequent increase in demand for personnel in the quality and laboratory functions to support the production and distribution of next-gen treatments. Energizing this demand further is the lack of a strong talent pipeline from lab and/or quality-centric academic centers. An already limited talent pool coupled with a sharp increase in demand will only serve to create an even more competitive market for resources throughout 2022.  

Next Generation Treatments Require Next Generation Skills

While traditional skills remain in demand in the life sciences space, increasing reliance on data, analytics, and digital tools and capabilities has created strong demand for digital talent with capabilities in bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and advanced analytics, to name a few. While this demand has been rising for several years, the circumstances of the pandemic forced businesses to double down investment in these areas as a tool for mitigating operational complications. For instance, as businesses were forced to halt traditional, in-person clinical trials during the pandemic, the use of predictive analytics and decentralized clinical trial operations is becoming increasingly common, forcing new skillsets and expertise in order to operationalize and successfully manage clinical trials effectively going forward. Unfortunately for the life sciences industry, skills in data, analytics, and digital are in near universal demand across almost every industry. In order to combat this talent gap, businesses are exploring a myriad of ways to bolster their next-gen skills, including managed services agreements with digital and analytics service providers, upskilling existing staff, and an increased focus on contingent work.  

Back to Basics in Order to Address Disruption at this Scale

Regardless of the technology or functional area at hand, project management skills continue to become more and more critical for businesses in the life sciences industry. According to the Project Management Institute, the project management labor force is expected to grow by 33% by 2027. Unprecedented disruption has given way for widespread business transformation in the life sciences industry. In order to deliver on these transformation strategies, businesses are relying on project management professionals to manage complex initiatives and projects in IT, R&D, quality, sales, marketing, and more. For many businesses, addressing the new realities of the modern business landscape requires the adoption of new technologies. In this respect, a strong project manager is critical to ensure a successful implementation that creates little to no downtime for the business and its teams. Looking ahead, project management will remain a critical demand for life sciences businesses in 2022 and beyond.  

Life Sciences Talent Trends – What’s Next?

These are just a few of the many trends driving life sciences talent acquisition and development strategies for businesses in 2022. Apart from those we discussed here, we’ve also seen a rapid increase in demand in areas including supply chain, SAP, and executive leadership.

Staff augmentation is the outsourcing of temporary workers to fill short-term capacity within a company. Similarly to contingent staffing, this model helps diminish the gap between skills possessed within the company and skills needed for a project’s success. With the current talent shortage facing the IT industry, staff augmentation helps fill gaps with external talent. Tapping into an external talent pool helps augment capabilities and improve the bottom line. Companies can hire skilled workers or teams geared towards their needs for short-term or long-term projects. With a new sense of flexibility, staff augmentation boosts efficiency, quality, and success. While augmented staff typically work remote, they are still part of the team, and the same in-house rules apply. Since staff augmentation is used on an as-needed basis, it is a fast, flexible, and efficient method of outsourcing.

 

Debunking Myths About Staff Augmentation

Myth #1: It's expensive and offers no cost savings. The first misconception about staff augmentation is that it is expensive. Looking at the big picture, staff augmentation is less expensive over time than full-time employment. First, augmented staff is usually paid hourly. Unlike full-time employees, there are no additional costs like fixed salaries, bonuses, and employee benefits. Internal costs like hiring and training are avoided entirely, and all needed skills come with the augmented staff. Myth #2: It goes hand-in-hand with communication issues. The second misconception is that staff augmentation presents communication issues. When augmented staff live abroad or in different time zones, people assume communication barriers exist. It can be easy to assume that misinterpretation arises with remote work, but in an increasingly remote world virtual collaboration is at novel levels and these fears are diminishing. Augmented teams are designed to fit into the workflow of the project and company for which they are working, and having the right tools, resources, and processes set in place can easily overcome any communication obstacles. Myth #3: There is no control due to time and cultural differences. The next misconception is that there is a lack of control with staff augmentation. In terms of time and culture differences, expectations are set prior to beginning the project and can be easily adjusted to benefit the company and the augmented staff. Clear communication helps facilitate control, and at the end of the day, augmented staff are treated the same as full-time employees. Developers also work exclusively with the contracting company, giving the company more control over project recruitment and management. Myth #4: It's too risky and does not provide the same quality. The fourth misconception is that staff augmentation is not as efficient, lacks productivity, and lowers quality. This assumption typically ties into the remote aspect of augmented staff, when in reality, virtual work promotes the flexibility and responsibility of these workers. In terms of risk, the company is choosing candidates that have the abilities, skills, and expertise needed for the project. Recruiting top talent in this seamless cycle helps remove time wasted and enhance focus on the quality of the job that needs to get done. Myth #5: Staff augmentation offers few long-term benefits. The last misconception is that staff augmentation has few long-term benefits. Augmented staff cater towards immediate and specific company goals, while covering needs that full-time employees cannot meet. While augmented staff thrive in the short-term, in-house teams can also learn a lot from their expertise. With higher efficiency and speed, there is a sense of scalability as companies can measure success and improve services.

 

Final Thoughts

Staff augmentation provides companies with an easy route to project success by outsourcing needed talent. Not only is it less expensive than hiring full-time employees, but it also leans into the increasingly remote workplace. Communication issues and a lack of control are easily overcome, as expectations are set early-on to ensure project efficiency. Choosing workers or teams with the needed skills and expertise leads to greater productivity and quality, while benefiting the company in the short and long-term. Ultimately, staff augmentation fosters scalability, flexibility, and efficiency while leading to project success. For IT Staffing and Consulting, contact us today.

One-third of hiring managers know within the first 90 seconds if they’ll hire a candidate. With remote interviews becoming the new norm, it’s more important than ever to differentiate yourself from competitors in a large applicant pool and leave a lasting impression. These remote interview tips address the new dynamics facing candidates in the new normal. There’s an ongoing labor and talent shortage in the tech industry; in January 2022, nearly 340,000 IT job openings across industries remained unfulfilled. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re seeing more companies move toward hybrid or completely virtual working environments, presenting an opportunity for a wider pool of candidates to apply and interview for these roles. A virtual interview can either be a relief or a nightmare. Some people perform better with face-to-face interaction, while others feel more confident behind the screen, particularly with the emerging online landscape made common during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to virtual interviews, and it’s best to understand both in order to execute the best possible interview. Since a remote interview doesn’t bind applicants by geographic location like an-in person interview might, there’s most likely a greater pool of applicants. As such, it’s important to stand out in your interview – for the good reasons, not the bad! Although this interview will be virtual, standard interview preparation tips still apply – be sure to dress professionally and arrive on time. Below we outline six key remote interview tips for a successful virtual interview. 1)  Come prepared. Make sure you have done your research on the company you’re interviewing with ahead of time. Having little to no knowledge of the company is the most common mistake made during interviews. Showing a prior knowledge of the company culture and their values will help you better demonstrate what you will add to the organization. 2)  Ensure your tech is ready. Consider calling a friend using the same technology and platform you will use during the interview. Be sure to get comfortable with all the tools you’ll need for the interview ahead of time. This ensures that your computer will run the software without technical difficulties or privacy settings unexpectedly restricting audio or video during the call. You’ll also want to be sure to check the strength of your internet connection to avoid lag and interruption. Additionally, this “practice round” gives you the opportunity to set up a professional background with good lighting and minimal distractions. Pro tip: Take this test run as an opportunity to rehearse your interview conversation and monitor your speaking pace. Nervous job candidates tend to speak at a faster pace and skip pauses before important points, limiting your ability to effectively communicate your qualifications.  3) Be engaged. Don’t forget about body language just because of the screen. Body language boils down to what you’re communicating without speaking. These nonverbal cues can include your posture and eye contact (or lack thereof) as well as fidgeting and moving around, all of which will be easily picked up by your camera. Looking to the side of your screen or toggling between tabs on your computer will be distracting not only to you, but to the person conducting the interview. Also be mindful to look into the webcam when speaking, rather than at your reflection. Many studies on facial behaviors during job interviews have shown that eye contact and smiling are particularly important to employers. 4) Avoid distractions. In accordance with correct body language and eye contact, be sure to avoid outside distractions. If you plan on taking notes during the interview, opt for pen and paper rather than typing on the computer. This will limit fidgeting as well as prevent the sound of typing being picked up by your computer's microphone, both things that may signal distraction to the interviewer. Have your phone set aside either completely off or on “do not disturb” to avoid your eyes diverting away from the screen. 5) Be yourself. This is perhaps the most important piece of advice in any interview, virtual or in-person. Try not to follow a script of what you think the interviewer wants to hear. Rather, engage in a meaningful, truthful conversation. Remote interviews, in particular, can make it tempting to follow a script or look at pre-written notes saved on your screen, but this could do more harm than good. Engaging in a meaningful, genuine conversation that showcases your energy and passion about the position while also demonstrating your individual skillset will leave a lasting impression. Pro tip: Think of the three best qualities about yourself or qualifications you want to convey in your interview. These three qualities should be the impression you want your recruiter to remain in their head following the interview. For example, your dependability, creative problem-solving, and proficiency with database languages. 6)  Follow up after the interview. After the interview, you can't go wrong with a follow up email to thank someone for their time. A good strategy is an email directly to the interviewer, conveying your enthusiasm for the role and your appreciation for the opportunity to speak with them. Remote hiring is not going anywhere soon, so it’s essential to fully understand and prepare using these remote interview tips in order to stand out from your competition and ultimately secure your dream IT tech role. In preparation for your remote interview, research the company and interviewer, ensure your technology is functioning properly, eliminate unnecessary distractions, and don’t forget to follow up with your recruiter shortly after. With the correct amount of preparedness, you can confidently tackle your remote interview and secure the job position as a prospective IT consultant.

Hiring and screening SAP candidates can be a difficult task, and we know the process can take a considerable amount of time for all involved. How do you know if you’re asking the right questions? What skills should you be looking for? What if all of the candidates are technically strong and skilled? What if I get it wrong?   When it comes to hiring the right SAP candidate, hiring managers must be able to think beyond just finding someone with the right technical skills. Yes, it’s important to have a skilled SAP candidate to join your team. But you also need someone who fits in with the values of your organization, is a team player, and has the right attitude to deliver a successful SAP implementation for any project.  A screening interview is the first step in the hiring process to help your company determine if the candidate has the qualifications needed for the role. With proper preparation by the hiring team or manager, your company can start the hiring process on a positive note and work toward bringing in the perfect SAP candidate.   Below we’ve outlined four considerations for screening SAP candidates.   1. Ask open-ended questions that give the candidate the opportunity to describe their experiences. Many candidates have a vast knowledge of SAP, but is it the experience your company is looking for? During the screening process, it’s necessary to provide plenty of room for the candidate to talk, in detail, about their previous work, projects, and implementations. Instead of asking, “how many implementation projects have you completed?”, consider asking, “Can you tell me about your last implementation project, and how it differed from your previous ones?” By providing room for a discussion, you’re likely to learn more about the candidate’s relevant experience and expertise and if they’re the right fit for the job.  2. Think past the technical questions. While you want a candidate who is technically strong, it’s just as important that you think holistically about the candidate, too. Can your candidate explain a time when they’ve been put in a difficult situation? How did they handle it? Are they able to manage time wisely? What does teamwork or collaboration mean to them? Remember, this SAP candidate is joining your team and will be representing your organization, so you want to ensure that the soft skills – communication, time management, integrity – are identified and prioritized in the screening process, too. 3. Not every SAP candidate is the same. Be flexible! While it helps to have pre-planned questions and a script to pull from, it’s equally as important to be ready to pivot if the conversation veers another way. Take time to truly listen to your candidate and ask follow-up questions where needed. If the full 30- or 60-minute interview covers just one question, that’s perfectly fine, as long as you’re gathering the information and details you need to make an informed hiring decision. 4. It's a two-way conversation. At the end of the day, while you’re the one screening an SAP candidate for a potential hire, the candidate is also screening you to see if your company is a right fit for them. As such, it’s imperative to make sure the screening process is an overall positive experience for the candidate. Be attentive to their responses, leave time for questions, and make an effort to provide them with the information and resources necessary for them to best understand the role and its qualifications.   Despite the ongoing tech talent crunch, it’s still possible for companies to recruit and hire top SAP candidates. Proper preparation for screening SAP candidates can go a long way toward ensuring that you’re hiring the right candidate for your role. If you’re looking for assistance in bringing on the right SAP talent for a project, our team can provide you with IT staffing to fit your business needs.  
The job market has seen a rapid recovery post-pandemic with 95% of the lost jobs due to COVID being regained. As job growth exceeds even pre-pandemic levels, firms are struggling to evaluate all of the applicants for roles. On average, each corporate job attracts 250 resumes with only an opening for one hire. This is good for companies that receive many qualified applicants to choose from, but it can also mean extensive time needed to properly evaluate them all. Consequently, companies have made advancements with technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) in hiring processes to increase efficiency. Below we outline some of the most important considerations for both HR divisions and prospective candidates. 

 

The Uses of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a tool used across various industries to automate processes. Computers can often recognize patterns or find specified criteria much faster than humans. As a result, AI has been employed by companies that receive large numbers of applicants for job postings. In addition, a branch of AI called machine learning helps the computer system progressively become better at its task over time. For example, the system may become increasingly skilled at identifying a target applicant over thousands of trial simulations.   Here are the two most common uses of AI in hiring processes:  Résumé Screening: When considering that 75 – 88% of applicants for a role are unqualified, it makes even more sense to use an automated process to filter them out. AI and machine learning allow for massive shortlists of candidates to be evaluated based on predetermined criteria. This might include searching for certain keywords, past experiences, education, GPA, and titles. As a result, companies have been able to reduce their cost per screen by 75%. Hiring managers can now devote their limited time to evaluating those who do make it through the screening process, which leads to more qualified hires.   Notably, companies that use AI resume screening software may also see a 35% reduction in the turnover rate. This is huge for smaller companies that need to be strategic with hiring budgets when the average cost per hire is over $4,000.   Video Interviews: AI can also be trained to evaluate video interviews, in which candidates are asked the same set of predetermined questions. One of the leading companies in this space is HireVue, which provides talent acquisition departments with information about applicants that tends to transcend traditional data. Candidates will have limited time to view a question and prepare an answer before being recorded. Prep time generally falls between 30 and 60 seconds, and oftentimes candidates only have one or two attempts at the video. This means that responses will be real, for better or worse.   The AI employed by HireVue evaluates a candidate’s eye contact, body movements, facial expressions, nuances of voice, and keywords used. This allows companies to eliminate or move applicants on to the next round more easily, with HireVue citing a 90% increase in speed of hiring. Some companies that employ HireVue include Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Amazon. 

 

The Downsides of AI in Hiring Processes

Beyond the obvious fact that a computer can overlook a candidate that a human hiring manager may not, there are a host of potential pitfalls with AI in hiring processes. AI is often praised for being objective and lacking human biases that may discriminate. This, however, may not actually be the case since the software often has access to past hires and thus picks up on previous discriminatory trends. Historically white, male, and ‘ivy-league’ educated industries may see their software perpetuate these past trends by thinking that those are still the appropriate hires.  HireVue can also be viewed as somewhat dystopian in the sense that a computer is evaluating humans. This may be off putting for candidates who would perform differently in an in-person interview. 

 

Beating the AI 

As a candidate, learning to surpass artificial intelligence in the hiring process is necessary with its rapid adoption by large companies.   Here are a few tips to put your best foot forward in any online application:  Keyword Optimization: Artificial intelligence that screens résumés is often looking for certain keywords or phrases. For example, a consulting position may look for words like “founded,” “analyzed,” or “led,” and phrases might include “created solutions” or “improved efficiency.” Reading the job posting for the key skills that the position is looking for can often be a good start for tailoring a résumé to bypass the AI screening.  Recording Yourself: Video interviews can often be unnerving for those who are unfamiliar with them. Rather than responding to another person, you are faced with staring at a camera. It’s best to record yourself with practice questions before sitting down for the real deal. This lets you view yourself on screen and determine what looks and sounds best.   General Tips: When participating in a video interview, it’s important to remember that staring straight at the camera rather than watching yourself will generate a better score from the AI. It’s also key to exhibit natural body language, use a tone of voice that isn’t overenthusiastic or monotone, and wear professional clothing. Finally, remember to research potential questions that the company might ask because you will only have a brief period of time to prepare an answer.  

 

Conclusion 

As a hiring manager, it’s important to remember the value in evaluating candidates by humans. Cutting costs and improving efficiency are important, but there’s no substitute for a hiring manager’s “gut decision.” A blend of AI and human observation may offer the best balance to shorten a long list while still having human insight for those who make it through. At the end of the day, companies need to hire the best candidate while using the most logical resources, and AI is one of many avenues to consider.
The first day on the job for a new employee doesn’t need to be stressful. It’s a great time to meet new people, become familiar with a new environment, and enjoy starting the next chapter of your career. There will be lots of relatively straight forward onboarding tasks and items to learn, but this doesn’t mean sitting back. Instead, it’s a chance to set the tone for the future success of your career.   Below, we created a checklist in order to have a successful first day.  

 

A Solid Plan for Your First Day on the Job

Taking a few minutes to draft a plan the day before will go a long way. Map out the commute time and be cognizant that the route may take longer during morning traffic. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early, but don’t enter the building until shortly before it’s time.  Set out the proper attire the night before to avoid any hassle the next morning. If necessary, reach out to someone in the company to see what’s appropriate. If still unsure, siding with professional formal is always a safe bet.  Finally, make sure to have any mobile devices or electronics charged and set up properly. If there’s software that is needed for your first day on the job, it’s important to already have it installed.  If your first day will be remote, prepare a clean space for any video meetings. Be aware of what is directly behind you in the camera and make sure to ask anyone else in the household for silence during expected meeting times. 

 

Banking Information

If you don’t have a mobile platform that gives ready access to banking information, make sure to bring it. Onboarding typically involves registering within the payroll system, so account and routing numbers are necessary.   In addition, if there are forms to review before arriving make sure to complete them. Coming prepared for onboarding makes the process go smoother and easier.

As contingent staffing expands, employers must take specific steps in order to ensure efficiency across the board, from embracing digitalization and emerging technologies to clarifying expectations and values. The process of onboarding contingent staff, specifically, continues to change as the workplace becomes not only more digital but more virtual as well.   Below, we have outlined some tips for onboarding contingent staff that will help you stay ahead of the competition.   

Tip #1: Digitalize the onboarding and orientation process.  

This step, along with the following tips for onboarding contingent staff, is essential in this day-and-age. The workforce is moving toward an increasingly virtual environment, so shifting your onboarding process to digital will not only help with convenience, but it will show candidates flexibility and understanding. More importantly, a digital onboarding process will boost efficiency by expediting background checks, paperwork, and the overall process. Digitalization also promotes organization and time management, making the onboarding process easy to manage.    

Tip #2: Ensure role-specific onboarding processes exist for different positions. 

First, when onboarding contingent staff, it is important to differentiate their role from all necessary angles. For example, the information and skills needed for a contract worker in one department would vary from another, which would both vary from a full-time position. The easiest way to master this step and implement it into your onboarding process is by creating numerous checklists for each and every position based on context and direction. In doing so, candidates can better understand their roles while wasting no time learning information that does not pertain to them.   

Tip #3: Set clear expectations in relation to company culture and values. 

While laying out what is expected from the candidate may seem obvious, sometimes this step is overlooked when it comes to contingent staff. Understanding what their role entails is only part of the goal; the candidates should understand where they fit into the company as a whole and if there is room to grow. Highlighting the company culture and structure not only provides insight and unification, but also incentive to potentially join the team long-term.   

Tip #4: Promote communication throughout the entire onboarding process. 

As previously mentioned, a growing number of today’s workers are remote. It can be extremely alienating to start a new job with no in-person interaction, which is why communication is so important. Brief check-ins the first few days, and later as needed, can help foster a culture of open communication and demonstrate the company’s commitment. Effective communication can help ensure contingent staff feel like a valued asset to the team, easing assimilation and enhancing collaborative and cohesive work.   

Tip #5: Remember that technology and external resources exist to help you. 

The fifth and final step, embracing technology, is critical in streamlining the onboarding process. Onboarding can be overwhelming for those involved, but with technology and collaborative efforts, the process is more efficient. Technology in the onboarding process works to amplify engagement, ease the transition, and improve tools and metrics.     If you have any questions about staffing and the onboarding process, contact us today.

As companies continue to evolve, so does the criteria needed to be an efficient employee. Specifically, consumer product companies have had to adapt to COVID-19 and emerging digital marketplaces as well as changing consumer demands. Because of this, trends in consumer products talent are changing. Employees with extensive data analytic experience who can assess consumer behaviors will be needed. Digital strategists who understand how to navigate eCommerce, DTC spaces, and marketing will be in high demand. Individuals with knowledge of supply chain, experience in manufacturing, fluctuating supply and demand will also be essential to business success.    

Digital Strategists  

Digital strategists who can effectively direct the eCommerce and DTC (direct to consumer) marketplace are in high demand. The U.S. spent $431.6 billion in online sales in 2020, and it’s predicted that eCommerce sales will continue to grow at a healthy clip, reaching 23.6% of total retail sales by 2025 versus 11.0% in 2019. Consumer products continue to be sold on online sites such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and countless others. Expertise in the utilization of eCommerce and online sites will be critical to companies maximizing profit margins.   Amid intense competition and ever-increasing customer expectations, retailers and consumer products companies also need to evolve their delivery models—namely, in the direct-to-consumer (DTC) space—as the “at home” economy grows. The $100 billion U.S. DTC market is growing among American consumers, according to an analysis of around 21,000 brands. Per a 2022 Direct-to-Consumer Purchase Intent Index, 65% of consumers surveyed said they planned to buy from a direct-to-consumer brand in 2022, and less than 60% purchased an item from a DTC brand in 2021. Talent regarding how to get new customers and how to get the most out of current consumers will be needed to get the most out of companies' investments in DTC. Aptitude of concepts such as SEO (search engine optimization), opportunities for personalization, cross selling, upselling, and repeat purchase rates will be needed to drive revenue for consumer product companies.    

Supply Chain Experience  

With lingering economic effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and persisting issues with supply chain coordination, companies have had to put extra thought into how to enhance and optimize their own supply chains. Employees with considerable experience in supply chain management are a significant talent trend.   It is essential for employees to properly forecast their consumer needs to make sure they have an adequate supply for their consumer demands. This is known as demand forecasting. With the lingering effects of the pandemic still present, this is especially important. Employees need to be able to look at historical sales to inform future trends and better predict demand.   When considering supply chain, lead times and the time it takes for a product to go from the manufacturer to retailer or restaurant is a critical perspective to consider. Employees who understand the time it takes to place an order, the time it takes a vendor to process and ship the order, the time the materials are in transit, and the time it takes for their business to prepare the stock for sale are crucial.    

Data and Analytics 

Employees with robust experience in technological and analytical data will also be essential to consumer product companies. Businesses will need workers who can understand automated systems of record, survey instruments, and SAP (system applications and products in data processing). Employees who can run systems, implement code, and troubleshoot manufacturing processes are needed in consumer product businesses where millions of inventories are made per year.   Assessing the data collected from analytics is an essential skill to have as well. Important information about the company itself and consumers can be found in this. A complete inventory of the tools, technologies, and systems can be acquired. Employee assessments, consumer behaviors, and anticipated demand can be efficiently predicted with the proper implementation of analytics.  Knowledge of SAP (system applications and products) is also in increasing demand. SAP is essential for many businesses to control sales, production, logistics, human resources, marketing, and analytics. SAP can boost your organization's efficiency and productivity by automating repetitive tasks, making better use of your time, money and resources. Having an employee proficient in the use of SAP will be tremendously beneficial to an organization.    

Moving Forward 

BCTG’s team of IT staffing experts bring decades of experience to each engagement. We value true partnership and think of ourselves as an extension of your team to ensure that each interaction serves not just your immediate needs but your long-term business objectives. As the consumer product market continues to evolve, so does the talent needed to understand these current trends. Bull City can help your company identify these changes and find the talent needed to address them.  
With the ongoing labor crisis and talent shortage, companies should prioritize optimizing cost-efficient and productive staff now more than ever. You may ask yourself: Why consider full-time staffing? Or, why consider contingent staffing? Optimizing staffing efforts means assessing your business needs to determine when to hire full time versus contingent staff.   Contingent workers can be freelancers, independent contractors, and consultants that temporarily supplement a company's workforce. Although hiring full-time employees can be beneficial for fulfilling long-term goals, many businesses are looking for flexibility and specialized skills when solving short-term problems. One report shows that 80% of large U.S. corporations plan to increase their use of a flexible workforce in the future. Furthermore, 62% of enterprises reported that contingent staff are a vital component of their overall workforce. As businesses face new challenges every day, learning how to find the best staffing for your company’s needs can help with problem solving and productivity. 

 

Benefits of Contingent Staffing

 

Flexibility and Short-Term Goals

Depending on the needs of your company, contingent staffing can provide unique perspectives to an organization. In today's labor market, many companies are finding it increasingly difficult to find workers with critical and specific skill sets. Hiring a temporary worker can help fill the gaps within those deficiencies, especially in a project-by-project working environment. For example, this can look like hiring a consultant or contractor when tech projects become too advanced for in-house skills. With today's rapidly changing economy, businesses will need to assess their progress as market conditions change and companies grow. Temporary staffing allows that flexibility to help companies as their needs change and new projects come along.    

Cost Savings

A recent study found that the cost of hiring full-time over contract workers in IT was much more expensive and that it is estimated that typical mid-level employees require 6 months to reach their breakeven point. Contracting a temporary worker for a project means only paying them for as long as they are needed, and they do not receive typical full-time benefits – such as health care, paid leave, or pension contributions – which can add up to quite an expense. Your company can also save money by avoiding costs associated with internal training. If skills are only needed for the immediate short-term, a contact worker is the ideal route to take with limited costs and risks.   

Quicker Hires 

Contingent staffing can also streamline a seamless hiring process. Hiring full-time and contract workers can be a difficult and complicated process, from an extensive interview and recruitment process to onboarding and training. With contingent staffing, the best contractors will be credible and distinctive within their skillsets and are often readily available, cutting interview time costs by over 50%. Along with an easier hiring process, contractors can be used as a trial run for a potential full-time hire. Hiring employees on a temporary basis allows companies to see if they will be successful with the company in the long term. This can mitigate the risk of hiring a potentially poorly performing employee.  

 

Looking Forward 

Choosing between full-time versus contingent staffing comes down to doing what is best for your company. As the business world becomes increasingly fast paced, contingent staff could open a new door for your business. When looking into recruitment and hiring processes, consider the overarching needs of your company and the most cost-effective and strategic way of approaching them. 
Our job at BCTG is to simplify your talent search and provide you with an IT Staffing and Recruiting solution to support your business initiatives. Contact us today to learn more.
Finding qualified talent in today’s job market remains challenging for many small and large companies alike. A recent study shows that seven in ten employers worldwide struggle to hire skilled workers in high-demand sectors, including IT, sales, marketing, manufacturing and production, and operations and logistics. One simple solution is to optimize outcomes with your staffing agency. Sourcing candidates, screening resumes, and negotiating salaries can all take time and energy away from a business owner’s existing obligations, which may end up hurting the business in the long run. Utilizing the expertise and efficiency of a staffing agency will optimize results in a job search as they handle most front-end recruiting processes, allowing in-house employees to focus on higher-return ventures for your business.  

 

How can businesses benefit from using a staffing agency to optimize their business goals?  

A staffing agency acts as a middleman between employers and workers, helping to match qualified candidates with companies that have current job openings. In 2021, recruiters laid out their five biggest priorities in the hiring process: improving quality of hire (52%), increasing retention rate (24%), improving time-to-hire (23%), growing talent pipeline (22%), and diversity hiring (22%). Using a staffing agency can help to efficiently prioritize these goals and improve outcomes over the course of the recruitment and hiring journey.   

It saves money and time. 

Technical staffing agencies help find qualified workers while saving employers time and money so they can focus on other business aspects. Sometimes employers looking for resumes may have projects that require a specialist, or someone with certain expertise. An agency can set an employer up with a skilled staffing expert and save them time by evaluating hundreds of resumes, checking references, and taking calls from candidates who may or may not be qualified.  Training new employees can also require a significant allocation of resources. When searching for a temporary position to cover a few months’ worth of work, it may be unreasonable to invest money and time in training them. By using a temporary staffing agency an employer is provided with someone capable and ready to do the work they need. 

 

It widens the pool of qualified candidates. 

One of the greatest benefits of staffing agencies is their access to an enormous and ever-growing pool of candidates. A high-quality staffing agency spends years building up their talent network of top-tier talent through referrals, networking, and speaking with candidates daily, whereas an employer usually doesn’t have the resources to constantly engage talent at the same level.   Staffing agencies may have access to candidates who are outside of your search area or ones who sought a staffing agency to find the exact job you seek to fill. With more access to talent in your industry, you can find the right people to help your organization grow. 

 

It matches experience and expertise. 

Headhunters in a professional staffing agency have experience working with clients of various sizes and industries. After interacting with a large volume and wide variety of both clients and candidates, they have undoubtedly gained insights that can be a valuable tool for forming your hiring strategy to help you identify and achieve your strategic workforce goals. 

 

How to optimize outcomes with your staffing agency

 

Provide context of your organization. 

Communicate your business’s personality, culture, and brand. Give them a clear idea of what kind of employee will fit in well with your business. Provide details about the work environment, benefits package, and what makes your company unique.   

Clearly define needs. 

Share job descriptions, desired qualifications, preferred paid, possible short- and long-term openings as well as production/staffing statistics.    

Offer feedback. 

By engaging in an ongoing and honest dialogue with the staffing agency, each of your companies will be able to form the most productive relationship. It is important to maintain an open line of communication and give prompt feedback to the recruiter on candidates and whether they are a fit for the job or missed the mark.   

Understand the job market. 

Discuss the employment market with your agency so you can realistically determine what kinds of candidates you can expect to find within your budget. If necessary, talk through different ways to adjust the job expectations. For example, if you require a lengthy skill set, you may want to consider including some on-the-job training instead of expecting the full package ready for hire.

The tech industry continues to adjust to changes in the workplace, and the growing need for IT talent, labor shortages, and rising wages continues to create harsh competition in the industry. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, IT salaries in the United States increased 3.6% to reach over $97,000 by 2020. As a result of these conditions, businesses are struggling to adopt emerging technologies and stay on top of industry trends. Businesses need to look for new ways to source talent, while showing prospective employees how they can thrive within the company.  

Ways to Attract IT Talent

 

Widen the Search Pool

In January 2022, nearly 340,000 IT job openings across industries remained unfulfilled. Altering job requirements or criteria and widening the search pool outside of traditional candidates with bachelor’s degrees will help to attract more diverse IT talent. Meeting the talent where they are, for example, covers more geographic areas, increases diversity, and enhances complexities for the business. Similarly, opening the position up to short-term staffing candidates and catering to remote workers by offering flexible working conditions amplifies desirability. Most notably, identifying alternative and non-traditional talent can work to alleviate some pressure due to talent shortages. STAR (Skilled Through Alternative Routes) and NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) candidates, for example, can give the business a competitive advantage. As opposed to solely relying on traditional college graduates, this approach provides the business with access to greater opportunities, as most of these candidates already possess much of the soft and hard skills required.  

Provide Training Opportunities

Presenting candidates with opportunities for training enhances employee growth alongside the continuous innovation seen in the tech industry. Training opportunities, like coding bootcamps, work to upskill talent, broaden skill sets, and cultivate new talent. These programs can be catered toward company needs as well, guaranteeing that prospective employees are well-equipped for particular positions within the tech industry. Training opportunities are especially beneficial for STAR and NEET talent, as they are both faster and less expensive than returning to school.  

Invest in Partnerships

Along with training opportunities, investing in partnerships is an effective way to expand skills and capabilities within the company. Collaborating with outside organizations, such as with coding bootcamps, presents businesses with curated and data-driven results. These partnerships can include sponsoring talent inside or outside the company through coding bootcamp courses, with the potential to hire talent after “graduation." Another way to partner with a tech training resource like a coding bootcamp is to arrange for their trainers to conduct internal professional development training for current team members. Internal training improves team capabilities to take on new projects, and has proven to increase retention among staff eager to take on more challenging roles.  

Looking Past IT Talent Shortages

The increasing need for talent, in the face of growing labor shortages and rising wages, creates intense competition in the tech industry. In order to combat these challenges, businesses must expand the search pool and look outside of traditional candidates, and also partner with organizations to provide training opportunities to help current and prospective candidates develop in-demand, job-specific skills. Alternative recruiting methods are here to stay, along with an emphasis on internal mobility, and intentional collaboration with outside organizations can help build resilient workforces and upskill talent in the tech industry.

Businesses across the world continue to face talent and labor shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies within the tech industry are no different. These shortages, combined with changes to the “normal” workplace environment, have resulted in many companies rethinking and assessing their current and future challenges, opportunities, and priorities within their IT departments.  In late 2021, Clarkston Consulting conducted a CIO Market Study, aiming to better understand the current priorities and challenges of upper or C-Suite level IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies ($350M+ revenue) in the retail, CPG, manufacturing, or life science industries.   

Key Takeaways

 

SAP is here to stay. 

Businesses across industries continue to utilize SAP solutions to increase effectiveness, boost competitive standing, and achieve success. Clarkston Consulting’s CIO Survey found that about half of respondents (47%) noted using SAP in their business over other ERP systems like Microsoft and Oracle. SAP maintains its position as the top ERP solution provider, therefore, understanding how to leverage SAP in your workforce is of growing importance.    

Managed IT services are the most often outsourced activity. 

When comparing outsourced activity, 67% of respondents noted outsourcing managed IT services the most, alongside cloud services (63%) and cybersecurity/compliance (57%). Notably, respondents also identified trust as the most important factor in choosing outsourcing partners, followed by expected value, total cost, and expertise. As businesses seek partners like BCTG for their IT services, it is in the service partner’s hands to stand out from competitors and secure the partnership.   

A healthy work environment matters. 

When addressing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, respondents found that IT departments allowed more remote work options. Additionally, none of the respondents expect remote work opportunities to return to “normal,” referring to pre-pandemic times. This emphasis on remote work maintains its prevalence, and businesses should provide opportunities that cater to remote workers.  Another large impact of the pandemic relates to mental health and well-being. Two-thirds of respondents have invested in programs to address the mental health and well-being needs of their team as well, with 80% being newly enacted programs. More importantly, almost all respondents (96%) indicated their company promotes a healthy work environment to some extent. Whether hiring full-time or contingent staff, providing remote opportunities and promoting a healthy work environment is essential in today’s workplace.   

CIO Survey Results

The results of this survey provide a detailed view of many of the challenges that IT departments across the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries continue to face, particularly as they navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace.

Reference checks are designed to dig deeper and help you learn more about your desired candidate. They act as a form of verification or reassurance when you are seriously considering a candidate for a selected position. In contacting a candidate’s references, you are verifying their credentials as well as their character, working style, and relevant experience. Effectively performing reference checks for candidates helps ensure that the hiring process goes smoothly and that the candidate is a good fit for the position.   

What To Do When Performing Reference Checks 

Let the candidates know beforehand that you are planning to perform a reference check, and then get their consent. Make it clear in the job posting that references are required when applying and give the candidates time to prepare. Typically, each candidate should provide three to four professional references that they have worked with in the past five or so years. Once you have narrowed down your candidate pool during the interviewing process, let all candidates know that you will be contacting their references before moving forward.  Next, remember the purpose behind reference checks. Set a clear objective and be intentional. What do you want to find out? Ask the references job-related questions to learn more about the candidate's character, skillset, and work ethic. This not only helps you learn more about the candidate, but it also helps verify any information the candidate shared with you on their resume or during their interview. Above all, never ask about a candidate’s personal life. It is not necessary to know this information as it could create bias, and it puts the reference in an uncomfortable position.  Finally, look for inconsistencies. The purpose of reference checking is to ensure the candidate is suited for the position, so make sure everything the candidate said on their resume and in their interview lines up with what their references say. Most importantly, be transparent with the reference and make sure they know what they say is confidential.    

Finding The Right Fit 

The main purpose behind reference checking candidates is to ensure that the candidate is well-suited for the position for which they are applying. References can help highlight a candidate's skills, work ethic, and overall character to validate whether they will be a good fit for the role. Selecting the best candidate for a position is increasingly important in today’s work environment, as each employee contributes to the overarching business goals and company culture.

Staff augmentation is increasingly common in today's workplace, especially given the current IT talent shortage. Start-ups, in particular, need to consolidate resources, time, and money; as such, staff augmentation is an ideal option to do just that. Outsourcing IT talent is easier and stress-free than bringing on full-time employees, and it leaves more time for start-ups to focus on their business goals.   

Benefits 

 

Cost Effective and Flexible  

IT staff augmentation saves businesses a hefty amount of money compared to hiring full-time staff. Start-ups typically have less money than long-running businesses, so remaining frugal with spending is important. With staff augmentation, no cost is wasted on recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, or any other benefits traditionally offered to employees. Moreover, augmented staff is much more flexible in terms of hours and pay. While the business' involvement and control remain the same as with a full-time employee, you only pay for the services you need, when you need them.  

 

Tailored to Specific Needs 

Arguably, the most notable benefit of augmented staff is that these individuals can fill any skill gap. Staff augmentation provides direct access to the best talent with the exact expertise and experience you’re seeking. These individuals are trained and ready-to-go, specialized for the specific project you are looking to complete. Whether it is a short-term project or skill-specific task, augmented staff exists to meet these needs by widening the talent pool on a global scale. 

 

Faster Turnaround 

When augmenting staff, you are hiring specialized individuals to complete whatever task or project you brought them on to do. As experts, these individuals are productive and efficient. It is time-effective while removing any burden that comes with having to recruit, train, or upskill any current employee to complete the needed task.    

Consider Staff Augmentation for Your Start-Up 

As a start-up, you should avoid wasting resources, time, and money at all costs. Jumpstarting your business requires hard work and focus from all individuals involved, so outsourcing any needed IT talent to streamline growth is essential. IT staff augmentation can boost your start-up while allowing you to focus on your business goals and achieve success. To learn more about IT staff augmentation, contact our team at BCTG and we can help you find the right experts for your project.  
It’s important for recruiters to holistically evaluate prospective job candidates. They need to discern personality, experience, and skills to ensure that an individual is the best fit for a role. Recruiters need to come prepared for interviews so that they can properly and fairly make judgments. This begins with the right set of questions to ask your candidate.  Below, we outline six excellent questions to ask your job candidates during the interview process.   

Tell me about yourself. 

This question is a great starter for any interview. By being open-ended, it allows candidates to take any direction they want and tailor their response to the role. For example, a position in healthcare may lead individuals to speak about their desire to help others while a role in accounting instigates a response about technical knowledge and certifications.  Regardless of the direction taken, recruiters can expect this question to get the interview rolling. It should provide an overview of a candidate’s work experience, competencies, and what is important to them.   

What is your biggest accomplishment? 

Asking a candidate about their biggest accomplishment allows them to provide details beyond what is on their resume. Their answer will reflect what they value most and may not even be their best achievement on paper. For example, a candidate may have brokered a million-dollar deal, but instead chooses to speak about saving their local forest. Recruiters can thus discern more about an individual’s personality and potential fit for a role.  Whatever their response may be, recruiters will be able to understand the broader picture of a significant achievement. A resume may be limited to one or two lines, but a candidate can talk about the larger lessons learned from the event.   

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 

This question serves to evaluate a candidate’s goals and long-term ambitions. By understanding where they hope to be, a recruiter can determine whether the candidate will be successful in the position for which they are applying. For example, if a candidate views themselves as working in a different industry, they may not be the best fit because they expect their tenure to be short. Conversely, an individual that views themselves working up to leadership roles within the same company demonstrates longevity and a desire to grow.  Significantly, recruiters can also use the question to discern a candidate’s motivations. This is important in understanding how the individual may perform in the role.   

Tell me about a problem you’ve encountered at work and how you solved it. 

Allowing candidates to talk about failure or conflict in the workplace is an excellent gateway question. Recruiters can discern how a person handles difficulty and whether they use the situation to grow.  The best responses involve an explanation detailing how they addressed and overcame the issue. Subsequently, recruiters can understand whether the candidate would appropriately respond to a problem if given the job.  The open-ended nature of this question also allows candidates to choose any direction that they want. They may highlight difficulties with deadlines, coworkers, or skill deficiencies. The importance of their answer is subjective to the role. For example, a job that requires teamwork may not be the best fit for a candidate who details trouble working with colleagues.    

What type of projects do you enjoy working on? 

This question allows recruiters to understand factors that are important to the candidate. Based on a response, a recruiter may be able to discern whether a person prefers work that is individual or team-based, creative or straightforward, autonomous or supervised, and a host of others. This is important for roles that may require certain preferences or skill sets.    

How would your friends describe you? 

This question is a broad and subjective gateway to understanding the candidate’s personality and character. Their response can indicate both how they view themselves and how they aspire to be. This is important for discerning company and cultural fit.   While most people wouldn’t give an answer that portrays them negatively, the traits that they provide may not be best for the role in question. For example, someone who describes themselves as careful and meticulous may not be well-served in a high pace position.   

Wrapping Up 

Ultimately, the type of questions that a recruiter asks are subjective to the role. They allow the best candidates to be chosen for a role’s culture, necessary technical and soft skills, and problem-solving expertise. These six questions are simply guidelines to help get an advantage on filling an open position with the perfect candidate.

When searching for candidates in today’s IT landscape, there are some must-have IT certifications to look for with your potential hires. Even with the continued talent shortage, it is important to ensure that candidates are well-qualified for the position for which they are applying. While soft skills are increasingly important, so are hard skills in a field like IT with new, advanced technologies emerging daily.   Below, we list and briefly describe the top eight must-have certifications.

With companies starting to focus on college recruiting for the fall, it is imperative that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE+I) embody the brand and stand at the forefront of strategy. Unconscious bias tends to exist in most companies, halting growth potential. By fighting bias and welcoming DE+I, companies will strengthen their reputation and expand their skill sets and qualities. By leveling the playing field and providing each applicant with equitable opportunities and resources, and mitigating bias, brands can focus on the individuals’ skills and the jobs’ requirements.  

Understanding Your Audiences

When it comes to supporting a culture of DE+I in recruiting, numerous HR technologies have emerged to aid in the process. By reducing hiring bias at various stages – whether sourcing, marketing, interviewing, or interview debriefs –  DE+I will become part of the company’s brand. Understanding and embracing DE+I requires effort at all levels of the organization, from top to bottom. DE+I technologies can not only aid in talent acquisition but also in development and retention as brands manage and track key analytics.  

Creating an Effective Strategy for DE+I in Recruiting Processes

While effectively incorporating DE+I into brand culture takes time and effort, it is essential for success. As companies start thinking about enhancing DE+I in their workplace, several steps can be taken by starting with recruiting and the overall company culture. Listed below are some helpful practices:  

Leverage Technology to Diminish Bias

As previously mentioned, unconscious bias plays a massive role in hindering efforts to improve DE+I in recruiting. With the help of HR technologies, such as Human Resource Information Systems and ethical artificial intelligence platforms, brands can remove bias across multiple levels of the organization to provide more candidates with fair opportunities.  

Track, Measure, and Analyze

By managing and collecting DE&I-related data, companies can measure, analyze, and truly comprehend their progress. In doing so, companies can continue to improve their efforts by focusing on their concerns and increasing accountability and transparency. These metrics could include sourcing, outreach, candidate, performance evaluation, recruiting events, and location data, all of which can help provide equitable insights into your recruiting efforts and outputs.  

Provide Opportunities for Growth

Sharing opportunities with employees and promoting internal recruiting is a crucial part of the DE+I process. Individuals want to join a brand that provides room for growth and development, and by allowing this possibility, DE+I will seep into all levels of the organization, and retention will see massive growth. Think about where you share new opportunities internally, leverage employee resource groups (ERGs), internal nominations, and collaboration platforms (such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Yammer) to share opportunities.  

Maintain Diversity at All Levels

From recruiters and interviewers to decision-making and executives, nurturing diversity throughout the organization is essential. Think about both inherent traits (such as race, age, and gender) and acquired traits (like religion and geographics); consistency in DE+I efforts will help foster growth and understanding throughout the company.  

Make DE+I Part of the Company Culture

The most important step to take in DE+I in recruiting is making it part of the company culture. Diversity, equity, and inclusion should not be siloed in an organization, or topics that are discussed after an incident; instead, it should be commonplace for an organization and its employees to reinforce an inclusive and equitable mindset. By providing employees with surveys, training, and an overall sense of belonging, DE+I efforts will go beyond the surface and prove to be part of the brand’s core. Creating a diverse and inclusive organization is critical for growth and success, providing companies with the upper hand against competitors. While appreciating differing perspectives, skill sets, and qualities, brands must build awareness and understanding within the organization, manage actions throughout the decision-making process, and focus on overall accountability and transparency. Whether it be through people analytics or training and talent development, experts at BCTG can help instill DE&I into your recruiting and hiring processes.

Regardless of the industry or job title, there is an extremely high likelihood that during the interview process, you will need to know how to answer this question: “why do you want to work here?” There are a few ways to master your answer to this question, but the first step is simple: come prepared. Do your research on the company before your interview and practice some potential responses. The company is looking for a candidate that truly wants to work there, so be honest and genuine in your responses. You need to demonstrate your interest and enthusiasm for the role while also showcasing the value, experience, and expertise that you can bring to the company.    

What Not to Do 

It can be very easy for candidates to take the wrong approach to this question. Some may see this as a trick question, but here is one note to keep in mind: do not make your response about how the company can help you; your response should always be about how you can help the company. Responses like, “I’m desperate;” “I just need a job, and this was open;” “This seems easy;” or “I’m just looking for a job until something better comes along” are never a good answer. Your response to this question should always reflect your interest in the company or position, how your skills and experience are applicable to the role, and how you would be able to make a positive impact on or within the company.    

Formulating the Best Answer 

First off, do your homework. Your answer may depend on the position and company for which you are applying. Once you have a holistic understanding of the position and company, narrow down what you bring to the table that will benefit them, rather than vice versa. How can your knowledge and experience help the company succeed and grow? Use examples from previous jobs in which you sparked growth or contributed to a success of some sorts. For example, when applying for an SAP Analyst Role at a Staffing Agency, you may say, “I believe my interest in collaboration and my past experience in SAP Fiori and SAP ABAP align well with your company’s current needs and values.” This is your chance to subtly highlight your own skills and expertise to prove why you are the right person for the job and company. Hiring managers want to ensure that candidates are well-suited and excited for the position and will mesh well within the company culture.    

Conclusion 

At the end of the day, how to answer “why do you want to work here?” varies from candidate to candidate. You are going to be asked several questions, and your answers should be honest and reflect your past experiences and current skillset. Research the position and company, remember what you bring to the table, and be confident in your response.

Finding the right candidate is vital for any position. But when filling a role for an SAP position, it’s essential that the candidate is qualified, as their role contributes to the holistic view of the company. The ideal candidate should have experience and expertise in the SAP system, along with programming, project management, problem-solving, and more. It can be easy to narrow down candidates based on their résumés, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. What you ask your SAP candidates during the interview process can help you, as a hiring manager, gain a deeper understanding of the candidate's hard and soft skills alike.   Below, we outline a handful of questions to ask prospective SAP candidates during the interview process.   

Questions to Ask

 

What is your background in SAP? 

Any candidate applying for an SAP position should be well-versed in all things SAP. What do they know? What was their training like? Are they adaptable and eager to learn new systems? Candidates should have the skills and understanding needed for the role, and how they got there can tell you a lot too. This open-ended question also provides you with the opportunity to learn more about the kinds of SAP projects the candidates have worked on previously.   

Tell me about the different SAP products and tools. 

This question helps dive further into the candidate's knowledge of SAP. Do they know the difference between SAP systems like SAP Fiori and SAP CRM or SAP ABAP and SAP BI? Depending on the position for which they are applying, hiring managers may be seeking a candidate who can work in various areas. This is your chance to test their knowledge and expertise across SAP functions.   

Do you have experience with machine learning and AI? 

Machine learning and AI continue to be integrated into SAP and data systems. With that being said, it is important that candidates understand these systems as they are becoming increasingly sophisticated and pronounced. Working in an SAP position will require knowledge outside of SAP, so ensuring that the candidate is well-versed in different data systems is crucial.   

Tell me about a successful SAP implementation that you have worked on. 

Asking a candidate to describe a successful SAP implementation can provide much-needed insight into their experience, work ethic, and even character. First, have they and can they do it? This question gives the candidate the opportunity to describe a previous project that they worked on and gives you a chance to analyze their methods. How did they approach it? How did they solve it? How did they communicate with others throughout the project? This also allows candidates to boast about their greatest skills or accomplishments in a project.   

How have you handled conflict with a coworker or client? 

Conflict resolution is a key skill for any candidate to possess, especially in the SAP realm. Any appropriate candidate well-suited for the job should be a good problem-solver and communicator. They must be able to find a compromise, while not only fulfilling but exceeding expectations.   

Final Thoughts 

What you should be asking your SAP candidates may depend on the specific position for which they are applying. But, regardless, these questions are the perfect steppingstones for understanding how compatible a candidate is for the job based on their skills, experiences, work ethic, and character.

Within today’s working landscape, there are both pros and cons to being a contingent worker. From the employer point-of-view, contingent workers are cheaper, faster, and more flexible than full-time staff. Actually being a contingent worker yourself, though, provides different advantages and disadvantages. Contingent work allows for independence, but it also means constant change and little to no commitment.   Below, we outline a few pros and cons of being a contingent worker.   

Pros 

Taking up work on a contingent basis definitely has its benefits. First and foremost, it helps fill gaps in your employment history and acts as a reliable source of income while you search for the perfect full-time job. Above all, contingent work exposes you to different experiences. These positions may be in a new field that will help expand your knowledge, skillset, portfolio, and overall network.  For individuals simply looking for work here and there, contingent staffing means flexibility and low commitment. You choose when you want to work based on the projects that come in, and once the project is finished, you are free to move onto your next venture. On the other hand, if you are looking for a full-time position, most companies offer temp-to-permanent hire routes. This way, candidates can build their skills before joining the team officially and full-time.   

Cons 

With pros almost always come cons. Contingent work essentially means temporary, so you will rarely receive benefits from the company that hires you for the project. This also means less income than a full-time position. With a lower income and little to no benefits, there is not as much stability and security in your job as with a full-time one.   As a contingent worker, your role is on a fixed and time-limited schedule, and you might not experience the traditional experience of a full-time, permanent employee. As such, you may feel isolated from the company and its culture. For employees who are looking to feel more immersed in the company and its culture, contingent work may not be able to offer the level of inclusivity or belonging that you seek.    

Weighing Your Options 

Deciding whether to pursue contingent work is entirely up to you. What is it that you are looking for? What do you want to get out of it? If you are looking for independence and flexibility, contingent work is for you. On the contrary, if you are looking for job security and benefits, consider a full-time position instead. Regardless of your preference, make sure you take time to consider the pros and cons of being a contingent worker vs. a full-time employee.  If you are interested in pursuing or learning more about contingent work, contact BCTG today.

A cover letter is your first chance to make a good first impression and show hiring managers why you stand out above other candidates. While this is an opportunity to show your personality and character, keep it concise. Cover letters should be short, formal, and thoughtful, and make sure your structure, grammar, and spelling are perfect. Above all, maintain focus and remember your intent; what you write will vary depending on the position, industry, or even company for which you are applying.    

Showcasing Your Strengths  

Hiring managers receive an influx of cover letters, so how can you make yours stand out? Draw them in fast. Start your cover letter off with a great hook and connect yourself with the reader. Next, focus on keywords. What words were used in the job description and how can you apply them to your experiences? Be intentional to not simply restate your résumé; rather, showcase your strengths, provide examples, and briefly speak to why your previous experience makes you the best candidate for the job. Most importantly, be honest and genuine – after all, this is your chance to make a good first impression before ever speaking face-to-face with the hiring manager or team.   

The Process of Writing an Effective Cover Letter

A good rule of thumb is to think of cover letters in the rule of thirds – spend 1/3 of your time planning, 1/3 of your time writing, and 1/3 of your time editing. Before planning, though, a promising first step is to look at samples. Seeing how others approach their cover letters can be eye-opening and inspiring, but remember, your cover letter should be your own, reflecting your strengths, personality, skills, and experience.    

Planning 

The first step is to plan. Establish your audience and reason for writing. What message are you trying to convey? What skills and experiences do you want to highlight? You will want to grab the reader’s attention in the first line. In planning, you also want to analyze yourself. What are your strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for growth? This will show the hiring manager that you are self-aware.   

Writing 

Next, use what you laid out in the planning stage to further develop your ideas. The strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for growth that you found will help you identify key points you want to make. In doing so, refer to specific positions in which these skills were used. Include any special projects and accomplishments that you are most proud of that may relate to the position for which you are applying. Hammer in your main point – why you are the right fit for the position and why you want to work for them. Sum up your strengths and how you are well-suited for the role. And, of course, be sure to thank the hiring manager for their time and consideration.   

Editing 

Finally, edit. Check for spelling, grammar, and typos. Then, read it aloud. The best way to decipher how your cover letter comes off is by reading it aloud. Does it sound funky or disingenuous? Am I missing something? Is my main point clear? Take a step back or have a friend look before making any drastic changes. Once you feel it is ready, compare your letter to the job description (and its keywords) before sending out the final version.    

Final Takeaways 

When writing an effective cover letter, be positive and natural, specific and persuasive, honest and polite, and, most importantly, confident. Divide your time evenly between the planning, writing, and editing stages. Make a good first impression and draw the reader in quickly. Be personable, show character, remember your intent, and be thoughtful in your execution. A well-thought-out and well-written cover letter will help you stand out among fellow candidates and make a strong first impression on the hiring team.  
When onboarding remote employees, hiring managers must alter their approach and cater to the virtual environment. Individuals who work from home lack the in-person interaction and office support that they would gain from working in an office setting, so it is vital that hiring managers take the necessary steps to ensure a seamless integration virtually. Remote employees should feel accepted and comfortable from day one and having an effective onboarding process is the first step. After all, the onboarding process is all about welcoming the candidate into their new role and the company as a whole.    Below, we outline how to onboard remote employees in the most efficient and effective way.   

Ensure all individuals, documents, and technologies are ready. 

Before onboarding begins, it is important that all parties are prepared. On the human resources (HR) side, make sure all documents, presentations, forms, etc. are complete. Has the employee submitted all the necessary documents? Are the onboarding presentations and sessions finalized? Does the employee have all the information they need before their first day? The list goes on, but most importantly, does the employee have their technology set up and ready for use?   For remote employees, technological struggles can, and do, contribute to a lot of stress. To avoid any hiccups, have IT reach out to each new hire to help set up their technology and any additional resources (applications, platforms, software, etc.) prior to their start date. Not only will this minimize stress and any technical issues, but it will increase their level of confidence and comfort as they enter their new role.    

Set clear expectations. 

Whether a new hire is working in-person or remotely, expectations should be clear from the start. The individual should have a solid understanding of their responsibilities and how their work will impact the overarching company goals. Onboarding is the company's chance to lay a foundation for success, regardless of how the individual’s role may evolve over time. Along with setting expectations, new employees should understand how they can manage these expectations as well.   While manager and employee relationships vary, check-ins are especially important for remote employees. Taking a hands-on versus hands-off approach will depend on the individual and what management style will help them perform best. Are they independent or do they need constant check-ins for guidance and motivation? Are they traditionally independent but appreciate checkpoints for reassurance when working from home? Managing expectations ultimately boils down to what is best for each individual employee, and the sooner the expectations are set and supervised, the better.    

Create a sense of belonging and provide room for growth. 

One of the most important aspects of the onboarding process is laying out the company’s culture, mission, and values. Most companies pride themselves on being tight-knit and supportive, and the ways in which a company welcomes a new hire can either support or discredit this claim. Remote workers, in particular, lack the organic, in-person relationship building that comes with going into the office. To ease the transition, ask existing team members to reach out to new hires and introduce themselves or even set up a virtual welcome-to-the-team meeting.  Additionally, advocate for open conversations and networking. This will help new hires meet and mesh with others in the organization. Encouraging new and existing employees alike to engage in formal and informal conversations with colleagues will increase their community involvement while building their network.   

Foster internal communication and collaboration through community groups. 

In any industry, organization, or position, communication is key. Communication and collaboration help create a sense of community, which is especially important to keep remote workers connected and engaged. When onboarding employees, it is best to create a cohort; onboarding a larger group at once will not only save the company time and money, but it will create a unified group of employees. Being a new hire can be overwhelming, but approaching the situation with another new hire, or several new hires, may help ease any anxieties.   Furthermore, arrange different channels of communication for these individuals. Whether that be on Slack or Teams, providing new hires with an outlet for friendly conversation, questions, and more will foster a sense of community. For example, there could be a channel for all individuals that began onboarding on the same day, a channel for all remote employees on the East coast, a channel for all employees working on specific projects, and so on. Having community groups for remote hires will not only help with the transition into their new role, but it will help them feel connected to and seen by other individuals in the company.   

Encourage and welcome feedback. 

Hiring managers should always ask for feedback throughout the onboarding process. Everyone learns differently, especially in a virtual setting, so understanding how to cater to different learning types can take time. New discrepancies may, and most likely will, arise now that remote onboarding is becoming a staple across companies. A new hire’s experience entering their role should be memorable and exciting, but also comforting and welcoming.

The tech job market has made a rapid recovery post-pandemic seeing over 43,200 jobs added from March to May 2022. As job growth exceeds even pre-pandemic levels, firms are struggling to find qualified individuals to fill their IT roles. With 115,000 current job postings across the United States and a median wage of 96,667 USD in early 2022, the industry is certainly lucrative for prospective candidates. The extensive tech staffing shortage and high wages provide candidates with a unique opportunity to advance their careers by learning new IT skills.

Below we outline some of the most in-demand tech skills for 2022.

 

Technical Skills

A developer’s foundation lies in their knowledge of various coding languages. As technologies change, it’s important to stay up to date with the most useful and relevant language to remain a leader in the industry.

 

JavaScript

JavaScript is currently the most widely used coding language in the world, with 69.7% of developers in a Stack survey attesting to frequent usage. JavaScript is an extremely important language for web development and can be used to add interactive behavior like animations or buttons to web pages. It can also be used to develop games, mobile apps, or other applications. Companies like PayPal, Walmart, Facebook, and Uber use JavaScript to power their online presence and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

 

Python

Python is another popular language. Its simplicity and versatility give it a wide range of uses, including AI and machine learning, data analytics, web development, and SEO. While it is simple to add Python to a developer’s toolkit, it is not something to be overlooked, as over 50% of hiring managers are seeking candidates with these skills. Python’s easy transfer to innovative technologies makes it a hot language to know while protecting its ubiquity in our age of rapid advancements.

 

HTML

Standing just behind JavaScript in terms of developer usage, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is another coding language to have in your back pocket. HTML allows web pages to display proper formatting of text and images, helps with online navigation, and serves as an engine for game development. Due to its involvement in so many current technologies, HTML will remain a standard for the long haul and continue to evolve with the industry.

Investing time and resources into learning any of these three coding languages, JavaScript, Python, and HTML will be well worth it. They prepare individuals with much-needed skills to enter some of the most appealing sectors of IT in 2022, like cloud computing, machine learning, cybersecurity, and enterprise software. While learning a language does not necessitate expertise in specific roles like these, they certainly provide the knowledge base to train for any of them.

 

Soft Skills

In a post-pandemic world where many work environments are hybrid or fully remote, it is important for prospective hires to be able to connect and solve technical issues virtually. While it is obvious that an individual employed in IT should be proficient in technology, the necessity for soft skills extends beyond technical skills. Project management, delegation, and presentation abilities can make the difference in receiving a job offer, promotion, project success, or not. It is important for individuals to practice their interpersonal skills alongside their technical knowledge base. Working remotely or with someone who is miles away can be difficult, which is why these abilities are even more valuable to firms today.

Participating in a learning course that facilitates group environments, presentations, and project leadership training is vital to future success as both an individual and as a firm to upskill the talent of current employees.

 

Prioritizing Upskilling and Reskilling

The competition for top talent in the tech industry has been ramping up steadily post-pandemic. Firms need to recruit and retain new hires for a range of IT roles, and one of the best ways to do that is through upskilling and reskilling. Upskilling is the practice of training and developing current employees to improve their skillsets. Perhaps even more important than improving employees’ skills, upskilling increases retention rates. This is vital in a time when IT staffing is facing a shortage and replacing an employee can cost thousands of dollars. In a similar vein, reskilling is the process of learning new skills at a company to move into a different role. This can help companies fill employment gaps with existing employees while employees expand their skillsets. Firms can use corporate training services for both upskilling and reskilling to truly stay ahead of the competition in the tech sector.

 

Conclusion

Certain coding languages, like JavaScript, Python, and HTML, along with soft skills are hot in today’s tech market and hiring managers are willing to pay more for developers with expertise. Additionally, investing in software skills for individuals or firm initiatives will pay off and sharpen the edge against the competition.  Our team at BCTG is dedicated to helping experts find experts.

In a rapidly changing job market, optimizing your résumé to best demonstrate your skillset is important to capitalize on the SAP position you have been wanting. Since 58% of IT executives reported a plan to increase emerging technology investments, IT leaders will be searching for a growing team and the best tech talent. So, how can you upgrade your résumé to make yourself the perfect candidate for that open SAP position?    

Accomplishments and Experience 

Work experience is arguably one of the most important parts of your résumé. Highlighting your past experience shows the hiring manager that you possess the skills that are necessary to successfully fill this role. Showcasing your former prestigious achievements in SAP roles will distinguish you from your competitors as well. Especially with SAP, there are tons of projects and opportunities that allow you to gain familiarity with the systems, even if it’s not a foolproof implementation project, a little SAP exposure can take you a long way. Of course, applicants won’t always need experience that covers the exact scope of the job they are applying for; however, verification of prior SAP exposure and characteristics that will translate well into a new job will be a huge boost to the résumé. Be sure to include real metrics throughout your resume when speaking about previous projects or work – this will provide concrete evidence of what you have contributed – and can contribute – to a team.   

Skills and Certifications 

Although companies do value having soft skills, when applying for an SAP position, you are going to need technical experience and expertise. As such, it is important to include your analytical, computer, and project management skills.   Certifications serve as real-time evidence and proof that you are trained in certain softwares or applications and demonstrate your knowledge and credibility. There are more than 150 types of SAP certifications that can highlight your specific skillset. To those who do not have those certifications yet or are unsure where to find them, there are a multitude of resources from SAP with access to training and more – a great way to build your résumé for an SAP position.   If you do not have the exact experience that allows you to achieve those specific skills, do not panic. Interestingly enough, 40% of recruiters reported hiring technology candidates who don’t have formal qualifications in technology and programming. Instead, consider exposing yourself to supporting programs like Salesforce, Excel, Microsoft Office, and Oracle. This not only shows your ability to learn a new program, but it demonstrates your commitment to expanding your knowledge and skillset.    

Achieving Beyond the Résumé 

Ultimately, having all the certifications and experience in the world is not going to guarantee you’ll get the job. Hiring managers consider the candidate holistically, meaning, other traits like interpersonal communication skills and time management will matter. Employers want to know how you will react when thrown into a difficult situation or a quick change of plans. As an SAP candidate, you will be joining their team and representing their whole organization. As such, it is important to demonstrate your integrity to the employers through the interview process. To supplement that, add points to your résumé that speak to your character strengths, like other internal involvement or community engagement.    

Conclusion 

Learning how to enhance your résumé will be integral to achieving your ideal SAP position. As the tech job market grows exponentially with the adoption of innovative software and programs, companies will be looking for candidates familiar with the qualification for receiving a tech job. Making sure your résumé catches the eye of an SAP recruiter will ensure your success in reaching your tech career goals and open your options in the SAP world.

With the industry’s increasing demand for tech talent coupled with the labor shortage, making your company an attractive option for potential candidates is key. To achieve the technical dream team, companies will need to evaluate and optimize their internal practices and culture in order to stand out from their competitors. This includes understanding and prioritizing what candidates are looking for in today's job market and then implementing them into your recruitment strategy. Remember, a showy salary and prestigious name can only go so far, and a healthy work environment matters to candidates.      

Remote/Hybrid Work Environment 

Since the 2020 pandemic, the culture of physically coming into the office everyday has changed significantly. Candidates are now searching for flexibility and convenience when considering job opportunities. With remote working, employees can more easily balance their work, family, and recreational activity while also cutting out a potentially expensive and time-consuming commute. In fact, 83% of global respondents reported that the ability to work remotely was the deciding factor between two similar job offers. Offering remote work can also improve your candidate pool by considering talent in a much larger area, while simultaneously giving employees the freedom to live where they want.    

Opportunities For Growth 

While bringing in new impressive talent is major, showing those candidates that they value and promote the employee they already have is equally important. Internal mobility is not only a great retention tool but also an attractive recruitment strategy, as 87% of professionals reported career growth and developmental opportunities as important to them in a job. An effective internal mobility strategy shows that you value your employees’ professional career goals through concrete systems of internal growth and opportunity. This could look like a solid process of upskilling and reskilling your current employees. Furthermore, recruiting superstar talent is one challenge, but so is keeping them. Internal mobility can not only attract top talent but also is a great retention tool for keeping them long-term within your organization.    

Social Responsibility and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) 

Candidates are looking to work for ethical brands that are actively involved in improving the environment and society as a whole. As a matter of fact, according to research, 55% of professionals reported they would choose to work for a socially responsible company, even if the salary was less. With an increasing demand for companies' role in social and economic injustice, candidates are becoming more socially selective when considering a job opportunity, meaning improving internal DE&I structures and evaluating your company's environmental footprint is key. Candidates want to feel accepted, purpose-driven, and meaningful in their job positions, and a company with a commitment to social initiatives will provide that.    

Remembering the Typical Competitive Benefits  

One of your most important steps in creating an ideal position for candidates is having a competitive salary and benefits. While other company characteristics can persuade candidates when there are minimal salary differences, a competitive compensation is necessary to attract top talent. According to research by Glassdoor, 67% of candidates reported salary as the most important factor when considering a job opportunity. Additionally, 46% said health insurance was a positive influencing factor when choosing their job. However, remember that recruitment strategies, like the ones above, may be the tipping point in a candidate choosing your organization. So, when searching for candidates don’t underestimate the power of a solid company advantage.   

Moving Forward 

Although compensation plays a significant role in a candidate's decision-making, consider recruitment techniques that go beyond the numbers. Attracting top talent goes further than a prestigious name and flashy salary; it requires a healthy internal culture and an external mission for the betterment of our communities. Offering candidates benefits other than just financial will make your company stand out from competitors.

Choosing to hire a contingent worker over a full-time worker usually boils down to two main factors: flexibility and cost-efficiency. While your need is both temporary and immediate, it is good practice to look at this candidate as if they are applying for a full-time position. It is best to position your company as an industry trailblazer and highlight your company and workplace culture to draw in candidates. You will also want to prove to the candidates why your company is the best choice for them, before deciding whether they are the best choice for your company.   

Outline the Company’s Needs 

Hiring a temporary SAP resource as an employer first starts with understanding why you are hiring and what exactly you are looking for. In order to find the best fit for the position, you need to understand what qualities and qualifications the candidate needs to succeed. What skills are required? What characteristics should the candidate display? What are the demands and expectations of this role? When putting together the job posting, make sure these details are clear. A clear job description will help weed out unqualified applicants and encourage those who are well-suited for the role.   

Look for Soft and Hard Skills 

The purpose of hiring a temporary resource means no time wasted on training; the ideal candidate should come equipped with the soft and hard skills needed. This means understanding the industry with the background knowledge and skills required for this role. The best candidate should be able to fill the demands of the role immediately with the needed skills and personal attributes. Prioritizing technical skills is a given, but it is also important to consider the candidate’s personality. Is the candidate a strong communicator? Does the candidate work well with others? Some key qualities of a good temporary SAP resource include independence, agility, self-sufficiency, confidence, passion, and integrity.    

Consider Consulting a Staffing Agency 

Although it differs from hiring full-time candidates, hiring a temporary SAP resource as an employer still takes time and effort. Staffing agencies like BCTG can help streamline the process by assessing your company's needs, searching for the ideal candidate, and completing initial screening processes.

When interviewing junior-level hires, there are a few must-have factors to look for in order to ensure you are hiring the best candidate. First, look for curiosity and genuine interest in the role and company; you want a candidate who is eager to learn and excited to work for your organization. Next, look for problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills. A candidate who works well with others and asks good questions will have much more success in a junior developer role than those who do not. Finally, look for a candidate who is self-sufficient. While teamwork is important, so are independence and confidence. Along with these qualities, hiring managers should always look for attitude, aptitude, and ability in their candidates. So, how can companies ensure they are hiring junior developers that possess those must-have factors? Below we outline some of the most common hiring practices as well as recommendations for ensuring you are hiring the best-fit candidates for a junior developer role:  

Most Common Hiring Practices

 

Real-time Response

Real-time response is when a hiring panel or manager asks technical questions in real-time through a series of interviews. Whiteboard interviews fall into this category, which is when a candidate is given a problem to solve and must then explain their solution. This method tests a candidate's technical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Generally, the industry is moving away from this practice, as it is often an inaccurate measure of how the candidate will perform on the actual job.  

Timed Assessment

A timed assessment is typically a third-party assessment– like “Hacker Rank,” “Code Signal,” or “Coderpad” – that measures a candidate’s ability to solve problems in a timely and efficient manner. This hiring practice is helpful when hiring at scale and works well for a certain kind of candidate - those that are good test takers.  However, timed assessments can be seen as impersonal and can miss key candidate qualities. We see our graduates gravitate more to companies that provide a company-relevant experiential code assessment in their interview process as opposed to off-the-shelf assessments.  

Code Review

Code review is when a candidate is given a real problem to solve in a defined period of time. It is most often a take-home assessment or paired programming exercise. This hiring practice allows for better alignment to the tasks required on the job while putting problem-solving skills on display and developing relationships amongst candidates. We appreciate this interview method as we feel it’s most aligned with the reality of what a junior candidate will do on the job once hired and provides them with a personalized experience to get to know their future manager, team, and company.  

Recommendations

When comparing the three aforementioned hiring practices, the efficiency of code reviews shines above real-time responses and timed assessments. While code reviews are proven to provide the most accurate representation of a candidate's ability, there are a few best practices to keep in mind. First, use practical business problems for your example to ensure this process is as closely aligned with day-to-day duties as possible. As such, ensure an existing junior developer on the team can solve this problem in an hour or so. Next, allow candidates to solve the problem using a coding language of their choice and provide access to an API, if relevant, for their code sample. Consider pair programming through part of the given problem, and give candidates an opportunity to show their management skills. For example, provide candidates with three sample tickets to solve and have them explain the order in which they solved them. This can demonstrate their ability to analyze the code’s design, functionality, and consistency. If you successfully implement the previously mentioned practices, you will be giving your candidates the best chance to highlight their skills and abilities. If you have any questions related to developing an effective and efficient interview process, reach out to our team at BCTG today. We are ready to help you master how to hire junior developers.   This piece was originally published by a company in our business ecosystem, Momentum. Learn more about Momentum here.
When companies hire a temporary SAP resource on their own, they typically only have time to scan résumés, conduct brief interviews, and possibly run a few reference checks. This lack of depth available is exactly why staffing agencies, like BCTG, exist. Staffing agencies have vast networks that allow them to take a deep dive into potential candidates and ensure you are hiring the best fit.   Typically, companies consult staffing agencies for their recruiting needs when they are looking to save time and money and streamline the hiring process. As a recruiter, it is your responsibility to understand the employer's goals and what the ideal candidate will look like to achieve those goals. After all, recruiting is all about building relationships and finding the best candidates in a specialized and proactive manner.    

Understand the Company’s Needs

The first step when recruiting a temporary SAP resource is to meet with the employer to truly understand their unique needs for the role. Once you get an idea of what it is they are looking for, it is your job to find the best possible candidate. What qualities and qualifications does the candidate need to succeed? What personality characteristics should the candidate display? When working with the employer to put together the job posting, make sure these details are clear to weed out unqualified applicants. While looking for a temporary resource specifically, the ideal candidate will come equipped with the expertise and skillset necessary to succeed in the role. Remember, as a recruiter, you know what is best for the company from a staffing perspective and you should always leverage that knowledge.   

Find Qualified Candidates

Once you gain a thorough understanding of the company’s needs, use your resources and connections to find qualified potential candidates. Not only should these candidates have the experience and skills required, but they should also fit well into the company culture. Do the wants of the company line up with the wants of the candidate? At the end of the day, the ideal candidate should be able to fill the demands of the role immediately and be a good fit for your organization with the expertise and personal attributes desired.   

Stay Involved

After thoroughly screening and finalizing qualified candidates, present your findings to the employer. Did you meet their needs? Are these candidates right for them? Even after you share the pre-selected candidates with the company, you should stay involved. Offer your expertise and assistance throughout the temporary resource's employment to understand how the candidate you selected performed. For any questions related to recruiting a temporary resource, contact our SAP Staffing and Recruiting team at BCTG. 
Whether a company is recruiting and hiring from within or outsourcing through a staffing agency, searching for an open position as a temporary SAP resource can be overwhelming. As a temporary resource, you are not only filling an immediate need, but you are expected to have all the necessary skills – and if you do not, you must be a quick learner.   Contingent workers are typically sought out when a company is looking to save time and money, so be mindful of that and only apply to positions for which you qualify. After all, the company is looking for the best fit for the positions, and it is on you to ensure that you are that candidate.   

Fulfill The Company’s Needs 

As you explore open positions for temporary SAP resources, consider the skills, characteristics, and experiences needed. The company is searching for a candidate that will fulfill its needs both efficiently and immediately. Are you well-equipped with the skills required? Do you have experience in the necessary SAP programs? Are you able to work on a team or lead a project? Compare your skillset and abilities to the job description, demands, and expectations. If you feel this role is a good fit for you, your résumé and references should reflect that. On the other hand, if you are not aligned with what is required, do not waste your time and the time of those recruiting or hiring, and instead, search for another open position better suited for your skillset.   

Assess Suitability 

After you have decided that you are well-suited for the open position based on skills and experience, take a dive into researching the company itself. Do your goals and beliefs line up with those of the company? For example, if you are passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion, has this company made commitments toward improving its efforts? While you are only being sought out to fulfill a short-term need, your suitability with the company depends on more than just your skillset.   

Exceed Expectations 

The recruiting and hiring process of a temporary SAP resource may appear similar to that of a full-time candidate, although the requirements are much more detailed. A full-time candidate will often have access to benefits and training that a temporary employee will not, so it is important that you are equipped with the skills needed for the position from the start. Along with the hard and soft skills expected for this position, consider how well you would mesh with the company and its culture. At the end of the day, remain realistic and mindful when applying for a temporary SAP position.   For any questions related to the recruiting and hiring process for a temporary SAP resource, contact BCTG’s team of Staffing and Recruiting experts.

As job candidates, there's nothing more important than finding an organization that aligns with your personal and professional goals. With the ongoing labor shortage, companies will be strongly pursuing top talent. So, considering characteristics outside of just compensation when weighing your job opportunities is important. Interestingly enough, 74% of employees reported that company culture is one of the biggest contributing factors to job satisfaction. Researching company culture, understanding the organization’s values, and asking the right questions are all key factors in evaluating if a company is the right fit for you.  

Research Their Culture

Companies are going to look clean and pristine on their website. But when you are seriously considering a job opportunity, it's important to examine the nitty gritty of the organization. Find any information online about the company, whether it’s news about the building of a new software, their latest blog post, or a philanthropic project they’re pursuing. Research employee reviews through Glassdoor and take time to evaluate if that company values factors such as career mobility or work flexibility and if they demonstrate genuine care for their employees. The last thing you want is to be blindsided by a toxic company culture, so, take steps in researching what happens behind the scenes of the organization you are interested in before (or during) the interview and hiring process.  

Prioritize Your Values

Finding a company that supports your values is going to be particularly important in your job search as it provides a greater sense of purpose. After all, 70% of employees who feel that their values match their organizations are far more likely to recommend their employer as a great place to work. This may be a company that plays a role in corporate social responsibility (CSR), whether it's through promoting sustainability or fighting social and economic injustice. Furthermore, when values align, the organization benefits through strengthening employee engagement and maintaining loyalty. Keep in mind the values that the organization prioritizes and how those values may align with your own.  

Interview Them Back

The interview process can be a key indicator if a company is right for you. Although you might think the main purpose of an interview is to vet you, finding out if you’re a good fit yourself is just as important. Ask questions about the day-to-day duties and work environment. Consider what you want in a workplace, then compile a list of questions to ask the interviewer. There will undoubtedly be a period for you to explore the role and company further. For example, if you enjoy teamwork and value collaboration, ask about how employers might deal with interpersonal conflict or how they approach a team project. This will provide insight into organizational dynamics as well as supervisors' communication strategies.  

Find The Right Fit

When exploring an open position, you might think the role and company are perfect for you. However, it's easy to be oblivious to what happens behind the scenes of an organization. Making your values a priority is going to be especially important when looking to develop a long-term career with a company. By practicing the strategies above, finding a role and company that works best for you should be an informative and easy process. To better understand if a company is the right fit for you, contact BCTG today.

I’d like to address a starting point for the all-important professional development topic for companies with too many open tech positions to count, and an outflow of tech employees in the sellers’ market created by the Great Resignation. This piece focuses on how companies can identify employee training and development needs. Companies that seek to identify employee training and development needs to develop in-house talent – and cultivate talent in the surrounding community - recognize talent cultivation as an opportunity to support company growth with a forward-thinking, logically evolving skills foundation, and decrease turnover costs and increase retention by improving engagement. It’s been proven time and time again that professional development adds value. Harvard Business Review explains that “when employees are offered and encouraged to take advantage of upskilling opportunities for their personal or professional growth, people metrics, such as employee engagement and retention, also go up.”  

Identifying wanted and needed Skills

The key question to cracking open the value that professional development can bring is, “How do we identify the skills our people want and need?” Well-meaning professional development efforts that skip the identification step, or training needs analysis, can fail, with far-reaching impact to learning and development budgets as well as decreased employee morale. A piece in elearningindustry.com calls identifying training needs “the foundation on which your entire training is built,” and said that a training needs analysis helps company leadership plan goals, objectives, and activities - and the resources needed to achieve them. Foregoing the analysis, the author warns, is “like setting your employees adrift on a raft in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight. They won’t know which way to paddle, and eventually, they will all get tired and give up.”  

Starting the process

Now that we understand this starting point is critical to the success of your training effort, how do you actually start the process? The primary step to identify employee training and development needs is to measure the current capabilities of your individual employees. Once you have established your baseline, that data can be used for a host of activities. Team leads can measure employee capabilities against current and future business priorities, employee personal goals and objectives (identified in their 360-degree reviews), and profitability and retention targets. Following that benchmarking step to identify employee training and development needs, the Society for Human Resource Management recommends following up with a series of steps to:  

Being actionable

Other follow-up steps include developing an actionable training plan with objectives, tactics, resources, dependencies, and budgets clearly outlined. The key word is actionable. Your training plan cannot sit on a shelf collecting dust. Like your employees, your training and development plan is a living, breathing document to use as a daily guide, with regular performance measurement and periodic iteration. Last and not least, an integral component of plans to identify employee training and development needs should include outreach to the surrounding community to cultivate future new employee hires. Identifying talented people who may currently be under-employed, lack traditional education, or are simply ready to explore new pathways for their futures - and sponsoring them for training and professional development - can help to fill company pipelines with a vital source of talent.  

wrapping up

In closing, identifying employee training and development opportunities includes assessing current capabilities, establishing training objectives by consulting stakeholders, building a logical, actionable plan, and measuring performance against your plan. A thoughtful, organized approach will help you capitalize on training opportunities, for the benefit of your current and future employees, and in support of company growth objectives.

Going into an interview for a prestigious tech company can be nerve-racking. Questions will be specific, and precise technical knowledge is required for these rigorous jobs. While many worry about the content of the interview and what may be asked, asking the interviewer valuable questions in return is just as important. As such, it is beneficial to prepare good follow-up questions to ask during your tech interview to make sure this job is the right fit for you.   Below, we have outlined some sample questions to ask during your tech interview.   

What specific sort of software will be used in this job?

Many companies use different forms of software to complete their basic tasks, so it is important to have a good understanding of each one and how they function. According to the latest statistics, for 61% of software developers, Windows is the leading development environment. Linux ranks second on the list, with 47% of developers using it, and macOS is third. Having a basic understanding of all three of these systems is essential, and letting the interviewer know you are familiar with all of them can help demonstrate your ability to adapt to the company's changing needs.    

What programming language does the company use most often, and why?

There are countless programming languages developed by software engineers that are commonly implemented by top tech companies. According to Stack Overflow, JavaScript currently stands as the most used language in the world (69.7%), followed by HTML/CSS (62.4%), SQL (56.9%), Python (41.6%), and Java (38.4%). Having a basic knowledge of these languages can make yourself more marketable. It also gives you a chance to brush up on any languages you are unfamiliar with before starting your job if the interviewer mentions a language with which you are not as familiar. Including “why” in the question also shows the interviewer you are curious about the company's methods of programming and are willing to thrive in the existing tech culture.    

How will the company adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of technology?

Technology continues to innovate with software and programs becoming more unique and efficient every day. New concepts such as artificial intelligence (AI) and automated processes are flying into the picture. A recent survey found that over one-third of high-revenue companies are spending between $51 million to $100 million on AI. Asking this question shows you are ready to adjust to shifting perspectives in technology and have an innovative mindset for the future. It also gives you insight into the company’s growth mindset and how they may be anticipating future change.   

What is one thing this tech company can offer me that others cannot?

This question is an intuitive one that can really get the interviewer thinking while also giving them a chance to highlight why their company is the best choice. Interviewers love to talk about their company’s strengths and how they distinguish themselves from their competitors. It also gives you a glimpse inside the company culture, enabling you to learn more about the company’s values and priorities beyond just the role itself.  You can structure this question to address any perspective you want. It may be technical related, diversity-driven, benefit-orientated, or anything you care about most.    

Technical capabilities aside, what soft skills would make someone successful in this role?

Getting a tech job is not just about being a whiz in software and engineering. Every job requires soft skills, whether it be leadership, communication, teamwork, or problem-solving. According to a study, 93% of employer's term soft skills as either “very important” or “essential.” It is important to possess these skills and be able to sharpen them in the scenario you get the job. Asking this question also lets the interviewer know you are aware of what soft skills are and the relevance of these skills in performing your job most effectively.    

Can you give me an example of a recent project your team worked on and the experience?

This last question is specific and allows the interviewer to talk about themselves and any important projects they have been working on. It also allows you to get a feel for the company's group dynamics, and what a normal work week would look like for you in this role.   

Conclusion

Asking the right questions is essential to having a good interview. Walking into a tech interview without a set of follow-up questions prepared is a disaster waiting to happen. Having meaningful, thought-provoking questions will demonstrate that you genuinely care about the company’s culture and dynamic, which is extremely important to hiring managers and can leave a lasting impression.  To learn more about what questions to ask during a technical based interview, reach out to the experts at Bull City Talent Group.

At Bull City, we work with a variety of clients to fulfill any staffing and recruiting needs that may arise. Fulfilling our clients' goals is not only an expectation but a requirement at our company. Over the years, we have had the opportunity to work with a handful of clients across various industries. One of these clients is Clarkston Consulting, a leading management consulting firm serving companies in the global life sciences, consumer products, and retail industries. Together, we were able to focus on Clarkston's talent pool to streamline the company’s growth and success.  

The team at BCTG worked with Clarkston stewards to pull together a Clarkston Consulting client testimonial of our time working together below. 

 

Seeking BCTG’s Help

Not too long ago, Clarkston Consulting was experiencing unprecedented growth and required supplemental skills for their project teams. The company was looking for a lot of talent, particularly SAP talent, whose values aligned with Clarkston and who could excel in their role. To help streamline this process, Clarkston reached out to BCTG for their insight and support.  

Why Choose BCTG? 

When asked why Clarkston chose BCTG, three key reasonings stood at the forefront: the people, the expertise, and the history. Clarkston noted the relationship-focused, honest, and authentic nature of Bull City’s consultants. The team was equipped with the expertise needed and ready to help fulfill specific, targeted needs. As such, Clarkston noted that the industry knowledge of BCTG consultants was paramount. Not only does BCTG have experts in staffing and recruiting, but also in quality systems, training, change management, and more. With such proficiency, Bull City has a proven strong track record of delivering great candidates in a reduced period of time.   
“When we contacted BCTG, we were looking for an individual with a highly in-demand skillset. The BCTG team was not only able to find us that resource, but they exceeded our expectations. They brought in multiple candidates that were a great fit for our team and aligned in the skillset needed; they brought depth and breadth to our capabilities to help make the project successful!” - Brajinder Singh, Partner at Clarkston Consulting
 

Clarkston Consulting Client Testimonial

Clarkston described BCTG in these three words: experienced, skilled, and dedicated. Why these three words? First, Clarkston explained that consultants like Dani Phillips truly understand the business and nature of consulting. As such, Dani and other consultants at Bull City are equipped with a deep and rich network full of preexisting relationships. When working with BCTG, Clarkston noted that Dani helped coordinate the company’s needs and then match them up to BCTG’s robust talent pool. This helped support Clarkston and its clients by narrowing in on their talent strategy on a case-by-case basis while filling critical roles in a permanent and temporary capacity.   
“Working with BCTG was an absolute pleasure. The BCTG team embedded themselves in the business to truly understand our objectives and to align a talent strategy that would provide demonstrable returns.” - David Treadaway, Partner at Clarkston Consulting

We are not only great at finding talent in a tough labor market, but we leverage our resource pool and recruiters to fill roles quickly and with very little effort on our client’s part.

In today’s world, everything is digital - from job applications to restaurant menus, and now, even recommendations for future employment. The power of a reference or recommendation has always been proven to be a driving force in hiring, and many of us are familiar with gaining a written reference to share. But how do we go about obtaining a LinkedIn recommendation for our digital profile?  

Four Steps to Gaining LinkedIn Recommendations

Before beginning the process of obtaining a public reference, you want to ensure that you are being strategic about who you ask. Remember, your LinkedIn profile is now one of the first things employers look at when deciding about who they want to interview, it is the best place to make a first impression for employers, so the people you publicly associate with are important.    

First, develop your plan.

Prioritization is key. Look over your experiences and consider those whom you worked with on big projects. Once you have a rough idea of individuals to ask, go through and decipher between colleagues and executives. While personal references can have an influence in some respects, employers are really looking for executives, managers, or other high-level, well-known people in the industry. Consider those who have titles such as Director, SVP, or Founder, not consultant, lead, or analyst. Also, try to stick with one recommendation per project, as this keeps your profile clean and concise. There is a lot of value in seeking recommendations from those whom you’ve closely worked with as it ensures an honest and meaningful recommendation.   

Next, ask for a LinkedIn recommendation.

Once you decide whom you would like to ask for a recommendation, build an honest relationship. Your first communication with them, outside of the project, should not be when you send them the request. You are more likely to get a recommendation from someone once an initial conversation or relationship has been built. Email them first, and in your request, it is advisable to allude to key words that you may want them to use in their recommendation. For example, you may say, “the projects you assigned me allowed me to step into my leadership skills.” While you want your recommendation to address skills related to the jobs you have completed or would want to transition into, you also want to remain authentic. Do not have your recommendation address skills you do not possess.    

Then, send the request.

You did the hard part! You asked for a recommendation, and they excitedly agreed. Now, it is time to send the request via LinkedIn. While LinkedIn allows you to send up to three requests at a time, it is best to keep it to one. When you send a one recommendation request, it gives you the opportunity to send a note, which allows you to personalize each request you send. This is also an opportunity for you to include a draft of what you would like your recommendation to look like.   

Finally, send a thank you note.

Once you have received your LinkedIn recommendation, do not want to stop there. It is extremely important to express gratitude to the person giving you the recommendation. You can say thank you in many ways – some suggestions include sending a handwritten thank you note, gift card, e-card, or another small token of appreciation.    

Conclusion

At the end of the day, requesting recommendations or references is always an intense process. But getting the right recommendations from the right people can put you that much closer to getting the job of your dreams. And above all, posting them publicly on your digital profile could be the deciding factor between you and another candidate.

When applying for an open position, your résumé is one of the first things hiring managers look at during the hiring process. However, you do not have long to make a lasting first impression. Almost 24% of hiring managers spend less than 30 seconds looking at a résumé, meaning you need to be mindful and purposeful in the content you choose to include.   While there are several tips and tricks as to what you should include in your résumé, we have outlined some words to avoid on your résumé below.   

Words and Phrases to Avoid on Your Résumé

 

1) Overused descriptors

Hiring managers are constantly looking at résumés, and as a result, they often see the same words over and over again. You want to stand out, so do not use the same cliché descriptors that others may include in their résumé. For example, avoid using words like “hard-working,” “detail-oriented,” and “problem-solver.” Instead, one may say, “led a complex SAP implementation that included over a dozen workstreams.” Try to provide examples of how you contributed to a project or initiative that will showcase those attributes in action.   

2) Vague titles

You never want to be vague on your résumé. While you do have limited space, you still must be detailed. Non-descriptive titles like “Manager” or “Director” do not provide much insight into the role or responsibility. Try to be more specific, like “Director of a Sales Engineering Team” or “Manager of a Quality Assurance (QA) Team.”    

3) General claims

Similar to overused descriptors like hard-working and detail-oriented, candidates tend to include non-specific claims on their résumé. Using phrases like “Helped lead the team,” “Responsible for sales,” or “Experience in consulting,” are often too general. One tip to avoid making such claims is by using quantifiable data. Rather than saying, “Experience in consulting,” try saying something like, “consulted for five projects across three different companies in the quality and compliance sector.”   

4) Self-assessed qualities

When describing yourself, it is best to avoid any self-assessments. Using words like “expert” and “leader” may seem over-zealous, even if true. Err on the side of modesty, and let your skills, experiences, and references speak for themselves. Once again, provide examples that highlight how you contributed to a project or initiative rather than simply stating unbacked qualities.   

5) Company-specific terminology

It is not uncommon nowadays for companies to create their own jargon. As such, avoid including any company-specific terminology in your résumé as hiring managers may not understand. An example of this is if you worked for Meta, you likely referred to yourself as a “Metamate.” Most hiring managers will not understand the terminology right away, so keep it simple.   

6) “References available upon request”

It can be extremely easy to unintentionally add fluff to your résumé. Including “references available upon request” is usually obvious, and therefore, a waste of space. Instead, provide the hiring manager with a separate list of individuals who have agreed to give a reference once and if requested.   

Be Intentional with Your Word Choice

When it comes to résumés, not only do you have limited time to make a good impression, but you have limited space, too. Most résumés should only be one page, so be intentional and specific with your word choice. Avoiding non-descriptive words, vague titles, and generalized statements will help set you apart from other candidates. For any questions about résumé writing, contact our team of Staffing and Recruiting Experts at BCTG.

When recruiting and hiring an SAP resource for your organization, it is essential to ensure that you are selecting a well-suited candidate. The first step of the recruiting process is establishing your organization’s needs and goals. Once that is done, consider what qualities will help fulfill those needs and goals. The ideal candidate will be equipped with the hard and soft skills required to succeed in the role – and be willing to continue to learn in order to meet evolving project complexities.   While the skills required may vary from role to role, there are a few key qualities to look out for during the hiring process. Below, we’ve outlined qualities of a good SAP resource to consider when searching for the ideal candidate.   

Knowledge of SAP and Business Processes 

The SAP product portfolio is extensive. If a candidate is applying for an SAP position, it is expected that they will have a deep knowledge of SAP and business processes. Having little to no experience in SAP would not only make the individual unsuited for the position, but it would take significant time and money to train them. Once you’ve narrowed down the talent pool to candidates with the required knowledge, consider their specialties. Most SAP resources focus on specific solutions or industries, so cross reference their expertise with your needs. Providing an organization with the best SAP solution requires functional, technical, and analytical skills from the resource in order to ensure the best product is recommended and then implemented.    

Communication, Dedication, and Focus 

Written and verbal communication is an ideal quality for any position, but with the nature of SAP implementations, good communication is vital. SAP projects typically have a lot of moving parts with several team members, so keeping each other accountable, up-to-date, and unified is important. Along with communication, dedication and focus are required. With particularly complex SAP projects, the ideal candidate will need to have solid time-management and prioritization skills to ensure a seamless and efficient implementation when under pressure or trying to adhere to a strict deadline.   

A Learning Mindset 

At the end of the day, SAP resources must maintain a learning mindset. As previously mentioned, the SAP portfolio is vast, and candidates may not be well-versed in every single product or solution. With an adaptable attitude, the best candidates will go into projects with an open mind and a willingness to learn from others, no matter how long they have been in the business.     For any questions related to SAP Staffing and Recruiting, contact our team of experts at BCTG. 
When going into a technical interview, it is not uncommon to be filled with stress and nerves. Not only are you expected to have behavioral knowledge, but you must use your quick-thinking and problem-solving skills to answer technical and specific questions. However, with proper preparation and extensive background knowledge, this process can become quite simple. Below, we’ve provided examples of common tech interview questions and answers to help ease some of the stress and uncertainty.    

Questions and Answers 

 

What sort of programming languages are you most experienced with? 

This is an extremely common question that tech companies will likely ask. . Most applicants list the languages they are adept with on their resume, but it is beneficial to explain your familiarity with each. In a developer survey done by Stack Overflow, JavaScript is the most common programming language in the world (69.7%), followed by HTML/CSS (62.4%), Python (41.6%), and Java (38.4%). Doing research on the company you are applying to beforehand is essential, as every tech company utilizes a combination of various programming languages. You will want to speak to your respective skills in each area, where applicable. For example, IBM uses Java most predominantly, while Dell utilizes JavaScript, and HP focuses primarily on C++. It is important to consider the type of job you are applying for too, as different languages are best suited for unique tasks like front-end or back-end development. While it is best to have general knowledge of every major language, make sure to talk about your experience and expertise with the language that best first the job’s duties.    

How have past coding projects helped mold your experience? 

This is a question that can be shifted into a technical response by talking about past coding projects that you have exceeded in. This can either be a project with a previous company, or a personal project you have been working on in your free time. It is most beneficial to talk about an experience that relates to the goals of the company, and this is a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate your skillset. A great hub to use for storing and displaying past projects is Git. One study shows that 92% of developers say distributed version control systems (Git repositories) help with managing and keeping track of their projects, which can be helpful to refer to during an interview. You can demonstrate your capability of being organized, creative, and efficient while also explaining your skills in the coding project.    

How would you solve this coding problem? 

Every interview pertaining to programming or software engineering will have some sort of specific question that relates to a code. This will test your critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while also letting you display your knowledge. It is important to be thorough and direct with your answers, but don’t rush through the process, as a proper balance of quantity and quality are needed. In a large survey, it was found that coding interviews that led to job offers were around 2,045 characters long, while unsuccessful ones averaged out to about 1,760 characters. This means that interviews that had more lines of total code were much more successful than those that had less depth. Make sure you are answering the prompt in its entirety while also being mindful of time to truly demonstrate your skillset. Websites such as Udemy, LeetCode, and Educative are common examples of good places to start practicing common coding questions asked by tech companies.    

Tell me about some of your strengths and weaknesses. 

This question is seen in every interview for any job where candidates are asked to talk about not only their hard skills, but their soft skills, too. It is vital to highlight your certifications and awards while also demonstrating your strengths in areas such as teamwork, leadership, communication, adaptability, and time management. Companies will want an employee who is not only well-versed in technical knowledge, but also has the basic soft skills that translate to further success within the company. When referring to weaknesses, it is a clever idea to explain how you are willing to grow or answer the question in a way that does not sound negative or self-deprecating. For example, saying “I tend to overthink things and spend a longer amount of time on certain projects, but I am working on being mindful of that in my daily work” shows you are self-aware and already thinking of ways to improve.   

How do you stay up to date with emerging trends and technology? 

As technology continues to evolve, demonstrating that you recognize change and will keep up with the changing times will help you look appealing to employers. Common technologies being rapidly innovated by major tech companies include artificial intelligence, smart devices, virtual reality, blockchain, cybersecurity, and computing power. Explaining that you are continuously familiarizing yourself with these changes will not only make you more marketable but will help your success in the future as these processes continue to evolve. Speak about some of the current trends you have seen, and how your understanding gives you an edge over other potential candidates.

In today’s increasingly digital world, it is vital that consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies alter their strategies to remain competitive. The push for change was exponentially accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers shifted towards online and omnichannel shopping. As a result, those who have yet to implement new solutions are falling further behind. After all, 95% of CPG companies transitioned their business model to pursue direct-to-consumer channels during the pandemic. With the right SAP solutions, CPG companies can embrace the digital era while improving internal processes, speed, and scalability. 

 

Benefits of SAP Solutions for CPG Companies

SAP for CPG companies can provide an array of benefits, from product innovation and goods manufacturing to supply chain resilience and consumer experience. With the impacts of the pandemic still lingering, disruptions and shortages continue to impact the supply chain. But, with solutions like blockchain and IoT sensors, your business will have more visibility to combat these challenges. This unique insight also lends a hand in improving manufacturing processes, as your business can better access supply and demand.   In addition to supporting the supply chain and manufacturing, SAP solutions can help fine-tune the omnichannel experience by turning consumer data into real-time insights. This not only helps companies gain a deeper understanding of consumer wants and needs or habits and behavior, but it also allows them to leverage this information for improved decision-marking in their eCommerce strategy, product development, marketing, and more.

SAP offers diverse solutions for challenges like improving sustainability efforts and the platform’s customizability for firms in any industry is a significant advantage. Any firm can thus utilize SAP to streamline and expand their initiatives, especially given the modern importance of ESG.  Below, we discuss how SAP supports sustainability, notable solutions and offerings, and a few challenges for firms to be aware of with implementation and maintenance.   

Supporting SAP Sustainability

Almost 80% of consumers take sustainability into consideration when choosing products or brands. Consequently, firms should constantly be searching for means to make their own Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices better, more efficient, and more manageable.   With 92% of the Fortune Global 2000 Companies list already using SAP in some form, it can be the catalyst for many firms that won’t need to transition to new systems. Instead, employees can simply access new SAP modules and dashboards utilizing the same skillset that they already possess. This can save time, training costs, and implementation fees.    

Key SAP Solutions

 

Tracking

The creation of circular economies is paramount to ESG initiatives. This means that resources, products, and manufacturing byproducts can oftentimes be reused to lower a company’s footprint. Creating circular economies relies on a few key pillars.  First, firms need to optimize product lifecycles from start to end with sustainability in mind. This means initially designing products that create the least waste and the best chance of reusability. SAP offers a module specifically targeting this called SAP Responsible Design and Production. It essentially helps firms quickly calculate important ESG figures and provide analytical insights that help better decisions be implemented.  Another key solution that SAP offers to build circular economies is Product Lifecycle Management. Accurately understanding a product’s lifecycle and potential barriers can help firms mitigate challenges that reduce a product’s lifespan. Consequently, firms can lengthen the time that a product survives which creates less waste and manufacturing byproducts.   Finally, firms must effectively handle returns of products so that excess waste is not generated. Both the Returnable Packaging Management and Intelligent Returns Management modules are tools which can be used to optimize returns. Ultimately, returns should not be the end of a product’s life. Instead, firms with circular economies can reuse and reinvigorate items that otherwise would have gone to waste.   

Alignment

Understanding exactly where a firm stands on ESG metrics is extremely important to properly evaluate whether more action needs to be taken. Firms should have real time access to data that accurately updates progress on goals.   Firms can use the SAP Sustainability Control Tower to view all performance metrics, data, insights, and ongoing goals in one place. This is crucial to avoid silos on various aspects of sustainability initiatives. Instead, firms can holistically understand exactly where they are and what they should do going forward.   The Sustainability Control Tower also allows firms to build models in order to view trends and patterns that may have been missed initially. This can be the difference between meeting a firm’s goals on sustainability or not.  Finally, a holistic understanding of all data and metrics for a firm’s goals makes reporting and governance much easier. Internal or external audits are more streamlined and easily complied with due to the efficient presentation of data by this SAP solution.    

Impact Management

Last but certainly not least, firms must be able to track the full environmental impact of products and services so that more informed decisions can be made in the future. Consequently, SAP offers the Product Footprint Management module which performs a host of important functions.   This solution utilizes existing firm data to accurately calculate the environmental impact of products. Firms can use this to fully understand their emissions and thus recognize decisions that can lead to severe increases in output. Ultimately, understanding exactly how a firm contributes to global emissions and waste is the first step to reevaluating decisions that can be made more sustainable.   

SAP and Sustainability

The primary challenge that firms will face in utilizing SAP offerings for sustainability is the cost of modules and potential implementation. Additional modules, like those listed above, may add to a firm’s recurring operating costs; however, it’s important to first evaluate other financial impacts.  Consistently having access to a firm’s data about sustainability means that tasks can be optimized. As a result, costs may fall as processes become more efficient. Additionally, lengthy recurring undertakings such as audits, goal mapping, and progress monitoring are essentially done instantaneously whenever a firm needs. This means that time and labor costs are reduced or eliminated entirely.   At the end of the day, sustainability and ESG are core components to modern businesses. Firms can use SAP as a catalyst for understanding and improving their own initiatives. Companies, however, should take the time to properly evaluate whether the additional modules are worthwhile for what they hope to accomplish. Firms may also be served best by industry leading SAP implementation partners who can ensure systems are fully optimized.

Recruiting metrics are used to track hiring success and optimize the way your company reaches its goals. These metrics are usually shown by key performance indicators (KPIs) that can effectively track hiring processes. It is important to understand which KPIs and metrics are most worth looking at for your business. Doing so can improve your return on investment (ROI) and help you hire the best candidates that fit most with the company. Following metrics and KPIs can also help your business save money and time, as well as improve the efficiency of the recruiting and hiring process.    

Top KPIs and Metrics 

 

Time to Hire 

One of the most common metrics used to look at hiring processes is the time to hire for a candidate. This specifically refers to the number of days it takes to hire a particular candidate. Talented candidates are usually in high demand, so keeping your time to hire as low as possible is a good indicator that more gifted candidates are applying for and showing interest in the job. Time to hire can also signify that your company is moving these qualified candidates more quickly through the hiring process. It also allows managers to see how long it will take to find a replacement for empty positions.    

Offer Acceptance Rate 

The offer acceptance rate is the rate at which potential candidates accept the number of offers your company extends. This is a good indicator of your company's reputation and the benefits you may offer. It can also be an indicator of the amount of compensation you are offering and if it is a competitive salary. Working with the finance team to find good salaries to offer while also letting candidates know the compensation is competitive can help increase your acceptance rate and fill positions more consistently.    

Quality of Hire 

This metric takes more time and can be measured in many ways, but it is important to measure the quality of the people you are hiring. Quality of hire can most commonly be measured by the success ratio, which is the number of candidates you consider to be satisfactory, divided by the total number of candidates hired. A higher ratio means more talented candidates are being hired. Conducting audits to measure employee productivity at different benchmarks can help you see whether you are hiring fully qualified people. Low first-year performance indicators are signs of poor-quality hires and can result in thousands of dollars lost. If this is happening, it is important to look at the criteria you are using to hire candidates, and more strict qualifications may need to be put into place to prevent poor candidates from being considered.    

Selection Ratio 

The selection ratio of your company correlates to the number of candidates hired divided by the total number of applicants. A lower ratio means there are a lot of people interested in the job, and you are most likely to get a range of higher skilled candidates. While recruiting large numbers of applicants can be time-consuming, these processes can be optimized by using AI screening processes, predictive hiring assessments, and video interviews to make sure the processes are not taking too much time. On the contrary, if the selection ratio is high, it is likely you are not getting diverse enough candidate pools and need to improve your recruitment strategies. This can usually be done through marketing and increased engagement such as career fairs, social events, and more. It is important to optimize your selection ratio to a small number to make sure you are recruiting the best talent.   

DE&I 

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is a huge metric that can help boost company performance and lead to more applicants applying. Companies with diverse candidates hired have a cash flow that is 2.3 times higher than those that do not, and they also have a 70% greater chance of capturing new markets. It is important to note that a dwindling number of applicants could signal that your company is not welcoming to distinct cultures or backgrounds. Make sure when recruiting to explain diversity programs or groups your company may offer and boast about potential diversity statistics that make your company stand out. Skilled and diverse candidates are more likely to apply for open positions if they feel comfortable with the company values and culture.    

Cost Per Hire 

The cost per hire metric is the total number of internal and external costs divided by the number of candidates hired. These costs can include advertising, agency, and new hire training expenses. This is extremely important to your company's financial wealth and making sure you are not going out of budget to hire candidates. If it is too expensive, then strategies need to be changed to lower your price point to get new employees. On the contrary, not spending enough money on recruiting can be a sign of poor processes and can lead to lower quality of hire.    

Recruiting the Best Candidates

There are several key metrics and KPIs worth following to improve your business efficiency and improve the quality of your hires. While there are many more out there, the previous metrics mentioned are the ones that will lead your company to success. Understanding these metrics can also save your company money eventually by hiring more talented workers who conduct work efficiently.   To learn more about recruiting key metrics and KPIs, reach out to the experts at Bull City Talent Group.

The Great Resignation has made a significant impact on the workforce, leaving more than 10 million job openings in America. As individuals’ preferences and career goals change with the popularization of remote working and post-pandemic attitudes, it's important to consider the good, the bad, and the ugly when thinking about leaving your current role. With an increased emphasis on technical skills and a shifting labor market, knowing industry and job trends is going to be crucial. So, what should you know when considering a change in roles?   

The Good

Right now is a perfect time to make a career switch. Why? There are quite literally millions of job openings and high demand for talent in many industries, specifically in growing fields like technology and computer science. The pandemic triggered The Great Resignation, with a total of 48 million employees quitting their job in 2021, showing us the highest rates we’ve seen in history.   Following this, companies dealt with labor shortages which has forced them to improve benefits, salaries, and growth opportunities in order to compete in a struggling labor market. As of now, workers have the upper hand in the job market with two job openings for every unemployed worker and layoff rates at a low. With this pro-worker dynamic, individuals looking for jobs are generally given more opportunities and choices as well as increased negotiating power. So, if you're interested in pursuing a tech career, now is the time to capitalize on it.    

The Bad

When considering making that career switch, specifically in tech, having the right knowledge and in-demand technical skills is going to be important. This means being up to date with modern technology and platforms. Moving to a new company or industry may mean having to learn new systems and processes, so proficiency in SAP at one company could still mean needing to learn new skills or re-train at the next. This can be intimidating if you’ve been out of the technology game for a while or have been settled in with your current platforms – not to mention the investment that learning a new skill can require. Certain certifications, skills, and software may certainly demand additional money, time, and resources on your part.   While these factors and barriers may be daunting, they are no more important than being satisfied with your position. Adapting to a new role and organization is no easy task, but it may be the right choice. Don’t let the upfront investment keep you from expanding your horizons into new technologies and industries.    

The Ugly

Additionally, people build up credibility and reputation at companies. Leaving your current role and switching paths can be a scary thought; You’re losing that stature, friends, connections, and network – not to mention the overall life changes associated with switching jobs or careers like the possibility of relocation or limited flexibility. Also, the onboarding process for a new role can be overwhelming, particularly if it is in a virtual environment. The stress of relocation, learning a new schedule, and starting over often deter people from making a career switch. However, these factors, while not ideal, may be the push you need in your career goals.     

Conclusion

There are many factors to account for when considering a job change. While the thought of leaving your current role can be a scary one, it is important to prioritize your values and overall satisfaction in your role. Knowing the trends within different industries and the labor market will be vital when making your decision. Now is the time to capitalize on new and exciting potential career opportunities and truly think about whether making that switch will be the right choice for you.   For more information and guidance related to staffing, contact our team of experts at BCTG.

Finding a new job can be a stressful process, and this can be exacerbated in the tech industry with its robust competition. Additionally, the looming possibility of a recession means that being unemployed during economic uncertainty is a big concern. However, in this period of unpredictability, many opportunities are still present in the labor market. There are several tips and tricks one can follow to make the search for a job much easier, but maximum effort needs to be put into this process to secure your desired role in 2023.    

Begin Your Job Search Early

First, understanding when the best time to start looking for a job for 2023 is extremely important. While there are still a handful of weeks until the new year starts, many tech jobs are in high demand and may require weeks of preparation and search. It is essential to recognize that some companies might be posting open positions at the end of the year. Since companies begin to assess their budgets for the coming year around this time, more roles may be opened. Additionally, the recruiting and hiring process can take time, particularly if companies also need to conduct reference checks, so open positions will need to be posted well before the new year starts. It is best to start looking for open positions now to reduce the stress that accompanies the holiday season and finding a new job. By starting your job search early, you can beat the rest of the crowd and feel content by securing a job before 2023 begins.    

Understand That Numerous Tech Jobs are Available

Lingering effects of the Great Resignation still preside, as a great number of people left their job in 2021 to find a higher-paying one, one that was better aligned with their values, or one that offered more benefits. Currently, there are an abundant number of tech jobs in the U.S. – analysis from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that there are over 600,000 tech jobs currently available. The labor shortage coupled with the ongoing demand for tech developers presents candidates looking for a role in tech with a very optimistic outlook.    

Network as Much as Possible

Networking is one of the biggest keys to finding a new job. Usually, in bigger cities and near universities, companies will come to showcase their job openings. They provide you with a chance to network with recruiters at their organization, which is an ideal opportunity to learn more about a potential role and if the company might be a good fit for you. Establishing a good relationship with these people is key to building a good reputation and can put you at an advantage for finding a job. It also gives you a chance to see a wide range of offerings and select the one that looks best to you. In addition, these recruiters can give you any tips or tricks to finding a job.  LinkedIn is another great place to connect with people, just in a virtual format. You can message and meet people on the platform and even set up in-person meetings or phone calls to help in the search for a job. Networking with these people can increase your odds of finding a job while also establishing yourself as a talented worker. Recruiters love to see job seekers who are initiating conversation as opposed to those who just submit an application.    

Use the Internet to Your Advantage

Part of searching for a tech job includes finding a job that best fits your computational skills. Some job offerings may not align with what you have learned, and you may need to sharpen up your tech skills. The Internet is a great resource to acquire new skills and fill any possible gaps in your résumé. There are countless free courses, bootcamps, and coding exercises, it just requires research and effort from yourself to find them. One example of an online courses is Momentum, which offers tailored coding programs for individuals looking to learn code or receive further programming training. Utilizing these online resources to improve your skillset shows your commitment to continuous learning and training and could put you one step ahead of another candidate.   

Prioritize Flexibility in Your Work Environment

As a result of COVID-19, many companies were forced to move virtual for business operations. As we move into 2023, virtual work options remain a key factor for certain jobs. In fact, the American Opportunity Survey found that in spring 2022, more than 58% of Americans had the option to work either virtually or in-person at some point throughout their week. This indicates that many companies will be prioritizing their employees' needs with flexible work formats. However, it is important to keep in mind when searching for an opening that some roles may require you to be flexible with your work situation moving into 2023.     

Finding a New Job in 2023

While finding a job may seem like a long process that is filled with nerves and anticipation, these feelings can be reduced by planning ahead and beginning your search early. For help with finding the right job for you in 2023, reach out to the experts at Bull City Talent Group.

Alternative sources of labor are becoming more vital in an economy that faces major shortages. In 2021 alone, approximately 47 million workers quit their jobs, which has contributed to understaffing and unfilled roles. Staff augmentation, or the practice of hiring temporary workers to augment a firm’s workforce, is one solution to address the need for more labor. Another is utilizing managed services, which is essentially outsourcing the work to a third party. The decision to utilize staff augmentation or managed services has many nuances that ultimately depend on the goals of the firm.  Below, we discuss the pros and cons of each model and other key considerations to help firms make the best decision for securing additional labor.    

Pros and Cons of Staff Augmentation

The staff augmentation model is appealing for a number of reasons. Firms that need to scale up their operations find that hiring temporary workers can be done quickly. Conversely, if a firm is scaling down, it is far easier to do so without a full contingent of permanent workers. Whether skilled or unskilled labor is needed, firms can rapidly access these workers to mitigate unforeseen events.  Staff augmentation also allows firms to cushion financial headaches from permanently hiring or laying off workers. In times of uncertainty, this can be a crucial advantage because firms do not have to perfectly predict the size of the labor force that is needed. Finally, the staff augmentation cost model is simple as temporary workers are typically paid on a fixed rate basis for the duration of a contract.   The danger of staff augmentation, however, is when firms begin to rely on temporary workers for long-term operations. First, temporary workers are typically paid more than permanent employees. Thus, neglecting to hire individuals on a permanent basis for projects that become permanent fixtures in a firm’s operations can create greater overhead.   Additionally, temporary workers who work in roles for long periods of time possess knowledge and skills that are vital to the company, but it is easy for them to leave. Becoming dependent on temporary employees is dangerous since firms have little leverage over individuals without actual commitment.    

Pros and Cons of Managed Services

The primary difference between staff augmentation and managed services is the guarantee of a result. While staff augmentation allows firms to potentially accomplish a goal by providing a key input, managed services guarantee that the outsourced task is completed for a fixed price.   This is significant as it shifts the risk to the third-party and frees up capacity at the firm to focus on other tasks. It also allows a firm to fully understand the costs needed for a project. The cost of hiring temporary workers can increase with unforeseen delays or challenges as they are kept on the payroll for longer. In contrast, the fixed cost of a contract for outsourced work means that the firm knows exactly how much they are spending.   If a firm needs a task done for a long period of time or in great volume, there may also be bulk incentives that are provided which can lower cost. Finally, the third party may have greater capabilities, efficiency, and knowledge than the firm because the task is one of their key operations.   Firms, however, may dislike managed services because they have less direct control over the outsourced tasks. The tradeoff for letting another firm assume control of a project’s risk is that it is more difficult to exercise oversight of every aspect. For firms that prioritize scrutinizing every detail of a process, outsourcing work may not be the best decision.  Additionally, if a firm ever decides to begin accomplishing the task in-house, it is difficult to build the necessary foundations without an existing division. Thus, firms that are uncertain whether they want to continue outsourcing a task forever should plan for the difficulties of creating their own teams.    

Staff Augmentation or Managed Services

There are three key components to deciding to use staff augmentation versus managed services. First, firms need to fully understand the length of the project. If they expect it to be relatively short term, staff augmentation may be better because it is easier to quickly adjust the size of their work force. If it may be longer, then considering a contract to outsource the work to a more efficient third party is important.   Second, the urgency of the project may determine the direction that a firm chooses. Staff augmentation is valuable for how rapidly firms can scale their labor. If a project faces unanticipated challenges, staff augmentation can be a vital tool to pick up the slack. If the time horizon, however, extends well into the future, then firms may want to consider not having temporary workers on their payroll for such long periods. Instead, they can optimize other tasks that their firm focuses on by letting another party assume the risk for a set timeline.   Finally, the confidentiality of the task is an especially nuanced aspect. Firms may not want temporary workers to have access to trade secrets for extended periods of time, regardless of legal confidentiality guarantees. They may also not want to create dependence for vital tasks on workers that may not have as much loyalty to the firm as permanent employees. Firms, however, may also not want to utilize managed services for many of the same reasons.    

Conclusion

Ultimately, the decision between staff augmentation and managed services will be different for each firm. Companies should develop short and long-term plans to make the most informed decisions about what their goals require.

SAP provides an array of resources to aid in supply chain management, two of which are SAP Manufacturing Execution (MES) and SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (MII.) SAP Manufacturing Execution (MES) works to digitize manufacturing processes while integrating business systems with advanced technology. SAP MES can help simplify integration, improve operational visibility, create flexibility in production, and increase reliability and traceability with real-time data. On the other hand, SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (MII) leverages the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to connect man, material, method, and machine to your extended supply chain. SAP MII integrates manufacturing processes and business operations with Big Data analysis, on-premise and private cloud deployment, and more.  Below, we provide insight into SAP MES and MII in order to understand which application is best suited for your business needs.

SAP MES has three key capabilities to keep in mind: centralized operations, automated data collection, and tracking and resolution. First, centralized operations provide employees with interfaces to support workflows, adapt routing materials, and manage production. Next, automated data collection records all relevant production data, like traceability and quality, monitors adherence to specifications and regulations, integrates the master data process, and more. Finally, this application detects tracking and resolution by creating device history records, tracking and tracing visibility, and analyzing data to improve efficiency and reliability. With these capabilities, some key benefits include improved visibility, adaptability, and efficiency.  

SAP Manufacturing Integrations and Intelligence (MII)

SAP MII has two main aspects: integration and intelligence. The integration aspect links SAP ERP with plant floor applications, while the intelligence aspect provides real-time insight into manufacturing operations. This application works to optimize supply chain management with key features like IIoT and machine-to-machine. Its plant information catalog maintains master data, while its Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Management analyses plant performance and its business process integrations to help improve business processes. Some key benefits include increased OEE, streamlined process orchestrations, and platform universality.    

Which Is Right for Your Business?

When choosing between these two applications, it is important to first understand your business's needs and goals. SAP Manufacturing Execution is more appropriate for discrete manufacturing industries and companies as it allows businesses to design their own customizable MES software with a variety of options and features. SAP Manufacturing Integrations and Intelligence, on the other hand, is better suited for those with niche routing processes, as it is much more complex and requires more development.

Hiring and recruiting in 2023 will continue to be shaped by the lasting effects of COVID-19. As some companies emerge from remote work environments and others retain their virtual or hybrid setup, staffing looks different than in years past. Additionally, the ‘Great Resignation’ will force recruiters to be especially proactive in anticipating their staffing needs. Below, we discuss a variety of trends that are expected to influence staffing in 2023.    

2023 Staffing Trends

 

Alternative Sources of Labor

In an economy struggling to find employees, companies are often turning to alternative sources of labor like staff augmentation and managed services. Staff augmentation is when firms hire temporary workers to bolster a firm’s workforce. In contrast, managed services is outsourcing the work to a third party. While both have their pros and cons, they ultimately allow companies to hire the employees that they need either short- or long-term.   

Internal Mobility

The practice of upskilling, or retraining current employees with new skills, will continue to help relieve hiring needs for firms. Rather than seeking new employees, a company can retrain current employees and transition them to new roles. This can also increase employee retention rates and loyalty.   

Automation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool that recruiters will continue to use to parse job applicants. Computers can quickly search for ideal candidate qualities in both résumés and video interviews. As a result, AI recruiting companies cite a 90% increase in firms’ speed of hiring. This can be especially important for large firms that need to efficiently sort through huge quantities of applicants. It’s even estimated that 50% of firms currently use AI to find and evaluate candidates.   

Gen Z

Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, will continue to become a larger segment of the workforce in 2023. This young pool of talent may be a boon for recruiters struggling to fill IT roles because of their familiarity with technology. Additionally, it’s estimated that Gen Z will compose 27% of the workforce by 2025.    

Data and Analytics

Firms have demonstrated that they value HR analytics to make the best recruitment decisions. Key quantitative metrics about candidates enable companies to increase the quality of hires, reduce recruiting costs, and create benchmarks. This data can also be used to discover internal skill gaps so that recruiters can proactively seek new employees. Ultimately, firms will certainly utilize more analytics in their staffing processes as talent-management software continues to evolve.    

Social Media

Social media platforms continue to bolster recruiting efforts. Business-focused platforms like LinkedIn will continue to serve as a marketing tool and for direct application to job boards. In 2022, it’s been found that 87% of recruiters regularly use LinkedIn and 300,000 remote job postings were made in the U.S. alone. The power of online marketing, especially for a digital Generation Z, is tremendous and is expected to grow in 2023.   

Conclusion

Ultimately, staffing trends are influenced by many factors outside of recruiters’ control. HR departments, however, should still be proactive in their search for new hires, especially as large numbers of employees continue to resign. Anticipating the trends that affect every business function can help mitigate the risks of unexpectedly being short-staffed.   At Bull City, we are prepared to help your business meet 2023 staffing trends with our recruiting and hiring expertise.

At Bull City, we work with a variety of clients to fulfill any staffing and recruiting needs that may arise. We pride ourselves in locating, representing, and placing the highest quality IT talent. We have worked with many different consultants both in contract and full-time employment opportunities. One of those consultants is Delroy Lewis.   

Seeking BCTG's Help

Delroy was sourced by one of our recruiters via Dice.com. He has a concentrated analysis/development and project management experience in cross-platform environments consisting of web, client-server, and IBM mainframe environments. Prior to joining the BCTG community, Delroy spent over two decades working as a Programming Analyst and Lead Software Engineer for Broadridge.   

Placement

Based on Delroy’s qualifications, Bull City qualified and represented Delroy to our direct-end retail client. Delroy then participated in a few rounds of interviews before ultimately being selected for a contract HighJump Developer position.   HighJump is a supply chain management software that streamlines the flow of inventory and information from supplier to shelf. In a retail environment, a HighJump Developer will typically work with omni-channel and in-store fulfillment, along with POS management.   

Developer Testimonial

Delroy has now been contracted via BCTG for the past 2 years. Prior to working through BCTG, Delroy hadn’t interacted with staffing agencies before. Here's what he said about interacting with his recruiter,
  "He was genuine and gave me the sense that he was dealing with me honestly and with no agenda.”
Our team at BCTG is eager to help consultants find the best employment opportunities for their needs. If you are looking for your next opportunity, choose BCTG and contact one of our recruiters today.

As we approach the end of 2022, we would like to reflect on the candidate-focused content we have published this past year. Below, we have highlighted some of our most relevant candidate insights from 2022.   

#1: Tips for Finding a New Job in 2023

#3: Words to Avoid on Your Résumé

While there are several factors that you should include in your résumé, we have outlined some words to avoid on your résumé in this piece.   

#4: A Consultant’s Guide to LinkedIn Recommendations

Going into an interview for a prestigious tech company can be nerve-racking. Questions will be specific, and precise technical knowledge is required for these jobs.

As we enter 2023, most companies are looking at their talent strategy for the year and beginning to implement the first steps. For some, this means finding a staffing partner that will help them meet their goals for the year. When it comes to selecting an SAP staffing partner, there are a few areas of consideration in order to ensure you are partnering with the best-suited agency. Below, we provide some insight into how to select an SAP staffing partner for your business.   

Define Your Needs

First and foremost, before searching for a staffing agency, you must ask yourself one question: what exactly are we looking for? Staffing partners will do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to finding and placing candidates, but in order to do so, they need to thoroughly understand your specific needs and goals. Are you looking for a full-time or contingent worker? Is this an on-site or remote opportunity? All parties involved should be able to describe the responsibilities of the role as well as the qualifications and characteristics of the ideal candidate. As such, your SAP staffing partner will be able to effectively recruit, vet, interview, and place top-notch candidates.   

Research Your Agency

When partnering with a staffing agency, it is essential to find a good fit. Do they have expertise and experience in SAP? What are their qualifications? What industries have they worked with in the past? What does their portfolio look like? What does their recruitment and placement process look like? Do your research, ask questions, and consider requesting data and metrics. Looking into the agency’s prior work, whether that be through client testimonials or candidate satisfaction stories, can highlight whether you can trust and rely on these individuals. Does this team only care about making money and filling a position, or do they truly care about helping your business meet its goals? The answers to these questions can help guide you in the right direction.  

Selecting an SAP Staffing Partner

At Bull City, we work with clients of all sorts to source, vet, and place candidates that not only meet your needs but create value for your business. We pride ourselves in helping find experts, and we are dedicated to SAP and IT Staffing Solutions. To learn more about whether BCTG is the right SAP staffing partner for your business, contact our team for a consultation today. 
In 2023, the Great Resignation persists, with 44% of workers looking for a new job. As such, from a business and staffing perspective, it is important to understand what exactly candidates are looking for in a new role, whether that be remote work or better benefits, in order to both attract and retain top tech talent. Additionally, from a candidate perspective, it is essential that companies make it clear as to what exactly they are looking for in today’s market – it is not only about a candidate’s technical skills, but soft skills as well.  Below, we outline the top four trends facing the talent community in 2023 for both employers and prospective candidates.   

2023 Talent Trends

 

Job market conditions are favorable

The labor shortage coupled with increasing demand to meet technical goals has created a favorable job market for candidates. The labor shortage has led to an influx of open positions, and as a result, there are more unfulfilled jobs than there are qualified workers to fill them. After all, there are nearly two job openings for every unemployed person. As such, organizations are now much more willing to invest in training and development programs to help upskill and reskill their current employees. The focus is slowly shifting from recruiting to retention and internal mobility. Finally, these conditions have given candidates the opportunity to negotiate higher salaries and better benefits.   

Use economic uncertainty to your advantage

With the current economic uncertainty, bonuses and alternative perks will increase in popularity to draw in talent. Several companies cannot keep up with inflation, so flexibility in work opportunities will not only attract but also retain candidates. Consider what candidates are looking for in a job and organization, and cater your benefits to these desires. For example, more and more candidates are rejecting the hybrid work environment and instead searching for fully remote roles or even those with a four-day workweek. Candidates are not afraid to prioritize their needs, and providing your employees with the right benefits during these uncertain times will improve your organization’s retention rates immensely.

In the current work environment, the amount of project-based work continues to grow. As project management is fundamental to business transformation and IT innovation, the need for strong project managers has only grown in recent years as the broad business landscape has been disrupted again and again. In the face of this disruption, businesses are pursuing innovative technologies and strategies to realize new organizational capabilities. Project managers can not only save your organization time and money, but they can improve internal communications and business decisions, and help promote strategic alignment and quality control. At BCTG, we work with clients and candidates of all sorts to fulfill any and all staffing needs. We have worked with a number of candidates in both part-time and full-time employment opportunities, including project management. One of those candidates is Laurie Rubin.   

Assessing The Candidate's Skills

Laurie was sourced directly by one of our expert recruiters. She is a creative, hands-on, solutions-oriented, PMP-certified senior manager and client liaison for leaders in highly regulated industries. With over 10 years of experience leading large, cross-departmental programs and projects, Laurie thrives in planning strategic, business-focused initiatives. She has a knack for motivating and empowering matrixed, cross-functional project teams to work cooperatively toward the successful completion of complex projects.   Laurie’s specialties include Program Management and Project Management of strategic, transformational corporate initiatives for highly regulated industry leaders in Dental Insurance, Pharmacy Benefits Management, Medical Devices, Healthcare, and Pharma, Resource Management and Functional Team Leadership, Process Management, Vendor Management, and Customer Relationship Management.   

Placement

Taking into account Laurie’s qualifications, BCTG connected Laurie with our direct-end pharmaceutical client. Laurie then participated in a few rounds of interviews before ultimately being selected for a contract Senior Project Manager position in June of 2022.   As a Senior Project Manager, job duties typically involve leading and overseeing a team, organizing resources, coordinating issues, and so on. In her current role, Lauren focuses mainly on Software as a Service (SaaS) and Agile methodologies.   

Project Manager Testimonial

Laurie has now been contracted via BCTG for over 6 months. During her time working with BCTG, Laurie said,  
“They offered a highly competitive rate, quick interview cycle with a large company, and weekly payment.”

When it comes to hiring, regardless of industry or position, the ideal candidate is based on your business’s needs and goals, and this is no different when hiring a project manager. Before beginning the hiring process, you need to prepare, research, and outline exactly what the position entails and what kind of individual would be best suited for the role. Project managers are typically brought on to ensure project success and to unify the team. As such, hiring the right project manager is crucial to ensuring said success.    

Tips on Hiring the Right Project Manager

 

Be clear and specific when searching for candidates

For any position, the job description should be detailed. A decent job description will set expectations on daily duties, list required skills and certifications, and ultimately weed out unfit candidates. For project management positions, there are typically a few must-have skills and traits to possess, like excellent communication skills or a proactive mindset. But when searching for a project manager for your implementation, you want to be more specific about what industry the project is in, what experience is preferred, what certifications are required, and so on.   Say you are a retail organization trying to hire a project manager for an SAP implementation. The job summary should accurately describe the day-to-day duties; for example, it may say: “serve as the central point of contact for all assigned IT projects across the 10-person team,” or “oversee day-to-day project management activities for various active integration projects.” Job requirements may be something like, “Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology or a related field,” “experience with SAP and similar ERP systems,” or “5+ years retail project management experience.” Being as specific as possible throughout the entire recruiting and hiring process is essential in finding the best candidate for your implementation.   

Be prepared to pay more, whether hiring a contract or full-time project manager

Top-notch and high-performing candidates typically come with years of experience. To receive a project management title, this individual would have spent years building their career. As such, they will expect accurate compensation. If your organization has not appropriately set aside funds, consider looking into contract or freelance project managers. Sometimes looking elsewhere can turn out to be more cost-effective. Nonetheless, a project manager position is a more senior position, so pay should and will reflect that.   

Be open to working with a staffing agency

The easiest way to ensure you are hiring the right project manager for your implementation is by consulting a staffing agency. Recruiters exist to take away the stress and time associated with hiring for new positions. It is important to fill positions with premier talent, especially for positions as important and impactful as project managers. Here at BCTG, we work with our clients to find the right resources to suit their needs. To learn more about our staffing and recruiting capabilities, contact our team today.

It is no secret that your résumé can make or break your ability to land a job. After all, it is your first chance to make a good impression on a potential employer. While hiring managers are increasingly focusing on candidates’ LinkedIn profiles as the first step in recruiting and screening, your résumé is still a key factor in the process. Résumés provide candidates with a unique opportunity to cater their skills and experience to the job for which they are applying.  Below, we outline the top 5 skills to put on a résumé as we enter 2023.   

Best Skills to Put on a Résumé

 

Cloud Computing & Management 

The demand for cloud computing and management skills continues to grow, with total global cloud spending expected to reach over $590 billion this year. As organizations take the next steps in their digital transformation, they are looking for more efficient ways to manage their data as they grow and modernize. Therefore, a candidate who is trained in cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure would be preferred to one who is not.   

Cybersecurity 

Understanding cybersecurity is simply a must-have skill for any role – from IT to marketing. With the coronavirus pandemic altering the workplace dynamic to a remote or hybrid setting, cybersecurity is of increasing importance for any organization regardless of industry. In 2023 alone, it is predicted that 10 million cybersecurity jobs will be needed. In the tech industry specifically, working with sensitive information requires an extra level of precaution. As such, training in areas like cloud security or network security control is extremely attractive.  

Data Analysis 

The ability to understand and communicate data is increasingly necessary as it becomes central to most businesses and their strategy. By 2025, 70% of jobs are expected to work directly with data, and therefore, any skills related to data and analytics are extremely valuable. Skills related to data analysis may vary, but the importance lies in the ability to gather and interpret data. Additional experience in coding, programming, writing, presenting, and more may help set you apart as a data analyst.  

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML) 

While technologies emerge and evolve, the presence of artificial intelligence has grown. In 2023 alone, global spending on AI is estimated to exceed $500 billion. As such, there is a growing market for those equipped with AI- and ML-specific skills. Knowledge of programming languages like Python and Java can especially help in their area.  

Software & Programming Proficiency 

Regardless of industry or position, base-level knowledge of software like Microsoft Office is expected for day-to-day functions. Technology roles, however, will require a much deeper understanding of software and programming. Skills that may fall under this umbrella include training in ERP systems like Oracle and SAP or in coding languages like CSS and HTML.  

Conclusion

At the end of the day, the skills that you put on your résumé will vary based on the position or industry. However, when searching for a role in the tech industry, it will serve you well to be versed in the five previously mentioned areas - cloud computing and management, cybersecurity, data analysis, AI and ML, and software and programming proficiency. For any questions related to your résumé and skillsets, contact our team of staffing and recruiting experts at BCTG.
Whether working in-house or through a staffing agency, recruiters play a critical role in sourcing top talent. In order to set your recruiters up for success, you need to ensure that the team is able to deliver the best of the best. Locating, screening, and vetting candidates is not a quick process, and implementing a sense of consistency along the way can help streamline and strengthen the process. For any recruiter, providing top-notch candidates and reliable results is the end goal.  Below, we outline some best practices in order to set your recruiters up for success.   

Set Goals and Track Your Efforts

For any team, setting goals is expected. In this case, let’s say the goal is to bring in one new hire each month. Based on past data, it typically takes finding 20 qualified candidates and conducting eight interviews to land a well-suited hire. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of one new hire per month, your team may set an additional goal to identify at least six qualified candidates each week. However, setting smaller goals should not be used to measure a recruiter's ability but rather to act as stepping stones in reaching the greater goal. Tracking your efforts through metrics and KPIs, then, will simply be a means to highlight the team's progress and achievements. With set goals, the team can stay on track and hold each other accountable while working towards a common objective.  

Enact a Full-Proof Process

Most recruiting teams consist of several individuals working in tandem, and having an organized and unified process can help create consistency and reliability. For example, the process may go as follows: First, understand the needs of the client, or your business, and then create an accurate, detailed job description. Post the job description online while formulating a list of prospective candidates in your existing talent pool. At the same time, begin searching for additional qualified candidates. Next, begin screening and shortlisting candidates. Finally, put the candidates through a few rounds of interviews before selecting the best of the best. While recruiters must remain agile and versatile to changing considerations, having a structured timeline to follow is extremely helpful.    

Promote a Supportive Environment

Above all, one of the best ways to set your recruiters up for success is by providing a supportive environment. Ensuring that you are available for your team to answer questions or provide guidance at any and all times is not only good practice, but it also proves how dedicated you are to their success.

Considering alternative sources of labor and staffing is increasingly common given the current talent market. As the economy continues to face major talent shortages, businesses must be strategic in their talent acquisition. One of many solutions to address the need for talent is staff augmentation. Rather than waste time and money on recruiting talent, using a staff augmentation model allows you to attain flexible and scalable resources for your project(s) on a temporary basis. With augmented staffing, businesses can bring on tailor-made individuals with the skills required to meet their needs.   

Understanding the Staff Augmentation Model

A staff augmentation model may be beneficial to your business for several reasons. First, businesses that need to scale their operations find that hiring temporary workers can be done quickly. With augmented staff, businesses can rapidly access these workers to mitigate unforeseen events. Staff augmentation also allows firms to prevent potential financial headaches from hiring or laying off permanent workers. And in times of uncertainty, this can be a crucial advantage.    

Exploring Alternative Staffing Options

An additional staffing option that some businesses consider is managed services. With managed services, businesses outsource their talent through a third party and, as a result, they are guaranteed that the goal will be met, or the project will be completed, for a fixed price. With this model, the business will fully understand how much they are spending and have access to the right resources for the job.  While augmented staff and managed services provide unique staffing opportunities, some businesses may prefer to stick to traditional hiring. While these alternatives provide an array of benefits, hiring full-time staff also has its rewards. With full-time employees, these individuals begin to learn the ins-and-outs of your organization, its culture, its values, and so on. For some, the business knowledge and loyalty that comes with full-time staff are unmatched.   

Choosing What’s Right for Your Business

When it comes to deciding if the staff augmentation model is right for you, you may want to ask yourself a few questions. Is this a short-term project? How much money are we looking to put toward staffing for this project? Is this an urgent project? Does this project contain classified or confidential information? Although staff augmentation provides companies with an easy route to project success, whether you choose to pursue staff augmentation or not will depend on your business's specific needs.   Reach out to our team at Bull City Talent Group for further guidance on the staff augmentation model.

With the effects of the tech talent shortage and the Great Resignation still lingering throughout the industry, it is increasingly important for businesses to prioritize the career advancement of their employees. Ensuring the growth and success of your employees is key to an ideal work environment and something that candidates continue to seek out in their employers. As such, employees' expectations have shifted over time and businesses must stay on top of these demands. In supporting the career goals of your employees, you are not only showing them that you truly care, but you are also helping them stay motivated on the job.  Below, we outline three ways your organization can support career advancement.    

How to Best Support Career Advancement 

 

Take interest in your employees’ career goals, passions, and interests.

The first step to supporting your employees' career advancement is by taking interest in their goals. The easiest way to ensure this is through reoccurring check-ins between managers and their team members from day one. With this time set aside, you can help them define a clear path and plan as they work towards their goal(s). After all, self-awareness is key to growth. These check-ins can also serve as progress points to manage milestones or measure achievements. Ultimately, it is nearly impossible to support your employees' career growth without first understanding their goals, passions, and interests and keeping an open line of communication.   

Create an always-learning culture.

An always-learning culture is crucial in order to support career growth. Whether it be through training and development or upskilling and reskilling, employees should have access to opportunities to expand their skillsets and knowledge. After all, 87% of professionals reported career growth and developmental opportunities as important to them in a job. An effective internal mobility and career growth strategy shows that you value your employees’ professional goals with a concrete system, promoting overall loyalty and retention within your organization.   

Promote work-life balance.

Above all, supporting career advancement means supporting your employees and their needs. Hard work is required to advance your career, but work-life balance is more important. Especially after the pandemic shifted work to a remote environment, the line between work and home life began to blur for many. Consequently, recent data found that 72% of job seekers find work-life balance an important factor to consider when on the job hunt while 57% believe a poor work-life balance is a dealbreaker altogether. Encourage your team to work hard and efficiently, but also support much-needed time off and prioritize mental health.    

Conclusion 

The importance of supporting your employees' career growth and internal mobility cannot be discounted as the benefits are plenty; it improves retention, increases engagement and loyalty, and even acts as a recruiting tool. Taking an interest in your employee’s career goals, creating an always-learning culture, and promoting work-life balance are only three of the many ways you can support career advancement.

While few job applications nowadays require a cover letter, understanding how to end a cover letter is still a valuable skill to have. Like your résumé or LinkedIn page, your cover letter acts as a first impression. As such, a great cover letter can make a lasting impression and help you land your dream job. The purpose of a cover letter is simple: you want to sell yourself in a way that is honest yet catered to the interests and needs of the hiring manager.  The closing of your cover letter is arguably just as important as the body. Below, we outline what to include in your closing, along with some examples.   

Writing a Killer Closing

Throughout your cover letter, you should be touting your features (hard skills) and your benefits (soft skills). So, by the time you get to the closing, you need to make sure to sum up your strengths and experiences to emphasize how you are a good fit. Connect your assets to the specific role for which you are applying and remind the employer of the strengths you can bring to the job. Then, most importantly, thank them for their time and consideration, and include an action item.  Once you have written your killer conclusion, the process does not end there. Go back and review and proofread the entire letter. Some common pitfalls of a bad cover letter are a lack of focus, desperation, poor structure, bad grammar, and misspelt words, so you do not want to miss this step! Reading the letter aloud can also help you avoid these mistakes. Above all, pay close attention to detail and be confident, polite, and professional.    

Examples of Closings

 

Software Developer

“I strongly believe my experience in React, JavaScript, and Python over the past seven years can contribute to ABC’s success. I would love the opportunity to discuss this developer position further in the coming weeks. Thank you for your consideration.”
 

Project Manager

“I am eager to apply my extensive experience in project management to this opportunity to ensure its success. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you about my experience over the past decade.”
 

SAP Consultant

“My experience leading the implementation of SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fiori, and RISE with SAP over the past six years can help contribute to the success of ABC Agency. I’d love to discuss this opportunity and my SAP experience with you at [phone number and/or email address]. Thank you for your consideration.”
 

How to End a Cover Letter like a Pro

Ending a cover letter as a tech professional really boils down to remembering these three can’t-miss factors: be confident and polite, summarize and connect your skills to the specific role, and express gratitude. As long as you check these three boxes, you are headed in the right direction. The closing of your cover letter is your chance to seal the deal, so remember to be your authentic self while keeping these tips in mind.   For any additional questions related to cover letters, contact our team of expert recruiters at BCTG today. 
Over the past year, we have seen businesses across every industry find new ways to adapt and respond to ongoing global challenges – supply chain disruptions, talent and labor shortages, rising inflation, geopolitical instability, and more. At the core of many of these strategic planning sessions and discussions is the role and relevance of their IT departments. After almost three years of disruption and uncertainty, how are companies prioritizing their IT operations?   In late 2022, Clarkston Consulting conducted its annual CIO Market Study to better understand the current priorities and challenges of upper or C-Suite level IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies ($350M+ revenue) in the retail, consumer products, manufacturing, or life science industries.   Below, we have included four key takeaways from the 2023 CIO Survey.   

Key Takeaways

 

CIOs are most likely to invest in artificial intelligence in 2023.

The survey found that CIOs are most likely to invest in artificial intelligence (AI) at 35%, followed by robotic processes at 25% and data governance at 20%. Surely the investment in AI comes as no surprise as the topic has swarmed recent tech news especially regarding ChatGPT. AI and robotic processes both act as a means to streamline processes and increase efficiency in IT departments, while data governance is an area that all IT departments should prioritize for accurate data that enables better decision-making.   

Respondents consider their IT department collaborative with other departments.

It is no wonder that over half of respondents reported their IT department as collaborative. Although there is often a misconception that the tech industry is full of highly independent work, that is far from the truth. Projects that run in and out of the IT department often require a lot of moving parts and individuals. Good communication is one of the most sought-after soft skills for tech talent today, and the ability to communicate across your organization is crucial.   

CIOs are most likely to prioritize IT Operations and Management in 2023.

In 2023, CIOs are most likely to prioritize IT Operations and Management at 60%, followed by the implementation of new technologies. Additionally, respondents are most likely to allocate training resources to project management, programming/coding, and methodologies this year.   

When choosing outsourcing partners, demonstrated success, industry expertise, and trust ranked as most important.

Survey results found demonstrated success, industry and technical expertise, and trust as the most important factors when choosing outsourcing or managed services partners. Demonstrated success, price, and trust ranked as most important when choosing a professional services partner. In addition, two-thirds of respondents are outsourcing cloud services and half are outsourcing data backup/recovery.

It has been nearly three years since the coronavirus pandemic swept our nation, and as a result, the workplace as we knew it has changed forever. Individuals now work and interact in new ways – most of which are here to stay. For some, the pandemic and remote work has made them eager to return to a sense of normalcy, but others are wary of the health and social implications after being isolated for so long. Recent data found that only 56% of remote workers feel comfortable returning to the office. However, an additional survey found that 90% of companies plan to require employees to return to the office to some extent in 2023. Therefore, it is up to management to help ease the transition to in-person work and ensure that their employees are comfortable in their “new normal.”  

Remember to Respect Boundaries

The pandemic has forever shifted the way individuals interact with each other, and typical office etiquette has changed as well. Individuals on your team may feel uncomfortable shaking hands or standing and working closer than six feet to each other – and that is okay. To avoid any awkwardness, ask before overstepping any boundaries. “Would you like to shake hands?” or "Would you prefer to stand further apart?” are two ways to do so. In addition, depending on company policy, respect individuals’ decision to wear or not wear a mask. Ultimately, the easiest way to ensure you and your team are respecting each other's boundaries is to ensure an open line of communication and trust while validating their feelings.    

Provide Accommodations and Flexibility in Work Schedules

Depending on your company’s guidelines, some workers may need a flexible work schedule or environment. Provide accommodation for those who need it in their schedules, whether that be a hybrid work setup or extra time for those with a further commute or children, and be conscious that employees’ preferences for working have changed.    

Be Willing to Adapt Your Office Etiquette

As you return to the office, remember that the situation is subject to change. Consistently check in with your team to gauge their comfort levels and be ready to pivot if necessary. At the end of the day, the future of work is uncertain, but the importance of prioritizing your employees will last forever.

As the world’s leading integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, SAP has been widely adopted by small, midsized, and large enterprises as the digital backbone of their organization. With a robust set of base functionalities across finance, supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, sales, human resources, quality management, warehouse management, etc., it’s no surprise that 99 of the 100 largest companies in the world run on SAP. For companies across industries and of various sizes, the need for digitalization and streamlined processes is apparent. From improving operational efficiency to accelerating workflows to centralizing data management processes, implementing SAP helps companies run more profitably, efficiently, and sustainably. Implementing SAP, however, can be a considerable investment in time, money, and resources. Whether you’re going to implement SAP this year or in the near future, it’s important to start the budgeting conversation sooner rather than later.  Below, we outline some considerations to account for when thinking through ways to budget for SAP.  

Considerations for How to Budget for SAP

 

Look at licensing options. 

With the rapid growth of the cloud, most technology companies have or are moving to a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, and SAP is no different. While perpetual licenses are still available, most new SAP clients have moved to a subscription-based model.    To put it in simpler terms, SAP’s licensing options are like getting a new car. A perpetual license would be the equivalent of buying the car outright, where you pay a one-time fee to purchase the licenses. With perpetual licenses, your organization owns and is responsible for any ongoing maintenance – you also have more control over your system and can carry the licenses as an asset on your books. However, in the long-term, you can expect higher maintenance to upkeep the system.    Subscription-based licenses would be the equivalent of leasing the car. With subscription-based licenses, your organization is paying for the rights to use SAP but doesn’t own the software. This option tends to be a cheaper option for most organizations with an annual cost, as it requires less infrastructure and has lower maintenance costs because SAP is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep.   

Look at deployment options. 

In addition to the different licensing options, SAP offers different ways to deploy its solution. There are three ways SAP can be deployed: on-premise, multi-tenant (public) cloud, and single-tenant (private) cloud. On-premise deployments are largely only for perpetual licensing. With this type of deployment, you would deploy SAP on data centers owned by your organization. This option requires a large amount of infrastructure and up-front cost and effort to just start the implementation. As such, we’re seeing many new SAP clients move to the cloud.  The other option includes both variations of a cloud deployment. Public cloud is the closest to a traditional SaaS model, where your instance of SAP is hosted on infrastructure that is shared with multiple SAP clients and not just your organization. Public cloud is traditionally the most cost-effective option, but system upgrades and patches are automatically pushed out quarterly, and for companies that are required to have validated systems, this would mean dedicating time, money, and resources to quarterly validation efforts.   Private cloud lands somewhere between the middle of public cloud and on-premise, where you have the benefits of a cloud solution with some of the control of on-premise. With a private-cloud/single-tenant deployment, SAP is hosted in the cloud, but the infrastructure isn’t shared with any other organizations. This allows your organization to have more control over when patches and updates are deployed to your instance.   

Talk to your finance team about OPEX vs. CAPEX.

It’s important to consider how SAP will affect your overall expenses for tax and reporting purposes. Whether or not you can consider your SAP project under OPEX or CAPEX expenses heavily relies on the type of licensing you purchase. As stated earlier, if you go with a perpetual license, your organization will be able to treat those licenses as an asset. With a subscription-based model, you will be paying an annual fee which will be an operating expense.     

Consider implementation expenses as well as ongoing maintenance costs. 

While some organizations may elect to implement SAP on their own, most do so with help of an SAP system integrator. When determining the total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI), it’s important to include the costs associated with implementing the system. In addition to the costs associated with the implementation, long-term support and maintenance should also be included in TCO and ROI calculation. These costs, like many aspects of SAP, are largely determined by the type of licensing and hosting you buy. For example, in SAP RISE, SAP and Hyperscalers will cover the technical side of maintenance, but an Application Managed Services (AMS) provider will be needed for functional- or project-based needs. If you have perpetual licenses, the hosting and maintenance costs are consumed by the client instead of being included in RISE.  When budgeting for an SAP project, companies must remember to account for both the upfront costs of implementation and any potential future costs of system maintenance to get a holistic and more accurate view of your TCO and ROI.   

Determine if you’ll add new roles or reallocate resources to backfill them.

As you consider your overall costs, don’t forget about the people involved. With perpetual licensing, you’ll need more resources (people, time, money) to manage services after implementation. If this is the route you’re taking, will you need to add new roles to your team, or can you reallocate resources to backfill them? If so, it’s essential to have strong organizational change management strategies in place to mitigate any resistance and ensure seamless integration. With the subscription license, certain maintenance services are part of your package, resulting in fewer overhead costs, but you will still need to understand the impacts to your organization and if personnel need to be added or if third-party support is required.    

Begin conversations with SAP partners.

As you begin to budget for an SAP implementation, it’s vital that you include an SAP partner in your initial planning discussions, sooner rather than later. An effective SAP partner can help guide you through the process and expected costs, including those implementation costs and any potential longer-term costs. You’ll absolutely need this information to better estimate the total cost of ownership, which will be helpful to present to your board or C-suite for budget approval.   For more information on ways to budget for SAP, contact our team at Bull City Talent today.   This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Clarkston Consulting.

When it comes to initiatives shaping the corporate realm, workplace wellness trends fall at the top of the list. As we continue to navigate the post-Covid landscape, businesses’ and candidates’ priorities have shifted, and the physical and mental wellness of employees is paramount. From feelings of stress and burnout to trouble with work-life balance, individuals are advocating for help from their higher-ups. Ultimately, workplace wellness is more than just a physical consideration; making it part of your organization’s core values can increase productivity, happiness, performance, and more. As you continue to explore your organization's wellness program, consider the following workplace wellness trends for 2023.   

Workplace Wellness Trends to Consider in 2023

 

Mental Health

It is apparent that the mental health of the general population has declined since the start of the pandemic. From feelings of anxiety and stress to loneliness and isolation, many Americans have and continue to struggle with their mental health. Based on a survey from the summer of 2021, 41% of respondents reported experiencing anxiety in the past year alone. As a result, businesses continue to invest in mental health and well-being programs. Clarkston Consulting’s 2023 CIO Survey found that 96% of respondents have invested in the mental health space, up from 67% last year. While the presence of anxiety and stress is slowly dropping after the peak of the pandemic, organizations should continue to invest in the mental health of their employees.   

Stress Management

Stress management has been common in corporate programs for years. However, whether it be the lasting impacts of the pandemic, the labor shortage, or never-ending pay cuts, Americans’ stress levels continue to rise. No matter what is causing the stress, providing your employees with avenues to manage their stress levels, such as through an employee resource group or instituting quiet days, can help ensure a healthy workplace environment.

Job candidates often shy away from negotiating their salaries and raises. In fact, 18% of people have never negotiated their salaries and 44% haven’t asked for a raise. This is even worse for women who rarely attempt to negotiate their first salary relative to men. The current job market and economy, however, make IT labor extremely valuable. This gives candidates a leg up in raising their wages. Below, we highlight key considerations and strategies for job candidates when negotiating their salaries.   

Negotiation Strategies

 

Know the Facts

Candidates should come prepared with current salary ranges for their role. If the industry has shown tremendous wage growth since first being hired, employees can make a case that they are being underpaid. For new hires, understanding what similar firms are paying provides a solid foundation for expectations.    

Present Yourself

It is far more likely for a boss to agree on a raise for those who are good at their job and well-liked amongst the team. More generally, being kind in any negotiation may help the other party be more receptive to demands. Additionally, projecting confidence through tone and body language can be vital to starting dialogue positively. Ultimately, the image that a candidate presents can reinforce a positive narrative and help win the case for negotiating a higher salary.   

Practice

Running through your pitch at least once before the meeting can go a long way. This may mean preparing answers for follow-up questions, knowing exactly what you’re hoping to accomplish, and being able to explain why you deserve it. Just like candidates practice for the interview, they should also practice for the salary negotiation.   

Prepare Questions

Negotiations in any context often involve a bit of psychology. A large aspect of this comes into play with asking the right questions. When first presented with a salary, candidates can ask, “how did you calculate this number?” If their reasoning is shaky, a follow-up question may involve the salary range which was found during pre-meeting research. Candidates should do their research and be prepared for any potential follow-up questions during the negotiation.   

Know When Enough is Enough

There comes a point when pushing harder can be risky or even result in an offer being withdrawn. Never negotiate so hard that the other party loses respect for you. A marginal difference may not be worth upsetting a hiring manager. Ultimately, there is a fine line between being firm and pushing too hard. It may be smart to practice negotiating with a friend or colleague who is willing to give honest feedback.   

Conclusion

Lastly, candidates should absolutely ask if an offer is even negotiable. It would not be good to begin negotiating by assumption. Additionally, everything that is agreed upon in a meeting should be finalized in writing to ensure that the change occurs. Negotiating a salary can be scary, but with the proper strategies and practice it can also be very rewarding.  For any questions related to negotiating your salary, reach out to our team of recruiters at BCTG.    Contributions from Jake Park-Walters
In today's fast-paced and changing technological world, having technical skills and knowledge is no longer enough to attract organizations to your résumé. In recent years, soft skills have also become increasingly important. A LinkedIn study showed that out of talent acquisition professionals, 92% reported that soft skills are more or equally important when hiring than hard skills. Soft skills highlight the importance of effective communication, teamwork, and problem solving in virtual and in-person environments. Additionally, the emergence of technological advancements and introduction into new industries require individuals to possess unique talent. Candidates need to go into the job market knowing what companies are looking for and showcasing more than just their technical talent. Here are some of the most sought-after soft skills in the workplace going into 2023.  

Soft Skills in the Workplace 

 

Adaptability 

Organizations value adaptability as it ensures that their employees will be resilient and versatile through changing market, economic, and workplace conditions. These employees are confident that their organization will remain competitive and adaptable when challenged. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, projects tend to be unpredictable and often change from remote to in-person, so companies value employees that are equipped to work in both environments and comfortable when plans change. In an IT specific environment, employers want candidates that can adapt when programs lack compatibility or there are technical issues in their original strategy. Adaptability allows companies to overcome obstacles and remain productive even in unideal circumstances.   

Emotional Intelligence (EI)

Individuals with high EI are valuable to employers because they can empathize with others and respond to their specific needs in a professional and appropriate manner. EI is essential for leadership, conflict management and resolution, and teamwork. In fact, companies value emotional intelligence over IQ, with a study reporting that 71% of employers value emotional intelligence in an employee over IQ. IT professionals, like in any other industry, may deal with issues in the office space, so having EI to approach these conflicts and help employees will be valuable. EI is a crucial characteristic for group projects as team members are likely to interact and disagree; therefore, EI will help facilitate communication more smoothly and problem solve within a team setting.    

Creative Problem-Solving 

Creative problem-solving is a sought-after skill specifically with today's unforeseen economic challenges and innovative technologies. Critical thinking has always been important in a business environment, but creative problem-solving furthers typical brainstorming by enabling individuals to think outside the box and produce unique solutions. According to an Outlook survey, more than 60% of employers reported they are seeking evidence of their abilities to solve problems when vetting a candidate. Undoubtedly, there will be a tech error of some sort during an important business moment, like presenting to a client or pitching to your boss. It’s crucial to have out-of-the-box thinkers when these issues arise. Creative problem solving can help overcome unpredictable obstacles and lead to improved outcomes. Having a creative mindset while critically thinking can make you extremely valuable to an organization.   

Time Management and Multitasking 

The skills above are great to have and valuable to organizations; however, time-management and multitasking drives productivity. You can be great at creative problem solving or adaptability but without the ability to organize your time effectively it renders your other skills useless. These skills allow you to prioritize tasks while staying within deadlines, along with creating a healthy, balanced relationship between the workplace and home life. Specifically in IT positions, employees will push their advanced coding or technical issues on to you, so being able to work through them in a timely manner is critical. Timely and productive individuals thrive in the workplace and contribute to the organization's overall accomplishments.    

Conclusion

As we enter 2023, candidates should expect employers to not only look for their technical talent and experience but also to their ability to communicate, manage time, be flexible, and work in teams. In fact, not having soft skills can be a deal breaker with 89% of talent recruiters reporting it usually is due to a lack of soft skills when a hire doesn’t work out. Through developing and highlighting your specific soft talents, individuals can become successful and accomplished in their organization.  For more information on leveraging these must-have soft skills in the workplace or landing your dream tech job, contact our team at BCTG.    Contributions from Leah Harding

As an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, SAP’s most basic function is to assist businesses with various daily processes in one integrated system. Much of its appeal resides in the customizability by industry, subindustry, and specific company tasks.    With 92% of the Fortune Global 2000 Companies list utilizing SAP and 77% of global transaction revenue coming into contact with it, it’s clearly omnipresent in industries. This widespread application means that the true capabilities of the software surpass what most companies need. Consequently, understanding SAP can be a challenge.    

An Overview of SAP Offerings

To begin to understand SAP, we must start with the broadest lens. There are different SAP core offerings, or architectures, which provide the foundation for what the software can do. These include SAP ECC (which is synonymous with SAP ERP), HANA, and S/4 HANA, and each has their own capabilities. A simple way to view them may be as successive software updates similar to how a phone upgrades with iOS 14, 15, and 16.   SAP ECC or ERP is the longest standing SAP architecture. Its primary distinction from other SAP offerings is that it functions on a third-party database. SAP HANA was a more recent addition to the architecture lineup. In contrast to ECC, it itself is an in-memory database which is typically paired with S/4 HANA to help run business applications much faster than ECC. While HANA can be used to run business applications by itself to limit disruption during migration to S/4 HANA, it’s typically a transitive platform.    S/4 HANA is the most recent architecture. It’s essentially an overhauled version of ECC that runs on HANA or the HANA Cloud Platform, which stores data virtually. This means that businesses utilizing S/4 HANA can expect fewer technical issues, speedier run times, and a host of new features. SAP S/4 HANA can also be displayed on a new web-based interface called Fiori.    

Diving Deeper into SAP

Now that we understand these, we can become more specific when saying that architectures run business applications. SAP offers a Business Suite composed of various modular applications that perform different business processes. For example, there are modules for financial accounting, manufacturing, procurement, sales, human resources, marketing, and plenty more. It’s important to understand that each architecture may not possess each module, especially for legacy systems like ECC.    SAP modules can become more manageable by being divided into submodules. For example, the Financial Accounting module (FI) can be subdivided into General Ledger, Accounts Receivable and Payable, Travel Management, and so on. Companies can pick and choose what is important for them and thus manage end-to-end business processes all in one place.   To gain a deeper understanding of SAP offerings across industries, reach out to the BCTG team.    This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Crescense.

In the current candidate-favoring job market, it is not uncommon for candidates to apply for multiple positions while on the job search. As such, remembering that you are not always a candidate's number one pick is key throughout the hiring and interviewing process – and as a result, you might get “ghosted.”  Ghosting is the act of unexpectedly cutting communication without any clarification. This can be time-consuming and wasteful to hiring managers because they spent unreciprocated time and resources on a candidate. There are many reasons a recruiting or hiring team can be ghosted, such as the candidate being disinterred in moving forward; however, it is important to make sure a candidate’s ghosting is handled professionally and with minimal disruption to the current candidate search process. Hiring managers need to prioritize communication and transparency to minimize their risk of getting ghosted and be trained on what to do when it happens.   

Why Are You Being Ghosted?

First, it is important to examine why you might be ghosted. Of course, the candidate may ghost you because they have accepted another offer or lost interest in the role at hand. While these factors are not always preventable, there are ways to minimize the risk of ghosting. Some reasons why employers are ghosted are because of poor communication or a poor interviewing process, or the candidate feeling misled or receiving unexpected news. In fact, 29% of candidates report they ghosted an organization because the recruiter or hiring manager took too long to get back to them and 23% say the job wasn’t what they expected. Being ghosted results in a loss of resources, so employers need to focus on communication and transparency during the hiring process to decrease their risk of being ghosted.    

What to Do if it Happens

Unfortunately, companies might be ghosted if a candidate decides to accept another offer and does not provide any type of warning or communication. However, how do you know you are being ghosted – is the candidate missing your emails, or have they simply lost interest? Below, we outline a few best practices and considerations for hiring mangers when it comes to dealing with a candidate who may or may not have ghosted you:    

Communicate Well and in a Timely Manner

Making sure you respond to candidates within an appropriate time frame is important, as a lack of timely responses is a very good reason for a candidate to ghost you. It is also important to craft a message that will require a clear response from the candidate. For example, “I’m free to chat at 2 o'clock on Tuesday, does that work for you?” If you still haven't received an answer, consider sending them a text. With today's pool of younger candidates, sometimes email is not the best method of contact. Emails can get lost in a sea of junk and spam messages, so if you feel your candidate has taken too long to respond, shooting them a text can get that message through much faster.     

Prioritize Your Qualified Applicants

Wasting time and resources is never good for an organization, so it's important to prioritize certain applicants, and focus on the candidates best fit for the job. This is especially true as there is a risk of candidates ghosting you. Continually reaching out to a candidate that didn’t seem like an amazing fit for the position or didn’t seem eager for the role is not worth the effort. As such, if a candidate has ghosted the organization in the past, it is key to keep a record of no-shows for the future. If they didn’t value your time the first time around, chances are that they will do it again. Save your future time and resources, and record occurrences of ghosting.    

Cut your Losses

If the candidate still ignores you after reaching out again and constructing a message that requires a response, it's best to cut your losses. First, accept that they are simply not responding and not that they haven't gotten your messages. After coming to that conclusion, it's important to move on in the process, cut your losses, and invest your time and resources into finding the next candidate.   

Conclusion

Ghosting can be an inconvenient and annoying experience for hiring managers and talent recruiters. However, it's important to handle it professionally and move on. By minimizing your risk of being ghosted through improving your hiring process, and following the steps above, ghosting should be only a slight hiccup in your recruitment strategy. Finding the right candidate is crucial to organizations, and ghosting is often a part of that process – as such, it is best to be prepared and know how to handle it when it happens.  For more hiring best practices or guidance, contact our team at BCTG today.    Contributions from Leah Harding
The consumer products industry includes subindustries such as fast-moving consumer goods, food and beverage, health and beauty, wholesale, and more. Many of the solutions offered by SAP, however, apply to all industries.  Below, we touch on some of the specific solutions that SAP can provide consumer products companies.   

SAP Solutions for Consumer Products

 

SAP Responsible Design and Production 

This application provides tools for designing and implementing more sustainable goods. Specific uses include easy calculations for extended producer responsibility (EPR) fees, plastic taxes, and corporate commitments in addition to a lifecycle view of costs. With the rise of sustainability as an important factor in the consumer mindset, companies must prioritize their own sustainable initiatives. As such, SAP enables companies to easily manage and track their environmental responsibilities.      

SAP Logistics Business Network 

SAP's Logistics Business Network connects trade partners for managing logistics transactions, document exchanges, and general transparency. Crucially, it centralizes all trade partners in one central and unified place. The growing separation of business partners as supporting technologies like 5G arise means that companies must centralize and streamline business networks. SAP allows firms to maintain and improve communication with important partners.    

SAP Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) 

This financial application centralizes financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting. Additionally, interactive visualizations can be created for ease of understanding and presentation. In the midst of severe economic uncertainty following the coronavirus pandemic, businesses must be more prepared to deal with unexpected financial strains than ever. SAP’s software consolidates one of a business’s most important internal tasks and can enable better decisions to be made in case of tumultuous events like recessions.    To learn more about SAP solutions for consumer products companies, contact us today at Bull City.    This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Crescense.

While the life sciences industry may encompass a broad range of subindustries from pharmaceuticals to biomedical engineering, many of the applicable modules are similar.  Below, we touch on some of the specific solutions that SAP can provide life science companies.   

SAP Solutions for Life Sciences

 

RISE with SAP 

RISE with SAP provides customers with complete business transformation as a service (BTaaS) in a single package. At its core are SAP S/4HANA Cloud, business process intelligence, technology credits, and more. With RISE with SAP, SAP is responsible for the holistic service-level agreement, cloud operations, and technical support.    

SAP Process Control & SAP Risk Management 

These offerings automate compliance, control, and risk analysis to assist with global regulatory compliance. This includes processes like international trade management, controls and compliance management, automated monitoring and screening, audit management, and enterprise risk management. As an automated management software, SAP helps companies mitigate logistics challenges, like those that stemmed from the COVID-19 pandemic.   

SAP Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management 

SAP Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management allows businesses to manage commercial projects, portfolios, and project resources in the same place. The increasing complexity of modern business tasks, especially as technologies like 5G allow distinct business functions to be housed separately, means that there needs to be centralized software for managing all projects. SAP makes it easy for firms to unite all ongoing tasks within one virtual platform.  

SAP Clinical Trial Supply Chian Management

This application automates clinical supplies processes as well as global supplies statuses for increased efficiency, real-time visibility, and flexibility. Global supply chain issues are affecting the life sciences industry as a result of COVID-19. Increased visibility and efficiency on clinical supplies logistics via SAP’s platform allow for companies to gain an edge over competitors.   

SAP SuccessFactors 

This application streamlines human resource processes. It can be used to manage compensation, learning and training, employee satisfaction, performance and goals, hiring, and talent retention. Talent shortages across the life sciences industry prove the need for capable HR software. SAP allows companies to hire and retain the employees needed for operational success.     

Clarkston’s Cellular Therapy Orchestration (CTOP) 

This application, built atop SAP’s digital core technology, and owned by Clarkston Consulting, can be used for patient scheduling for apheresis, manufacturing, and infusion. It tracks the full life cycle of the process, from patient scheduling to collection, transit to clinic and infusion.  

SAP’s Batch Release Hub 

This solution enables life sciences companies to make data-based batch release decisions with lean, efficient, and streamlined processes, leading to reduced effort and risk in complying with life sciences regulations.  For more information on SAP solutions for life sciences companies, reach out to our team at BCTG.    This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Crescense.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are software solutions that help organizations of all sizes manage and automate their core business processes. ERP systems, like SAP, offer a wide range of advantages that can help organizations improve their efficiency, productivity, and profitability through financial management, supply chain management, customer relationship management, and more. Below, we discuss some of the key advantages of ERP systems as you explore whether an implementation is right for your business.   

6 Advantages of ERP Systems

 

Improved efficiency and productivity 

One of the primary advantages of ERP systems is that they can streamline business processes and significantly improve the efficiency and productivity of an organization. ERP systems automate many of the routine and repetitive tasks that are part of everyday operations, such as data entry, record-keeping, and report generation. As ERP systems integrate various functions into a single system, they eliminate the need for multiple systems and reduce data duplication. This automation also frees up employees' time to focus on more value-added activities that can drive business growth and profitability.   

Increased visibility and control 

ERP systems provide organizations with increased visibility and control over their business operations, as they integrate data from various departments and provide a centralized platform for managing and analyzing this data. This allows decision-makers to make informed decisions based on accurate, real-time information.   

Enhanced collaboration and communication 

Most ERP systems facilitate collaboration, teamwork, and communication amongst an organization as individuals can share data more effectively. With a centralized database, employees can access the same data, which eliminates the need for multiple versions of documents and reduces the risk of errors. ERP systems also provide a platform for seamlessly communicating and sharing information across departments and locations, which helps to streamline processes and improve overall efficiency.   

Reduced costs 

Next, ERP systems can help organizations save money. By automating routine tasks, organizations can reduce the need for manual labor, which can result in lower labor costs. Additionally, ERP systems can help manage inventory levels, reduce waste, and optimize supply chain processes, which can lead to lower inventory costs and improved cash flow. ERP systems can also help businesses reduce the number of errors made in their daily processes, preventing costly and time-consuming mistakes.    

Fine-tuned customer service 

By integrating customer data into the ERP system, organizations can track customer interactions and history, which can be used to personalize customer interactions and improve the customer experience. With accurate data, customer service representatives can consider user preferences to address concerns promptly. Additionally, ERP systems can help organizations manage inventory levels and supply chain processes, ensuring that products are delivered on time and in good condition.   

Refined data management & strengthened decision-making 

The centralized database provided by ERP systems allows organizations to store, manage, and access their data from a single location. This ensures that all the data is up-to-date and accurate, which is essential for making informed business decisions. As such, organizations can easily track their inventory, orders, and financial transactions. With real-time access to data and analytics, organizations can make informed, data-driven decisions, quickly identifying problems, and access ongoing and future risks.   

Final Thoughts

ERP systems offer a wide range of advantages that can help organizations of all sizes improve their efficiency, productivity, and profitability. By providing real-time access to data, automating business processes, and enhancing collaboration and communication, ERP systems can help organizations stay competitive and achieve their overarching business goals.  To learn more about the advantages of ERP systems, reach out to our team at BCTG today.

Mid-sized companies often face unique challenges when it comes to managing their business operations. They may not have the resources or infrastructure of larger companies, but they still need to be agile and responsive to changing market demands to stay competitive. This is where GROW with SAP can help.  

What is GROW with SAP?

In 2021, SAP announced RISE with SAP, a solution to help businesses with their digital transformation. SAP has now announced the launch of GROW with SAP, a new offering utilizing their core cloud-ERP platform tailored for mid-sized companies. GROW with SAP leverages SAP S/4HANA public edition embedded with industry best practices to provide a more cost-effective growth platform for mid-sized organizations. While we are certain to learn more in the coming days, we have outlined some key benefits organizations can expect to see with GROW with SAP below.   

What are the Key Benefits of GROW with SAP for Mid-Sized Organizations?

 

Streamlined operations

GROW with SAP offers an integrated suite of cloud-based applications that can help mid-sized companies streamline their operations. The solution provides end-to-end visibility into all aspects of the business, from supply chain management to customer service. This allows companies to identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks in their operations and take corrective action to improve their overall performance.   

Improved decision-making

GROW with SAP leverages SAP S/4HANA public edition, which has embedded advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms to provide mid-sized companies with insights into their business operations. This allows companies to make informed decisions based on data-driven insights, enabling them to drive growth and profitability.   

Enhanced customer experience

GROW with SAP offers a range of features designed to enhance the customer experience. This includes personalized recommendations and advanced analytics that can help mid-sized companies understand their customers' needs and preferences. With this information, companies can tailor their products and services to meet the specific needs of their customers, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.   

Increased efficiency

GROW with SAP can help mid-sized companies improve their efficiency by automating routine tasks and optimizing their business processes. This frees up resources and allows companies to focus on strategic initiatives that can drive growth and profitability.   

Scalability

GROW with SAP is designed to grow with mid-sized companies. The solution can be customized to meet the unique needs of each company and can scale as the company grows. This allows mid-sized companies to take advantage of the latest technologies and innovations without having to invest in expensive infrastructure.   

Cost savings

GROW with SAP is a cloud-based solution, which means that mid-sized companies don’t have to invest in expensive hardware or software. This can lead to significant cost savings, allowing companies to invest in other areas of the business that can drive growth and profitability. Additionally, GROW with SAP utilizes a low-code SAP solution called SAP Build that allows for customization, app development, and automation without needing to invest heavily in additional tech talent.   

SAP's Solution for Mid-Size Companies

GROW with SAP presents a significant opportunity for mid-sized companies to invest in their enterprise technology and further demonstrates SAP’s continued growth in the mid-market space. GROW with SAP makes one of the top ERP platforms in the world more accessible to mid-sized organizations and provides a solution to help keep up in the fast-paced environment of today’s world and changing market demands.  If you’re interested in learning more about GROW with SAP and if it’s the right solution for you, our team is here to help.

Typically, many companies will reach out to candidates who look good on paper for a phone interview to determine if those applicants should advance to more in-depth interviews. This phone call may be with a recruiter, HR manager, or hiring manager—and sometimes, all three. With the right preparation and approach, phone interviews can be seen as an advantage to interviewees. Since phone interviews are where most job opportunities begin, follow our tips below on how to ace a phone interview, showcase your qualifications, and advance to the next step of the interview process.    

Tips on How to Ace a Phone Interview

 

Prepare and do your research

This interview is the company’s first impression of you, and it will be evident if you don’t know key facts about their company.  Be sure to prepare as you would for a formal, in-person interview. Look on their company website, social media, LinkedIn, and current news for information on the company culture, the specific position you are interviewing for, as well as the person who will be conducting the interview. Preparation will greatly differentiate you as a strong candidate compared to an unprepared one.  Be sure to review common interview questions as well as conduct research on this company’s specific interview process. Having answers prepared to common questions you may be asked will help you in the moment to sound confident and competent. Additionally, prepare three to four good questions to ask your interviewer about the company culture, position, or challenges to help convey your interest in the opportunity and provide you with more insight on whether or not you want the job.  Side note: Before the call, be sure to confirm all the details including the date, time (and time zone!)  and who you will be talking to. Be sure you know whether the interviewer is calling you or if you need to make the call, and have an email address of the interviewer in case the call drops.  

Make a cheat sheet

The biggest advantage of a phone interview is that you can use notes rather than relying solely on memory. This eliminates the risk of freezing up or fumbling words during the interview due to nerves. Print out a copy of your resume as well as notes on the company, a list of your qualifications and job-specific skills, and questions you may have for the interviewer. It is crucial to practice with these notes before and only use them as necessary rather than read them like a script.   

Practice

Calling with peers can help to manage tone and volume, check connection, and rehearse how you want to execute the interview. During your practices, pay attention to the pace you’re speaking at and how clearly you are articulating your words. During the interview itself, pace can quicken and make you harder to understand. You also want to be overly cognizant of cutting the interviewer off or rambling too much. Keep your stories concise and professional.   

Set up a professional environment

Use a quiet, comfortable space. Eliminate distractions and any chance of loud noises (dog barking, people talking, car honking, etc.) Make sure you have a strong connection, and that the phone call likely won’t drop or break up (even if the interviewer is calling from far away).  Have a glass of water nearby if you need it, and avoid gum chewing or eating as it will distract both you and the interviewer.  Have a notepad and pen handy to take notes of details the interviewer mentions during the interview about the position, process, and company overview. If you are moving forward, this will be valuable information to create questions later in the interview process or even at the conclusion of the phone call.   

Remember that body language still matters

If you are comfortable standing while talking, you can fill your lungs better and project your voice (which makes you sound confident). Avoid pacing if you can to eliminate distractions. One of the biggest mistakes you can make on a phone interview call is to not sound enthusiastic. Without an in-person first impression, you want to give a strong first impression over the phone and let them know you’re excited about this opportunity.  Remember to smile during the call even though they cannot see you. Smiling and good posture will project a positive image to the listener and will noticeably change the tone of your voice.   

Follow up

Be sure to send a follow up thanking the interviewer for their time and asking about next steps. This shows that you are passionate about the position and attentive. It also gives you the opportunity to remind them why you’re most qualified for the position. If you are unsure of how to word your follow-up professionally, there are many templates and examples available online to help you.

There is certainly a diversity of companies within the retail industry including grocery, eCommerce, apparel and footwear, and luxury.  Below, we touch on some of the specific solutions that SAP can provide retail companies.   

SAP for Retail

 

SAP S/4HANA Retail for Merchandise Management 

SAP’s flagship solution for retail can help retailers operating in any sub-sector of the industry solve their business challenges. Some key capabilities include providing real-time analytics to improve in-store operations and supply chain optimization. As shoppers have learned to expect a true omnichannel experience, it’s key for companies to maximize efficiency in their operations to meet that expectation. SAP enables companies to optimize in-person shopping experiences in order to encourage consumers to return.      

SAP Commerce Cloud 

This solution enables businesses to bolster eCommerce processes. AI-assisted recommendations and promotions create more personalized online shopping experiences for customers. ECommerce is an ever-growing segment of the retail industry. With the help of SAPs recommendations, companies can create distinct offerings that separate them from competitors.     

SAP Intelligent Returns Management 

This solution helps retailers improve efficiency and the overall customer experience with product returns leveraging AI assistance. Some of the potential benefits include maximizing margins on returns and increasing sustainability through reduced carbon emissions. The retail space is becoming even more saturated with returns as eCommerce grows. Managing these returns efficiently and sustainably with SAP can be an effective way to mitigate revenue loss from ailing brick-and-mortar locations.    Contact the BCTG team to learn more about SAP solutions for retail companies.    This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Crescense.

SAP is the most widely used enterprise software system that helps businesses manage their operations and processes in one overarching system. As companies increasingly rely on SAP to streamline their business operations, the demand for experienced and knowledgeable SAP consultants has grown significantly.   Below, we outline some best practices for recruiting SAP consultants.   

Best Practices

 

Understand the Role of SAP Consultants

SAP consultants play a vital role in ensuring the successful implementation and maintenance of SAP systems. They are typically responsible for designing, configuring, testing, and implementing SAP systems based on the business requirements of their clients. Additionally, SAP consultants may specialize in different focus areas, such as supply chain management or human resources.   

Identify the Skills and Experience Needed

When recruiting SAP consultants, it is essential to identify the skills and qualifications required to succeed in the role. In addition to having technical skills, such as experience with the software and programming languages, SAP consultants should also possess soft skills like problem-solving, communication, and teamwork. It is important to assess technical and soft skills during the recruitment process to find the most qualified candidates.   

Source Candidates

There are numerous ways to source consultants, including job boards, social media, referrals, and staffing agencies. Each method has its pros and cons, and it can be useful to use a combination of methods to build a strong talent pipeline. The best recruiters focus on building relationships with various consultants to ensure a steady supply of candidates.   

Interview Qualified Candidates

As aforementioned, it is crucial to assess the candidate's technical and soft skills during the interview process. SAP consultants should have experience in designing and implementing SAP systems, as well as excellent problem-solving and communication skills, for example. Recruiters must also evaluate the candidate's ability to work in a team and their adaptability to changing environments - especially for contract or contingent positions.   

Assess Cultural Fit

Considering cultural fit is key in hiring SAP consultants, as they will be working closely with the client's team. It is important to evaluate whether the candidate's values and work style align with the client's culture. As such, recruiters must make note of the candidate's ability to adapt to different work cultures and environments.    

Make the Offer

Once the recruiter has identified the right candidate, the next step is to make a compelling offer. A competitive compensation package is crucial in attracting and retaining top talent. Additionally, recruiters should clearly communicate the job responsibilities, benefits, and opportunities for growth during this stage of the process.   

Conclusion

Recruiting SAP consultants is a critical process that requires careful planning and execution, and by following these best practices, recruiters can identify and attract the best SAP talent for their clients.   With our extensive network and vast talent pool, the BCTG team focuses on finding the best talent for your needs. We are equipped with the skills and resources needed to meet your needs, ensuring that the consultants we bring forward become an extension of your team with the soft and hard skills required to succeed.   For any questions or assistance related to recruiting SAP consultants, contact us today.

An SAP staffing partner is a company that specializes in providing consultants, developers, and other professionals will high-level SAP knowledge on a temporary or permanent basis.

I've been researching your industry and found your website. I noticed a few issues that may be hindering your potential ranking on Google and your ability to generate online inquiries and sales. I've compiled a multi-page analysis of your website addressing all of these errors. Would you like my Director of Digital Marketing to send you a report? Either way, it is free of cost. It is my hope that he can discuss some of these findings in greater detail. Is there a good time for you to talk next week?

SAP SuccessFactors is a human resource management tool that allows businesses to store and manage their data on employees, recruitment, performance, compensation, learning, and development all in one system. As an HR representative, understanding SAP SuccessFactors can help you leverage the system to the best of your ability to streamline hiring and recruiting processes, increase organizational efficiencies, and make informed decisions to keep employees engaged.   

Key Features

The SuccessFactors system is designed to help HR professionals manage and track employee data across the entire organization from the recruiting and hiring process to retirement. Below we outline some of the key features of SAP SuccessFactors.   

Recruiting Management

SAP SuccessFactors allows you to create job postings, manage candidate applications, and more to keep up with the progress of recruitment and hiring. This feature helps HR representatives save time by automating tasks such as scheduling interviews and sending out job offers.   

Performance Management

With this system, HR representatives can manage employee performance and goals by tracking progress and providing feedback regularly. This feature helps to promote a culture of continuous improvement and encourages employees to develop their skills and competencies.   

Compensation Management

SuccessFactors allows HR representatives to regulate employee compensation by creating uniform salary and bonus plans, managing employee benefits, and more. This feature helps to ensure that employee compensation is fair and equitable.   

Learning and Development

On the learning and development front, HR representatives can not only oversee employee progress but can curate training opportunities or programs as well. This feature helps to ensure that employees are equipped with the skills they need to succeed, and it promotes a sense of learning and growth within the organization.   

Getting Started

To begin the process of integrating SAP SuccessFactors for your human resources management, representatives should take the following steps:   

1. Learn the Terminology.

SAP SuccessFactors has its own terminology, so it is important to learn the terms that are used in the system. Some common terms include "objectives" for performance management, "job requisitions" for recruiting, and "learning assignments" for learning and development.   

2. Get Familiar with the Navigation.

While the system has a user-friendly interface, it may take some time to get acquainted with the navigation. Take some time to explore the system and get comfortable with the different screens and functions.   

3. Set Up Your Profile.

To get the most out of SAP SuccessFactors, you will need to set up your user profile. This includes uploading a headshot, adding your personal information, setting your preferences, and selecting the modules that you will be using.   

4. Customize the System & Train Your Employees.

SuccessFactors can be customized to meet the specific needs of your organization, so organizations should work with their IT department to customize the system to their needs. Once the system is up and running, train your employees in how to use the system effectively and efficiently.   

Taking the Next Steps

At the end of the day, understanding SAP SuccessFactors is essential as it is an invaluable tool for human resources management. By understanding the system and its features, HR representatives can focus on what matters most - their employees.  If you are interested in implementing SAP SuccessFactors for your HR management, contact our SAP Staffing and Recruiting team for guidance.

SAP Advanced Business Application Programming (SAP ABAP) has been the programming language for SAP applications for decades and is a vital tool for developing custom applications, reports, and interfaces on top of the SAP system. Developers praise the language for its simplicity and ease of learning as well as its ability to run ERP applications. However, as technology continues to evolve, the future of SAP ABAP is becoming a hot topic of discussion within the SAP community.   

Modernizing SAP's Technology Stack 

The first thing to note is that SAP has been investing in modernizing its technology stack for a while. It has been pushing its cloud offerings like SAP Cloud Platform and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, and these platforms have different programming models that require different skill sets. SAP is also investing in open-source technologies such as Node.js and Python, suggesting that SAP is moving away from its traditional ABAP-centric approach.  However, ABAP is not going away anytime soon. The core of the SAP system is still written in ABAP, and it will continue to be the foundation of the system. Many businesses have invested heavily in ABAP and have custom applications that depend on it, so it is not feasible for SAP to abandon the language and force businesses to rewrite all of their custom applications.   

Upgrading SAP ABAP Features 

SAP has been actively developing new features and functionalities for ABAP, ensuring that it remains relevant in the current technology landscape. ABAP has been modernized to support modern programming paradigms like object-oriented programming (OOP), and SAP has been investing in ABAP tools like the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) to improve the productivity of developers. SAP has also been making efforts to integrate ABAP with other technologies. For example, SAP has integrated ABAP with SAP HANA, enabling developers to leverage the in-memory capabilities so they can write faster and more efficient code.   

Using Low-Code or No-Code Platforms 

Another trend in recent history is the use of low-code/no-code platforms, which are platforms that allow users to develop custom applications without the need for programming skills. SAP has also been investing in this space, as seen with the SAP Fiori solution, which allows users to develop custom applications using a drag-and-drop interface. This trend is not a threat to ABAP, but it does mean that businesses can develop custom applications without having to rely solely on ABAP developers.   

Preparing for the Future of SAP ABAP 

While it is impossible to predict, the future of SAP ABAP does not appear at risk, although it will continue to evolve. While SAP is investing in modernizing its technology stack or in low/no-code platforms, ABAP will continue to be the foundation of the SAP system, and its developers need to keep up with the changes. As ABAP skills will continue to be in demand, especially for businesses that have invested heavily in custom applications, developers need to be versatile and adapt to new technologies while continuing to enhance their skills.   To learn more, reach out to the BCTG team today. 
Sales planning is an essential part of running a successful business, and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a vital tool in streamlining that process. By creating sales forecasts, for example, sales planning can help organizations set achievable targets and allocate resources effectively. While SAP’s Sales and Distribution (SD) module has been the go-to solution for sales planning for many years, SAP SAC offers a modern and more efficient approach.    

Understanding SAP SAC

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a cloud-based analytics solution that integrates data from various sources and presents a unified view of an organization's data. SAC offers a comprehensive suite of tools for planning, reporting, and predictive analytics, making it easy for sales planners to create and manage their plans.   

The Sales Planning Process with SAP SAC

 

Curate the Plan

Sales planning with SAP SAC begins with curating a sales plan model that will be the foundation of the process with all the data needed. The sales plan model can be created by importing data from various sources, such as SAP ERP or Salesforce. Once the data is imported, the user can organize it into categories, such as product lines or sales channels.   

Create the Forecast

The next step is to create a sales forecast, and luckily, SAC provides various forecasting methods like exponential smoothing, moving averages, linear regression, and more. Users can choose the forecasting method that best suits their business needs or adjust the forecast manually.   

Set Targets

Once the forecast is created, the sales planner can use it to set sales targets at assorted levels, such as product lines or sales regions. SAC provides a simple interface to set targets and allows users to adjust targets based on market conditions or business priorities.   

Develop Strategies

The next step is to develop sales strategies to meet the previously set targets, and SAC is equipped with analytical tools to help users identify the key drivers of sales performance. Users also have the ability to slice and dice data in several ways, like by sales channel or product line, allowing users to identify the areas that need improvement and develop strategies to address those areas.   

Additional SAP SAC Features

Another key feature of SAP SAC is the ability to create what-if scenarios. This possibility allows users to test different strategies and assess the impact on performance. Additionally, SAC provides a comprehensive variety of reports and dashboards with real-time insights and high-level data to monitor performance and identify the areas that need improvement. This helps sales planners make informed decisions and develop strategies that are most likely to achieve the targets.   

Leveraging SAP SAC for Your Sales Planning

Ultimately, SAP SAC gives users a unique and proactive approach to sales planning. With its intuitive interface, sales planners can tackle their tasks with ease and efficiency. From creating the plan and forecast to developing targets and strategies, sales planning with SAP SAC is a process tailor-made for sales planners.

As more companies continue to adopt SAP S/4HANA as their choice for an ERP system, the demand for experienced consultants who can help implement, customize, optimize, and manage the software has skyrocketed. But what exactly should you expect from your SAP S/4HANA consultant? Below, we will explore the key responsibilities and skills of an SAP S/4HANA consultant, as well as some tips for choosing the right candidate for your organization.   

Skills to Look for in Your SAP S/4HANA Consultant

First and foremost, an ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the software. They should be able to navigate the various modules and functions of SAP S/4HANA, including finance, logistics, production planning, and more. They should also be able to configure the software to meet your organization’s unique requirements, whether that involves customizing fields, creating new reports, or integrating with other systems.  In addition to technical expertise, an SAP S/4HANA consultant should have strong project management skills. They should be able to lead your implementation project from start to finish, including creating a project plan, defining project scope, managing resources, and ensuring that milestones are met on time and on budget. They should also be able to communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the organization, from end users to senior executives.  A well-suited consultant will also train your employees in how to use the software effectively, not only providing hands-on training, but also developing user guides and other documentation. This ensures that your employees have the resources they need to get the most out of the solution. Ongoing support and troubleshooting as needed is also expected from the consultant.   

Choosing an SAP S/4HANA Consultant

When selecting an SAP S/4HANA consultant, in addition to the aforementioned skills, it is important to look for someone who has experience working with organizations like yours. This can include companies in your industry or of the same size, as well as those with similar business processes or challenges. As such, candidates should provide references from previous clients or employers who can attest to their expertise and professionalism.  It is also important to consider the consultant’s approach to working with your organization as well. Some consultants may take a more hands-off approach, simply providing guidance and recommendations for your in-house team to implement. Others may take a more hands-on approach, working closely with your team to configure the software with ongoing support. Which approach is right for your organization will depend on your specific needs and preferences.  Finally, it is important to assess the consultant’s fees and billing structure. Some consultants may charge a flat fee for their services, while others may bill by the hour or on a retainer basis. Be sure to clarify the billing structure up front to avoid any surprises later down the road.   

BCTG Can Help

Your SAP S/4HANA consultant should bring a combination of technical expertise, project management skills, training and support capabilities to your organization, and their past experience should reflect that of organizations similar to your own. It is also important to take note of the consultant’s approach to working, as well as their fees and billing structure, before taking the next steps. By carefully selecting an SAP S/4HANA consultant who meets these criteria, you can ensure a successful implementation. Our team of expert staffing and recruiting professionals can help make the process easy for you, just contact us and we can find a consultant that is right for you.

For businesses, choosing to hire a temporary SAP resource over a full-time worker usually boils down to two main factors: flexibility and cost efficiency. While your need is both temporary and immediate, it is good practice to look at this candidate as if they are applying for a full-time position. It is best to position your company as an industry trailblazer and highlight your company and workplace culture to draw in candidates. You will also want to prove to the candidates why your company is the best choice for them, before deciding whether they are the best choice for your company. When recruiting a temporary SAP resource on your own, you typically only have time to scan résumés, conduct brief interviews, and possibly run a few reference checks. This lack of depth available is exactly why staffing agencies, like BCTG, exist. Staffing agencies have vast networks that allow them to take a deep dive into potential candidates and ensure they are hiring the best fit. Typically, companies consult staffing agencies for their recruiting needs when they are looking to save time and money and streamline the hiring process. As a recruiter, it is your responsibility to understand the employer’s goals and what the ideal candidate will look like to achieve those goals. After all, recruiting is all about building relationships and finding the best candidates in a specialized and proactive manner.  As a temporary SAP resource, you are not only filling an immediate need, but you are expected to have all the necessary skills – and if you do not, you must be a quick learner. Contingent workers are typically sought out when a company is looking to save time and money, so be mindful of that and only apply to positions for which you qualify. After all, the company is looking for the best fit for the positions, and it is on you to ensure that you are that candidate. Whether you are a business considering recruiting and hiring a temporary SAP resource or are a candidate yourself, download the full piece below.

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a cloud-based analytics tool that helps different organizations to combine, analyze, and visualize their data. In today's market, SAP enables its clients to connect to various sources of data, including SAP and non-SAP data sources, and it is an all-in-one software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based product that allows companies to perform advanced analysis, data modeling, and predictive analysis. When looking at the current retail, consumer products, and manufacturing industries, you will quickly notice that there has been a growing need for data-driven solutions. When it comes to an increasing demand for data-driven decision making, SAP Analytics Cloud consultants can help implement SAC and utilize its features to gain important insights through data. As businesses continue to grow and expand, there has been an increased need to digitalize their operations and that is where SAP SAC consultants come in. An SAP Analytics Cloud consultant can help to implement, customize, and optimize SAP’s cloud analytics to provide powerful data visualization allowing businesses to gain deeper insights into their data and make more informed decisions.  Below, we discuss the ideal background and experience of an SAP Analytics Cloud consultant as you consider recruiting one for your needs.   

The Ideal Background and Experience of an SAP SAC Consultant

 

Technical Skills

Technical expertise is an integral requirement for an SAP Analytics Cloud consultant. The consultant must have in-depth knowledge of the SAC platform while being proficient in working with different environments like SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW (Business Warehouse), as these are some of the primary sources of data for SAC. The consultant should also be familiar with data warehousing and have some knowledge around other non-SAP data sources such as Excel, CSV, and SQL databases. Having experience and a strong understand of SQL, as well as different scripting languages like Python, is crucial for data modeling, data transformation, and automation of workflows in SAC. Background and experience in BI (Business Intelligence) tools such as Tableau or Power BI can also help when it comes to designing and developing reports and dashboards that provide detailed insights through data.   

Project Management Skills

An SAP Analytics Cloud consultant should have experience in managing projects in different environments, including planning, design, development, testing, and deployment. Additionally, they should have excellent communication skills that can easily tie into becoming a successful candidate. This can include experience communicating with clients, cross-functional teams, and management. They should be able to clarify and clearly articulate requirements for the project, along with goals and risks. Identifying potential risks before they occur is a vital skill to have, and ensuring that all project changes are communicated, documented, and managed is an important part of analysis as a cloud consultant.   

Industry Experience

If a company is looking for industry specific expertise in a cloud consultant, they should focus on finding someone who is familiar with challenges and opportunities in the industry they are working in. For example, a retail consultant should have experience in analyzing sales data, inventory data, and customer data to drive sales. This specific retail industry experience can help to develop solution-driven results for clients. Companies should focus on hiring an SAP SAC consultant with expertise related to their industry, business operations, and unique needs. Candidates with multiple industry and domain backgrounds such as finance, manufacturing, retail, or healthcare can be applied to developing analytics solutions across sectors that can provide actionable insights for your business.    

Finding an SAP SAC Consultant That Is Right for You

An ideal SAP Analytics Cloud consultant candidate should have industry expertise with a combination of technical, business intelligence, project management, and communication skills. With such skills, the consultant can help the organization reach data-driven solutions within SAP Analytics Cloud, achieve their targeted goals, and provide valuable insights to their clients.   If you want to learn more about the future of SAP SAC and its impact on your business, please visit our website at Bull City Talent Group or contact the team directly.    Contributions from Prapti Roy

As companies increasingly rely on SAP software to manage their operations, the demand for skilled SAP ABAP developers has skyrocketed. While The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not have specific data for SAP ABAP developers, the outlook for all software developers is at an increase of 21% from 2018 to 2028, and in the United States alone, there are currently over 1,000 open SAP ABAP developer positions via LinkedIn. These professionals are responsible for developing, testing, and maintaining custom applications within SAP systems, making them a critical part of any organization's IT team. But with so many candidates to choose from, how do you find the right SAP ABAP developer for your needs?    

What to Look for During the Recruiting Process

 

Hard & Soft Skills

First and foremost, an SAP ABAP developer must have technical knowledge of SAP ABAP, the programming language used to develop applications within SAP systems. They should also have experience with other programming languages like Java, C++, HTML, or Python, as well as an understanding of SAP modules like MM and FICO.   In addition to these technical skills, strong communication and teamwork skills are essential, as SAP ABAP developers often collaborate with other IT professionals, business analysts, and end users to develop solutions that meet the organization's needs. Software development also requires a sense of natural curiosity, exploration, and problem-solving in order to successfully get the job done.   

Experience & Education

When it comes to experience, most employers require at least 3-5 years of SAP ABAP development experience. However, some organizations may prefer candidates with more extensive experience, depending on the complexity of the projects they are working on. Formal education in computer science or a related field is also highly valued, although some employers may be willing to consider candidates with relevant work experience or training programs in lieu of a degree. Finally, a certification in SAP ABAP, whether it be SAP Certified Development Specialist - ABAP for SAP HANA 2.0 or SAP Certified Development Associate - ABAP with SAP NetWeaver 7.50, can demonstrate that the candidate has a deep understanding of the programming language and its use within SAP systems. Additionally, having an ABAP developer that has an understanding and nuance of a specific industry can ensure outcomes that are more sustainable as they're designed with the environment and industry context in mind.     

Assessing Suitability During the Hiring Process & Beyond

 

Interview Questions

During the interview process, it is important to ask candidates technical questions to gauge their knowledge of SAP ABAP as well as questions about their soft skills. Examples of technical questions might include asking them to explain how they would solve a specific programming challenge or asking them to describe a particularly complex project they have worked on in the past. Behavioral questions can help you understand their work style and approach to problem-solving, like asking them to describe a time when they had to work with a difficult team member or how they handle conflicting priorities.   

Hiring Options

When it comes to hiring SAP ABAP developers, there are several options to consider. You can hire in-house, which provides more control and oversight over the development process but can also be more expensive. Alternatively, you can outsource the work to a third-party vendor, which can be cost-effective but may result in less control over the final product. Another option is to hire a freelance developer, which can provide flexibility and cost savings but may be more challenging to manage. Finally, working with a staffing agency is an extremely effective way to gain access to a larger pool of candidates and streamline the hiring process but may come with additional fees.   

Retention Efforts

Once you have found the right SAP ABAP developer for your organization, it is important to retain them. Competitive compensation packages are essential for any candidate, but especially in this case as skilled SAP ABAP developers are in high demand. For reference, as of April 2023, the average SAP ABAP developer salary ranged between $79,000 and $137,000 in the U.S.   Providing opportunities for professional development and advancement can also help keep your developers engaged and motivated, and creating a positive work culture that fosters collaboration and innovation can help ensure that your developers feel valued and invested in the organization's success.   

Finding the Right SAP ABAP Developer for Your Needs

Finding the right SAP ABAP developer for your organization requires careful consideration, from skills, experience, and education to asking the right interview questions and exploring different hiring options.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that helps businesses of all sizes manage their operations and processes, and specialized consultants can help businesses not only implement this software but optimize their use of it as well. As more and more companies begin the implementation process, the demand for a skilled SAP S/4HANA consultant continues to rise. As you begin your SAP S/4HANA implementation, scoping the roles and responsibilities of your SAP S/4HANA consultants is essential to better ensure project success and efficiency. Scoping roles means defining and assigning the range of duties of each individual on the team is expected and required to perform. When everyone on a team knows what their role is and what is expected of them, they are more likely to work better together and achieve project goals. Simultaneously, with clearly defined roles, individuals can focus on their own tasks to ensure the project stays on track and avoids delays. Additionally, well-defined roles can improve communication iso that everyone knows who is responsible for what, and it is easier to communicate project updates, changes, and issues, as well as prevent misunderstandings or conflicts, which can be common in projects where roles aren't clearly defined.  In this piece, we outline how to scope roles and responsibilities for your SAP S/4HANA consultant to ensure your company achieves its desired goals and objectives in a streamlined and efficient manner.   

How to Scope Roles and Responsibilities for an SAP S/4HANA Consultant

 

Step 1: Identify project goals and objectives.

The first step in most plans starts the same: What is it that you are looking to achieve? In outlining the project goals and objectives, you will have an understanding of what resources are needed to achieve said goals. Tips include reviewing project documents and meeting with key stakeholders or conducting research on similar projects.   

Step 2: Narrow down skills and experience.

Once the project goals and objectives are identified, the next step is to determine who needs to be involved in the project and what roles they should play. What skills will the ideal SAP consultant candidate have? What experience is required? This is done mainly when conducting interviews or reviewing resumes.   

Step 3: Develop a project plan.

The next step is to create a project plan that outlines the project goals, objectives, timeline, budget, and scope. This plan should also identify the key roles and responsibilities for the project. Some best practices include creating a project charter, conducting a risk assessment, and using project management software.   

Step 4: Define and assign responsibilities to your SAP S/4HANA consultant.

Once the project plan is complete, the next step is to delegate the roles and responsibilities for each team member in a clear and concise manner to avoid confusion. This step is key, as who gets which role should be based on each person's skills and experience, along with their availability. Considering team members’ preferences and strengths or conducting a skills assessment are two ways to effectively approach this step.   

Step 5: Monitor progress.

Once the project begins, it is important to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. Holding regular team meetings and tracking statuses can help to ensure responsibilities are being fulfilled so the goals can be met.   

Step 6: Evaluate and adjust, if needed.

Once the project is completed, it should be thoroughly evaluated with a post-project review to identify any necessary adjustments for future projects. By completing this step – with the help of team members and stakeholders – project managers can improve the scope of roles and responsibilities for your SAP S/4HANA consultant in the future.   

Final Thoughts

By following the recommended steps outlined above, businesses can ensure that everyone on the team knows what is expected of them and can work together effectively to achieve project goals.

As companies worldwide continue to digitally transform their operations with SAP solutions, there's a growing demand for well-trained professionals. Unfortunately, finding and attracting top-tier talent is becoming increasingly difficult as demand outweighs supply. This is where SAP Staffing & Recruiting firms like BCTG come in to help. As you explore bringing in SAP talent for your implementation, we have outlined some pros and cons of working with an SAP recruiting firm for your consideration.   

Pros of Working with an SAP Recruiting Firm

 

Access to a specialized talent pool

With a global shortage of SAP talent, it can be challenging to find the right candidate for your company's needs. SAP recruiting firms, like BCTG, have access to a vast database of specialized candidates. This means that the firm can quickly identify candidates with the necessary skills and experience, saving you time and money on recruitment efforts.   

Expertise in SAP recruitment

SAP is a complex and evolving field, which can make it challenging to keep up with the latest trends and updates. SAP recruiting firms have extensive experience in recruiting SAP professionals, meaning they understand the skills and qualifications to look for in an ideal candidate. They also have deep insights into the nuances of the SAP market, which can be challenging for internal recruiters to match.   

Time and cost savings

Recruiting SAP talent can be a time-consuming and costly process, and partnering with a recruiting firm can significantly reduce the hiring timeline, leading to substantial cost savings. Additionally, staffing and recruiting firms can offer a more efficient recruiting process by handling all candidate screening and communication, freeing up your internal HR resources.   

Cons of Working with an SAP Recruiting Firm

 

Financial considerations

Working with an SAP recruiting firm comes with costs that need to be considered.  The specific rates will depend on the complexity of the role and market conditions, and while this can add up, it' is essential to consider the long-term value of securing top-tier talent.   

Potential misalignment with company culture and values

One potential risk of working with a recruiting firm is that they may not fully understand your company's culture and values, and this misalignment can lead to a poor fit between the candidate and your organization. At BCTG, we take great care to understand the client's culture and values, and we become an extension of your team to ensure that the candidate we place is the right fit for the company.   

Limited control over the hiring process

Another potential downside of working with a recruiting firm is the loss of some control over the hiring process. Companies partnering with firms may have to relinquish some screening and selection responsibilities. However, BCTG's team works closely with clients to ensure that the hiring process aligns with their requirements and expectations. Additionally, it is essential to establish a clear line of communication and regular updates to ensure that the process stays on track, and we pride ourselves on our transparent and collaborative approach to client relationships.  

Partnering with BCTG

Working with an SAP recruiting firm like BCTG can provide significant benefits for companies looking to secure top SAP talent. Our access to a specialized talent pool and expertise in SAP recruitment makes us an ideal staffing and recruiting partner. When outsourcing your recruiting efforts, it is important to consider benefits and drawbacks for each individual company depending on your specific goals and needs. We encourage our prospective clients to make informed decisions when choosing to work with an SAP recruiting firm.   To learn more about working with an SAP recruiting firm like BCTG, contact the team here.

SAP SuccessFactors is a cloud-based human capital management (HCM) system that helps streamline HR processes and enhance employee engagement. Implementing or optimizing this powerful software requires expertise and experience, which is why hiring an SAP SuccessFactors consultant is a must. Below, we lay out the qualities, certifications, experiences, and more to look for in an SAP SuccessFactors consultant to ensure a successful implementation.   

Qualifications and Certifications

When considering an SAP SuccessFactors consultant, it is crucial to assess their qualifications and certifications. Look for consultants who possess relevant certifications such as SAP SuccessFactors Professional Certification, SAP SuccessFactors Associate Certification, and SAP SuccessFactors Learning Certification. These certifications demonstrate a consultant’s deep understanding of the software and its features, their ability to troubleshoot and optimize the system, and the skill set to anticipate potential issues before they arise.   

Communication and Collaboration Skills

Effective communication and collaboration skills are essential for an SAP SuccessFactors consultant. They must be able to communicate technical information in a clear and concise manner to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring everyone understands the benefits and requirements of the system. Additionally, consultants need to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, aligning project goals and managing expectations.  By fostering open and effective communication, consultants can better understand client requirements and address concerns promptly. This open line of communication leads to improved alignment between HR and IT teams, increased user adoption, and ultimately, greater project success. After all, a good team player is results-driven, and those are two qualities in one that you should look for in your SAP SuccessFactors consultant.   

Problem-Solving and Analytical Skills

In addition to communication and collaboration skills, a good SAP SuccessFactors consultant must possess strong problem-solving and analytical skills as well. With an eye for detail, a good SAP consultant truly understands the value of a methodological approach. As such, they should be adept at analyzing complex data, identifying root causes of data migration issues, developing effective solutions, and improving system performance.   Whether it is troubleshooting technical glitches or optimizing the system to meet specific business needs, problem-solving skills are crucial for a consultant's success. These skills allow consultants to identify and resolve challenges, develop custom reports tailored to the organization's requirements, and more. With the ability to think critically and strategically, consultants can ensure that SAP SuccessFactors delivers maximum value to the business.   

Experience and Industry Knowledge

Experience plays a vital role in selecting a candidate, but especially for an SAP SuccessFactors consultant, as they require a specific set of skills. Look for consultants who have extensive experience with end-to-end implementations, data migration, integration, customization, and user training.   Additionally, SAP SuccessFactors consultants should have around 5-10 years of experience in consulting, HR, or related fields. This level of experience in the field ensures that they have encountered a variety of scenarios and challenges, equipping them with the expertise needed to deliver successful outcomes.  Considering industry knowledge is important as well, as consultants who understand the unique needs and challenges of specific industries can tailor the software to meet industry-specific requirements and compliance standards. Whether it is healthcare, manufacturing, or retail, consultants with industry expertise can provide valuable insights and ensure the system aligns with industry best practices.   

References and Testimonials

When evaluating SAP SuccessFactors consultants, do not underestimate the importance of references and testimonials. Request references from previous clients and take the time to reach out and inquire about their experience with the consultant. Additionally, check online reviews and ratings, if applicable, for valuable insights into a consultant's track record and client satisfaction. Looking at an SAP SuccessFactors consultant’s success in similar projects can guide you in your decision to gauge their expertise and professionalism and to ensure you are pursuing a qualified candidate.    

Conclusion

Remember, the right SAP SuccessFactors consultant should not only possess technical expertise but also be a reliable partner who understands your unique business requirements. With their guidance, you can leverage the full potential of SAP SuccessFactors to transform your HR processes and drive organizational success.  Choose wisely, and your SAP SuccessFactors implementation or optimization journey will be smooth and efficient and ultimately yield substantial benefits for your organization.

For businesses that use SAP software, bringing on an SAP ABAP developer to help customize and extend your SAP solution can be extremely beneficial as ABAP is the primary programming language used to develop applications within the SAP environment. However, hiring an SAP ABAP developer can be a challenging task, especially if you are not familiar with the intricacies of the SAP software. With the right guidance, you can streamline the hiring process and ensure that you find an SAP ABAP developer who is knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced, and is the right fit for your organization to guarantee project success.   

Guide to Hiring an SAP ABAP Developer

 

Step 1: Identify development needs.

The first step in hiring an SAP ABAP developer is to determine development needs. This includes identifying the specific SAP modules that are being used and the areas of the SAP software that need to be customized or extended.   Common areas where businesses require ABAP development include:   

Step 2: Choose an SAP Staffing & Recruiting partner.

Next, try to find the right SAP Staffing & Recruiting partner to help hire an SAP ABAP developer. While there are many staffing firms out there, not all of them specialize in SAP staffing, so be sure to look for a firm that has experience working with SAP clients. Additionally, the right partner will have a good understanding of the SAP solution and ABAP development.   Key factors to consider when choosing an SAP Staffing & Recruiting firm include:   

Step 3: Outline the job description and qualifications needed.

After selecting an SAP Staffing & Recruiting partner, outline the job description and qualifications for the SAP ABAP developer position. The description of responsibilities and duties should be clearly laid out, along with the required qualifications, skills, experience, and so on.   Some key qualifications to look for in an SAP ABAP developer include:   

Step 4: Screen and interview the top candidates.

The fourth step is when the SAP Staffing & Recruiting firm will begin screening and interviewing candidates on your organization’s behalf. They will recruit and identify suitable candidates, weeding out any candidates who do not meet the requirements outlined in Step Three by conducting initial screenings. The firm will then provide a shortlist of candidates that they believe are a good fit for the position and organization.  Once your organization has received the list of vetted candidates, interview top candidates and evaluate their suitability in more detail. This is an important step in the process, as it allows your organization to assess the candidate's technical skills, communication and problem-solving skills, teamwork and project management abilities, and so on. This is the perfect opportunity to ask candidates about their experience on similar SAP projects, as well.   

Step 5: Evaluate candidates and make an offer.

After interviewing the candidates, evaluate each finalist and make a decision on who to hire. Once you have selected a candidate, make an offer and finalize the terms of the employment agreement. The SAP Staffing & Recruiting partner can provide your organization with guidance on compensation packages and any other contractual terms that may be necessary, along with ensuring that all necessary paperwork is completed and that the candidate has a smooth onboarding experience.

If your business is considering bringing on an SAP SuccessFactors consultant, there are several factors to take into account before making a decision. While the prospect of improving your human resources processes with SAP SuccessFactors is extremely appealing, finding and hiring a qualified consultant to implement the system can be challenging. This is where an SAP Staffing & Recruiting firm like BCTG can help. By contracting an SAP SuccessFactors consultant, you can gain access to a wider talent pool, reduce costs, and mitigate risks associated with hiring full-time employees.  

Benefits of Contracting an SAP SuccessFactors Consultant

 

Access to a Wider Talent Pool

One of the primary advantages of bringing on a contract worker through a staffing firm is that it provides access to a wide pool of qualified and experienced SAP SuccessFactors candidates. Staffing & Recruiting firms typically maintain a database of pre-screened and vetted consultants, enabling you to quickly find the right consultant with the skills and experience that match your project requirements. Moreover, you can tap into the staffing firm’s extensive network of contacts and industry knowledge, which can be invaluable in identifying and hiring the best talent for your organization.   

Cost Savings

Another key benefit of partnering with an SAP Staffing & Recruiting firm is cost savings. By partnering with a firm, you can avoid the expenses associated with recruiting, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and training full-time employees entirely in-house. You can also optimize project costs by accessing the right mix of on-site and off-site resources based on your specific project needs, ultimately saving your time and money in both the short and long term.   

Flexibility and Scalability

Working with an SAP Staffing & Recruiting partner to contract talent can also provide you with the flexibility and scalability you need to successfully complete your project. You can easily adjust the size and composition of your project team as your needs evolve - whether you are looking to add resources to support a critical project or scale back your team due to budgetary constraints, an experienced partner can help meet your staffing needs without incurring any penalties or fines.   

Reduced Risk

Hiring an SAP consultant through a staffing firm can also allow you to mitigate the risks associated with hiring full-time employees. For instance, if the consultant does not meet your expectations or if the project requirements change, you can easily terminate the contract without incurring any legal or financial liabilities. Additionally, because the consultant is not a full-time employee, you are not responsible for providing benefits such as health insurance and paid time off.   

More Time to Focus on Goals and Initiatives

Finally, outsourcing your SAP SuccessFactors consulting needs allows you to focus on your core business activities, initiatives, or goals. By delegating the time-consuming and complex process of finding and hiring a suitable SAP SuccessFactors consultant to a team of experts, you can free up your internal resources to focus on other critical business activities, such as product development or customer support.

In today's competitive business landscape, organizations must leverage the latest technologies to remain competitive and drive growth. One of the most essential tools for achieving this objective is SAP S/4HANA, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that provides real-time insights into business processes, enhances operational efficiency, and simplifies decision-making. However, many organizations face challenges when implementing and maintaining SAP S/4HANA, as it requires specialized knowledge and expertise. Therefore, as you begin to explore SAP S/4HANA, it is essential to know when it is time to hire an SAP S/4HANA consultant to ensure your business can make the most out of this innovative technology.  Below, we lay out some situations in which hiring an SAP S/4HANA consultant may be necessary.   

It Is Time to Hire an SAP Consultant

 

When implementing SAP S/4HANA:

Implementing SAP S/4HANA is a complex process that requires specialized knowledge and experience. The implementation process involves several steps, including planning, configuration, data migration, testing, and training. To ensure a successful implementation, it is crucial to hire an SAP S/4HANA consultant who can guide you through the entire process and ensure the software meets your business needs. An SAP consultant can also provide insights into best practices and help you avoid common pitfalls that can delay the implementation process.   

When upgrading from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA:

If your organization is currently using SAP ECC (ERP Central Component), it may be time to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA to remain competitive. But upgrading to SAP S/4HANA is not a straightforward process and it requires careful planning and execution. Therefore, it is important to hire an SAP S/4HANA consultant who can assist you in upgrading from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, as they can help you determine the best upgrade approach, identify potential risks and challenges, and ultimately guide you through the entire upgrade process.   

When customizing SAP S/4HANA:

Every business is unique, and SAP S/4HANA may not meet all of your business requirements out of the box. Therefore, customizing SAP S/4HANA to meet your specific business needs is a step most organizations take, and a consultant can help you customize S/4HANA to ensure the software works seamlessly with other applications and minimize the risk of errors and downtime while meeting your business needs.   

When integrating SAP S/4HANA with other applications:

SAP S/4HANA integrates with other applications, such as CRM and supply chain management, so integrating the solution with other applications is crucial to streamline business processes, reduce errors, and increase overall operational efficiency. In working with an SAP consultant, you can ensure data consistency and accuracy and optimize business processes.   

When optimizing SAP S/4HANA performance:

SAP S/4HANA is a powerful software, however, its performance can be affected by several factors like network latency or application settings. As such, SAP consultants can help you optimize SAP S/4HANA performance, identify and fix performance bottlenecks, and improve system availability and reliability so that your organization’s needs are being met.   

When troubleshooting SAP S/4HANA issues:

SAP S/4HANA can experience issues, such as system downtime, errors, and data inconsistencies, and having an SAP consultant on deck to help you troubleshoot these issues is important. Experienced consultants will identify the root cause of the problem and develop a plan to resolve it quickly and effectively, while providing guidance on how to avoid similar issues in the future and implement best practices to ensure the stability and reliability of your SAP system.   

Final Thoughts

When hiring an SAP S/4HANA consultant, it is important above all to choose a consultant with the right skills, knowledge, experience, and expertise. SAP S/4HANA can help your business drive growth across the board, but implementing and maintaining the complex solution requires specialized knowledge and expertise. Therefore, it is also important to know when it is time to hire a consultant to ensure your business can make the most out of this technology.   To work with an esteemed SAP Staffing & Recruiting firm like BCTG that specializes in SAP S/4HANA consulting and has a proven track record of delivering successful projects, contact us today.

In today’s fast-changing and increasingly digital workplace, the IT industry is experiencing substantial growth with the industry expected to grow 5.4% in 2023 alone. Factors such as the movement towards remote work, advancements in generative AI and other innovative solutions, and a greater prioritization of cyber security, among other things, have sparked opportunity and a need for labor in this field. In fact, there were 264,500 tech industry jobs added to the market in 2022. For those looking to get into the IT field, there is certainly ample opportunity, but what do those entry-level jobs entail?  In this piece, we outline top entry-level IT jobs to consider.

LinkedIn is a powerful tool for consultants to build their professional networks, showcase their skills and experience, and, above all, attract potential clients. However, building a strong LinkedIn profile can be a daunting task, especially if you are new to the platform. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps you need to take to build a winning LinkedIn profile that will help you stand out in your industry.   

How to Build Your LinkedIn Profile

 

Step 1: Choose a professional profile picture.

Choosing a professional profile picture is crucial, as it is the first thing people will see when they visit your profile. As such, it is important to choose a professional, high-quality headshot and make a good first impression. Avoid using casual or blurry photos, and make sure your clothing is appropriate and your face is clearly visible. You do not need to spend a fortune on a professional photographer, but it is worth investing in a good-quality headshot that reflects your professional image and makes you stand out.   

Step 2: Craft a compelling headline.

Your personalized headline appears directly below your name on your LinkedIn profile, and it is the second most important element on your LinkedIn profile after your profile picture. It is a key element in attracting attention from potential clients or employers, so use your headline to communicate your unique value proposition and showcase your expertise. For example, instead of simply listing your job title, try something like "Expert SAP consultant with a proven track record in driving business growth." Your headline should be short but compelling, and it should give people a clear idea of what you do and what makes you unique.   

Step 3: Write a concise but attention-grabbing summary.

Next, your summary is your opportunity to tell your professional story and highlight your skills and experience. Keep your summary focused and use it to showcase your unique value proposition. It should give people a clear idea of who you are and what you have to offer, so be sure to include specific examples of your achievements and results from previous projects. Your summary should be engaging, informative, and compelling, encouraging people to connect with you and learn more about your work.

Last month, SAP and Microsoft announced a new collaboration to develop a generative artificial intelligence (AI) solution to help businesses across a variety of functions, including increasing the productivity of end users, changing how they interact with SAP, and even helping to address the talent gap across industries. The partnership will integrate SAP Solutions, including SAP Signavio Process Manager business process software, with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot in Viva Learning, and Azure OpenAI Service to leverage language models that analyze and generate natural language, helping organizations in several areas from human capital management to finance operations to the customer experience. This announcement comes on the heels of similar developments in artificial intelligence by both tech giants – developments that have ramped up in recent months. Earlier this year, Microsoft began rolling out the aforementioned Microsoft 365 Copilot, which aims to improve day-to-day productivity across the broad set of Microsoft 365 applications. Meanwhile, SAP has been layering AI capabilities throughout its powerful ecosystem of products. In early May, SAP announced a new partnership to embed IBM Watson into SAP solutions in order to improve automation and accelerate innovation via its digital assistant SAP Start.  On the backend, SAP also announced a partnership with Google Cloud aimed at helping businesses improve their data ecosystem in order to optimize the value of AI capabilities. As data rests at the center of AI value, this new partnership will allow businesses to combine the robust business data from SAP with essentially any other data set, as managed by Google Cloud, to effectively eliminate issues with data silos and low/no-context data.   

Generative AI Solutions at Work

The 15 new business AI capabilities announced at SAP Sapphire will aim to develop innovative methodologies for businesses to engage end users in new ways with the software, with business process transformation leading the way. Some of these capabilities include:   

Addressing the Talent Gap

The news of this collaboration is especially well-received by businesses that have been facing unprecedented challenges and disruptions due to global socioeconomic and political events over the past three or four years and need innovative solutions to address these emerging problems. In today’s landscape, where even the most resilient organizations are still struggling to address the challenges presented by the “Great Resignation” and “Quiet Quitting,” the need for innovative and effective solutions to engage and retain top talent while helping your business operate in new and more efficient ways is significant.   

Prioritizing Data and Analytics

While this is an exciting advancement in generative AI that has the potential to change the future of talent development and business transformation, businesses must prioritize their strategies to realize true potential in their digital transformation journey.  Our SAP experts will continue to monitor this announcement from SAP and Microsoft.

In the midst of a candidate-favoring job market, applying for your dream position is perhaps now more achievable than ever. However, having a professional résumé plays a huge role for employers when considering a candidate. In fact, over 80% of résumés don’t continue through the first screening. Although you may have all the skills and qualifications for your dream job, your résumé is often a first impression for hiring managers, so presenting yourself adequately will be key in achieving your career goals.  Below we explore five common mistakes and red flags found on candidates’ résumés.  

5 Résumé Red Flags

 

Typos and Mistakes

While grammar, spelling, and typos might be nitpicky issues, they are some of the most important considerations for a résumé. It is crucial for candidates to put their best foot forward, meaning résumés need to be well-written, spell checked, and polished. A poorly written résumé can signify that a candidate does not value the job opportunity and has not put in much time or effort. In fact, 77% of employers disqualify résumés because of grammatical mistakes, so rereading your resume is a simple but important step.    

Poor Formatting

When employers evaluate a résumé, aesthetics play a small role; however, the bulk of their consideration is on job-specific skills and qualifications. As such, résumés need to be formatted to highlight these skills, with relevant sections pertaining to the position, such as education, work experience, and skills presented in an organized manner. Often, good résumés will have short paragraphs or bullet points to make them easy to read.   Pro tip: Be sure to avoid using hard-to-read fonts or cramming too much information into a section, which might cause the hiring manager to stop reviewing the document altogether.   

Unprofessional Social Networks

With an increasingly digitally interconnected world, your social media presence is very important. Employers are checking what social media you offer on your résumé and cover letter and are likely searching further, as many employers can find applicants on social media with a simple search. While having a professional LinkedIn is one part of the equation (and can, in fact, help you land a job), keeping a clean Instagram and Twitter is also just as important if you are choosing to keep it public. Any derogatory comments on personal profiles could reflect poorly on the companies' values as a whole.    

Lack of Career Growth, Employment Gaps or Unrelated Experience

When considering a candidate, employers pay specific attention to relevant work experience and past employment. A lot of times, they will look for career progression and the timeline of past jobs. They will consider how long a candidate has been there, the prestige of the position, the type of organization, etc. A green flag is to see changing job titles and increasing responsibility as their career progresses over time, whereas employers may be skeptical when an applicant has not advanced in their career or seems to be stuck in a cycle of jobs with limited mobility. As this does happen, candidates should be able to explain a possible employment gap or lull in their résumé during the interview process. Additionally, including relevant experience while omitting past and unrelated roles will help.   

Inconsistencies and Inaccuracies

While it might seem quite obvious, being completely transparent with skills and experience on a résumé is critical, as employers will likely ask candidates to complete tasks that pertain to the qualifications listed. However, lying and overexaggerating skills occur often, with 75% of human resources managers catching a lie on a résumé. Being honest and including accurate information about job titles, certifications, education, and more will boost credibility and let employers know that the applicant is truly good for their word and the best candidate for the role in which they are applying.   Pro tip: Tweak your résumé to highlight the skills you do have rather than lying about ones that you do not.  

BCTG Can Help

As a candidate searching for a new position, remembering these tips will upgrade your résumé and improve your number of job callbacks. Although résumés are not the sole factor in candidate consideration, they can definitely be a dealbreaker if hiring managers see some of these red flags. If you are looking to improve your résumé, make yourself look more appealing as a candidate, and get your foot in the door with employers, BCTG is here to help you land your dream job.    Contributions from Leah Harding

While it’s true SAP projects come in different shapes and sizes, a high degree of success can be attributed to being aware of and controlling issues and risks, both external and internal, as well as foreseen and unforeseen. Any SAP project requires quality resources – be it the right personnel, adequate IT or systems, a solid budget, appropriate onboarding materials, etc. A seasoned SAP project manager is one who recognizes these resource needs and sets the process in place for finding and addressing them. Planning is an essential task for any project, hence the adage, “If you fail to plan, you will plan to fail” holds true. An SAP project manager is someone who notably has an overall view and knowledge of the project on hand and understands the project goals, the business value, the ROI, and the reasons it was approved. They should visualize the end-to-end execution and should be skilled and capable of foreseeing pitfalls and hurdles even before they occur, mitigating them so that they don’t hinder the progress of the project or become barriers to success.

My main interest at the moment is Data Science as I have had a great time at my internship in Brau Union Austria's Data Science department. As a Teaching Assistant throughout my post-graduate education, I have had to teach concepts and help students with their assignments while keeping up with my own studies, which required the ability to balance multiple obligations at once, which I hope will be an important skill in the professional world. Working with students and my fellow teaching assistants has given me ample time to hone my teamwork skills. On a slightly less practical note, I am also very fascinated by esoteric programming languages, and have spent some time working with those too. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Job interviews can be nerve-wracking, regardless of your experience level.  The pressure to make a good first impression and think on your feet can make it challenging to stay composed. However, with in-the-moment adjustments, you can salvage an interview that’s heading south. Follow our tips and tricks below for how to repair a bad interview in the moment, as well as how to prepare pre-interview to prevent mistakes.   

Before the Interview

 

Tip 1: Research the company and position ahead of time.

Spend some time before the interview perusing the company website and other sources of information. Also, ensure that you have familiarized yourself with the position you are interviewing for to understand the expectations of the role. This is great practice to avoid the mistake of asking questions that could have been answered independently. Prior research can also be a great supplement to your interview responses, allowing you to fully connect your personal experience and qualities to the needs of the position and the company. As a bonus, it will be apparent that you are engaged and enthusiastic about the opportunity to join the company.   

Tip 2: Practice interview questions, especially the most often asked ones.

Most questions asked by an interviewer can be anticipated ahead of time. Prepare by researching potential topics they may bring up and then practice your responses individually or with a partner/group that can provide feedback. Practicing ahead of time can ensure you feel prepared when answering questions, relieving anxiety and eliciting more coherent answers.   

During the Interview

 

Tip 1: Pause before responding to questions and remain poised.

Allow yourself to take a breath before answering a question if you begin to feel flustered. When you take a second to compose yourself, you can make your answers more thoughtful and focused for the question. Keeping your responses on track is important for communicating clearly with the interviewer. Don’t panic or let nerves overwhelm you as it is much easier to save a bad interview when you maintain a level head.   

Tip 2: If you are going off topic, admit that you need a minute to gather your thoughts.

When experiencing interview jitters, your responses might stray from answering the original question. Take a minute to refocus your answer while also displaying a positive demeanor. Make a note to ensure your body language is professional and engaged. Maintaining eye contact, practicing active listening, and sitting with strong posture are a few nonverbal cues you should use to demonstrate engagement in the interview. Using a positive tone of voice can also show enthusiasm about the company and the position, and displaying positive energy can help recover an interview at any point.   

Tip 3: Don’t get flustered by one poor answer. Take time to center your next answers around the role and the company.

While interviewers want to get to know you, your responses should relate to what you can uniquely bring to the company. Interview questions, such as “Why do you want to work here?” should be personal but connected to the company and specific position. Doing so will demonstrate pre-interview preparation and an interest in what the job offers. It also allows you to demonstrate why you are a stand-out candidate that will bring unparalleled skills to the position.   

Tip 4: Conclude the interview with relevant, thoughtful questions.

At the conclusion of the conversation, you will have the opportunity to ask the interviewer questions. Asking questions is a great opportunity to solidify your engagement in the interview and your enthusiasm for the position. However, it is best to avoid questions that can be answered through independent research, such as the company’s services. The interviewer may think you are not well versed in the company or position, which can indicate a lack of interest. Instead, focus on asking questions that can best be answered by someone actively in the company.   

Tip 5: Express your gratitude.

It also is important to acknowledge the time that the interviewer has spent reviewing your application as well as conducting the interview. Enthusiastically thanking them for their time shows appreciation and respect.   

Conclusion

While you can’t always avoid an awkward moment or redo a less-than-ideal answer, you can take actions to prepare prior to an interview to reduce the chances of these moments happening. After all, job interviews can be intimidating, but with the right strategies, you can turn a bad interview into a triumph. Interviews are learning experiences, and mistakes offer the chance to improve as a candidate. Don’t be afraid to take a moment to clear your head to present the best version of yourself. With these tips at your disposal, you should be equipped to have a stress-free interview and adjust to a challenge.  To learn more about mastering the interview process as a tech candidate, reach out to the experts at Bull City Talent Group.     Contributions from Sam Weitzel

In the world of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, business transformations often come with complex challenges and significant risks. However, SAP Bluefield enables organizations to embark on system transformations with unprecedented speed, simplicity, and agility. A happy medium between the greenfield and brownfield approaches, this innovative approach has gained considerable attention in recent years for its ability to minimize disruption and maximize efficiency during the migration process. We will explore the concept of SAP Bluefield, its benefits, and how it is revolutionizing system transformations below.   

Understanding SAP Bluefield

SAP Bluefield is an innovative framework introduced by SAP to facilitate system transformations, specifically for SAP S/4HANA migrations. The name "bluefield" symbolizes a combination of "greenfield" and "brownfield" methodologies. While "greenfield" represents building a new system from scratch, and "brownfield" denotes modifying an existing system, SAP Bluefield strikes a balance between the two.  This approach focuses on a selective migration strategy that enables organizations to preserve their valuable existing processes and configurations while integrating new and improved functionalities offered by SAP S/4HANA. It combines the best aspects of both greenfield and brownfield methodologies, allowing businesses to leverage the benefits of a modern ERP system while minimizing disruption and risks associated with large-scale transformations.   

Benefits of SAP Bluefield

 

Reduced Risk and Disruption

A Bluefield implementation strategy helps mitigate the risks typically associated with system transformations by allowing businesses to retain their current processes, configurations, and data. This approach ensures continuity and reduces disruption during the migration process, resulting in smoother operations and business continuity.   

Increased Speed and Efficiency

By leveraging the existing system landscape, a Bluefield approach enables organizations to accelerate the migration process significantly. This eliminates the need for time-consuming and error-prone data replication, testing, and re-implementation, thereby reducing the overall project timeline.   

Flexibility and Selective Adoption

Bluefield implementations provide organizations with the flexibility to adopt new functionalities selectively. Businesses can choose which areas or processes they want to transform and upgrade, allowing for a customized migration plan that aligns with their specific needs and priorities.   

Innovation and Optimization

SAP S/4HANA brings a host of advanced features and capabilities to the table. With SAP Bluefield, organizations can tap into these innovations while retaining their current processes, ensuring they don't miss out on the advantages of a modern system.   

Components of SAP Bluefield

SAP Bluefield consists of several key components that work together to enable a successful system transformation. Some of these components are outlined below.  

Transformation Navigator

This tool provides businesses with an overview of the entire transformation process, offering guidance on which components to select for migration and determining the optimal path to SAP S/4HANA adoption.   

Landscape Transformation

This component focuses on data migration, ensuring a seamless transfer of data from the legacy system to SAP S/4HANA. It includes functionalities such as data cleansing, data validation, and mapping.   

Business Process Repository

In today's job market, finding the right specialized staffing project is crucial for tech consultants. As a tech professional, you possess valuable skills and expertise that are in high demand across various industries. However, with so many project opportunities available, it can be overwhelming to navigate the vast landscape of specialized staffing.  Below, we provide a comprehensive guide to help consultants like yourself find the perfect project that aligns with your skills, qualifications, interests, and overall career goals.   

Assess Your Skills and Expertise

The first step in finding the right specialized staffing project is to assess your skills and expertise. Identify your core competencies, certifications, and knowledge areas. For IT professionals, this could involve programming languages, database management, cybersecurity, or cloud computing, whereas tech consultants may have expertise in web development, UI/UX design, or artificial intelligence. SAP consultants, on the other hand, specialize in enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and may have vast experience with SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fiori, and so on. Assessing and recognizing your particular strengths and skills will help you better identify projects that require your specific expertise.   

Determine Your Interests

Apart from your technical skills, it is essential to consider your personal interests when choosing a staffing project. Determine the industries or sectors that intrigue you the most. Whether it is healthcare, finance, e-commerce, or manufacturing, focusing on projects aligned with your interests will enhance your job satisfaction and motivation. Being passionate about the project's domain will also enable you to bring added value to the client.   

Research the Market Demand

To ensure the availability of specialized staffing projects in your field, conduct thorough market research. Stay updated with industry trends and emerging technologies. Understanding the current market demand will help you identify the most sought-after skills, enabling you to position yourself for projects with high growth potential. Stay connected with professional networks, attend industry conferences, and leverage online resources to gather valuable insights.   

Engage with Staffing Agencies and Online Platforms

Staffing agencies and online platforms specializing in tech projects can be invaluable resources for finding the right opportunities. These platforms connect consultants with potential clients, offering a range of project options. Register with reputable agencies and create detailed profiles that highlight your skills, experience, project preferences, and more. Remember to regularly update your profile and actively engage with the community to increase your visibility and chances of landing the ideal project.   

Leverage Professional Networks

Building and nurturing professional networks is crucial to landing any job or position. Reach out to colleagues, mentors, peers, and industry experts who can provide guidance and referrals. Attend industry events, meetups, webinars, and conferences to expand your network. Online communities and forums dedicated to tech consulting can also serve as valuable platforms for networking, sharing knowledge, and exploring new opportunities.   

Seek Feedback and Recommendations

Feedback and recommendations play a vital role in establishing credibility and trustworthiness. Request recommendations from previous clients, supervisors, or colleagues who can vouch for your skills and professionalism. These testimonials can enhance your profile and increase your chances of securing desirable projects.   

Continuously Enhance Your Skills

In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, staying updated with the latest technologies and methodologies is key. Invest time in continuous learning and skill enhancement, acquire new certifications, attend training programs, and participate in relevant workshops. Demonstrating a commitment to professional growth will make you a highly attractive candidate for specialized staffing projects.

When it comes to SAP implementation and management for a project, partnering with an experienced SAP Staffing & Recruiting firm like BCTG can make all the difference. We specialize in identifying, attracting, and selecting top SAP professionals, ensuring that your company has the skilled resources it needs to drive success.  With numerous options available, selecting the right firm can be overwhelming. Below, we provide valuable guidance to help your company make an informed decision when choosing a recruiting partner.   

Lay Out Your SAP Needs

Before embarking on the journey of selecting an SAP recruiting firm, it is essential to have a clear understanding of your organization's SAP requirements and needs. Consider the specific modules and technologies needed for your projects, which will enable you to find a firm that can help you find candidates who operate in these specific areas and ensure they have the expertise and knowledge to identify the right talent.  

Areas to Consider When Selecting an SAP Recruiting Firm

 

Industry Experience

When evaluating potential SAP recruiting partners, look for firms that have a proven track record of working with clients in your industry. This experience ensures they understand your unique challenges and can provide tailored solutions. Moreover, an experienced firm will have a network of SAP professionals with domain expertise, enabling them to identify candidates who are well-versed in your industry's requirements.   

Reputation, References, and Testimonials

The reputation of a recruiting firm speaks volumes about its capabilities. Take the time to research its reputation by reading client testimonials, reviews, case studies, and so on. Additionally, ask for references from previous clients who have similar SAP needs to yours, and don’t hesitate to contact these references for insight into the firm’s performance, professionalism, and ability to deliver results.   

Talent Pool and Sourcing Strategy

An effective staffing and recruiting firm should have access to a vast talent pool of qualified professionals. Inquire about their sourcing strategy, including their methods for attracting and screening candidates, and look for firms that employ comprehensive screening processes, including technical assessments, to ensure they present you with candidates who possess the necessary skills and experience. It is also important to consider whether the firm has a robust network and can tap into passive candidates who may not be actively seeking job opportunities but could potentially be a good fit for your specific project/need/etc.   

Partner Support and Collaboration

Successful partnerships are built on effective communication and collaboration, so remember to evaluate how the firm approaches client collaboration. Do they take the time to understand your organization's needs, as well as culture, values, and team dynamics? A good firm will work closely with you to develop a deep understanding of your needs and align their efforts accordingly. They should act as an extension of your team, providing ongoing support and guidance throughout the hiring process.   

Flexibility and Scalability

As your organization grows and evolves, your SAP staffing and recruiting needs may change. As such, it is essential to select an SAP partner that can adapt to these changes and provide scalable solutions. Assess the firm's ability to handle both short-term and long-term staffing requirements, along with its ability to quickly ramp up or down resources based on your project demands. Flexibility is key in ensuring a seamless hiring process and minimizing disruptions to your business operations.   

Transparent Pricing and Contracts

Finally, it is crucial for a good SAP staffing and recruiting partner to establish transparent pricing and contract terms upfront. Ensure you have a clear understanding of the firm's fee structure, including any additional costs or hidden charges. Ask for a detailed breakdown of their pricing model, such as placement fees, contract-to-hire rates, or hourly rates for temporary staffing. This transparency will help you compare different firms and select the one that offers the best value for your investment.   

Partnering with BCTG

Partnering with the right recruiting firm can significantly impact your organization's success in SAP implementation and project management. By following the guidance outlined above, you can make an informed decision when selecting an SAP recruiting firm that aligns with your specific needs. With the right partner by your side, you can access top SAP talent and achieve your business objectives efficiently.  Contact us to learn more about partnering with BCTG for your SAP recruiting needs.

A well-crafted job description is the foundation of a successful hiring process, as it serves as a crucial tool for attracting qualified candidates and setting clear expectations. In an industry where talent is highly sought after, creating an effective and compelling tech job description becomes even more important. Below, we provide HR managers, recruiters, and others involved in the hiring process with a guide to writing a good tech job description that attracts top talent.   

Understand the Job Requirements

Before writing a job description, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of the role you are trying to fill. Engage in discussions with the hiring manager and team members to gain insights into the skills, experience, and qualifications needed for the position. This understanding will help you create a targeted job description that resonates with potential candidates.   

Start with a Compelling Title

The job title is the first thing that catches the attention of candidates. Ensure that the title accurately reflects the position and its level of seniority. It should be concise and specific, and use familiar terms to avoid confusion. For example, “SAP ABAP Developer” would be an accurate, descriptive title for a role that is looking for a candidate to “assist with building interfaces to a 3rd party Transportation Management System” with ABAP. For tech positions, consider incorporating relevant keywords and industry-specific terms to attract candidates with the desired skills.   

Write a Clear and Engaging Job Summary

The job summary is a brief overview of the role and its primary objectives. It should capture the attention of candidates and provide a glimpse into the key roles and responsibilities associated with the position. Clearly state the purpose of the role and the impact it has on the organization, and highlight any unique selling points, such as access to cutting-edge technologies or working in a collaborative work environment, that make the job more enticing.   

Outline Key Responsibilities

Next, outline the primary responsibilities associated with the role, broken down into concise bullet points or short paragraphs to make it easier for candidates to scan and understand. Be specific and highlight the expected deliverables or outcomes. This clarity will help candidates assess their suitability for the position and allow you to attract those with the necessary experience.   

Specify Required Skills and Qualifications

Clearly state the required skills, qualifications, and experience required for the role. In doing so, distinguish between the must-haves and the nice-to-haves to ensure candidates understand the minimum requirements. Be mindful of including both technical skills, such as programming languages or software proficiency, and soft skills, like communication or problem-solving abilities. Providing a well-rounded list will help attract candidates with the right blend of technical expertise and interpersonal capabilities.   

Describe the Company Culture and Values

Professionals often prioritize company culture and values when considering job opportunities, so remember to briefly describe the organization's culture, values, and any unique perks or benefits. Emphasize elements that align with the values and interests of the tech community, such as flexible work arrangements, continuous learning or professional development opportunities, or a commitment to diversity and inclusion.   

Highlight Growth and Development Opportunities

Tech talent can be highly motivated by opportunities for professional growth and development. Mention any career advancement paths, training programs, mentorship opportunities, or access to trailblazing projects that the role offers. Demonstrating a commitment to employee development will attract ambitious candidates looking to enhance their skills and advance their careers.   

Incorporate a Competitive Compensation Package

While it may not be possible to provide specific salary figures in the job description, it is beneficial to mention that the company offers a competitive compensation package. Candidates in today’s job market are enticed by more than just a number, so be sure to highlight any additional benefits, such as stock options, bonuses, health insurance, or retirement plans. This information reassures candidates that their skills and expertise will be appropriately rewarded.   

Use Inclusive Language

To attract a diverse pool of candidates, remember to use inclusive language throughout the job description. Avoid gender-biased language and be mindful of any jargon or acronyms that may alienate certain groups. Focus on qualifications and experience rather than making assumptions about the gender or background of the ideal candidate.   

Proofread and Refine

Before publishing the job description, proofread it carefully for grammatical errors, typos, or inconsistencies. Ensure the content flows logically and is free of any ambiguous statements. Seek feedback from the hiring manager or colleagues to gain additional perspectives and make necessary refinements.   

Final Thoughts

Writing a good job description for tech positions requires a strategic approach, but by understanding the role, using engaging language, and providing clear expectations, you can attract top talent to your organization. With a well-crafted job description, you will be on your way to building a strong and talented tech team.  For more on recruiting tech talent, reach out to the BCTG team.

For decades, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have played a vital role in streamlining business operations and enhancing efficiency. However, like any other technology, ERP is subject to continuous evolution.   Continue reading to learn more about the ways in which ERP is evolving and paving the way for a more efficient and competitive future.   

6 Ways ERP is Evolving

 

1. Cloud-Based ERP Solutions: The Shift Towards Flexibility and Scalability

The emergence of cloud computing has revolutionized the ERP landscape. Traditional on-premise ERP systems necessitated substantial upfront investments in hardware and software, along with ongoing maintenance costs. However, cloud-based ERP solutions offer a more flexible and cost-effective alternative.   By migrating to the cloud, businesses can access their ERP systems and data from anywhere, using any device with an internet connection. This flexibility not only enables enhanced collaboration but also facilitates real-time decision-making, empowering businesses to respond swiftly to changing market dynamics.   

2. Integration with Advanced Technologies: Harnessing the Power of AI, ML, and IoT

ERP systems are increasingly integrating with advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies hold immense potential for automating routine tasks, improving data analysis, enhancing decision-making capabilities, and more.   AI and ML algorithms can process vast amounts of data to identify patterns and provide valuable insights to help businesses optimize their operations. Additionally, IoT devices capture real-time data from various sources, enabling ERP systems to make proactive and data-driven decisions.  

3. Mobile Accessibility and User Experience: Empowering Users on the Go

In an era dominated by mobile devices, most ERP systems now offer seamless mobile accessibility. Modern ERP solutions provide dedicated mobile apps or responsive web interfaces, allowing users to access critical business information and perform tasks on the go. Mobile ERP empowers employees to stay productive and informed, even when they are away from their desks.

With the rise of social media, LinkedIn has become a way to scout new talent and establish a first impression with recruiters. A report by LinkedIn stated that over 77% of recruiters use the platform for their recruitment purposes. LinkedIn not only allows a look into your professional past, but it creates a personal brand for employers to judge and assess. Similar to businesses, marketing your brand is the key to people buying your goods and services. An outstanding LinkedIn profile grows your brand, attracting employers and improving your opportunity to land your dream IT role.    Here are five suggestions to help establish your brand and make your LinkedIn profile stand out:   

Highlight your Experience

Work experience is arguably one of the most important sections of your résumé because it provides insights into how you performed in other roles and the skills you have gained along the way. As such, emphasizing your work experience on your LinkedIn page will also allow you to showcase your career progression and future potential in a new role to potential employers or recruiters. This demonstrates your capabilities of engagement and growth because your success in past roles often translates to potential in new roles, which is valued by employers. In fact, 82% of recruiters say that prior experience is the most important factor in the hiring process. So, if you have the relevant experience to share, it's important to showcase it on your LinkedIn page.    

List your Relevant Skills and Certifications

Similar to the 2-page resume rule, LinkedIn profiles should not be overloaded with irrelevant information. Identify your most relevant professional skills and certifications and showcase them on your profile. Employers looking for specific skills will quickly be able to match their open job positions to the skills you bring to the table. This is especially true for those working in IT, as some employers are looking for specific code certifications and software experience. Doing so will check off the boxes that recruiters are looking for in candidates.

  

Use Keywords Correctly

Keywords are extremely important on LinkedIn because employers will often search for specific job titles and responsibilities, and you want to make sure you are on the other end of that search. Making yourself more visible to recruiters begins with a strong LinkedIn profile and the right keywords. This includes avoiding cliché, vague, and overused phrases such as innovation, strategic, and specialized. While these words are not necessarily bad to use, finding words that more specifically and effectively describe your role will carry more weight. Instead, choose words that directly coincide with open positions that interest you. For example, if you are looking for a coding position, use words like programmer or engineer. 

 

Keep your Profile Active

Your LinkedIn page is essentially your public résumé, which means keeping it updated is very important in the eyes of employers. Recruiters want to see current updates in your career, and a lack thereof can be interpreted as employment gaps or general disinterest. LinkedIn serves as a networking platform, and not participating can make you quickly fall out of the game. Post and interact with relevant content to connect with new people and emphasize your expertise on a topic. This will expand your network and make you appear engaged and interested to recruiters.    

Utilize your Endorsements

An important but often overlooked section of LinkedIn is endorsements, which allow other professionals to validate your talents. Endorsements from credible sources and professionals can be impactful to recruiters because they see that others highly regard your skills. To elevate your endorsements, search through your connections and endorse other professionals who you feel deserve it and they may endorse you back. Or, write a polite note asking your colleges to endorse you. Having many endorsements will communicate your strengths and networking abilities to employers.    

Conclusion 

LinkedIn is becoming an increasingly important recruiting and scouting platform. Optimizing your profile can provide many professional opportunities for you. Through using these suggestions and working with staffing experts such as BCTG, connecting with other professionals, improving your network and personal brand, and making yourself visible to recruiters should be easy.   Contact the BCTG team to learn more.     Contributions from Leah Harding

With the growing demand for SAP solutions like SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), businesses are often faced with the question of whether to hire full-time or contract consultants.   Comparing the two, a full-time SAP SAC consultant is an employee of the company and someone who is responsible for managing the SAP SAC implementation, customization, maintenance, and support. A contract SAP SAC consultant, on the other hand, is a temporary employee who is hired to work on a specific SAP SAC project or for a specific period of time.  Below, we explore the factors that businesses should consider when deciding whether to hire a full-time or contract SAP SAC consultant.   

Pros & Cons of Hiring a Full-time or Contract SAP SAC Consultant

 

Full-Time Consultant

The primary advantage of hiring a full-time SAP SAC consultant is that they are dedicated to the organization, along with its processes and culture. As full-time employees, they have a long-term commitment to the organization that allows them to focus on developing a deep understanding of the business and providing long-term solutions. Full-time SAP SAC consultants are also likely to have more relevant skills and expertise, as they have had the time and resources to learn and develop new skills within the organization.  However, hiring a full-time SAP SAC consultant can be expensive, as it requires a long-term salary and benefits package. Additionally, full-time consultants may not always be the best option for businesses with fluctuating demand for SAP SAC expertise as projects come and go.   

Contract Consultant

Contract SAP SAC consultants are often hired for short-term projects, such as system upgrades, migrations, or implementations. As such, the primary advantage of hiring contract SAP SAC consultants is that they can be hired quickly, easily, and as needed, without the long-term commitment of a full-time employee. This allows businesses to scale their SAP SAC expertise up or down depending on their needs.  Another advantage of contracting SAP SAC consultants is that they bring specific skills and expertise to the project. As a contract worker, they have likely worked on similar projects in the past and know the best practices, tools, and methodologies needed to ensure project success. Contract SAP SAC consultants are also often more flexible in terms of working hours and location, as they are not tied to a specific company or office.  However, there are some disadvantages to hiring contract SAP SAC consultants. For example, it is unlikely that they will immerse themselves in the company’s processes and culture, which can lead to communication and collaboration challenges, or they may not have the same level of commitment to the project as a full-time employee, which can impact project success.   

Factors to Consider

When making the decision to hire a full-time or contract SAP SAC consultant, businesses should consider the following factors:   

SAP Staffing & Recruiting Firms Can Help

Employee retention is essential in overcoming recruitment challenges in the highly competitive IT industry, where finding and attracting skilled professionals can be a difficult task. Recruitment and hiring practices are evolving as companies seek to fill roles in data, cybersecurity, cloud, the metaverse, and other disciplines with highly capable candidates with both technical ability and durable skills. IT departments in particular have been ramping up efforts to retain valuable employees in the face of ongoing talent gap issues, and exit interviews are a vital source of feedback to consider to be successful in such efforts.   A thoughtful exit-interview process can create a constant flow of feedback on why employees stay, why they leave, and how the organization may need to change. This process can only implement change if the feedback is collected, analyzed, and the data is then shared and followed up with action.    

Importance of Exit Interviews

A study on exit interviews found that what you ask and how questions are phrased help to determine the quality of feedback. Therefore, you’ll want to be intentional with the wording and delivery of your exit interview questions so they yield information you can use.    

Questions to Ask

Here are some must-ask exit interview questions to gain valuable insight and understand potential areas for improvement for your organization:  

What prompted you to start looking for another job?

According to a turnover report from LinkedIn, the tech industry has the highest turnover rate at 13.2%. Career growth, professional development, and compensation turned out to be the most important factors when switching or quitting a tech job. Identifying the specific triggers that led the employee to consider leaving can help the company take proactive measures to retain other valuable employees who might be facing similar concerns.   

What were the best and worst aspects of your job?

This question helps you identify what future candidates may enjoy or dislike about the role, as well as how to set the right expectations for the position. The employee may not want to be 100% honest with this answer at risk of leaving a bad impression on the interviewer or employer, so make sure their answers will not have any repercussions moving forward and that the interview is conducted by a neutral third party, rather than a direct supervisor.    

How has your job changed since you were hired?

Technology and IT roles are often dynamic and can evolve rapidly due to advancements in technology, changes in company priorities, or shifts in the market. A significant limitation of the current state of technological change is that it is difficult to predict future advancements, effects on job design, and labor market responses. Understanding how the employee’s job changed over time can help identify if they were given opportunities to grow and adapt to new challenges or if their role became stagnant.     

Do you think management adequately recognized your contributions? If not, how do you think recognition could be improved?

The exit interview is the best opportunity to reveal discrepancies between management’s perception of recognition and the employees’. As 83% of tech employees leave due to dissatisfaction with the job role today, addressing recognition gaps can lead to better alignment and employee satisfaction and retention moving forward.   

Did you feel you had the tools, resources, and technical training to be successful in your role? If not, which areas could be improved, and how?

Seeking feedback on training effectiveness and if employees felt they lacked essential resources provides an opportunity to improve training initiatives to align with industry standards and technological advancements. This can help a company understand gaps in its training programs, materials, or delivery methods to better equip future employees. Solutions for enabling communication, managing workflows, and gaining insight into team performance and behavior can help reduce friction both inter-team and intra-team.   

How do you feel the work-life balance of this job impacted your decision to leave?

There has been a large employee mindset shift when it comes to life-work integration. The tech industry is taking the lead in shaping modern, remote and hybrid workplaces among many other industries. This question’s answer can also help businesses decide to keep or change their work model, whether it’s based on employee choice or something more restrictive, as the tech industry takes massive shifts toward remote work models. As we’ve already seen in “The Great Resignation,” a lack of remote work options will push tech candidates to seek more flexible employers in the years to come.   

Did you feel comfortable providing feedback or expressing concerns during your time here? If not, why?

This question helps to gauge the level of psychological safety within the organization, and how to improve communication channels between management and employees moving forward. This is increasingly important to reduce turnover in the tech industry, as 65% of employees want improved feedback, and companies that invest in regular employee feedback have 14.9% lower turnover rates than organizations where employees do not receive feedback.   

Would you recommend working at our company to a friend, and why or why not?

Although they ultimately decided to leave your company, former employees can be excellent job candidate referral sources. Ideally, every departing employee would answer “yes” to this question, but there may be some who are unsatisfied enough with their experience that they wouldn’t recommend your company to their peers, and this question may uncover underlying reasons that weren’t stated outright in previous interview questions.   

Conducting Effective Exit Interviews

Exit interviews provide a valuable opportunity for employers to gather insights and feedback from departing employees about their experiences within the company if executed properly. They provide a unique opportunity to gather candid feedback from departing employees about their experiences within the company, including what influenced their decision to leave, areas where the company can improve, and potential issues affecting employee satisfaction and retention.   Not only should exit interviews provide a safe place for open communication about company practices and areas for improvement, but the questions should also be positively framed to give the employee the ability to voice their opinions without repercussion. The feedback should then be analyzed to identify patterns, address organizational shortcomings, and make data-driven decisions to improve the overall work environment.   Conducting exit interviews allows IT companies to learn from departing employees and take proactive measures to retain and attract top talent, leading to a more successful and sustainable organization.   To learn more about mastering the exit-interview process, reach out to the experts at BCTG.      Contributions from Julia Hoffman
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the traditional office workspace changed permanently. After the transition to remote teams and employees, many companies saw increased productivity and convenience. While navigating a digital working environment has its challenges, it also provides many benefits, including staffing costs, convenience, and satisfaction. Remote work has become a preference among candidates as well as businesses, so considering the switch could be a breakthrough for your business. In this piece, we outline five benefits of hiring remote employees and embracing a digital tech workspace.  

Benefits of Hiring Remote Employees

 

Wider Candidate Selection Pool 

Before the pandemic, many in-person workplaces only hired individuals geographically close to the office, or people who were willing to relocate for their job. For companies not located in big cities, this can seriously limit recruiting abilities. With remote employees, companies are not restricted by geographical boundaries, meaning that tech candidates all over the country, and perhaps even outside of the country, can now be considered to fill positions. This ensures that recruiters are hiring the best candidate possible, instead of just the closest candidate available. This can also improve inclusivity and accessibility for a firm as individuals with disabilities and minority groups, who may often face physical or emotional barriers in a typical office environment, now have access to these positions.    

Cost-Effective  

Hiring remote employees is often cheaper because you do not need to provide a workspace. Office leases, utilities, food, and more can become costly, whereas remote employees do not have any physical requirements such as a cubicle, catered lunches, or an administrative staff to help run the day-to-day operations. In fact, IBM saved $50 million, and Sun Microsystems saved $68 million, in real estate costs by transitioning to remote work. Also take into account that working remote takes out any relocation costs you may have to cover for long-distance new hires. Overall, remote hiring can seriously cut down on extra expenses making it more cost-effective.   

Increased Engagement and Productivity 

Although there has been stigma about how working remotely can decrease productivity, a lot of companies report seeing the opposite. Despite the quick transition, 61% of workers reported their productivity rose when working remotely. Remote tech workers have fewer distractions, more comfortable workspaces, and the ability to take more breaks, meaning time spent working is often more productive. Furthermore, remote employees are also less likely to take sick days as being at home is often a better place to deal with a cold than the office.     

Cutting Out Commute Times  

Statistics state that the average remote worker saves between 2 and 5.5 hours a day from not commuting to work. The time workers save from not commuting they can instead spend on work, therefore, increasing productivity or time spent on actual work tasks. This is also an appealing aspect for IT workers, as they often have an easier time balancing their work and personal life by cutting out commute time. It may allow them to be more flexible with working and managing kids, exercising, etc., which overall leads to happier employees. According to a study, workers who were remote reported being happy 22% more then workers who always go into the office. Another external plus to cutting out commuting is its positive effects on the environment. Carbon emissions are reduced when every employee is not driving to the office daily.    

Increased Retention Rates 

Lastly, remote work is a more attractive option for employees. In fact, 1 in 2 people won't return to jobs that don't offer remote work. It is an option that allows for more flexibility than a traditional work environment. Employees can take breaks to exercise, go outside, play with their dogs or kids, and do more therapeutic activities. Working from home has been shown to lower stress levels, and happier employees are employees that are more likely to be satisfied with their company and role.  Not only is it good for current employees, but it is often a big selling point for potential candidates. Overall, many working professionals are looking for the flexibility that working remote can offer.

The job of an SAP consultant is to provide advice and expertise on software integrations and implementations, develop and integrate technical specifications, and assess existing SAP solutions systems and software to meet the needs of the client. They ensure that the workflows for the computer system are optimized and work well for the end-users.  To become a successful SAP consultant, you need a combination of technical, functional, and interpersonal skills. The specific skills required may vary depending on the SAP module you specialize in (e.g., SAP Finance, SAP HR, SAP Supply Chain, etc.), but in this piece, we outline some essential skills that are generally needed and growing in demand for any SAP consultant.  

SAP Application Knowledge

To get a job in this field, you will need extensive technical knowledge about SAP’s solutions and services. A skilled SAP consultant should be familiar with the software’s features to set up and alter configurations to meet the company’s needs. Below are a few of the most in-demand:    

SAP ABAP

ABAP is by far the most important SAP programming skill – followed by SAP Fiori and SAPUI5. Basic ABAP skills include using basic ABAP statements, analyzing programs with the ABAP debugger, or calling function modules. As companies increasingly rely on SAP software to manage their operations, the demand for skilled SAP ABAP developers has skyrocketed.   

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)

SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) brings together data and analytics, artificial intelligence, application development, automation, and integration in one, unified cloud environment. As more companies aim to pursue digital transformation while preserving their core system, finding an SAP consultant with knowledge in or experience with this solution is a must.   

SAP S/4HANA

SAP S/4HANA is a newer version of SAP’s ERP system, and it is in high demand due to its ability to handle complex business processes and real-time data analytics. Organizations use SAP S/4HANA to integrate and manage business functions – such as finance, human resources, procurement, sales, manufacturing and service – in real time. S/4HANA can help your business drive growth across the board, but implementing and maintaining the complex solution requires specialized knowledge and expertise.  

SAP Financial Accounting (FI) and SAP Controlling (CO)

SAP FICO is a core functional module used for external and internal financial reporting, enabling businesses to record and manage their transactional financial data more efficiently. As companies grow and need better resources to monitor and manage their financial data, this SAP skill is increasingly growing in demand.   

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

SAC is a cloud visualization tool that combines Business Intelligence (BI), predictive analysis, and planning functionalities into one intuitive, accessible user interface to enable faster, better decision-making for businesses. Knowledge in this particular solution is an increasingly important skill for SAP consultants to have as data and analytics are critical to help companies put their data to work, enabling them to realize new opportunities and build business models.   

SAP Sales and Distribution (SD)

SAP SD is a core functional module that allows organizations to store and manage customer- or product-related data – such as sales orders, deliveries, pricing, shipping, billing, invoicing, and more – to streamline sales processes and provide a seamless customer experience. A consultant must support the implementation of SAP SD with an analysis of the requirements of the business, including workshops and mapping to develop SAP SD and ensure it meets the needs of the organization.   

Business Process Knowledge

A strong understanding of business processes and the ability to map these processes into SAP functionality is a highly needed skill in SAP consulting.  The ability to configure SAP systems according to client needs and customize functionalities to meet specific requirements is crucial to provide effective solutions to clients' changing business needs.     

Problem-Solving Skills

SAP consultants often face complex issues that require analytical and problem-solving abilities to identify and resolve problems efficiently. As the market changes and innovations continue to emerge, SAP products and solutions will also keep evolving, requiring constant learning and adaptation to change. Former systems and products will become obsolete, and new ones will take over, so it is essential to stay on top of innovations and open to learning these new processes.   

Technical Communication

Excellent communication skills are essential for SAP consultants to understand client requirements, explain technical concepts, and collaborate effectively with team members and stakeholders. The ability to thoroughly understand and break down technical concepts for different audiences is a crucial skill in this industry. Articulating your SAP consulting knowledge to others and providing beginner training will help your team gain knowledge and potentially earn you a pay raise.   

Finding the Right SAP Job

These are only a few examples of SAP skills that are in high demand with an increasing number of companies seeking employees with the necessary skills. By improving your portfolio of SAP skills, you can increase your earning potential and employability with some of the world's leading companies. Additionally, obtaining relevant SAP certifications can validate your skills and boost your credibility as an SAP consultant.  When it comes to finding an SAP consultant for your team, the decision depends on the specific needs and requirements of the project, as well as the business’s budget, availability, and commitment. Obtaining the necessary skills will ensure your success in reaching your tech career goals and open your options in the SAP world.

Conducting an interview is one of the important aspects of recruiting, as it can be one of the first impressions the candidate has of the company. When conducted poorly, it can end up being awkward, unsuccessful, and time-consuming – both for the candidate and the recruiter. However, knowing the tips and tricks for conducting and ending an interview well can demonstrate a good first impression of the company and of the representative who's conducting the interview. Ending an interview effectively can set the tone for the rest of the recruiting process and ensure all the right questions are being answered.   In this piece, we provide a few tips on how to end an interview.  

Tips for the Interviewer

 

Allow Them to Ask Questions

Allowing the candidate to ask questions at the end of any interview can be a crucial part in evaluating the individual. The questions that candidates ask can be a key indicator of if they are the right fit for a position. Not only does this allow candidates to get answers to questions you may not have covered during the interview, but it can also provide insight into if the candidate shows a genuine interest in the role and has researched the company and the position. If they focus on irrelevant questions or ask no questions at all, that may be a red flag. Instead, expect quality questions such as the challenges and qualifications for this role and how they may fulfill them. Thoughtful questions demonstrate that they understand the role for which they are applying and have completed their research beforehand.   

Don’t Lead Them On

Unless you feel like you have met the perfect candidate and want to hire them on the spot, keep your language impartial. The candidate you are interviewing is likely not your last. As such, using polarizing language suggesting they did or did not receive the position could rub the candidate the wrong way, especially if it might be bad news. Even if your candidate is checking all the boxes, there are more people you may talk to along the way who could be an even better fit. As such, it is best to remain impartial, even in conversations about benefits or company culture. Allow an open window of time for negotiation and don’t be too definitive as it could scare candidates away.    

Promote Transparency

There is nothing worse than expecting to hear from a company and getting ghosted. In fact, job seekers reported not knowing where they stand as their number one annoyance within the recruitment process. Whether they received a position or not, telling them how and when the next steps look like will reflect positively on your organization. Candidates want to know if they will be receiving an email or call and what the appropriate timeline for receiving that communication is. Not giving a timeline or communication method just leaves candidates unsure, and they may be more likely to move on to another organization.      

Thank Them for Their Time

An obvious, but often overlooked, part of an interview is thanking the candidate for their application. While they may or may not be the ideal candidate, you want them to remember their interview process as pleasant. Even if the candidate is not receiving that specific role, you never know when their skills could come in handy in the future. So, thanking them and being considerate will leave a positive impression on them when making their evaluation of your organization.        

Looking Forward

When ending an interview, it is important to be mindful of your approach and execution, as it ultimately reflects on your organization as a whole. Remaining professional while also being considerate and attentive will ensure a positive hiring and recruitment process.

Reference checks are often one of the final points in the recruiting and interview process to ensure that a potential candidate will be a good fit for the role. As such, it’s important to plan and conduct these checks intentionally to ensure you gather a complete understanding of their work history and how it relates to the position you are looking to fill.   Getting the most out of well-executed reference checks in the tech industry is crucial for making informed hiring decisions. By ensuring a good fit, both for the company and the employee, you can also improve retention rates, as employee turnover can be costly and time-consuming for a business. This is especially important in the tech industry, a sector with one of the highest turnover rates at 13.2% according to LinkedIn.  Below, we’ve outlined some considerations to help you get the most out of a reference check for a potential tech candidate.  

What to Do When Checking References

 

Plan Ahead

Establish a clear process for checking references before you even start interviewing candidates. Determine who will be responsible for reaching out to references, what questions will be asked, and how the information will be documented.  Once your plan is in place, begin by soliciting feedback from all the people in your organization who interviewed the candidate. Ask them about their concerns, what they would like to follow up on, and what they wish they knew more about. This will help to form the basis for your questions and to close any gaps in the candidate’s profile.   

Request Relevant References

Let candidates know you will be speaking with references and ask them to provide references who have direct knowledge of their work in the industry. These references could be supervisors, colleagues, or even clients they worked closely with on technical projects. You should also ask them to let you know if any references listed should not be contacted for confidentiality purposes.   Further, it can be helpful to request references from different stages of the candidate's career, as this will give you a comprehensive view of their growth and performance over time.  

Prepare Specific Questions

Prepare your questions ahead of time so you know how much time you need and so that you don't miss any important points. Avoid asking yes or no questions, as these will not provide much insight into the candidate’s abilities or work style. Craft open-ended questions that allow the reference to provide detailed and specific information about the candidate that speaks specifically to the candidate's role and responsibilities within the tech industry. For example:   

Verify Technical Competence

In the tech industry, technical skills are crucial. Ask references to assess the candidate's proficiency in relevant programming languages, tools, frameworks, and technologies. You can also inquire about their ability to learn new technologies quickly, as this is an extremely desirable characteristic.   External observers can provide a valuable outside perspective of the candidate's strengths and limitations in the workplace, and can provide context to technical skills listed on a resume.  

Behavioral Insights

In addition to technical skills, reference checks are a good opportunity to assess the candidate's soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, time management, and adaptability. Ask references for examples of how the candidate has demonstrated these skills in a tech environment, and look for patterns and consistency in the feedback you receive from multiple references. Find out how the candidate handled difficult situations, technical setbacks, or conflicts within the team. Understanding their problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills can provide valuable insights into how they will contribute to their new team.  

Cultural Fit

Cultural fit is important for team cohesion and long-term success, as well as to know if the candidate will be happy in their new position. Inquire about how well the candidate integrated into the team's culture and whether they contributed positively to the work environment.   Take into consideration the fact that the previous company they worked for may have had a different culture, so try not to compare the two against one another, but rather focus on the impact made by the candidate and use it to decipher how they may adapt to a new culture.   

Best Practices

Be sure to let the reference know why you are calling, what company you work for, and describe the position that the candidate is applying for at the beginning of the call. Phrase questions in a positive way, looking for more factual evidence of what makes them a good candidate for the role rather than skepticism of their abilities. This can provide you with open and honest feedback on how the reference believes the candidate will fit in with the company or how they will adjust to the specific position.   Put the reference at ease by assuring them your conversation will remain confidential and will not be revealed to the former employee. This will help you obtain the best factual and honest feedback possible. When listening to the reference’s responses, keep the discussion grounded in the facts rather than focusing on opinions.   

BCTG Can Help

Remember that reference checks are an important part of the hiring process, providing valuable insights into a candidate's technical competence, work ethic, and interpersonal skills. Document feedback and use the information you gather to make an informed hiring decision that aligns with your team's needs and goals. Well-executed reference checks can be truly beneficial to ensure you hire the right candidate for your tech role, and improve your retention rates.  For help with your tech staffing and recruiting needs, contact BCTG.    Contributions from Julia Hoffman

The tech industry, along with several other fields, has been trying to better its systems to incorporate DE&I for years with 80% of employers having DEI initiatives underway. Although there is a strong business case for enhancing diversity and inclusion in the workforce – with tech talent and job candidates increasingly wanting to support and work for ethical companies – being inclusive is also an inherently good practice to pursue.   The tech industry is driven by innovation and creativity, meaning overcoming challenges will require diversity of thought and a wide range of perspectives. To improve your company's overall strategy, consider the following best practices for enhancing diversity and inclusion in the workforce.     

Best Practices for Diversity and Inclusion

 

Upskill and Reskill Your Teams

Upskilling and reskilling occur when companies train employees in new skills while advancing their already existing skills. While training is important in any role, upskilling and reskilling can promote a more equitable workforce along with refreshing your employees’ knowledge.   The increasing use of automation such as AI, coding software and languages, and remote environments can have disproportionate effects on women and minority groups. This means training can allow employees to have equitable opportunities regardless of their tech background while catering to people's prior experience with technology, socioeconomic status, and more. Ultimately, upskilling and reskilling your teams will promote equity and inclusion in growth.     

Consider Remote Work

Remote work has several benefits, among them is increasing diversity in the hiring and recruitment processes. When hiring employees to work remotely, managers are not limited to a geographical area to pool from. They can explore applicants from all over the country and even all over the world. This means tapping into populations outside of your area or outside of cities with a high cost-of-living.   Studies show that when companies expanded their workforce outside traditional hubs, such as New York and Washington, D.C., they saw increases in minority hires. Additionally, offering remote work can be more inclusive toward working parents or people with physical disabilities, as working from home is overall more convenient and flexible.    

Evaluate Unconscious Biases

Part of improving your DE+I and overall company culture is admitting where you have issues. Make sure you are practicing self-awareness by teaching about unconscious bias and where it can happen in a business environment.   Often potential bias can occur in the hiring process, so make sure you include diverse hiring panels and inclusive job descriptions when implementing recruitment policies. Tech leaders need to promote an inclusive culture that matches their target demographic.     

Set Measurable DE&I Goals and Metrics

In order to stop unconscious biases and promote an inclusive environment, tech leaders should implement bias assessment metrics and make decisions from the analytics of the data. Metrics you can assess include numbers regarding representation throughout the organization and at the leadership level, ERG engagement, employee satisfaction, and more. Looking at these analytics can help you identify places where your firm might fall short.   Additionally, set goals so there is incentive to grow your DE&I strategy. Following metrics and setting goals will allow organizations to see where they are struggling and set a structured plan on how to improve them.    

Moving Forward

Fostering a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion is important to growing your business and attracting tech talent as candidates are looking to work for ethical and diverse organizations. It is also important to remember DE&I is not a checklist but instead a strategic initiative that should be embedded in your organization's practices and culture. As the tech world continues to evolve, integrating DE&I goals and systems should be a top priority.   Contact BCTG to talk with experts about structuring future DE&I goals and initiatives through staffing and recruiting.     Contributions from Leah Harding

Our Client is a multi-brand holding company owning some of the most popular fashion and clothing brands across the retail industry. As a conglomeration of various established brands and retailers, the holding company quickly realized the lack of data accessibility and use as a key obstacle to their strategic goals for the company as a whole, as well as the individual brands. Realizing the need for an experienced data engineer resource capable of managing the complex requirements of multiple data types, formats, locations, and more, our Client contacted BCTG for help identifying the right-fit resource.  

Business Challenges

Our Client's growth and the acquisitions under our Client’s umbrella over recent years has created an unsustainable data environment with various data architectures disjointed and misaligned across the business. As such, the lack of a consolidated data warehouse left executive leadership lacking a global, holistic, and data-backed view of the business across the various brands. Data trust was at an all-time low in the business as no centralized data mart provided the robust reporting and analytics needs of the business.  

Contracting an Experienced Data Engineer with BCTG

Taking into account these specific challenges, coupled with the unique nature of our Client’s multi-brand, multi-national business, BCTG tapped its robust network of fit-for-purpose consultants to identify multiple potential candidates with the necessary technical skills, project management expertise, and experience to delight our Client beyond the job description. Following individual interviews with our Client, one of BCTG’s candidates was selected and quickly embedded himself as a valuable resource on our Client’s team, providing weekly updates to stakeholders and incorporating feedback continuously to ultimately realize an enhanced data warehouse with advanced capabilities leveraging DBT and Snowflake as the technical assets.

Hiring a temporary employee can be extremely effective, especially in a fast-changing and flexible workplace. Businesses are looking to optimize their workforce while minimizing risk, maximizing cost-effectiveness, and using a temp-to-hire strategy can be a great tool as it introduces many benefits that the traditional full-time hiring approach cannot offer. By incorporating this recruitment tool, employers can improve their hiring success and create a more productive and promising workplace for their employees.  Below are three benefits that you should consider when using a temp-to-hire recruitment strategy.  

Benefits of a Temp-to-Hire Strategy

 

Employee Test-Run and Retention 

Similar to the "try before you buy” ideology, a temp-to-hire employee allows you to see how an employee will perform within your organization without making a significant investment. While temporary employees are typically used for short-term projects and specific tasks, seeing how they work in real-time may help you fill an open full-time position down the line, as you have seen their strengths and qualifications. This strategy allows for a trial period to determine if they are the right candidate for your organization before making an official decision.   Furthermore, because you know that you are hiring a candidate that fits in well within your business, you can improve employee satisfaction in your organization. Hiring managers can feel confident they’re making the right choice, as sometimes it's hard to predict whether a candidate will fit in well based on just the interview process, and candidates know they like the culture and environment of the business because they have already got to experience it.   

Easy Transitions and Flexibility 

When using temp-to-hire employees, these employees can be particularly useful when needing extra help. Oftentimes business can go in cycles of busy and off seasons. During these busy periods, bringing in temporary employees can take some of the workload off your full-time and overworked employees, and eventually be a new addition to the team permanently. Additionally, temporary employees are overall more flexible than traditional hires. If your organization decides to make them permanent employees, the transition is often uncomplicated and smooth. For example, onboarding can be fast and easy when the employee already has an email, access to company programs and software, and has completed the basic paperwork. Overall, a temp-to-hire strategy can foster smoother transitions within your organization and can relieve stress off your teams and recruitment process.    

Cost and Time-Effectiveness 

The hiring and recruiting process can be long and expensive. Temp-to-hire allows you to fill positions generally faster because you know employees have basic requirements fulfilled, as they have already been screened by a staffing agency. This removes the initial selection process like background checks and basic information done by in-house recruiters. Also, temporary employees can bypass some tedious and expensive tasks usually completed by recruiters, such as advertising positions, arranging interviews, etc. These tasks can be costly and take time, which can also draw out expenses. Additionally, they do not require an extensive training process because they typically are already familiar with the programs and software your company uses. In fact, 70% of hiring managers prefer to train their current employees for different roles instead of hiring someone new, demonstrating that temp-to-hire is favored even when considering dissimilar roles.   

Temp-to-Hire with BCTG

The temp-to-hire recruitment strategy can have tons of benefits for your business, especially if you are looking for flexibility and quick turnaround. Through adopting this approach, recruiters can cut down on costs while ensuring seamless transitions, less turnover, and a low stress hiring process. If you are considering utilizing a temp-to-hire plan, connect with experts at BCTG to navigate your hiring and recruitment strategy.     Contributions from Leah Harding

In an increasingly complex and competitive landscape, IT companies today need to be in tune with the latest and greatest when it comes to new tools for recruiting and onboarding. Traditional recruiting and onboarding methods may not be as effective in the fast-paced IT industry. This is where new technologies come into play, transforming the way companies identify, attract, and integrate IT professionals into their teams.  In this eBook, we outline some of those emerging and innovative technologies that have the potential to change the IT recruiting and onboarding landscape.   

New Technologies and Approaches

 

AI-Powered Candidate Screening

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made significant strides in recent years, particularly in the realm of candidate screening. Traditional methods of manually sifting through stacks of résumés can be time-consuming and prone to errors. AI-powered tools can swiftly analyze résumés and job applications, identifying the best-fit candidates based on specific keywords, skills, experiences, and qualifications. These tools not only save valuable time but also help recruiters focus their efforts on candidates who closely match the required criteria. Utilizing AI-powered screening tools allows companies to streamline their recruiting process and ensure they are only considering candidates who meet their specific needs.  Moreover, AI can go beyond simple keyword matching. Machine learning algorithms can learn from past hiring decisions and continuously refine their selection criteria, leading to more accurate and effective candidate recommendations. This technology empowers recruiters to make data-driven decisions and identify candidates who possess the potential to excel in complex IT roles.   

Video Interviews and AI Assessment

In-person interviews have long been the cornerstone of the recruiting process, but with the rise of remote work and global talent pools, video interviews have gained prominence. Video interviews enable recruiters to connect with candidates from anywhere in the world, expanding the talent search beyond geographic limitations. Additionally, new AI-driven video interview platforms can assess candidates' facial expressions and tone of voice to determine their suitability and enthusiasm for the role. This technology adds a new layer of objectivity and efficiency to the interview process, helping recruiters make more informed decisions.

A major eCommerce retailer rapidly disrupting the vitamin, nutrition, and supplement space was facing considerable operational challenges as a result of its rapid growth. Sprawling data siloes, mismanaged data, and ill-informed reporting highlighted a dire need for a resource with the experience and expertise to help the company avoid the data and technical pitfalls that face many digitally-native start-ups. Our Client engaged BCTG to help diagnose the challenges facing the organization and identify the right-fit resource to manage the mounting data obstacles and provide a foundation for future growth leveraging a data-backed, analytical organizational approach.  

Business Challenges

Fragmented, siloed marketing data existed in both third-party vendor systems and unstructured environments, and sales data was divided across two separate third-party vendor systems, making it ineffective and unable to be leveraged for decision-making or planning. Financial and customer data was also disparate across three separate systems, preventing the organization from gaining a holistic and clear understanding of the business and customers. These unstructured, fragmented data siloes led to inaccurate or outdated reporting, creating distrust in the data and preventing informed, data-backed decision-making. Data processing costs in Snowflake were already high and the team lacked recourse in monitoring or mitigating undue costs and unnecessary spend. Finally, the company lacked a singular data extraction tool to allow for more agility and flexibility in leveraging the data.  

Overcoming Mounting Data Challenges with BCTG

With these challenges in mind, BCTG leveraged its robust network of fit-for-purpose consultants and comprehensive, proprietary screening process to identify 3 potential candidates with 5+ years’ experience in the technologies making up our Client’s technology ecosystem. Each candidate had experience addressing similar challenges across a valuable mix of eCommerce brands, digital natives, and retailers. Following individual interviews with our Client, one of BCTG’s candidates was selected as a one-year, remote resource tasked with identifying and addressing the underlying technical, operational, and strategic issues underlying the above challenges.

The tech job market is constantly evolving, demanding professionals to stay ahead of the curve. A successful job search in these industries requires a strategic approach, and one of the most valuable tools at your disposal is a skilled recruiter. Recruiters play a pivotal role in connecting job seekers with the right opportunities, and they can be a powerful asset to jumpstart your job search.   

Understanding the Role of Recruiters

Recruiters are intermediaries between job seekers and employers. They specialize in identifying potential candidates who match specific job requirements and cultural fits for the companies they represent. In the tech space, recruiters possess deep industry knowledge and insights that can provide candidates with a competitive edge as they look for a new role.   

Benefits of Working with a Recruiter

As a candidate in the tech industry, there are a number of benefits of working with a recruiter:   

Access to Hidden Opportunities

Not all opportunities are advertised publicly; many companies prefer to engage recruiting and staffing agencies to find suitable candidates, especially for specialized roles. By working with a recruiter, you gain access to a broader range of job openings that might not be accessible through traditional job boards.   

Tailored Job Matching

Recruiters excel in finding the perfect fit between a candidate's skills, experience, and career goals as well as a company's requirements. In tech, where specific skills and certifications are often essential, a recruiter's expertise can help match you with roles that align precisely with your capabilities.   

Industry Insights and Trends

Recruiters are well-versed in emerging industry trends and can provide valuable insights into what skills are in high demand. This information can guide you in upskilling or obtaining certifications that will make you more appealing to potential employers.   

Résumé and Profile Enhancement

A strong résumé and online professional profile are crucial to landing a job, and recruiters can provide guidance on optimizing your résumé and profile to highlight your relevant skills and experience effectively. They know what employers are looking for and can help you craft a compelling narrative that aligns with the industry's expectations and needs.   

Interview Preparation

Technical interviews can be challenging, often involving coding tests, whiteboard sessions, and in-depth discussions. Luckily, recruiters can help you prepare for these interviews by providing insights into the interview process, sharing common questions, and even conducting mock interviews to boost your confidence – ensuring you are ready for the interview process from the start.   

Negotiation Support

Negotiating job offers can be intimidating, especially when it comes to discussing salary, benefits, and other compensation-related matters. Recruiters have experience in these negotiations and can offer valuable guidance to ensure you secure a favorable package without leaving money on the table.   

Time Efficient

Job searching is a time-consuming endeavor. From researching companies to submitting applications and preparing for interviews, the process can quickly become overwhelming. When you work with a recruiter, you can offload a significant portion of the legwork, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your career development like obtaining a new certification.   

Networking Opportunities

Recruiters often have extensive networks in the industry. By building a strong relationship with a recruiter, you can tap into their connections, which might lead to referrals and introductions to decision-makers within organizations. Networking is a potent tool in the tech industry, and recruiters can help you expand your professional circle.   

Long-Term Partnership

Working with a recruiter can be the start of a long-term professional relationship. Even if you land a job quickly, staying connected with your recruiter can be beneficial for future career moves. As your career progresses, they can continue to provide guidance and insight based on their in-depth understanding of your skills and long-term career goals and aspirations.

Finding the right talent for your organization involves sifting through countless résumés, conducting interviews, and evaluating candidates' suitability for your company's unique needs. However, this can often be a time- and resource-intensive process. With the help of a staffing and recruiting firm, though, your organization can streamline and enhance the hiring process, helping you to find the ideal candidate.   

Benefits of Industry-Specific Staffing Firms

 

Specialized Knowledge and Expertise

One of the primary reasons industry-specific staffing and recruiting firms stand out is their specialized knowledge and expertise in a particular sector. These firms focus exclusively on specific industries, such as healthcare, IT, finance, engineering, and more. This specialization allows them to gain a deep understanding of the industry's nuances, trends, technologies, and skill requirements. Consequently, they possess the ability to identify candidates with the precise qualifications and experience needed for success in that industry.  For example, a healthcare-specific staffing firm would be well-versed in the unique certifications, licensing requirements, and regulatory knowledge that tech healthcare professionals need. This knowledge ensures that the candidates they recommend are not only skilled but also aware of the complexity and criticality of complying with industry regulations.   

Access to Niche Networks

Staffing firms have cultivated extensive networks within their respective sectors. They often have established relationships with top professionals, both active and passive job seekers, who are looking to make a change in their careers. This gives them access to a pool of candidates that general staffing firms might not be aware of.  Furthermore, these niche networks enable recruiters to tap into referrals from industry insiders. Professionals within a specific sector are more likely to recommend individuals who are a perfect fit for the industry's unique demands. This referral network can lead to quicker and more effective placements.   

Understanding Complex Skill Sets

Many industries require highly specialized skill sets that might not be immediately comprehensible to someone outside the field. Industry-specific staffing firms understand the intricacies of these skill sets, ensuring that candidates possess the specific abilities required for success.  For instance, in the technology sector, different programming languages, frameworks, and tools are constantly evolving. A technology-focused staffing firm can accurately evaluate a candidate's proficiency in these technologies and match them with positions that demand those exact skills.   

Tailored Screening and Assessment

Industry-specific staffing firms can tailor their screening methods to identify the qualities and skills that matter most in their respective industries, resulting in more efficient evaluations and higher-quality candidates being presented to clients.  Consider the engineering sector, where projects often demand a deep understanding of intricate design principles and calculations. An engineering-specific staffing firm can assess candidates' technical abilities and ensure they possess the critical problem-solving skills required for the job.   

Cultural Alignment

While technical skills are essential, cultural fit is equally important for long-term success within an organization. Industry-specific staffing firms are attuned to the unique cultural nuances of their industries, helping them match candidates not only based on skills but also on their compatibility with the company's values and work environment.  A finance-specific staffing firm, for instance, understands the fast-paced and results-driven nature of the financial industry. They can identify candidates who fit well within the organization’s culture and thrive in such an environment, leading to better employee retention and satisfaction.   

Faster Time-to-Fill

Time is of the essence when it comes to recruitment. Staffing firms can significantly reduce the time-to-fill metric due to their targeted approach, as they already have a deep understanding of the industry's talent landscape, which means they can quickly identify potential candidates who meet the criteria and spend time focusing on other value-added tasks.   

Final Thoughts

Industry-specific staffing and recruiting firms bring a wealth of benefits to the table. When you partner with an industry-specific staffing firm, you're not just getting a recruitment service – you're gaining a strategic ally that comprehends the intricacies of your field and can help you secure the right talent to drive your organization forward.  At BCTG, we possess knowledge in an array of industries, from pharmaceuticals to fashion and retail. Contact us today and learn how we can help fulfill your company's staffing and recruiting needs. 
The role of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) in an organization goes far beyond being a mere buzzword or checklist item. Companies that understand the importance of diversity in the workplace and prioritize DE&I are reaping tangible benefits, and the staffing and recruiting sector is no exception. Beyond its moral and ethical implications, DE&I has emerged as a powerful driver of business efficiency, leading to enhanced productivity, innovation, and sustainable growth.   Efficiency in business isn't just about optimizing internal processes; it's also about expanding your reach and penetrating new markets effectively. DE&I can help you achieve this by ensuring your teams are equipped with the cultural competence needed to connect with diverse customer bases.  In this piece, we explore the importance of diversity in the workplace and how DE&I efforts can improve your business efficiency.    

The Importance of Diversity in the Workplace

 

Enhanced Talent Acquisition and Retention

A diverse workforce offers a wealth of perspectives, experiences, knowledge, and skillsets, resulting in a more robust talent pool. When your organization prioritizes DE&I in the staffing and recruiting process, you naturally attract candidates from various backgrounds and demographics. This diversity in the candidate pool allows you to tap into a wider range of skill sets and experiences, ultimately leading to more effective and strategic placements.  Furthermore, diverse talent is more likely to stay with an organization that values and respects their unique contributions. Reduced turnover leads to increased efficiency in terms of time, resources, and knowledge retention. By fostering an inclusive work environment through your staffing and recruiting efforts, you can create a positive cycle of attracting and retaining top talent.   

Innovation and Problem-Solving

A homogeneous workforce tends to generate similar ideas, limiting the range of creative solutions, while a diverse team brings together individuals with distinct perspectives, leading to a broader spectrum of ideas and innovative problem-solving approaches. When your staffing and recruiting strategy focuses on DE&I, you assemble teams that think outside of the box and challenge conventional norms.  This diversity-driven innovation can give your business a competitive edge by helping you adapt quickly to changes and provide a unique value proposition to clients. DE&I can drive your business efficiency by ensuring that you're not just solving problems but solving them in the most innovative and effective ways possible.   

Improved Decision-Making

Diverse teams offer a wider range of perspectives and insights, which can lead to more comprehensive analyses and smarter decisions. When you prioritize DE&I, you build teams that approach problems from multiple angles and consider a variety of potential outcomes.  This diverse decision-making process helps prevent groupthink and ensures that decisions are based on a holistic view of the situation. As a result, your business can make faster, more accurate decisions, avoiding costly mistakes in the long run.   

Access to Broader Markets

Businesses today are operating in a global marketplace, and understanding the nuances of various markets and cultures is essential. A diverse workforce can provide you with valuable insights into different demographic groups and their preferences, behaviors, and needs. Hiring individuals who reflect the demographics of your target markets can open up new opportunities and avenues for growth.   

Enhanced Employee Performance

A work environment that prioritizes DE&I fosters a sense of belonging and inclusivity. When employees feel valued and respected, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, productive, and loyal. This translates to better job performance, higher job satisfaction, and increased overall efficiency.  Inclusive workplaces also encourage employees to share their ideas, ask questions, and seek help when needed, creating a culture of continuous learning and improvement and accelerating problem-solving.   

Making Diversity a Priority

From a staffing and recruiting perspective, the benefits of DE&I initiatives extend far beyond social responsibility. It's about recognizing that a diverse workforce isn't just the right thing to do—it's the smart thing to do. By weaving DE&I principles into your strategies, you can position your business for sustainable growth and a future where efficiency and inclusivity go hand in hand.  For help with your staffing and recruiting needs, contact BCTG today.

A significant shift on the horizon for many businesses is the imminent end-of-life of SAP ECC (Enterprise Central Component), a cornerstone ERP system for countless businesses. By the end of 2027, SAP will cease mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC, and this pivotal event holds substantial implications for businesses entrenched in this platform.   Not sure what SAP ECC’s end-of-life means for your business? Continue reading as we dive into the implications of SAP ECC's end-of-life, with a particular focus on transitioning to its successor, SAP S/4HANA.   

A Look into SAP ECC

SAP ECC has been the bedrock of many organizations, connecting and streamlining business functions like finance, procurement, manufacturing, sales, and more into an integrated framework.   Below, we outline some of the ripples that will come with SAP ECC’s end-of-like.   

Security and Compliance

With mainstream maintenance ending, SAP will discontinue regular security patches and updates. This exposes businesses to potential security vulnerabilities, heightening the risk of cyber threats and data breaches. Upholding compliance with industry regulations may become arduous without up-to-date security measures.

The cessation of SAP's official support translates to businesses navigating technical issues and glitches without professional assistance. This could lead to extended downtimes, affecting operations and customer service quality.   

Integration

Many businesses have woven their processes around SAP ECC, often integrating it with various applications and systems. Migrating from SAP ECC might entail intricate integration challenges, potentially disrupting the smooth flow of data across the organization.   

Transitioning from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA

There are steps that organizations can take to prepare for the transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA. It is important to first initiate your SAP S/4HANA journey by conducting an exhaustive assessment of your current systems and workflows. You also need to have a solid understanding of how SAP ECC is interwoven into your business landscape, identifying potential bottlenecks and opportunities, and then develop a comprehensive migration strategy aligned with your overarching business objectives. SAP S/4HANA offers a plethora of benefits, including enhanced user experiences and compatibility with emerging technologies, so evaluate how SAP S/4HANA aligns with your business requirements and objectives, too.  Once your strategy is set and you are ready to begin the migration, migrating data from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA necessitates precision and strategy, so remember to prioritize data accuracy and integrity throughout the transition. A successful transition also hinges on effective change management, so acknowledge that employees accustomed to SAP ECC will need training and support to adapt to SAP S/4HANA.  If SAP ECC was tailored to suit your specific needs, analyze how these customizations translate to SAP S/4HANA. Moreover, address integration demands with other systems to maintain uninterrupted data flow. To ensure a seamless transition, consider partnering with ERP consultants or implementation experts to smoothen your migration path as well.  Above all, remember to test the new system before full-scale deployment. This entails assessing various scenarios, workflows, and integrations to identify and rectify potential issues in advance.   

Looking Ahead

While the end-of-life of SAP ECC introduces complexities, it simultaneously presents an opportunity to modernize operations and embrace cutting-edge technologies.   By meticulously assessing your needs, crafting a robust strategy, and enlisting adept partners, you can navigate this transformation with success.

Social media has become an indispensable tool for various aspects of business operations, including candidate recruitment. Leveraging the power of social media platforms can significantly enhance your recruitment strategy by widening your reach, targeting specific demographics, and showcasing your company culture. However, as with any strategy, there are pitfalls that can hinder your success.   In this eBook, we outline some common mistakes to avoid when recruiting candidates on social media and provide insights on how to maximize your social media recruitment efforts.   

Mistakes to Avoid

 

Neglecting Strategy and Planning

One of the gravest mistakes when recruiting candidates on social media is diving in without a well-defined strategy. Failing to plan can lead to haphazard efforts and inconsistent messaging. Before you start posting job openings, take the time to outline your objectives, target audience, content themes, and key performance indicators (KPIs). A comprehensive strategy will ensure your recruitment efforts align with your overall business goals and help you measure the effectiveness of your campaigns.   

Ignoring the Importance of Employer Branding

Your company's online presence goes well beyond just job listings; it also reflects your brand's identity, values, goals, and culture. Neglecting your employer branding on social media can deter potential candidates who are seeking a workplace aligned with their personal values and beliefs. Share authentic stories and testimonials along with behind-the-scenes content to give candidates a glimpse into your company culture. Highlight your unique selling points and create a compelling narrative that resonates with your target audience.   

Overlooking Platform Selection

Different social media platforms cater to distinct demographics and industries. Failing to consider which platforms are most relevant to your target candidates can lead to a waste of resources and missed opportunities. Research where your ideal candidates are most active and tailor your content accordingly. LinkedIn is a go-to platform for professional networking, while platforms like Instagram and TikTok can be effective for reaching a younger, more creative audience.

The strain of living through a global pandemic, social turmoil, and economic uncertainty in the past few years has left people feeling mentally drained and burnt out. The last thing employees need is a workplace that further worsens their mental well-being. Despite this, a 2022 survey found that 39% of workers report that their workplace environment has negatively impacted their mental health, explaining the recently high percentage of job departures due to mental health reasons.   It is in the best interest of both the employees and the business that employers commit to the continuous effort of improving their mental health support and accommodations. Ultimately, investing in mental wellness shows candidates that their individual needs are valued and respected, and if companies are unable to demonstrate this, they will struggle to recruit and retain talent. Below, we elaborate on the value of mental health accommodations in the workplace.    

Accommodation Practices

Mental health accommodations can be divided into two main groups: things to adjust and things to implement. Things to adjust are assessments for employers to make about the current state of their workplace, considering elements that could negatively impact employee mental health. A Harvard Business Review survey reported that 84% of employees could identify at least one workplace factor that hurts their mental wellness, with the leading factors being emotionally draining work and poor work-life balance. To advance workplace culture around mental health, employers need to honestly evaluate their current practices for areas of improvement.  There are several growing mental health initiatives that companies can implement to further support their employees. The most common are offering flexible schedules and modified breaks, providing employees with more time to breathe throughout their day. Companies are also offering extra paid time off and company-wide mental health days to continue this trend. Implementing mental health benefits and accommodations such as these leave 64% of employees feeling very well supported and makes them far less likely to leave the company.   Today’s companies are utilizing these practices to create a more open culture around mental health, with the goal of encouraging conversation about challenges. However, less than half of employees said they had a positive experience when talking about mental health at work. Mental health training has grown in popularity, and there are a number of third-party services that specialize in training employers and employees, creating a more supportive, accommodating workplace culture.    

Benefits of Mental Health in the Workplace

Improving mental health support in the workplace provides widespread benefits for both employees and employers. For employees, feeling supported by an employer and other colleagues enhances feelings of acceptance and belonging, two vital contributors to mental wellness and the mitigation of mental health related issues. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE+I) is also seen as a contributor to workplace mental health, and by improving mental wellness accommodations, employees will feel seen and valued for who they are and the unique perspective they bring.   Employees that feel supported have also been found to be more productive and perform consistently well. A study conducted by Google found that teams with high psychological safety surpassed their targets by an average of 17%, and those with low psychological safety failed to meet their targets by a similar percentage. Employers also see improvements in employee retention from successful mental health practices, as workers feel valued within the workplace culture.   

Moving Forward

Mental health is a serious subject in the workplace, and employers need to treat it as one. Mental health accommodations are becoming a huge differentiator between the companies that can attract and retain top talent and those that cannot. As your company continues its journey to foster a supportive and inclusive culture around mental health, BCTG is here to help.

Seeking ways to improve core operations and processes, today’s businesses are turning to ERP systems as the solution for advanced productivity and deeper insights, all at lower risk. Especially as the workplace has adapted to hybrid work environments, an ERP system can keep businesses functioning seamlessly from the cloud. When integrated properly, an ERP solution can grant your company improvements in collaboration, agility, and speed in every department within the system’s reach.

With the potential for these benefits and many others, the number of businesses implementing ERP systems will continue to increase with an anticipated CAGR of 10.2% from 2019 to 2026. The challenge that lies ahead of many of these businesses is choosing the optimal ERP system for their unique challenges and goals.

Below, we compare ERP systems Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each to help your company determine the ideal solution to achieve your business objectives.

 

ERP System Breakdown

 

Microsoft

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP suite can be broken down into two main offerings: Business Central and Finance and Operations (F&O). Business Central is Microsoft’s ERP software for small and mid-size businesses, and for larger businesses, F&O has capabilities to be integrated across a larger, broader platform. Through these systems, Microsoft is able to cater to businesses of all sizes. One advantage of the D365 ERP system is that it carries the Microsoft name and interface. Companies that already employ Microsoft products such as SharePoint appreciate the consistency of keeping their systems brand-aligned. Another allure of the Microsoft D365 system is its ease of integration. Being a .net platform makes the system more open and available to third-party add-ons.

 

Oracle

Oracle has a few available ERP systems such as Oracle Fusion Cloud and NetSuite. Fusion Cloud is a modern, flexible option for businesses. AI and ML are vital functions of this system, automating and organizing solutions and predicting and detecting problems. NetSuite, on the other hand, is Oracle’s version of a more traditional ERP system. Featuring capabilities similar to Microsoft and SAP, one differentiator of NetSuite is its role-based dashboard, with specialized components offered in niche industries such as footwear or education. Whether it’s Fusion Cloud or NetSuite, Oracle’s ERP systems are modular, meaning their applications can be configured to the specific needs of the company.

 

SAP

Founded in 1972, SAP has the most well-established, reputable ERP system on the market. SAP has multiple system offerings, including S/4HANA, Business One, and Business ByDesign. Each system has been refined over time to deliver its customers the best system experience possible, and together, SAP customers generate 87% of total global commerce. SAP Business One is a highly tailored ERP system equipped with industry-specific features and iOS mobile applications. Business ByDesign is the leading SAP solution for small and mid-sized businesses, as 80% of its customer base is SMBs. This is because the system is built to grow as your company grows, making it an invaluable tool for change. Lastly, S/4HANA is a modular cloud-based software system that uses AI and analytics to provide accelerated, accurate solutions. Whether it’s enhanced supply chain visibility, a seamless customer experience, or deeper insights, SAP can help meet the industry-specific needs of your business.

 

Next Steps with SAP

If your organization is interested in implementing an ERP system, SAP is the one to choose as it knits together many of the benefits featured in the other two offerings. The extensive customizability and availability of add-ons in Microsoft and Oracle often lead to crowded, unfiltered ecosystems that ultimately hinder the system’s productivity. Requiring less customization yet still delivering personal experiences, SAP brings speed and standardization to any business, regardless of size or industry.

To help your business maximize the impacts of SAP implementation, BCTG has an extensive network to support your company’s needs throughout the process. Research has shown the average time it takes for SAP customers to see ROI is nine months. If your company is interested in seeing ROI and growth with SAP, reach out to our team today.

In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changer for businesses across industries – transforming the way companies operate, make decisions, and engage with customers. From enhancing operational efficiency to personalizing customer experiences, AI is proving to be a pivotal tool in driving value for modern businesses.    

Understanding AI 

Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, mainly computer systems. It encompasses various technologies like machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and more. The core idea behind AI is to enable machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, making decisions, and learning from experience. It is important to remember, however, that generative AI enables speed, and in turn, scale in your existing workflows. It will not open new workflow capabilities for your organization.  AI can be applied to a wide range of business functions, including:

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force that has the potential to reshape industries. However, the road to implementing AI successfully is not without its challenges. Crafting an effective AI strategy is crucial for organizations seeking to harness the power of AI while navigating the complexities it presents. An AI strategy serves as a roadmap that outlines how an organization plans to leverage the technology and its capabilities to achieve its goals and stay competitive in today's rapidly evolving landscape.   

The Foundation: Cross-Functional People and Resources

Before delving into the pillars of an effective AI strategy, it is essential to underscore the significance of having a cross-functional team with the right skill sets and resources. AI implementation is not solely an IT endeavor; it requires collaboration between departments such as data science, business development, marketing, legal, and operations. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that all aspects of the organization are aligned with the AI strategy, leading to more holistic and successful implementation.  Moreover, having executive input is pivotal. Leadership support not only provides the necessary resources but also sends a message throughout the organization that AI is a strategic priority. Adequate funding, hiring the right talent, and fostering a culture of innovation are foundational elements that empower an organization to execute its AI strategy effectively.   

The Pillars of an Effective AI Strategy

 

Data Governance

Data is the lifeblood of AI, making data governance a fundamental pillar of any organization’s AI strategy. Effective data governance involves establishing policies, procedures, and controls to ensure that data is accurate, consistent, secure, and compliant with regulations. A comprehensive data governance framework facilitates data quality, accessibility, and usability, ultimately enhancing the accuracy and reliability of AI models as well as ensuring data integrity.  Organizations need to define data ownership, establish data quality standards, and implement data classification to ensure sensitive information is handled appropriately. Regular audits and monitoring mechanisms are essential to guarantee data integrity, and a robust data governance strategy enables organizations to make informed decisions based on trustworthy data.   

Advanced Platforms

The success of AI initiatives heavily relies on the availability of robust data platforms that enable data storage, processing, and analysis. These platforms serve as the foundation for building AI models and conducting advanced analytics. Cloud-based solutions, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, offer scalable infrastructure and services that facilitate the handling of large datasets and the deployment of AI applications.  Choosing the right data platform involves evaluating factors such as scalability, security, flexibility, and integration capabilities. A well-chosen data platform empowers data scientists and analysts to work efficiently, accelerating the effective development and deployment of AI solutions.   

Integration 

Integrating AI into existing business processes and systems is a crucial aspect of a successful AI strategy. AI should not be a standalone entity but rather one that is seamlessly integrated into an organization's workflows to drive meaningful outcomes. Integration enables real-time decision-making by leveraging AI insights from various inputs to optimize processes and drive innovation in the most efficient way possible.  Application programming interfaces (APIs) and middleware solutions facilitate the connection between AI models and existing systems, enabling data flow and information exchange. Effective integration minimizes disruption, maximizes efficiency gains, and ensures that AI aligns with organizational objectives.   

Legal Strategy

As AI becomes more pervasive, legal considerations surrounding AI strategy are paramount. Organizations must navigate complex regulatory landscapes, data privacy laws, and intellectual property rights. Developing a robust legal strategy ensures compliance with regulations and safeguards against potential legal challenges.  Data usage agreements, privacy policies, intellectual property protections, and so on should be established to clarify ownership of AI-generated outputs and data rights. Collaborating with legal experts is necessary before pursuing any AI endeavor to ensure that the AI strategy adheres to the legal framework and mitigates any legal risks both now and in the future.   

Communications Strategy

Transparent and effective communication is vital when implementing AI initiatives. Both internal and external stakeholders need to understand the value proposition of AI, its potential impact on processes and job roles, and how it aligns with the organization's mission. An AI communications strategy should address concerns, highlight benefits, and foster a positive outlook on future AI adoption.  Regular communication channels, such as meetings, newsletters, and training sessions, can also help promote a culture of openness and understanding. Involving employees in the AI journey and addressing their questions and apprehensions cultivates a sense of ownership and enthusiasm while leading to more seamless user adoption.   

Change Management

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the tech industry in many ways – among them, it is making a significant impact on the staffing and recruitment processes. In a business environment, cost cutting and time efficiency are two critical keys to success.   When it comes to the recruiting and hiring process, AI can improve many aspects in the historically lengthy process by cutting out some of hiring managers’ mundane and tedious tasks. Additionally, it can reduce recruitment bias and make the overall experience better for candidates. In fact, 89% of HR professionals believe that AI will improve the application process. As candidates continue to flood organizations with applications, consider how AI could impact your staffing and recruiting processes.    

AI for Recruiting and Staffing

 

Increasing Time and Cost Efficiency

The recruitment process can often be drawn-out through various HR requirements and monotonous protocol. However, AI-powered software can cut down on these tasks with its generated capabilities for applicant screening, scheduling interviews, asking basic questions, and more. AI can also seek out information about candidates, making predictions and suggestions based on candidates’ LinkedIn profiles or other public data.   These AI capabilities can reduce time spent on necessary but simple tasks that often overwhelm hiring managers which, in turn, can save money and resources needed to fulfill those tasks. With AI, recruiters can cut time spent on writing initial emails, scheduling interviews, and surfing LinkedIn, for example, and focus their attention on more crucial tasks, such as conducting interviews and job advertising.  

Reducing Bias

Since AI is a non-human tool, it can eliminate the unconscious bias that often occurs in the recruitment process. Oftentimes, employees evaluating and seeking out candidates may have an intended or unintended bias about who they want to fill the position, and this bias could be based on gender, race, age, etc. However, subconscious judgments are harmful to the recruitment process and can undermine quality talent from one individual's bias.   AI does not make decisions based on preference or emotion. This can mitigate issues arising from prejudice hiring managers or interviewers, making the entire process more inclusive and fair. In fact, 68% of recruiters believe that AI will eliminate unintended bias during staffing. As such, implementing AI can help achieve some of your inclusion efforts in the staffing process.    

Improving the Candidate Experience

AI eliminates the margin of human error, meaning it won't accidentally forget to call back a candidate or wrongfully schedule an interview. In many ways, AI can make the staffing process smoother through facilitating communication in a timely manner while avoiding the risks of forgetting a potential candidate. Additionally, companies have used AI chatbots for years to help with customer service issues; however, they can be used for staffing too, as it can answer simple questions a candidate may have. On the employer side, AI can also be helpful when identifying if an employer is being ghosted so that they can stop reaching out. Overall, AI-powered software has many capabilities that reduce chances of error and improve candidate-employer communication.   

AI Drawbacks

As with any computer or technology system, there will be flaws and cautions to consider. AI can be great at predicting patterns, answering basic questions, and sending simple emails. However, oftentimes human judgment is necessary for more complex questions. While AI might have picked out the perfect on-paper candidate, human decision should also be a part of the equation. Al can't answer all our questions. For example, does this candidate work well with others? Also, AI tends to sound impersonal to candidates. Candidates want to feel as if they are communicating with a real person, and AI can make the candidate feel unheard or not important. It is also important to note all technology can glitch. AI’s algorithm can malfunction, and computer mistakes can be made. Overall, AI has immense capabilities, but keep in mind the need for human staffing resources as well.   

Incorporating AI in the Future

The decision to implement AI in your staffing processes depends on your firm's needs and goals. If you are feeling overwhelmed by applicants, considering AI might be the right choice. AI can advance organizations methods of identifying and engaging with candidates and can revolutionize how you conduct your staffing.   Contact BCTG and connect with experts for guidance on if AI is the right next step for you.     Contributions from Leah Harding

In the dynamic realm of the consumer products industry, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is reshaping the way businesses operate. AI has offered unprecedented opportunities for CPG companies to enhance customer experiences and personalization, optimize supply chains, refine marketing strategies, and more. However, professionals in the consumer products sector need to cultivate specific skills tailored to the industry's unique challenges and opportunities in order to thrive in the realm of AI.   

AI Skills for CPG Professionals

 

Consumer-Centric Data Expertise

At the heart of AI's impact on the CPG industry lies a goldmine of consumer data, and understanding and interpreting this data is a cornerstone skill for success. CPG professionals should be adept at not only gathering and organizing data but also extracting meaningful insights from it. This includes analyzing consumer behavior patterns, preferences, and purchase histories.  Additionally, a nuanced understanding of market research methodologies and consumer surveys is invaluable. These tools empower CPG companies to fine-tune their AI models, ensuring they accurately reflect the dynamic preferences of their target audiences.   

AI-Driven Personalization and Segmentation

AI empowers CPG companies to create highly personalized customer experiences. Professionals in this industry should focus on skills related to segmentation and personalization strategies which involve the ability to use AI algorithms to categorize customers based on behavior, demographics, preferences, and so on. The goal is to tailor product offerings and promotions that resonate with specific customer segments, ensuring the right product gets to the right person at the right time.  Furthermore, proficiency in tools and platforms that enable automated, AI-driven personalization is crucial. This might include familiarity with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and marketing automation platforms that leverage AI for hyper-targeted campaigns.  In one case, L'Oréal used AI algorithms to personalize its eCommerce experience. The brand used AI to analyze customer preferences and purchasing behavior, offering tailored product recommendations and content, enhancing the online shopping journey.   

Supply Chain Optimization Through AI

For CPG professionals, an in-depth understanding of supply chain dynamics and how AI can be applied is paramount. AI-driven supply chain solutions can optimize inventory management, demand forecasting, and distribution processes. Kimberly-Clark, for example, implemented AI for demand forecasting. By analyzing historical sales data and external factors like weather and economic trends, the company improved its ability to predict product demand and optimize inventory levels.  However, this level of optimization still requires skilled individuals. As such, professionals should seek to acquire skills in implementing AI-powered tools and platforms that enhance the efficiency and agility of supply chain operations. Moreover, the ability to interpret AI-generated insights to make strategic supply chain decisions is also key. This involves understanding how to translate data-driven recommendations into actionable steps that streamline operations and reduce costs and waste.   

Compliance and Regulatory Knowledge

The CPG industry operates in a highly regulated environment, with strict compliance standards and quality control requirements, so professionals must be well-versed in the legal and regulatory frameworks. This includes knowledge of industry-specific standards like labeling or traceability requirements.  Understanding how AI technologies intersect with compliance issues is also important. This involves staying updated on the legal implications of AI applications in areas such as product labeling and consumer safety to ensure your AI-driven practices or processes remain in compliance with regulatory standards.    

Brand Management and Reputation

In the CPG industry, brand equity is paramount. Professionals should be skilled in leveraging AI to enhance brand management and reputation - from monitoring social media sentiment and tracking online reviews to using AI-powered sentiment analysis tools to gain insights into consumer perceptions.  Furthermore, the ability to respond effectively to consumer feedback using AI-driven strategies is a valuable skill. This proactive approach to brand management can help companies build and protect their brand image in a competitive market.   Unilever, for example, partnered with AI analytics companies to analyze social media conversations and sentiment related to their products. They were able to break down consumer opinions and preferences, gaining insight into consumer sentiment and identifying opportunities for product improvements.   

Finding the AI Talent You Need

As the consumer products industry continues to embrace the potential of AI, professionals must hone a specialized skillset tailored to the unique demands of the sector. From consumer-centric data expertise to supply chain optimization, mastering these skills will position CPG professionals at the forefront of innovation and growth. By staying attuned to industry-specific applications of AI, professionals can lead their companies into a future where technology and consumer-centric strategies converge for success.  For help finding the talent you need to get your AI project off the ground, contact BCTG today. 
In a competitive job market, finding the right talent for your organization can be a challenging task, and outsourcing your talent hunt to a staffing and recruiting firm may be just what you need. These firms specialize in identifying, sourcing, vetting, and connecting companies with the best candidates available. However, to make the most out of this partnership, it's essential to employ effective talent matching strategies before you begin to ensure you maximize the benefits of working with a staffing and recruiting firm.   

Talent Matching Strategies to Consider

 

Clearly Define Your Requirements

Before engaging with a staffing and recruiting firm, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of the skills, experience, and qualifications you're looking for in a candidate. This includes both technical and soft skills, as well as any specific industry or domain expertise required. Providing detailed job descriptions and outlining the desired qualifications will enable the firm to narrow down its search and present you with candidates who closely match your criteria.   

Establish Strong Communication Channels

Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful partnership. Maintain open and transparent lines of communication with your staffing partner. Regular check-ins and updates on the progress of the search process will help align expectations and ensure that both parties are on the same page throughout the hiring process, resulting in a more seamless experience for the candidate and the recruiter.   

Provide Insights into Company Culture

Company culture is a significant factor in attracting and retaining top talent. Sharing information about your organization's values and missions along with work environment and team dynamics during the recruiting process will help the firm identify candidates who not only possess the necessary skills but also fit well within your company culture. This alignment can lead to long-term success and higher employee satisfaction.   

Embrace Technology and Data-Driven Approaches

Technology plays a crucial role in modern recruitment. Consider leveraging applicant tracking systems (ATS) and data analytics to streamline the hiring process, as these technologies can help in identifying suitable candidates more efficiently, assessing their qualifications objectively and making data-driven decisions. Ultimately, a firm with a tech-savvy approach can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your talent matching efforts.   

Trust the Expertise of the Firm

Staffing and recruiting firms have in-depth knowledge of the industry, market trends, and best practices for identifying and securing top talent. Be open to their suggestions and value their input in the decision-making process. Remember, you're partnering with a staffing and recruiting firm because of their specialized expertise in talent acquisition, so trust their recommendations and insights.   

Prioritize Candidate Experience

A positive candidate experience is crucial for attracting top talent. Ensure that the recruitment process is smooth, transparent, and respectful of the candidate's time and efforts. Prompt feedback, clear communication, and a well-defined interview process all contribute to a positive candidate experience. A staffing and recruiting partner can play a pivotal role in facilitating this streamlined process.   

Evaluate and Adjust Your Approach

As time passes, be sure to regularly evaluate the effectiveness of your talent matching strategies. Assess metrics such as time-to-fill and quality of hires. Seek feedback from both the staffing firm and the candidates themselves to identify any areas for improvement and use this information to refine your approach and make necessary adjustments for future hires.   

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, partnering with a staffing and recruiting firm can be a game-changer in your quest for top talent. By employing these talent matching strategies, you can maximize the benefits of this collaboration and significantly improve your chances of finding the right candidates for your organization.   To learn more about partnering with a staffing and recruiting firm for your talent needs, contact our team of experts at BCTG. 
In today's fast-paced business environment, staying ahead of the curve requires a combination of cutting-edge technology and top-tier talent. For organizations reliant on SAP, having skilled professionals who can navigate the intricacies of this robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is paramount. However, the scarcity of SAP talent in the job market has become a prevalent challenge.    

Understanding the SAP Talent Gap

SAP serves as the backbone for numerous organizations, providing a comprehensive suite of applications that streamline business processes, enhance productivity, and drive growth. Spanning across functions such as finance, human resources, supply chain, sales, customer relationship management, and more, SAP covers a wide spectrum of critical operations. As businesses expand and integrate new technologies, the demand for SAP professionals continues to surge.  Yet, recruiting and retaining highly skilled SAP experts can be a complex and time-consuming endeavor, and many organizations face difficulties in finding the right fit for their specific needs. Ultimately, the SAP talent gap arises from a disconnect between the demand for SAP skills and the availability of qualified professionals.   

The Benefits of Working with a Staffing Firm

One way to combat the SAP talent gap is by partnering with a trusted advisor who can help identify qualified candidates for a role. Below, we outline some of the key benefits of working with an SAP staffing firm.   

Specialized Expertise

SAP staffing and recruiting firms are armed with specialized knowledge in identifying and connecting businesses with the right talent for their unique needs. They possess a deep understanding of the SAP ecosystem, encompassing various modules and systems, industry applications, and technical intricacies. This expertise enables them to efficiently align your organization's requirements with the skillsets of suitable SAP professionals.   

Access to an Extensive Network

Staffing firms maintain vast networks of candidates, including both active job seekers and passive candidates who may not be actively seeking new opportunities. This network allows recruiters to tap into a broader pool of talent, significantly enhancing the probability of finding the perfect match for your organization.   

Accelerated Time-to-Fill

Recruiting for SAP positions can often be a protracted process, especially when searching for candidates with specialized skillsets. Staffing and recruiting firms possess the resources and experience to expedite the hiring process so they can swiftly identify potential candidates, conduct preliminary screenings and interviews, and present you with a curated shortlist of qualified individuals, substantially reducing the time required to fill crucial SAP roles.   

Flexibility in Staffing Solutions

Whether your organization requires a permanent hire, a temporary contractor, or a contract-to-hire arrangement, SAP staffing firms offer adaptable solutions tailored to your specific needs. This flexibility proves invaluable in dynamic business environments where resource needs may fluctuate over time or on a project-by-project basis.   

Mitigating Hiring Risks

Engaging a staffing firm aids in mitigating the risks associated with hiring as they conduct thorough screenings, including in-depth interviews, rigorous reference checks, and comprehensive skills assessments to ensure that SAP candidates align with your requirements. This rigorous vetting process also serves to minimize the likelihood of a mismatch between the candidate and the role.   

Focus on Core Business Activities

By outsourcing the recruitment process, your organization can concentrate on its core competencies and strategic initiatives. This is extremely beneficial as it allows for a more efficient allocation of resources, facilitating business growth while entrusting the specialized task of SAP talent acquisition to experts in the field.

Whether you're a recent graduate looking for your first job or a seasoned professional seeking new opportunities, building meaningful connections can open doors and lead to exciting career prospects. One group of professionals who can be particularly instrumental in this process is staffing professionals.  Staffing professionals, also known as recruiters or talent acquisition specialists, play a vital role in connecting job seekers with potential employers. They have a deep understanding of the job market and often have access to a wide range of job openings. As a potential candidate, mastering the art of networking with staffing professionals can significantly enhance your job search efforts.   In this eBook, we explore 10 different networking strategies for consultants looking to connect with staffing professionals and maximize the benefits of these relationships.   

Networking Strategies for Consultants

 

Research and Identify Relevant Staffing Professionals

Before reaching out to staffing professionals, it's crucial to understand their specific areas of expertise. Take the time to explore their LinkedIn profiles, learn more about their organization and specialty, read articles they've shared, and look for any recent successes they've celebrated. This information will help you tailor your approach and demonstrate that you've done your homework. Additionally, consider seeking recommendations or referrals from colleagues or peers who may have interacted with the staffing professional in question. A personal endorsement can go a long way in establishing a meaningful connection.  When you've identified a specific staffing professional you'd like to connect with, don't hesitate to send them a personalized message expressing your interest. Highlight specific aspects of their career or recent achievements that resonate with you. This shows that you've taken the time to genuinely engage with their profile, rather than sending a generic, one-size-fits-all message. Remember, personalized outreach can more effectively demonstrate your commitment to building a genuine connection.   

Craft a Compelling Elevator Pitch

In addition to being concise and engaging, your elevator pitch should also highlight your unique strengths and accomplishments. It should be no more than roughly 45 seconds, and it shouldn’t just be a recap of your résumé. Share specific examples of projects or initiatives you've led, and be sure to quantify your successes whenever possible. This not only provides concrete evidence of your capabilities but also showcases your value to potential employers. Moreover, consider incorporating a touch of your personality into your pitch. Whether you’re sharing your passion for problem-solving or your dedication to teamwork, giving your elevator pitch a personal touch can make you more memorable.

In today's job market, talent shortages have become a pervasive challenge for organizations across various industries. The demand for skilled professionals often outweighs the available supply, creating a competitive landscape for employers seeking top-notch candidates. This phenomenon has led many organizations across industries to consider partnering with a staffing and recruiting firm, as they can help businesses find the right talent amidst the scarcity.   

Understanding Talent Shortages

One of the primary drivers of talent shortages is the rapid technological evolution that has reshaped industries and job requirements. As new technologies emerge, the demand for professionals with specialized skills in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and cybersecurity has skyrocketed. Additionally, demographic shifts, such as an aging workforce and declining birth rates in certain regions, have contributed to the talent gap.   

The Role of Staffing and Recruiting Firms

Staffing and recruiting firms act as intermediaries between employers and job seekers, using their expertise to identify, screen, vet, and match candidates with the specific needs of organizations. In the face of talent shortages, these firms have become invaluable partners for businesses looking to navigate the competitive hiring landscape.    

How Firms Help Navigate Talent Shortages

 

Specialized Industry Knowledge

Staffing and recruiting firms often specialize in specific industries or niches. This specialization provides them with a deep understanding of the unique skills, qualifications, and certifications required for various roles within that particular industry. By leveraging this specialized knowledge, these firms can source candidates who possess the exact skillsets that organizations are seeking.   

Extensive Networks

Established staffing and recruiting firms have extensive networks that include both active job seekers and passive candidates who may not be actively looking for a new position but are open to the right opportunity. These networks allow firms to tap into a broader pool of talent, increasing the likelihood of finding the perfect match for a job opening.   

Proactive Talent Sourcing

In a talent-short market, waiting for qualified candidates to come to you is not always an option. Staffing and recruiting firms take a proactive approach to talent sourcing, actively seeking out potential candidates through various channels, including job boards, social media platforms, industry events, and professional associations.   

Comprehensive Screening and Assessment

To save employers time and ensure they receive only the most qualified candidates, staffing firms conduct thorough screening and assessment processes, from evaluating candidates' technical skills to cultural fit and overall suitability for the role. This rigorous vetting process helps ensure that only top-tier candidates are presented to the hiring organization.   

Flexibility and Adaptability

Staffing and recruiting partners understand that the job market is constantly evolving. As such, they are agile and able to adapt quickly to changing industry demands and candidate preferences. This flexibility allows them to stay ahead of the curve and continue providing value to their clients in the face of talent shortages.   

Data-Driven Insights

As with any process or practice, data is key. Leading staffing and recruiting firms leverage data analytics to gain insights into hiring trends, salary benchmarks, and candidate preferences, enabling them to make informed recommendations to clients and helping them stay competitive in attracting and retaining top talent.   

Employer Branding and Candidate Experience

Staffing and recruiting firms understand the importance of a strong employer brand, so they work closely with their client organizations to showcase their unique company culture, values, and opportunities for career growth. By highlighting these aspects, firms help clients stand out in a competitive job market, making them more appealing to potential candidates.   

Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives

Diversity and inclusion have become essential components of a thriving workplace. Staffing firms recognize the value of diverse teams in driving innovation and enhancing overall business performance, so they actively seek out candidates from diverse backgrounds, including those with varying gender identities, ethnicities, abilities, and experiences.   

Continuous Learning and Professional Development

Recognizing that the skills needed in the job market are constantly evolving, staffing and recruiting firms often advocate for a culture of continuous learning and professional development within client organizations. They encourage employers to invest in training programs, workshops, and certifications that can help existing employees upskill and adapt to changing industry demands.   

Final Thoughts

The specialized industry knowledge of these firms plays a pivotal role in helping businesses thrive in the face of talent shortages. Incorporating these strategies into their approach as well, staffing and recruiting firms further enhance their ability to address talent shortages and provide maximum value to their client organizations.   To learn more about partnering with a staffing and recruiting firm to navigate talent shortages, contact BCTG today. 
During labor shortages or periods of abnormal demand, companies may resort to subcontracting workers. Subcontractors can be tremendously valuable and provide benefits that traditional employees don’t. They provide cheaper labor in the short term than fully hiring new employees if it’s unclear whether they will be needed in the future. Additionally, subcontractors may have specialized skillsets that may only be needed for a definite initiative.  Below, we discuss key considerations and benefits of hiring your SAP subcontractor full-time.    

Considerations

Oftentimes the largest risk with hiring a subcontractor is the timing. Bringing them on full-time means losing the ability to quickly offload costly labor in the case of a recession or drop in demand. Additionally, severance packages may come into play whereas they are often absent for subcontractors. This risk may be worth it, however, if a firm knows an SAP project will continue for an extended period and retaining talent is necessary.   If it’s clear that additional full-time employees are needed, firms must then determine who to extend offers to. While subcontractors do provide a host of benefits, this does not always mean that every subcontractor on a team will be a good fit. Companies should evaluate whether a good subcontractor would make a good employee because the demands of the roles are different.  Finally, firms must consider whether a subcontractor with a niche skillset has the ability to develop alongside the company. For example, an SAP subcontractor may excel at software implementation but may not easily learn other important aspects like taking client meetings or team management. While this is manageable if the company can afford siloed skillsets, many mid-market or smaller firms require an ability to adapt to changing needs.   

Benefits

The advantages of hiring a subcontractor are numerous. From a cost standpoint, it’s more expensive to recruit, interview, and onboard external candidates. It also takes valuable time in which the hired subcontractor could already be providing services to the company.   Additionally, a subcontractor is already familiar with company culture. This is especially true for a tenured individual who has been with the firm for an extended period. Consequently, they understand what is expected of them individually and as a member of a broader culture. A proven track record of meshing with the firm’s culture may far outweigh any impressions made during short interviews with external candidates.  Subcontractors also have experience with the firm’s clients and project types. For example, an SAP subcontractor who is brought on full-time may understand company specific project flow that would take new members time to learn. Thus, this allows them to transition into the role much faster and potentially provide better results.   Finally, SAP subcontractors can prove their skills and expertise beyond basic certifications. Whether the subcontractor is with the firm for one project or an extended period, they are able to demonstrate proficiency in ways that technical interviews or résumés may not encapsulate. This may also extend to soft skills which are not as easily shown in the hiring process.    

Hiring Your SAP Subcontractor Full-Time

Ultimately, firms can choose to think of subcontracting as an extended interview in which individuals have the chance to prove themselves on the job. It’s crucial, however, to keep macro factors in mind when choosing to transition subcontractors to full-time. Firms may utilize an industry-leading talent acquisition partner like Bull City Talent Group for staffing expertise and to ensure hiring is done right.   Contributions from Jake Park-Walters

Becoming a certified SAP consultant is a significant achievement in the world of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. It not only showcases your proficiency in SAP technologies but also opens doors to exciting career opportunities. In this comprehensive guide, we walk you through the step-by-step process of obtaining an SAP certification, providing invaluable insights and tips for success.   

Unpacking the SAP Certification Process

SAP certification is a globally recognized validation of one's expertise in SAP software solutions. It’s awarded by SAP AG, the market leader in ERP systems, and demonstrates your proficiency in specific SAP modules.   As such, here are just three reasons why obtaining an SAP certification is important: First, it proves your competency in SAP technologies and enhances your credibility in the industry. Second, having a certification can provide career advancement opportunities, as SAP-certified professionals are highly sought after and often receive higher salaries. And finally, certified SAP consultants gain access to specialized resources and communities.   

Types of SAP Certifications

There are two main types of SAP certifications:  When it comes to choosing the right certification, you first must evaluate your skills, assessing your current knowledge and identifying areas for improvement. From there, choose a certification that complements your career aspirations, and consider certifications in high-demand areas for better job prospects.   

Preparing for SAP Certification

As you prepare for your SAP certification, evaluate your existing skills in SAP technologies, identifying your strengths and weaknesses. After that, you can focus on areas that need improvement to ensure thorough preparation.  You can acquire the necessary training either at an SAP training center or through an online platform. Official SAP training centers offer structured courses led by experienced instructors, whereas e-learning platforms, like SAP Learning Hub, offer a more flexible training option.  Whether you're participating in guided learning or self-paced, SAP Learning Hub provides access to a vast library of training materials, including e-books, simulations, and guided exercises, and hands-on labs allow you to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Launching a tech start-up is an exciting venture, but the success of your start-up largely depends on the talent and expertise of your team. The pace and demands of technology require a different approach to building a team, and the team you assemble will not only execute the day-to-day tasks but will be instrumental in shaping the company's culture and trajectory.   Below, we outline some tech start-up staffing solutions for you to consider that can help you build a strong and capable team.   

Tech Start-Up Staffing Solutions

 

Networking and Referrals

One of the most effective ways to find top talent for your tech start-up is through networking and referrals. By attending industry events, meetups, and conferences, you can connect with potential team members. You should also engage with your professional network and ask for referrals from peers and mentors, along with industry contacts. This approach can lead you to highly qualified candidates who come recommended by trusted sources.  In addition, encourage your existing team members to refer potential candidates. By offering incentives, such as bonuses or other rewards, you can motivate employees to actively participate in the recruitment process. Furthermore, your current employees understand the company and are likely to recommend individuals who best align with the company culture and have the skills needed for success.   

Contractor Workers

Hiring freelancers and contractors can be a flexible and cost-effective way for start-ups to get specialized skills for projects. Platforms like Freelancer provide access to a global pool of talented professionals, allowing you to scale your team up or down based on project requirements and giving you the agility needed in the early stages of a start-up.   

Internship Programs

Internship programs are a great way to identify and nurture young talent. You should consider partnering with local universities and colleges to offer internships to students in relevant fields. This not only provides you with a cost-effective start-up staffing solution but also allows you to assess potential future employees based on their performance during the internship period.   

Online Job Platforms

Another way to identify candidates for your tech start-up is by utilizing popular job platforms like LinkedIn or Indeed to post job listings and reach a wide audience of job seekers. In doing so, make sure to craft compelling job descriptions that highlight the unique aspects of working for your tech start-up. These platforms typically also offer tools for screening and interviewing candidates, making the hiring process more streamlined for a smaller team.  For tech start-ups, industry-specific job boards like Stack Overflow and GitHub Jobs are also important to explore. These can be invaluable resources as they are tailored to the needs of the tech community and can help you target candidates with the specific skills and experiences you are looking for to fill a particular role.   

Recruitment and Staffing Agencies

One surefire way to land exceptional talent for your tech start-up is by working with a staffing and recruiting firm. Partnering with a firm can save you time and effort in the hiring process as these professionals have extensive networks and expertise in finding qualified candidates. They can help you identify and attract top talent, especially for specialized or industry-specific roles that may be harder to fill on your own.   

Partnering with BCTG for Your Staffing Solutions

Building a strong team is a critical component of a successful tech start-up. By utilizing a combination of these staffing solutions, you can identify and attract the best talent for your specific needs. Remember to not only focus on technical skills but also consider cultural fit and the ability to adapt to the dynamic environment of a start-up.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations often turn to SAP consultants to lead the way through the world of enterprise resource planning. Whether the goal is to implement a new SAP system, optimize existing processes, or tackle intricate system challenges, SAP consultants bring invaluable expertise to the table. However, the key to unlocking the full potential of consulting is in the strength of the relationships with SAP consultants that you build.  Building strong relationships with SAP consultants takes time and effort, but it is well worth it in order to achieve successful outcomes with your consultants. Strategic partnerships can make the difference between SAP projects that simply meet objectives and those that drive transformative, long-term change for your company. Here are some necessary actions and processes organizations should take and establish to create and maintain sustainable relationships with SAP consultants.   

How to Build Relationships with SAP Consultants

 

Clear Communication

Effective communication is the foundation for any successful relationship in and out of the workplace. Engage your consultants in upfront, honest communication to ensure the parties have the same understanding of the project’s objectives, scope, and expectations. By clearly articulating your needs, consultants can allocate their time and skills more efficiently, optimizing resource utilization and maintaining a reasonable project timeline.  It’s also necessary to stick to the intended timeline and draft a contract for the project. A formal arrangement ensures that consultants are paid on time and your organization receives the promised benefits of the project. It also leaves no room for assumptions or misinterpretations for either group.  If communication is messy, it can be challenging for both groups to establish synergy and meet objectives, especially if your company’s goals are unclear to the consultant. SAP consultants will best be able to develop and/or integrate personalized SAP systems for your company if they understand your goals, values, and the current state of your IT infrastructure. Transparent and open communication sets up a partnership based on trust and collaboration, ensuring successful SAP projects and potentially a long-term relationship that could be beneficial in the future.   

Trust and Respect

Establishing trust and respect with SAP consultants is essential for establishing a productive and successful working relationship. Building these creates an environment where consultants are motivated to perform at their best, collaborate with your team, and heavily contribute to the success of your SAP projects.  SAP consultants are hired for their specialized expertise and skills, so it’s critical to recognize their abilities and trust their judgment. Collaboration with SAP consultants should be a synergistic process, and micromanaging their work can take time out of their and also your busy schedule. Demonstrating your trust in their work will boost their confidence and commitment to the project. You should also take advantage of their invaluable input and involve them in SAP implementation decision-making when appropriate. Involving consultants shows respect for their insights and can also lead to the development of innovative ideas with access to their skills.   

Set Realistic Expectations

As an SAP client, being realistic in your goals and expectations from the start aligns both parties’ understanding of the project. Setting these upfront provides clarity of the project’s goals, scope, and timeline which can be critical for avoiding misunderstandings and setbacks. It’s important to leave no room for assumptions and ambiguities, as this can even lead to potential conflicts down the road.  Realistic expectations also set your project up for measurable objectives and performance indicators that can help to identify completed project goals. Unrealistic expectations can often be impossible to meet, leading to inefficiencies and frustration at the incompletion of SAP projects and straining of relationships when tasks aren’t completed in the desired timeframe. Realistic expectations ensure that project goals are feasible and won’t strain your consultant relationship.   

Celebrate Success

When project milestones are achieved, take time to celebrate these successes together. Recognizing and appreciating the contributions of the SAP consultants reinforces the positive aspects of your relationship, such as the trust in and respect for their specialized skills and expertise. It can also boost morale for the entire team, creating more engaged participants and maintaining project momentum.  Publicly recognize the achievements of the consultants regarding their design and implementation of the SAP systems for your company and go out of your way to express gratitude for their specific contributions. Celebrating together and demonstrating appreciation for their work creates a close project relationship, establishing a foundation for a more long-term working relationship. Consultants who feel valued and appreciated will be more likely to stay engaged and continue working with your organization.   

Getting Started

From the initial meeting to discuss company expectations and consultant needs, to the satisfaction of project objectives, organizations should take steps to ensure that their relationship with their SAP consultants is growing and thriving. You’ll see an increase in efficiency and benefits through greater collaboration, increased motivation, and improved innovation and SAP progress. Establishing a long-term partnership can provide opportunities for working together again on SAP management, repairs, and enhancements, creating a continuous loop that puts long-term value in your SAP systems.  To kickstart these relationship-building practices effectively, contact BCTG’s team of SAP Staffing and Recruiting experts today.    Contributions from Sam Weitzel
In the life sciences industry, regulatory compliance stands as a critical cornerstone for ensuring product safety, quality, and efficacy. The industry is subject to a myriad of stringent regulations and standards set by global health authorities, making compliance a complex and multifaceted challenge. In this realm, leveraging advanced technological solutions becomes imperative for organizations to streamline operations and meet regulatory requirements effectively. Among the array of tools available, SAP is a robust and versatile platform that empowers life sciences companies to manage regulatory demands while fostering growth.   

Understanding Regulatory Challenges in Life Sciences

Agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) impose strict guidelines encompassing Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Clinical Practices (GCP), Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), and others. Navigating through these regulations demands meticulous adherence, documentation, and reporting, imposing substantial complexities and operational burdens on companies in this sector.   

The Role of SAP in Regulatory Compliance

SAP, a leading provider of enterprise software solutions, offers a comprehensive suite of applications specifically tailored to address the intricate regulatory landscape in life sciences. The platform’s functionalities span diverse areas crucial for compliance.   We outlined five of these areas below:   

Streamlining Operations for Compliance and Efficiency

Implementing SAP in life sciences organizations plays a pivotal role in enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory requirements. One of the significant advantages lies in the platform's capability for centralized data management. SAP's robust data repository serves as a centralized hub, ensuring the consistency, accuracy, and accessibility of critical information while eradicating silos and redundancies that often impede compliance efforts. 

Moreover, the ability to automate key processes within the SAP ecosystem significantly reduces the margin for manual errors, ensuring strict adherence to standardized procedures across various operational facets and eliminating inconsistencies inherent in manual tasks. Real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities further distinguish SAP as an indispensable tool, as the platform's ability to provide real-time insights and analytics empowers decision-makers to closely monitor operations and generate accurate reports required for regulatory compliance.   By centralizing data, automating processes, enabling real-time monitoring, and adapting to regulatory changes seamlessly, just to name a few, SAP helps organizations achieve and maintain compliance in a highly regulated industry.   

Success Stories in Regulatory Compliance with SAP

Numerous life sciences firms have experienced substantial improvements in compliance and operational efficiency through SAP implementations.  For example, a pharmaceutical company was looking to digitalize its operations to save time and meet new demand from an increased number of customers while simultaneously streamlining compliance with the requirements of the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). As a result, the company embarked on a business transformation journey using SAP S/4HANA, seeing a 40% higher system uptime compared to the legacy on-premise system and a 30% lower maintenance costs for breakdown.    

Managing Regulatory Compliance with SAP in Life Sciences

In the intricate landscape of regulatory compliance, SAP helps organizations striving to navigate complexities while maintaining operational efficiency and innovation. The platform's comprehensive suite of tools equips companies to adhere to stringent regulations, streamline processes, mitigate risks, and foster a culture of compliance and excellence. As the industry continues to evolve, embracing advanced technological solutions like SAP remains pivotal for achieving and sustaining regulatory compliance in life sciences, and having the right SAP talent in place is the first step.  For help staffing your SAP project, contact BCTG today.

In the expansive realm of enterprise resource planning (ERP), SAP offers a comprehensive suite of software solutions designed to streamline and optimize business operations. Yet, the success and efficacy of an SAP implementation hinge significantly on the proficiency and synergy of the team responsible for its management and maintenance. Building a high-performing SAP team requires a strategic approach and a robust set of strategies to ensure seamless operations and maximal utilization of this potent software.   In this eBook, we delve deeper into the fundamental strategies crucial for nurturing and sustaining a high-performing SAP team.   

Strategies for Building a High-Performing SAP Team

 

Recruitment and Talent Acquisition

Building a high-performing SAP team commences with a meticulous recruitment process. Recruiters should actively seek talent with a strong foundation in SAP technology, encompassing various modules such as Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO), Materials Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), and beyond. Technical prowess coupled with domain-specific knowledge lays the groundwork for a proficient SAP team.  Additionally, focusing on cultural fit within the organization and assessing soft skills, such as problem-solving abilities, communication, teamwork, and adaptability, is essential to ensure a cohesive team dynamic.   

Continuous Training and Skill Development

The SAP landscape is dynamic, subject to continuous evolution and advancements. Consequently, investing in continuous training and skill development is imperative to keep the team abreast of the latest SAP tools and methodologies. Employers should facilitate regular training sessions and access to certification opportunities to ensure that team members are equipped with the most up-to-date knowledge and skills required to excel in their roles.  Furthermore, encouraging team members to engage in self-directed learning and providing resources, such as online courses and access to knowledge-sharing platforms like SAP Community Network, can significantly augment their expertise.   

Effective Team Collaboration and Communication

A high-performing SAP team thrives on effective collaboration and communication. Encouraging open dialogue, fostering a culture of transparency, conducting regular meetings, and utilizing collaboration tools can streamline workflows and ensure everyone is aligned toward common objectives. Implementing communication channels and platforms that facilitate easy information exchange and collaboration, such as Slack or Microsoft Teams, can also enhance teamwork and problem-solving capabilities within the team.

Mid-size consulting firms often face multifaceted challenges when it comes to hiring top-tier talent. These organizations operate in a highly competitive environment, constantly striving to deliver exceptional services while balancing limited resources. To navigate these complexities and secure a competitive edge, partnering with a staffing and recruiting firm can be a strategic move that offers a plethora of benefits.  We explore the benefits of working with a staffing firm as a mid-size consultancy below.   

Benefits of Working with a Staffing Firm as a Mid-Size Consultancy

 

Access to Specialized Expertise

Staffing and recruiting firms specialize in talent acquisition across various industries and possess a deep understanding of the skills and expertise required for specific roles. For mid-size consulting firms operating in niche sectors, tapping into this specialized knowledge is invaluable. These firms have access to a broad network of qualified professionals, allowing them to swiftly identify candidates with the precise skillsets and experiences needed to drive business growth.   

Time and Cost Efficiency

Recruiting can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive process, especially for mid-size consulting firms with limited HR capacities. Engaging with a staffing agency streamlines the hiring process, saving valuable time and reducing administrative burdens. By leveraging the staffing agency's expertise in candidate sourcing, screening, and interviewing, consulting firms can expedite the hiring cycle while minimizing costs associated with prolonged vacancies.   

Scalability and Flexibility

The consulting industry often experiences fluctuations in project demands. Staffing firms offer scalability by providing access to temporary, contract-based, or project-specific talent. This flexibility enables mid-size consulting firms to swiftly adjust their workforce size according to project needs without the long-term commitment of hiring full-time employees, enhancing business efficiency and ensuring optimal resource utilization for the short and long term.   

Enhanced Candidate Quality

Staffing agencies employ rigorous screening processes to assess candidates thoroughly. They conduct in-depth interviews, skill assessments, and background checks to ensure candidates meet the desired qualifications and cultural fit for the consulting firm. Partnering with these staffing firms guarantees access to a pool of pre-vetted, high-caliber candidates, significantly raising the likelihood of bringing on top-notch talent.   

Industry Insights and Expertise

Staffing and recruiting firms possess extensive knowledge of market trends, salary benchmarks, industry insights, and so on, and this information is invaluable for mid-size consulting firms seeking to remain competitive and attract top talent. By leveraging the agency's expertise, consulting firms gain a competitive edge in understanding the evolving landscape, which allows them to make informed decisions regarding talent acquisition strategies and compensation packages.   

Focus on Core Business Functions

Outsourcing the recruitment process to a staffing firm allows mid-size consultancies to redirect their focus and resources towards core business functions. Instead of allocating substantial time and effort to the recruitment and hiring process, the consulting firm can concentrate on delivering exceptional client services, booking new projects, refining strategies, and expanding their market reach, ultimately fostering business growth.   

Mitigation of Hiring Risks

Recruiting is not without risks. A poor hire can lead to decreased productivity, cultural disruptions, financial losses, and more for a mid-size consulting firm. Staffing agencies mitigate these risks by leveraging their expertise in candidate assessment and selection. Their comprehensive evaluation processes minimize the chances of a mismatch between a candidate and the consulting firm, thus reducing potential hiring risks.   

Long-Term Partnerships

Establishing a relationship with a reputable staffing and recruiting firm can foster a successful long-term partnership. As the staffing agency gains a deep understanding of the consulting firm's culture and talent requirements, they become better equipped to provide tailored solutions for ongoing and future hiring needs. A collaborative partnership strengthens over time, and in turn, can create a relationship that consistently delivers top talent.

Building a capable and successful SAP team requires a thoughtful recruitment process. This includes knowing where to source potential candidates and how to evaluate them fairly and meticulously to be a part of your team. Through implementing practices that allow employers to seek out top-tier candidates, your team will have access to the best and brightest SAP candidates in the industry. Additionally, optimizing your interviewing and screening will further validate that you have made the best pick for your firm.   Below are five solutions to effectively source and screen SAP candidates.  

Ways to Source and Screen SAP Candidates

 

Professional Networks and Conferences

Expanding in-person and online networks is one of the most effective ways to connect with experienced SAP professionals. One way of doing this is utilizing platforms such as LinkedIn or Indeed that engage with SAP networks and experts. These social media and recruiting platforms allow you to join a community and share experiences, insights, and opportunities in the industry. Connecting through social media will also allow you to reach potential candidates who are not in your immediate geographical area. Furthermore, attending SAP networking events and conferences will allow you to meet other professionals in the field, making in-person connections and sharing potential opportunities.   

Interactive Interviews

Recruiting a strong SAP team means conducting in-depth and thoughtful interviews. You want to know the candidates you are recruiting have skills in problem-solving and SAP but also have soft skills such as effective communication and teamwork. Asking behavioral-based questions in the interview will allow you to evaluate how candidates interact in a real business setting. The answers to these questions will give insight into how the candidate will respond to challenges and the skills they can bring to the team.    

Technical Evaluations

SAP roles often require a complex understanding of specific software, solutions, and coding languages. As such, designing technical assignments for your potential candidates to complete will put their technical abilities to the test. This evaluation will also verify that your potential employees are proficient in the platforms that your organization uses, while showcasing their technical ability and problem-solving skills. Ultimately, conducting these assessments will help to see if candidates have the necessary skills and talents for the role.   

Certifications and Background

One of the most important aspects of screening your SAP candidates is knowing your candidate’s past accomplishments, experiences, opportunities, and certifications. Employees will be required to work with complex technologies, meaning getting to know the candidate's educational background and knowledge of SAP systems and solutions will be critical. Additionally, connecting with candidate’ past employers and exploring their professional background will give you insights into their potential performance at your firm.   

Cultural Fit

Finding candidates that align with the goals and mission of your firm is also important when building a SAP team. Employees need to integrate within the organization, which means being able to mesh well with other departments or teams and contribute to the overall companies' vision and culture. Failing to do so may cause friction, as SAP projects often deal with challenges that involve conflict resolution and cross-department collaboration.    

Building Your SAP Team

When looking to build a strong and proficient SAP team, it's critical to implement recruitment practices that reach talented SAP professionals and fairly evaluate candidates to gauge their suitability within the firm. Through implementing the solutions above, organizations can source capable SAP experts across the country and evaluate candidates that align with their mission and vision.   Contact BCTG today for assistance in building your SAP dream team.     Contributions from Leah Harding

SAP systems house a vast array of critical data across various modules such as finance, sales, production, and more. However, migrating data from these systems is a complex yet pivotal process for companies looking to enhance operational efficiency and embrace modern data analytics practices.  Data migration from SAP systems involves managing large volumes of both structured and unstructured data, each with its own unique formats and relationships. This complexity often poses significant challenges, including maintaining data integrity, ensuring seamless integration, and transforming data effectively throughout the migration process.  Leveraging a powerful data platform like Snowflake can play a transformative role in optimizing the SAP data migration process. Snowflake, renowned for its cloud-based architecture, offers scalability, performance, and user-friendliness, all of which prove instrumental in addressing the challenges encountered during an SAP data migration. 

 

Understanding the Complexities of an SAP Data Migration

The complexities inherent in an SAP data migration arise from the diverse nature of data types across different modules. For instance, financial data might be structured differently than sales data, making seamless integration a considerable challenge. Moreover, ensuring data quality and integrity throughout the migration process is crucial, as discrepancies or errors could have profound implications for business operations and decision-making. 

 

The Role of Snowflake in the SAP Data Migration Process

Snowflake's architecture is built to address the intricacies of an SAP data migration. Its separation of storage allows for unlimited scalability, and it can handle large data volumes from SAP systems while maintaining high performance during migration processes. Snowflake's robust security measures also ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and compliance of data, adhering to industry standards.  Snowflake's compatibility with various data formats and integration tools simplifies the integration and transformation of SAP data, allowing for a seamless transition across different data types as well. Since the platform supports semi-structured and unstructured data, organizations are able to migrate data without constraints based on format or structure. Furthermore, its multi-cluster architecture supports concurrent workloads, promising smooth operations and optimizing performance without compromising speed or accuracy. 

 

Best Practices for Optimizing the SAP Data Migration Process with Snowflake

Implementing best practices is crucial for a successful SAP data migration process with Snowflake. We outline the top five best practices below: 

 

1. Comprehensive Assessment and Planning

A robust migration plan begins with a thorough understanding of the existing SAP data landscape. Conducting a comprehensive assessment involves identifying data types and dependencies and evaluating the data's quality and relevance. This assessment phase helps in understanding the data's structure and relationships, along with potential issues that might arise during a data migration.  Furthermore, devising a plan is crucial, and it should encompass timelines, resource allocation, key milestones, and a contingency plan for unforeseen challenges. Collaboration between the SAP and Snowflake experts is essential at this stage to align the technical aspects with business objectives. 

 

2. Data Cleansing and Transformation

Data quality is the cornerstone of successful data migration, and Snowflake's capabilities in data profiling and transformation play a pivotal role in ensuring data accuracy and consistency. Before migrating data to Snowflake, it is imperative to cleanse the data, which involves identifying and rectifying inconsistencies, duplicates, and errors within the data.  Utilizing Snowflake's functionalities for data standardization and enrichment enhances data quality. Additionally, data transformation should align with the target schema in Snowflake to ensure seamless integration and accessibility. 

 

3. Parallel Processing and Incremental Loading

Leveraging Snowflake's capability for parallel processing and incremental loading significantly optimizes migration performance. Breaking down the migration tasks into smaller, parallelizable units helps in distributing workloads across Snowflake clusters, thereby accelerating the process.  Incremental loading, where only the changed or updated data is migrated, reduces overall migration time. Snowflake's ability to perform delta loads ensures that only the new or modified data is transferred, minimizing redundancy and enhancing efficiency. 

 

4. Monitoring, Validation, and Iterative Approach

Implementing monitoring mechanisms within Snowflake is key for tracking migration progress, identifying anomalies, and ensuring the accuracy and completeness of migrated data. Monitoring tools provide insights into migration performance and allow for timely adjustments or interventions in case of issues.  Additionally, validating migrated data against the source is imperative to ensure data integrity. Verification processes, including data reconciliation and comparison, validate the accuracy and consistency of data migrated to Snowflake.  Finally, taking an iterative approach to data migration allows for continuous monitoring and refinement throughout the process. Regular checkpoints and updates ensure that the migration stays aligned with the defined objectives and minimizes potential risks or disruptions. 

 

5. Knowledge Transfer and Continuous Improvement

Investing in training and knowledge transfer sessions for the teams involved in migration is an effective utilization of Snowflake's capabilities, as it empowers teams to leverage the platform's full potential. Encouraging collaboration between SAP and Snowflake experts as well fosters a deeper understanding of both systems, enabling the identification of optimization opportunities and facilitating continuous improvement.   

Finding Talent for Your Data Migration

By leveraging Snowflake's scalability and flexibility, organizations can overcome challenges associated with an SAP data migration. Implementing best practices further can pave the way for a seamless and efficient migration process, empowering businesses to thrive in a data-driven era.  For help finding the right talent for your SAP data migration process with Snowflake, contact BCTG.

Collaborating with an SAP staffing and recruiting firm can be a game-changer for mid-size consulting firms. These specialized agencies have a vast network and expertise in sourcing SAP talent, making the recruitment process more efficient and cost-effective while taking the burden off your back.   

Why Work with an Staffing and Recruiting Firm?

Partnering with an SAP staffing and recruiting firm brings several benefits that align perfectly with the challenges faced by mid-size consulting firms in managing their SAP talent pipeline.  These specialized firms have extensive networks and databases of skilled SAP professionals, providing access to a wider and more diverse talent pool that may not be reachable through conventional hiring channels. SAP staffing firms also possess specialized knowledge and experience in recruiting SAP talent, enabling them to identify the right candidates efficiently and effectively.   Along with their extensive networks and industry expertise, outsourcing recruitment to an SAP staffing firm can significantly reduce the time and resources spent on the hiring process, allowing mid-size firms to focus on core business activities. Above all, partnering with a firm offers flexibility in scaling up or down your SAP workforce as project demands change, ensuring optimal resource allocation.  At the end of the day, managing an SAP talent pipeline is an important aspect for mid-size consulting firms striving for success in the competitive market. While various strategies can be employed internally, partnering with an SAP staffing and recruiting firm may be the strategic move your organization needs.  To learn more about partnering with experts at BCTG, contact us today.

Implement Efficient Querying Strategies

Snowflake provides automatic caching for repeated queries, so understanding caching behavior and optimizing query patterns to leverage caching can significantly reduce query times. It is also important to utilize appropriate filtering conditions, avoid unnecessary joins, and leverage materialized views, profiling tools, or result caching to identify bottlenecks and expedite query execution.   

Scale Compute Resources Wisely

Snowflake's elasticity allows users to scale compute resources dynamically, and organizations should opt for the appropriate warehouse size based on workload demands. Users should consider workload patterns and adjust warehouse sizes accordingly. Alternatively, they can implement auto-scaling to automatically adjust warehouse sizes based on workload fluctuations to ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency.   

Leverage Snowflake Partner Integrations and Tools

Snowflake's rich ecosystem of partner integrations and tools serves as a vital resource to streamline workflows and enhance performance. Integration with ETL tools, BI platforms, and data management solutions can also optimize data pipelines and analytical processes and improve overall system performance.   

Consider Data Compression and Data Retention Policies

To minimize storage footprint and improve query performance, consider utilizing Snowflake's data compression capabilities or partitioning large tables into smaller, manageable partitions. Implementing efficient data retention policies to archive or delete unnecessary data can significantly reduce the amount of data scanned and storage costs while enhancing execution speed.   

Monitor and Fine-Tune Performance

Organizations using Snowflake’s platform should regularly monitor performance, as well as workloads, query patterns, and data access patterns, using Snowflake's performance views and query history. This can help to identify bottlenecks, inefficient queries, or resource-intensive processes. For optimal performance, users should regularly re-evaluate and fine-tune Snowflake configurations to adapt to changing business needs and ensure the platform is continuing to serve its purpose.

In the retail landscape, adaptability and scalability have become imperative for sustainable success. SAP for Retail is not merely a singular product, but an array of solutions offered by SAP, often anchored by the robust S/4 HANA as the central ERP solution. This comprehensive suite of tools empowers retailers to harness agility and scalability like never before.   SAP for Retail encompasses an array of functionalities, from streamlining supply chain management to optimizing customer experiences, presenting a dynamic platform tailored to meet the diverse needs of the retail industry. With its amalgamation of real-time data insights and intuitive tools, SAP for Retail enables businesses to pivot strategies swiftly and adapt to evolving consumer behaviors, all while driving operational efficiency.  Below, we outline some of the ways SAP for Retail can drive agility and scalability.   

Ways to Drive Agility and Scalability with SAP for Retail

 

Integrated Omnichannel Experience

SAP for Retail enables retailers to deliver a seamless omnichannel experience to their customers. Specifically, SAP Commerce Cloud integrates various sales channels online and offline, such as brick-and-mortar stores, eCommerce platforms, mobile apps, and social media, into a centralized system. This integration allows retailers to quickly adapt to changing customer preferences and market trends, ensuring a unified yet personalized shopping experience.     

Real-Time Analytics and Insights

SAP for Retail also provides powerful analytics and reporting capabilities, enabling retailers to gather real-time data from various sources, such as sales transactions, inventory levels, and customer behavior. By leveraging this data, retailers can gain valuable insights into consumer patterns and preferences, demand forecasting, and inventory optimization. These will help retailers make data-driven decisions, respond quickly to market changes, and improve operational efficiency.    

Flexible and Optimized Supply Chain Management

When it comes to supply chain management functionalities, SAP for Retail allows retailers to optimize supply chain operations by automating processes, streamlining inventory management, and improving supplier collaboration. SAP S/4HANA, for example, helps retailers synchronize inventory across channels to ensure customers have access to accurate stock information and to enable functionalities like ship-from-store. Similarly, SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) enables retailers to effectively manage inventory across warehouses and fulfillment centers to facilitate faster order processing and accurate deliveries.   With a flexible and efficient supply chain, retailers can respond rapidly to changes in demand, manage inventory effectively across channels (by optimizing inventory utilization and reducing stockouts), and reduce costs. This agility further enables retailers to scale their operations according to the market.   

Enhanced Customer Relationships

Building solid relationships with customers is arguably one of the most important aspects for retailers to consider, and SAP for Retail capabilities cater directly to this need. For example, SAP Customer Data Platform allows retailers to capture and analyze customer data and track purchase history to gain 360-degree understanding of consumer behavior. By understanding customer preferences and behavior, retailers can offer targeted promotions, campaigns, and loyalty programs, along with personalized recommendations. This personalized approach boosts customer satisfaction, and in turn, customer loyalty, to improve overall business agility.   

Scalable Architecture

SAP S/4HANA sits at the core of SAP’s architecture, and for the retail industry, this is no different. SAP for Retail is built on a scalable architecture that can handle large volumes of data to accommodate business growth, supporting modular expansion and allowing retailers to add new functionalities or scale their operations without disrupting existing processes. This scalability ensures that retailers can adapt their systems to accommodate increased transaction volumes, open new sales channels, and expand product offerings anytime.   

Cloud Deployment

SAP for Retail offers cloud-based deployment options, such as SAP IBP and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), that provide additional agility and scalability benefits. Cloud deployment eliminates the need for retailers to manage their own infrastructure, reducing IT costs and complexity. It also fosters rapid deployment, easy upgrades, and scalability on demand, allowing retailers to adapt quickly to changing business needs.    

Looking Ahead

Overall, SAP for Retail encompasses an array of SAP solutions that empower retailers with agile and scalable capabilities, enabling them to respond swiftly to market dynamics, optimize operations, and deliver stellar customer experience.  To learn more about SAP for Retail and if it’s right for your small- to mid-sized business, contact BCTG.    This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Crescense.

Beyond creating a buzz across nearly every industry, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is recognized for creating innovative and resilient workplaces. While corporations strive to create environments that celebrate diversity, recruiters can serve as instrumental characters in shaping the culture and composition of the workforce. As such, recruiters must understand and actively support organizations’ specific DE&I priorities. By doing so, they can foster a partnership that goes beyond traditional hiring practices, actively contributing to the establishment of an inclusive workplace culture.  Below, we explore strategies to ensure your recruiter reflects the organization’s overarching goals for DE&I in recruiting.  

Strategies to Ensure DE&I in Recruiting

 

Diving into DE&I Initiatives

Before recruiters engage with potential candidates, they must have a deep understanding of the company's DE&I initiatives. This involves delving into the organization's mission statement, values, and specific programs or policies aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion. Recruiters should be well-versed in how these initiatives align with the business's overall strategy, contributing not only to compliance but also to the company's long-term success.  To ensure recruiters are equipped with the necessary knowledge, businesses can organize periodic training sessions and updates on DE&I initiatives. This continuous education empowers recruiters to navigate conversations with candidates and internal stakeholders more effectively.  Moreover, recruiters should actively seek updates on the company's recent achievements or recognitions in the realm of DE&I. Awards, certifications, or rankings can serve as indicators of the company's commitment and progress in fostering an inclusive workplace.   

Integrating DE&I in Recruitment Practices

Recruiters play a pivotal role in the talent acquisition process, and it’s crucial that they integrate DE&I considerations seamlessly into their practices. This encompasses crafting job descriptions that use inclusive language, aiming to avoid biases that might deter diverse candidates from applying. Recruiters should actively participate in the creation of diverse interview panels, ensuring that the assessment process is unbiased and reflective of the organization's commitment to DE&I as well.  To reinforce these practices, businesses can implement regular audits of recruitment materials and processes, providing feedback to recruiters and ensuring continuous improvement. This iterative approach further enhances the organization's ability to attract a diverse pool of candidates.  By aligning recruitment practices with DE&I priorities, recruiters contribute to building a workforce that mirrors the diversity of the broader community. This, in turn, enhances the organization's ability to innovate and adapt to the evolving demands of a diverse market.   

Amplifying Your DE&I Message

Recruiters are ambassadors of the organization's culture and values, so it’s key that they effectively communicate the business's commitment to DE&I to prospective candidates. This involves articulating specific examples of how the company has implemented DE&I initiatives and addressing challenges related to diversity and inclusion.  Businesses can leverage multiple channels, including social media, webinars, and industry events, to share their DE&I journey. By showcasing their commitment, businesses not only attract like-minded candidates but also contribute to industry conversations on the topic and demonstrate transparency.  In effectively conveying the company's DE&I message, recruiters attract candidates who not only possess the required skills but also resonate with the organization's values, fostering a more sustainable and aligned workforce.   

Collaborating with External Partners

External recruitment partners and agencies often play a crucial role in talent acquisition. However, establishing clear expectations and evaluating the partners' strategies for promoting diversity and inclusion in their recruitment efforts is essential for maintaining consistency.  Regular forums for communication between these external recruiters and internal leaders and stakeholders can facilitate knowledge sharing and alignment of practices. By fostering strong partnerships, businesses extend their commitment beyond internal boundaries, creating a more interconnected and inclusive hiring ecosystem.  Ultimately, effective partnerships with external recruiters contribute to a holistic approach to DE&I, extending the organization's commitment beyond internal practices to the broader industry.   

Looking Ahead

In the end, the journey toward inclusive recruitment is a collaborative effort between recruiters, businesses, and external partners. The strategies outlined above serve as a compass, guiding recruiters to align with and actively promote a business's DE&I priorities.   Looking ahead, continuous education for recruiters, coupled with robust collaboration, will be essential. The transformation is about more than just filling positions; it's about shaping workplaces where every voice is heard and valued. Recruiters hold the key to not only attracting diverse talent but also to driving industry-wide change. As businesses invest in their recruiting efforts, we anticipate a future where DE&I isn't just a goal on paper but an integral part of the fabric of thriving workplaces.  If you’re looking for a firm to help with your recruiting needs, contact BCTG today. 
Embarking on a journey to implement new technologies or systems can be a daunting task for any organization. The right implementation partner can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth transition and successful integration. However, finding the perfect fit for your unique needs requires careful consideration and strategic planning.   Below, we explore the key steps and considerations to help you find the ideal implementation partner for your needs.   

Steps to Finding an Implementation Partner

 

Understand Your Unique Needs

Before you start searching for an implementation partner, it's crucial to have a deep understanding of your organization's needs. This involves conducting a thorough assessment of your current processes, identifying pain points, and outlining specific goals for the implementation. Whether you’re integrating a new software solution, adopting a cloud-based platform, or implementing a complex system overhaul, clarity on your objectives is the foundation for finding the right partner.   

Define Your Project Scope

Clearly defining the scope of your project is the next step in the process. Outline the specific requirements, functionalities, and deliverables you expect from the implementation. This will not only help you communicate effectively with potential partners but also enable them to provide accurate assessments and proposals. A well-defined project scope sets the stage for a successful partnership by aligning expectations from the start.   

Evaluate Relevant Expertise

Different implementation partners specialize in various technologies and industries. As such, it's essential to evaluate their expertise and experience in the specific area relevant to your project. Look for partners who have a proven track record of successful implementations in your industry or with similar technologies. Request case studies, testimonials, references, and so on to gauge their capabilities and ensure they have the expertise to meet your unique business goals.   

Assess Technical Proficiency

A critical aspect of finding the right implementation partner is assessing their technical proficiency. The partner should not only understand the technology involved but also have a team of skilled professionals capable of handling the intricacies of your project. Inquire about the certifications and ongoing training initiatives that demonstrate their commitment to staying abreast of the latest advancements in the field.   

Cultural Alignment

Beyond technical expertise, cultural alignment is often overlooked but plays a pivotal role in the success of an implementation partnership. Consider the values, mission, work culture, and communication style of potential partners. A strong cultural fit ensures a collaborative and harmonious working relationship in the long term, fostering better understanding and cooperation throughout the implementation process.   

Evaluate Project Management Methodology

Efficient project management is a cornerstone of a successful implementation, so inquire about the partner's project management methodology and processes. A transparent and well-defined project management approach helps in setting milestones, managing timelines, and mitigating risks effectively, so it’s critical to identify partners who prioritize clear communication and flexibility to adapt to unforeseen challenges.   

Considerations for Finding an Implementation Partner

While the above steps are helpful in determining the type of implementation partner you’re looking for, it’s also helpful to keep these considerations in mind to ensure a long-lasting and successful partnership:   

Scalability and Future Growth

Your organization may evolve, and as such, your technology needs may grow over time. A forward-thinking partner will consider your long-term objectives and provide solutions that can scale with your business. Discuss future-proofing strategies, ongoing support, and the partner's ability to adapt to emerging technologies to ensure a lasting and sustainable partnership.   

Budget and Cost Considerations

While cost is a significant factor, it should not be the sole determining factor in choosing an implementation partner. Rather, evaluate the overall value and return on investment that a partner can deliver by requesting detailed cost breakdowns, including initial implementation costs, ongoing support, and any potential hidden expenses. A transparent discussion about budgetary constraints and expectations will help avoid misunderstandings down the line.   

Request Proposals and Conduct Interviews

Once you have shortlisted potential implementation partners, request detailed proposals that outline their approach, timelines, costs, and team structure. Conduct interviews with key team members to assess their communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and overall compatibility with your organization's culture as well. This step is crucial in gaining deeper insights into the partner's commitment and understanding of your unique needs.

In today's job market, transparency in the hiring process is a crucial aspect that can significantly impact an organization's reputation and the satisfaction of potential candidates. Job seekers are increasingly valuing transparency as they navigate through the hiring process, seeking clarity on company culture, expectations, and the overall recruitment journey.   Below, we explore the importance of transparency in hiring and provide practical tips for employers to ensure a transparent and positive experience for both candidates and the organization.   

Why Transparency Matters

Transparency fosters trust and builds a positive employer brand. When candidates have a clear understanding of the company's values and goals, expectations of the role, and the overall recruitment timeline, they are more likely to engage enthusiastically in the process. Moreover, a transparent hiring process enhances the candidate experience, creating a positive impression even if the candidate is not ultimately selected. This positive perception can lead to word-of-mouth recommendations and a pool of potential candidates who may be interested in future open opportunities.   

Key Elements of Transparency in the Hiring Process

 

Detailed and Accurate Job Descriptions

Organizations should begin the transparency journey right from the start by crafting detailed and accurate job descriptions. This means clearly outlining the responsibilities, qualifications, and expectations for the role, which can help candidates assess their fit for the position and ensure that only those genuinely interested and qualified apply.   

Open Communication Channels

To ensure transparency, establish open lines of communication between the hiring team and candidates. It may be helpful to provide a designated contact person or recruiter who can address questions and provide updates, as timely and clear communication sets the tone for transparency and demonstrates respect for candidates' time and efforts.   

Clear Recruitment Timelines

Throughout the hiring process, it is crucial to communicate the expected timelines for each stage. This includes when candidates can expect initial responses, interview invitations, and final decisions. In doing this, the hiring team can manage expectations from the beginning, reducing anxiety and keeping candidates engaged throughout the process.   

Honesty about Compensation and Benefits

Another key element of transparency in hiring is being upfront about the compensation package and benefits associated with the position. Transparency about salary ranges and other perks ensures that candidates have realistic expectations. It also helps in aligning the organization with candidates who share similar values.   

Insight into Company Culture

Company culture is a top factor that job seekers consider nowadays, so recruiters should aim to provide candidates with a glimpse into the company culture through various means, such as employee testimonials or videos. Sharing information about the work environment, team dynamics, and core values can help candidates assess cultural fit and make an informed decision about the position.  

Practical Tips for Ensuring Transparency

As your organization looks to prioritize transparency in the hiring process, consider these practical tips:    

Transparency in the Hiring Process

In an era where job seekers prioritize transparency, organizations that stress clear communication and openness in the hiring process stand to gain a competitive advantage. By incorporating the key elements and practical tips outlined above, organizations can create a hiring process that is not only efficient but also fosters trust and positive relationships with candidates. Ultimately, transparency in hiring is a win-win for both employers and job seekers alike.  To continue the discussion on transparency in the hiring process, contact BCTG today.

However, implementing SAP solutions requires more than just technology; it demands the right expertise and staffing support to fully unlock its potential.   SAP’s cloud solutions encompass a range of applications and services provided by SAP. These solutions are designed to help organizations of all sizes and across industries manage and optimize their business processes efficiently. Whether it's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), or Supply Chain Management (SCM), SAP Cloud solutions offer a comprehensive suite that caters to diverse business needs.  Below, we explore how organizations can unlock the benefits of SAP cloud solutions with staffing support.   

Why Seek Staffing Support

While SAP cloud solutions provide a powerful technological foundation, organizations often face challenges in implementing and managing these solutions effectively. The complexity of SAP applications requires skilled professionals who not only understand the technology but also possess domain-specific knowledge to align the solutions with the organization's unique requirements.  Here are a few ways staffing firms can help:   

Expertise in SAP Modules

SAP cloud solutions consist of various modules, each serving a specific business function. To harness the full potential of these solutions, organizations need experts proficient in SAP modules like SAP CAR depending on what is most relevant to their operations. Staffing support ensures access to professionals with specialized knowledge in areas such as human resources and logistics, allowing for a tailored implementation that aligns with organizational goals.   

Seamless Integration with Existing Systems

One of the key advantages of SAP cloud solutions is the ability to integrate seamlessly with existing systems. However, achieving this integration requires a deep understanding of both the SAP platform and the organization's current infrastructure. Partnering with a staffing firm can facilitate the identification of integration points, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing disruptions to ongoing operations.   

Customization for Unique Business Requirements

Every organization is unique, with specific processes and workflows that set them apart from others. External staffing support provides the expertise needed to customize SAP cloud solutions to meet these unique business requirements. Whether it's creating custom reports, configuring workflows, or developing specialized functionalities, skilled professionals ensure that the SAP implementation aligns perfectly with the organization's unique needs.   

Continuous Support and Maintenance

Implementing SAP is not a one-time endeavor; it requires ongoing support and maintenance to keep the system running smoothly. Outsourcing your staffing needs to a staffing firm ensures that organizations have a dedicated team of professionals who can address issues promptly, perform regular updates, provide training to end-users, and so on. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and optimizes the performance of SAP applications.  

Maximizing the Benefits

With the right staffing support in place, organizations can maximize the benefits of SAP cloud solutions across various dimensions, including:

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are often intertwined. AI is a broad field that is essentially about making programs or machines more capable of human-like tasks. This may mean creating recommendations, sifting through large sets of data for desired characteristics, or operating in the absence of human intervention.   Machine learning (ML) is an application of AI. It revolves around increasing the intelligence or capabilities of software on its own. For example, a program that screens job candidates may not be accurate in its first few tries, but it learns and becomes more successful over time.   A machine learning career can be exciting because of the industry’s rapid pace of development. Those who want to pursue a career in this field, however, should certainly plan ahead of time. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a career change, this article breaks down how to plan for a machine learning career.   

Types of Machine Learning Careers 

A machine learning career can mean many things as the field is so broad. Some applications include personalized shopping recommendations, pharmaceutical research, and even traffic alerts. ML can be applied in almost every industry because it’s simply a tool to help process data more accurately and efficiently.   Machine learning’s applicability means that those with the right skillset can have diverse options to choose from. Individuals should weigh the specifics of career paths in each sector, even if the work appears similar. For example, working on an app for a tech company may have a very different work-life balance than doing the same for a non-profit. Ultimately, choose what is aligned with your needs and interests rather than assuming the work will be similar in different industries.    

Kickstarting Your Machine Learning Career

 

Preparing for Interviews 

Those who want to pursue a machine learning career should expect to need a technical background. While not every job requires the same skillset, this often means experience with coding or engineering. ML does not, however, necessitate a college degree in these subject areas. Oftentimes individuals can be self-taught or utilize a software training program to become proficient.   It's vital for those pursuing ML to also practice technical interview questions. This means learning to solve technical challenges quickly and efficiently. For example, an interviewee may be asked to resolve an issue in code. The best way to prepare for these types of questions is to practice common scenarios for the industry of interest.   Finally, don’t forget to practice behavioral questions. While an ML job is inherently technical, this does not mean that soft skills are not needed. Individuals should practice answering common questions about their background to be prepared for any non-technical interview questions.    

Succeeding in the Job

Machine learning is a field that rapidly evolves as new developments are made. Thus, those who work within it must constantly learn so that their skillsets remain proficient. However this is done, it’s vital to stay at the forefront of knowledge.   A career in ML will also be filled with teamwork. This means that soft skills are important to succeeding and receiving positive reviews. Finally, practice leadership so that you can tackle more responsibility as your career progresses.   

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, a machine learning career can be tremendously rewarding in terms of expertise and compensation. Ready to get started? Join BCTG’s network today.    Contributions from Jake Park-Walters

Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where professionals experience self-doubt and inadequacy in their current role. Although tech experts may have all the skills and qualifications to flourish in their position, imposter syndrome can make professionals feel like a fraud. This phenomenon is prevalent in the tech industry as professionals strive to keep up with the latest advancements and deal with grand expectations in an increasingly competitive field. In fact, approximately 58% of tech professionals experience imposter syndrome.   If you are someone who is facing feelings of self-doubt in your tech role, consider the following tips on how to deal with imposter syndrome in the tech industry.   

How to Deal with Imposter Syndrome

 

Reflect on your Accomplishments

Professionals suffering from imposter syndrome often feel insecure in their role no matter how extensive their past training and educational experiences are. As such, taking time to reflect on your achievements, certifications, and degrees is important when feeling doubtful. Acknowledging these accomplishments will reassure you that you belong in your role. Additionally, celebrate successes - whether large or small - as they will promote confidence in yourself and your work. Furthermore, 98% report they perform better when they feel confident.   

Consider Mentorship and Support

When experiencing feelings of doubt, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Imposter syndrome has been a challenge in the tech industry for some time and is also prevalent in many other industries. In fact, the term was first coined in 1978.   Connecting with others who have similar experiences may help you form a support system when feeling down. Joining a support group can also introduce you to new coping techniques for future challenges. Furthermore, having a mentor at work may help you articulate your progress and lay out your career goals. This will allow you to see your professional growth, boosting your confidence at work.    

Practice Stress Management and Positive Self-Talk

One aspect of managing your performance anxiety at work is creating an overall positive headspace. Mental health can heavily affect your productivity and job satisfaction, and imposter syndrome is often associated with negative self-talk and insecurities. Stopping these thoughts at the root and replacing them with positive self-reinforcement can improve your attitude towards your work.   The tech industry can also be stressful with rapidly changing technology, tedious tasks, and high expectations. As such, make sure you aren't wearing yourself thin. Doing so may increase negative thoughts that are affecting your mental health at work.    

Accept Imperfections

The reality is that professionals, no matter how accomplished, are going to make mistakes. Mess-ups are inevitable in the workplace, especially when learning and growing. Instead of obsessing about them, learn to accept that they are a normal occurrence in every role and industry. The more you focus on the wins over the losses, the more satisfied you will be with your performance. When you do make a mistake, focus on how to improve rather than dreading it might happen again. These techniques will keep you confident in your capabilities and happy at work.    

Looking Ahead

Don’t waste time anxious and insecure about your work capabilities and performance – instead, try to look for opportunities to practice positive thinking and establish solid support networks. Imposter syndrome is a common occurrence in all workplaces, not just in tech. If you are struggling, it's important to know you aren't alone and to reach out for help combating these challenges. Whether you're currently in a tech role or looking to enter the tech field, imposter syndrome may impact you.   Interested in joining the BCTG network?

Customer experience has become a key differentiator for companies aiming to stand out in their respective industries – it’s not just about remaining profitable, but rather it’s equally as important to ensure you’re meeting the ever-changing needs of your customers. While technology continues to advance, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can revolutionize the way businesses interact with their customers, and as businesses navigate the transformative possibilities that AI presents, it becomes increasingly evident that the success of AI initiatives is not solely dependent on the sophistication of the technology but also on the right talent.   Below, we explore how organizations can leverage AI to improve the customer experience with the right talent in place.   

The Rise of AI for Customer Experience

AI, which encompasses machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics, has become a game-changer for businesses seeking to enhance customer interactions. From chatbots that provide instant support to predictive analytics that anticipate customer needs, AI has the potential to streamline and personalize the customer journey.   

Ways to Use AI to Improve the Customer Experience

 

Personalized Interactions

AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of customer data to understand individual preferences, behaviors, and purchase history. This enables businesses to create highly personalized interactions, delivering tailored recommendations and anticipating customer needs. A positive shopping experience can go a long way with 60% of consumers saying that they’ll become repeat customers after a personalized experience. Ultimately, personalization not only enhances customer satisfaction but also fosters customer loyalty.   

Efficient Support

The integration of AI-powered chatbots allows businesses to provide instant and efficient customer support. These bots can handle routine queries, troubleshoot issues, and even escalate complex problems to human agents when necessary. This not only reduces response times but also frees up human resources to focus on more complex tasks or requests to best serve customers.   

Predictive Analytics for Anticipating Needs

AI-driven predictive analytics can analyze historical data to forecast customer behavior and preferences. This enables businesses to proactively address customer needs, offering targeted promotions or suggesting relevant products or services. By staying one step ahead, companies can create a seamless and anticipatory customer experience.   

The Role of Talent in AI Implementations

While the potential benefits of AI in customer experience are clear, the successful implementation of AI initiatives relies heavily on having the right talent in place.   Here's why talent acquisition is a critical aspect of harnessing the power of AI: 
  1. AI Experts: Skilled AI professionals are essential for successfully implementing AI solutions. From data scientists to machine learning engineers, having a team with expertise in AI technologies is crucial. A staffing and recruiting firm can play a pivotal role in identifying and placing this specialized talent within an organization. 
  2. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Implementing AI for improved customer experience requires collaboration across various departments, including IT, marketing, customer support, and more. Hiring individuals with a deep understanding of both AI and the specific industry ensures effective communication and collaboration between these teams, leading to a more cohesive AI strategy. 
  3. Continuous Learning and Adaptation: The field of AI is dynamic, with constant advancements and evolving technologies. Recruiting professionals who are not only skilled but also committed to continuous learning is essential, ensuring that businesses can adapt to the latest AI trends and technologies. 
  4. Ethical Considerations: AI implementation comes with ethical considerations, especially in handling customer data and ensuring transparency. Hiring professionals who are well-versed in AI ethics and data privacy is key to building customer trust and maintaining ethical standards. 
 

Final Thoughts

Leveraging AI to improve the customer experience is a strategic move, but ultimately, its success hinges on having the right talent in place. A staffing and recruiting firm like BCTG can play a pivotal role in identifying, attracting, and placing skilled professionals who can drive the effective implementation of AI solutions.  As businesses embark on their AI journey, they need to recognize the relationship between technology and talent. By investing in the right people, companies can create a seamless and personalized customer experience with AI that sets them apart in the marketplace.  For help finding AI talent for your unique needs, contact BCTG here.

For mid-size consulting firms, the search for scalable growth in their talent requires a meticulous understanding of how strategic partnerships can translate into tangible and industry-specific metrics. These metrics serve as the benchmarks against which the effectiveness and success of such collaborations are measured.   Staffing agencies deploy talent across practically every industry imaginable, with just over 20% working in the professional-managerial sector. Partnering with a staffing and recruiting firm can be a surefire way to scale your mid-size consultancy with access to top-tier talent hand-picked by expert recruiters based on your unique business or project needs.  In this piece, we outline how to scale your mid-size consultancy’s talent with the help of a staffing firm.   

How to Scale Your Mid-Size Consultancy

 

Quality Talent Acquisition

In the consulting industry, securing access to specialized talent is pivotal, and staffing firms excel in providing a diverse and niche talent pool. By partnering with staffing agencies, mid-size consulting firms can witness a notable increase in the expansion of their talent roster within critical niche areas, fostering a broader range of expertise available for client-facing projects. When our clients are seeking experienced data analysts to join their team, for example, we know we have over 250 candidates with an average of 12 years of experience in data and analytics that we can pull from. As such, this heightened access to specialized skill sets directly influences the consultancy's ability to take on more diverse and complex assignments, ultimately driving revenue growth.   

Cost Efficiency

When analyzing metrics, mid-size consulting businesses that outsource their staffing needs can see a reduction of up to 70% in hiring and recruitment expenses compared to conventional methods. This substantial decrease in hiring costs significantly impacts project profitability, often leading to an increase in profit margins. The reduced overhead expenses and minimized training costs associated with staffing firm engagements directly contribute to improved financial performance as well.   

Project Mobilization

With a persistent talent shortage, 75% of companies are underutilizing their growth potential. However, the agility facilitated by staffing firms can translate into tangible improvements in project mobilization speed. For example, we’ve filled data-related positions in under two weeks, while the industry time-to-fill average sits at 62 days for similar positions. With help from staffing firms, mid-size consulting firms can experience a reduction in the time taken to mobilize resources for new projects, and this accelerated timeline empowers firms to swiftly respond to client needs and market demands.    

Resource Optimization

Efficient utilization of resources is critical for mid-size consulting firms to drive growth, and through partnerships with staffing firms, these businesses witness a substantial increase in consultant utilization rates. This optimization allows the firm to channel resources more effectively toward core competencies and client-centric activities. As a result, there would be a rise in the time dedicated to delivering high-quality services to clients, directly influencing satisfaction levels and fostering repeat business opportunities.   

Diverse Perspectives and Creative Solutions

The infusion of diverse talent facilitated by staffing firms serves as a catalyst for innovation within mid-size consulting firms and such collaborations with staffing agencies can yield a significant increase in the development of innovative solutions tailored for clients. The World Economic Forum shared a recent study which found that companies with a more diverse management team see 19% higher revenues. The diverse perspectives and skill sets introduced through these partnerships between staffing and consulting firms can contribute to a rise in the implementation of methodologies and approaches as well, which further enhances the firm's ability to differentiate itself in the market and offer unique value propositions to clients.   

Partnering with BCTG

A strategic partnership between a mid-size consulting firm and a staffing firm can significantly impact various industry-specific metrics, from talent acquisition efficiency to cost savings. These metrics serve as tangible indicators of the transformative influence of staffing firms on the growth trajectory of mid-size consulting businesses. By leveraging these partnerships and measuring their impact, mid-size consulting firms can make informed decisions to drive scalable growth and outperform industry benchmarks.  At BCTG, we have a long history of partnering with mid-size consulting firms across industries.

Working in the tech industry allows you to make real-world impacts by identifying and evaluating problems and creating solutions. The industry is constantly evolving with new innovations and technologies, forging new roles and creating immense growth potential for anyone, regardless of their starting point. If you’re interested in learning how to jumpstart your tech career, continue reading.  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the overall employment in tech roles is projected to grow 15% in the next decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the demand for tech workers continues to increase, companies are changing their job descriptions to focus more on skills and less on degrees.  Fortunately, there are lots of avenues into technology regardless of your background or prior experience. If you're interested in advancing your career path and increasing your earning potential, there is no better time to jump into the tech industry.    

Tips on How to Jumpstart Your Tech Career

 

Do your research.

The tech industry is a very broad field. Before jumping right into coding, for example, be sure to look into the different areas like web development, data science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, or mobile app development to identify what interests you the most and focus your learning in that area. Once you’ve picked a sector that appeals to you, you’ll want to identify and work on developing the technical skills necessary to excel in this role. Consider researching different programs and websites to learn about the certifications, degrees, and immersive training courses that can best support your career development.   

Remember that self-motivation is a must.

Working in the tech industry often requires a continuous learning mindset as new technologies continue to emerge. Whether it be through online training or independent learning and practice, you can excel in understanding niche technical areas, like data warehousing or software development. This knowledge does not require a college degree, and the information is accessible through various resources online. YouTube also is a free resource that has thousands of videos on anything you might be interested in or to help with a difficult topic you’re struggling with.   

Earn industry certifications.

Getting certified may be the quickest entry point into the technology industry. While a tech degree can take 1 to 4 years to complete, some certifications can be earned in just a few weeks. There are many comparisons between getting a degree or earning certifications, but it's important to note that a degree is not mandatory for entering the tech workforce. In fact, 59% of senior IT leaders (Director titles and higher) say they're experiencing difficulties hiring qualified IT talent. By getting certified, you'll show potential employers that you have the skills they need and therefore open the door to more job opportunities.   

Create a customized résumé that sticks out.

When applying for jobs in the tech industry, review the descriptions of the open positions that interest you. This helps you understand the requirements and important aspects of the role, enabling you to customize your résumé for a targeted appeal to hiring managers. Each company, job, and hiring process is unique, and adjusting your résumé for each role can help differentiate you from other candidates, so include specific skills, tools, languages, software, and programs you are familiar with. Relevant keywords can also enhance the likelihood of your résumé being chosen for further evaluation, especially if a company utilizes résumé-scanning software.   

Have a continuous learning mindset.

Technology is constantly evolving, with new tools, frameworks, and methodologies emerging regularly. If you're interested in advancing your career path and increasing your earning potential, you will need a constant learning mindset. You’ll want to take advantage of online resources and opportunities to stay updated with the latest trends and technologies, as well as relevant tech skills that employers are looking for. There are a plethora of training courses online for any specific skills or topics you are interested in, so there is limitless opportunity when it comes to your own upskilling and reskilling initiatives.    

Network, network, network!

To get a good idea of what a career in tech looks like, make sure to connect and have conversations with people in the industry. This can be through online platforms, as well as attending tech meetups, conferences, and seminars. Talk to people about their own career path and experiences, and how it relates to the wider tech sector. Networking allows professionals to share knowledge, build meaningful relationships, enhance visibility, and build repor.   There are many online communities dedicated to various aspects of the tech industry. You could join communities on Reddit, like LearnRust, as well as sites like StackOverflow that offer assistance with those on a coding journey. Before pursuing a tech career, you want to be sure you know which area you want to go into and find people in it to talk to. By forming new connections and cultivating relationships, you can enhance your professional network and increase your opportunities to engage with potential employers.   

How to Jumpstart Your Tech Career Today

It’s important to see a career as a journey, with persistence and continuous learning being key in the tech industry. Stay curious, keep learning, and don't be afraid to take on challenges. To put yourself in the best competitive position against other job candidates, make sure to do your research, put yourself out there and attend networking events, fine tune your résumé to specific positions, and take advantage of training opportunities and certifications.   If you’re already on your tech journey and looking for your next opportunity, click here.    Contributions from Julia Hoffman 
SAP data migrations, a crucial aspect of any SAP implementation or upgrade, require a specialized skill set to ensure seamless transition and optimal performance. When it comes to hiring talent for SAP data migration, organizations often face the dilemma of choosing between permanent hires, temporary staff, or a combination of both.   In this post, we explore the various staffing options available and shed light on how working with a staffing firm to find temporary or contract talent can be the most beneficial for SAP data migrations.   

The Landscape of SAP Data Migrations

Before delving into the staffing options, it's essential to understand the complexity of SAP data migrations. This process involves transferring data from legacy systems to SAP systems, ensuring data accuracy, integrity, and compliance with regulatory standards. Given the intricate nature of SAP data migration, having a skilled and experienced team is paramount for success.   

Staffing Options for an SAP Data Migration

 

Permanent Hires

Permanent employees are considered a traditional choice for organizations looking to build an in-house team for an SAP data migration. While permanent hires bring stability and long-term commitment, they may also come with challenges such as higher costs and longer recruitment cycles. Additionally, once the project is completed, maintaining a full-time SAP data migration team might not be cost-effective.    

Consulting Firms 

Many organizations opt for consulting firms that specialize in SAP services. These firms provide access to a pool of experts with diverse skill sets. However, their services often come at a premium cost. Further, consulting firms may not always align with the organization's culture and may lack a deep understanding of the specific challenges unique to the company.  

Temporary or Contract Talent 

Hiring temporary or contract talent for SAP data migration offers a flexible and strategic approach. This option allows organizations to bring in specialized professionals for the duration of the project, ensuring that they have the expertise required without committing to long-term employment. Temporary staff can seamlessly integrate into the existing team, bringing fresh perspectives and skills tailored to the project's needs.  Whether selecting permanent hires, working with a consulting firm, or bringing in temporary talent, organizations should keep these considerations in mind as they determine what talent to hire for their SAP data migration.   

Advantages of Temporary Talent in an SAP Data Migration

 

Cost-Effective Solutions 

One of the primary benefits of hiring temporary talent is cost-effectiveness. Organizations can avoid the long-term financial commitments associated with permanent hires, such as salaries, benefits, and training costs. With temporary staff, businesses only pay for the specific duration of the project, making it a more budget-friendly option.   

Flexibility and Scalability 

Temporary talent provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing organizations to scale their teams according to project requirements. SAP data migration projects often have fluctuating workloads, and temporary staff can be easily onboarded or released based on the project's progress. This adaptability ensures that the team size aligns with the workload, optimizing resource utilization.   

Access to Specialized Skills 

SAP data migrations demand a specialized skill set that may not be readily available within the existing workforce. Temporary talent brings in professionals with niche expertise, ensuring that the project is handled by individuals who understand the intricacies of SAP systems. This targeted knowledge can significantly contribute to the success of the data migration.   

Efficient Project Execution 

Temporary staff, often hired for their specific project-related skills, can hit the ground running. Unlike permanent hires who may require time for onboarding and training, temporary talent is focused on immediate project needs. This efficiency translates to faster project execution, meeting deadlines and minimizing disruptions to regular business operations.   

Risk Mitigation 

SAP data migration projects come with inherent risks, including data inconsistencies, system downtimes, potential disruptions to business processes, and so on. Temporary talent, often accustomed to working on diverse projects, brings a level of risk mitigation through their experience and ability to navigate challenges effectively. Their temporary status also means that they are accountable for the project's success and demonstrating their value during their tenure.   

How to Hire Talent for an SAP Data Migration

While permanent hires and consulting firms have their merits, the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and specialized skills offered by temporary talent make them a compelling choice for many organizations.  By strategically leveraging temporary staff for SAP data migrations, businesses can build a dynamic and adaptable team that aligns with project requirements. This approach not only ensures successful project execution but also allows organizations to optimize costs and maintain a competitive edge in the ever-evolving business technology landscape.  For help finding talent for your SAP data migration, contact BCTG today.

The staffing process encompassing the recruitment, selection, and management of a company’s employees is a constant commitment. Many companies aren’t equipped to handle this process and don’t have the resources to effectively hire top talent. As such, outsourcing your staffing needs to a third party has become a modern solution to this problem, as partnerships with staffing and recruiting experts can provide a competitive edge in the job market while also offering other benefits. With these advantages, there are also drawbacks that firms need to consider carefully before making a decision. Below, we delve into the pros and cons of outsourcing your staffing need.   

Pros of outsourcing your staffing needs

 

Time and Cost Savings

The associated time and money saved is often the most discussed benefit of outsourcing staffing. Staffing firms are well-versed in the hiring industry and have perfected their processes to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. In some cases, companies looking to hire may pay as much as seven times what they could pay for an external service to handle it. In addition, staffing companies can oversee compliance, payroll, and HR processes that will cut additional administrative costs. By leveraging their curated processes, staffing agencies can reduce the time and effort required for hiring processes while also bringing top talent to your firm.    

Access to a Larger Talent Pool and Specialized Expertise

Staffing firms possess a deep understanding of the necessary skills required for specific roles and have access to a vast network of professionals. This combination allows these agencies to identify the most qualified candidates with skills that will add to your company and values that align with yours. Staffing companies also leverage their specialized expertise through a rigorous screening processes, which enhances the quality of candidates being brought in.    

Ability to Focus on Core Competencies

Hiring processes have associated time, costs, and resources that can be better used to serve a company’s founding mission. With time and money saved and confidence that the staffing firm will bring in the most qualified professionals, companies can confidently redirect their focus and resources towards their core competencies. Through this, companies can concentrate on their key business objectives, often attaining increased efficiency and productivity levels.    

Cons of outsourcing your staffing needs

 

Less Immediate Control

When a business process that was previously executed by an in-house team gets outsourced to a staffing agency, there is less immediate control in the hands of the company. If this transition is mismanaged by either party, the quality of the operation can go downhill. This could result in unforeseen costs, lower quality hires, and lost efficiency. To mitigate these impacts, it is suggested that the firm clearly explains its unique objectives, needs, and expectations for the partnership.    

Communication Challenges

On a similar note, outsourcing staffing needs opens the door for miscommunications to occur. Especially if the staffing agency isn’t in close proximity, in-person check-ins and other communications become more difficult. These challenges can be easily addressed by setting core business hours for the partnership, standardizing strong channels for communication, and organizing set communication points with regularity.    

Privacy and Security Concerns

Depending on what key functions a staffing firm is hired to perform, elements of your business assets and information will be exposed to outsiders. The chances are rather low that this inside information will be used with malintent, but outsourcing staffing needs puts company information outside of your direct walls. Careful management and oversight of privacy, intellectual property, and data protection are imperative throughout an outsourcing partnership.    

Partnering with BCTG

Strategic partnerships with the right staffing firm can help a company achieve a more efficient and specialized hiring process, bringing in the top talent they desire. Before making any final decisions on a staffing agency, the potential risks need to be discussed and a deliberate plan needs to be laid out. With proper planning and execution, your company can optimize its talent acquisition process and develop the competitive advantage it seeks.   To learn more about outsourcing your staffing needs with BCTG, click here.    Contributions from Aaron Messer
In the tech world, staying relevant and competitive requires continuous learning and skill enhancement.

The technology industry continues to flourish in the United States with a CAGR of 8.2% predicted through 2032, and it can be difficult to determine which position will be the best fit for someone transitioning to the industry or looking to switch roles. The location of a position can be a key factor in determining if a position will be the best choice for enhancing or jumpstarting your tech career.   While many tech positions are transitioning to a remote style, many companies still have the option to work in person, and choosing a location that is a tech hotspot can boost your opportunities for critical professional elements, such as career development and networking.   We’ve outlined some of the top high-tech cities for you to explore when determining what position is your best fit for an in-person role below.   

Top High-Tech Cities

 

Austin, Texas

Austin has become a technology hotspot, rooted particularly in innovative software startups. The significant presence of big-name companies, such as IBM, as well as numerous venture capital firms fosters a growth-focused tech culture. Many companies in Austin have a specific focus on life sciences and medical technologies, but the busy city continues to attract business from all industries. With a lower cost of living, working in tech in Austin is very lucrative and can make lifestyle expenses more affordable.   

Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina

Often referred to as the research triangle, the Raleigh-Durham area is projected to be one of the strongest tech hubs on the east coast by 2025. There are numerous startups present in the triangle, and the proximity to prominent research universities like Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill fosters a culture of consistent learning and professional development. The Raleigh-Durham area is home to Research Triangle Park, which is the largest US research park. This presents incredible opportunities to find a position in any desired industry.   

Seattle, Washington

Seattle, in moderate proximity to Silicon Valley, is another city that features more affordable living and a robust tech ecosystem. Tech entrepreneurs can find venture capital and a culture of innovation, as Seattle is home to established companies, like Google, as well as numerous modern startups. Seattle has honed in on novel technologies, such as cloud security and artificial intelligence, and there’s a strong offering of executive and entry-level jobs that have space for any level of tech professionals.   

Silicon Valley, California

Silicon Valley is widely acknowledged to be one of the best cities for tech workers due to its history of housing numerous entrepreneurs as well as huge-name companies, such as Google, Meta, and Apple. This well-established tech environment promotes the establishment and sustenance of new tech companies, allowing the Silicon Valley tech community to continuously expand.   

Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C. offers a unique range of tech positions and opportunities, especially for those interested in the public sector. Investments are plentiful in this city due to the stability and talent attraction that the federal government and local groups provide.

In recent years, businesses have faced significant changes, adapting to global challenges like supply chain disruptions, talent shortages, inflationary pressures, and geopolitical instability. During this time, the importance of IT departments has become more evident in strategic planning discussions. As we approach four years since widespread disruption began, it's essential to understand how companies are prioritizing their IT operations amidst these ongoing changes.  Clarkston Consulting conducted its inaugural CIO Survey in late 2021 to delve into the current and future priorities and challenges of senior IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies with revenues exceeding $350 million in retail, consumer products, manufacturing, or life sciences. Since then, they've conducted annual surveys to gain deeper insights into the IT landscape. In December, Clarkston conducted its most recent CIO Survey.  We have included five key takeaways from the 2024 CIO Survey below.   

2024 CIO Survey Key Takeaways

 

Companies are shifting from using one ERP system to multiple/hybrid systems.

Of those surveyed, just over one-third (35%) of respondents use multiple or hybrid systems, up from 20% last year. The remaining respondents are split relatively equally between SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft. Of those who use a multiple/hybrid system, 9 in 10 respondents plan to keep their current setup.  With more organizations moving toward a multiple/hybrid system, it is important to note that managing multiple systems can introduce complexities into business processes, as data may need to be transferred or synchronized between systems, which can lead to challenges in integration and maintenance. This often means that organizations will need to invest in a boarder range of expertise to manage and maintain these systems effectively.   

IT budgets are expected to increase in 2024.

Slightly more than half of respondents indicated that their IT budgets are set to increase this year, up from one-third last year. Generative AI or AI-related tools are at the top of the list of technologies these organizations will be investing in at 33%, followed by Internet of Things (IoT), cloud technology and solutions, and machine learning.  While an increasing IT budget can have several implications, let’s focus on the fact that one-third of respondents expect to put this toward generative AI or AI-related tools. Most importantly, with more spending being put toward AI, organizations must invest in talent and infrastructure while considering the ethical and regulatory implications of AI – ensuring transparency and accountability while complying with data privacy and security regulations.    

Training resources will be focused on platform-specific training.

In 2024, six in 10 respondents plan to allocate training resources toward platform-specific training, up from 36% last year. On the other hand, fewer firms (23%) plan to provide training for communication or soft skills in the coming year.  This data could have a few interpretations, but we see it as the following: individuals have cemented their soft skills, and organizations are now helping these individuals hone their skills in niche areas (i.e. specific platforms). This is incredibly promising as more individuals in IT will have the opportunity to become experts in platforms like SAP or Snowflake.   

AI is being increasingly leveraged for data analysis.

When asked about AI usage, 81% of organizations said they are leveraging AI for data analysis. As usage rises, companies are ensuring the ethical use of AI through training, regular monitoring, and more.  It comes as no surprise that AI is being increasingly leveraged for data analysis, as AI is known for handling large volumes of data and identifying trends and insights from said data. However, as organizations continue to leverage AI for data analysis, they must have the right resources and infrastructure in place to ensure ethical use.   

Managed services are the most outsourced IT activity.

Nearly three-fourths (72%) of respondents are outsourcing managed IT services, with expertise, trust, and resource availability being the most important criteria for an outsourced partner to have. The ability to demonstrate success (via case studies or other methods) is also important.  The trend toward outsourcing managed services presents a unique opportunity for firms like BCTG, pushing us further to ensure we have the right talent in place and ready to help our clients.

As businesses increasingly rely on SAP solutions, the demand for skilled SAP professionals has surged. However, with this demand comes the need for careful consideration of compliance and contractual aspects when it comes to staffing.  SAP staffing involves the recruitment and deployment of professionals with expertise in SAP technologies, and these experts play a pivotal role in implementing, customizing, and maintaining SAP solutions to meet organizational objectives. While SAP staffing offers numerous benefits, it also poses inherent risks, especially in the realms of compliance and contractual agreements, that organizations must take into consideration.  Below, we outline some of those key compliance and contractual considerations firms should consider when mitigating risk in SAP staffing.   

Compliance Considerations in SAP Staffing

 

Legal 

Adherence to legal requirements is paramount in staffing. Employment laws, both at the local and international levels, can significantly impact staffing decisions. As such, it is crucial for organizations to stay informed about labor regulations, work permits, and visa requirements when engaging SAP professionals, especially if they are from different geographic locations.  Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to legal consequences, such as fines or penalties. Organizations outsourcing their staffing needs must work with experts who can ensure their SAP staffing practices align with the applicable laws in the regions where they operate.   

Certification Requirements

SAP professionals are often required to possess specific certifications to demonstrate their proficiency in handling SAP applications. Employers should verify that their SAP staff members hold the necessary certifications, as failing to do so can impact the quality of work and expose the organization to compliance risks.  By including certification verification as part of the recruitment process and periodically auditing the qualifications of existing SAP professionals, staffing firms can help organizations ensure that their staff remains compliant with industry standards.   

Contractual Considerations in SAP Staffing

 

Clear Scope of Work

Defining a clear and comprehensive scope of work is fundamental to a successful staffing initiative, as ambiguities in job descriptions and responsibilities can lead to misunderstandings and disputes between employers and professionals. To mitigate this risk, organizations should develop detailed job profiles that outline specific tasks, project deliverables, and performance expectations.

With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), recruitment processes have undergone a significant transformation. This technology has not only streamlined the hiring process but has also revolutionized the way organizations identify, attract, manage, and retain top talent.  In this piece, we dive into the impact of AI on talent acquisition, including its benefits and potential challenges, as well as best practices for implementing AI for talent acquisition strategies. 

 

The Role of AI in Talent Acquisition

One of the most significant advantages of integrating AI into talent acquisition is its ability to sift through vast pools of candidates quickly and efficiently. AI-powered algorithms can analyze résumés, cover letters, social media profiles, and online professional platforms to identify potential candidates whose skills and experiences match the job requirements. This not only saves time but also ensures that recruiters are presented with a diverse and relevant pool of candidates who are well-suited for the position.  Along with enhanced candidate sourcing, AI leverages big data to make informed decisions in the hiring process. By analyzing historical data on successful hires, AI algorithms can identify patterns and traits that are indicative of a candidate's potential success in a role, minimizing the risk of biased decision-making and increasing the likelihood of selecting a good fit for the team. 

 

Benefits of AI-Driven Talent Acquisition

Organizations can leverage AI for recruiting to realize a number of benefits, including: 

 

Potential Challenges and Considerations

While the benefits of AI in talent acquisition are substantial, there are important considerations and potential challenges that organizations should be mindful of as they begin implementing new AI-enabled practices or processes. 

 

Exploring AI for Talent Acquisition

The use of AI for talent acquisition represents a transformative shift in the way organizations can identify and hire top talent. By leveraging AI’s abilities, organizations can streamline recruitment and hiring processes, reduce biases, and ultimately build stronger, more diverse teams. However, it's essential to approach AI implementation with careful consideration, ensuring that it aligns with ethical standards and complements the skills and expertise of your hiring team.   To continue the discussion, reach out to the BCTG team here.

Among leading companies, staff augmentation serves as a common strategy for overcoming gaps on the IT team. These gaps could be driven by missing skills, limited capacity to complete mission-critical projects, or simply by lack of qualified resources to fill urgent full-time hiring needs. Today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape is creating a greater sense of urgency to leverage subject matter experts to help propel an organization’s IT transformation. As we continue into 2024, IT hiring managers are facing unique challenges and opportunities in sourcing, hiring, managing, and retaining top talent.   At a recent ASUG (Americas’ SAP User Group) Carolinas Chapter meeting held at NC State University in Raleigh, NC, attendees discussed this very problem in a lively panel debate on the ‘war for talent.’ This article discusses the most pressing trends addressed by the panel and highlights examples and strategies for leveraging staff augmentation to win the war. As you transition into Q2 and navigate the challenges in finding resources for your project and support needs, consider these trends and ways to meet your needs with flexible staffing arrangements.   

2024 Trends

 

#1: Remote Work & a Global Talent Pool

IT teams, like most, have witnessed a significant shift towards remote work, driven by technological advancements and changing workforce preferences. In 2024, remote work will still be the norm, enabling organizations to access a global talent pool and overcome geographical limitations in talent acquisition. In fact, data has found that remote jobs attract a 125% larger inbound candidate pool than non-remote jobs. Prior to the widespread adoption of cloud solutions and the pandemic era, staff augmentation was primarily delivered onsite – whether by local resources, or, more commonly, by traveling consultants. Now, most IT resources typically expect to work 100% remote or with limited travel to project sites. How do you resolve the need for firsthand, in-person exposure to business and functional challenges solved by IT solutions?  This is not a new challenge and companies have invested heavily in technologies and business practices to overcome the challenges inherent to the remote working model. With a remote workplace, hiring managers are leveraging collaboration tools such as Slack and Microsoft Teams to facilitate seamless communication and collaboration among distributed teams, and cloud computing platforms like AWS and Google Cloud have further facilitated remote work by providing scalable infrastructure and access to critical resources. As a result, hiring managers can source augmented talent from anywhere in the world, leading to greater diversity and access to specialized skills.   

#2: Soft Skills Over Degrees

In 2024, traditional qualifications are no longer the sole determinant of a tech candidate's suitability for a role. Instead, hiring managers are prioritizing candidates with relevant skills, practical (contextual) experience, and certifications over formal degrees. The number of job postings in the US that didn’t mention qualifications such as academic degrees or certifications has increased steadily over the past few years, and in September, the percentage reached 41.6%, up from 37% in November 2022.    This increasing focus on skills-based hiring also allows organizations to tap into new candidate markets while simultaneously giving way to more opportunities for the “hidden workforce,” which represents 14-17% of U.S. workers, and includes retirees who want to work, caregivers who have increasing obligations at home, neurodiverse individuals, people with long-term health problems, ex-inmates, and people without degrees.

Organizations continue to face ever-changing demands and challenges that require a flexible and agile workforce. Whether it's adapting to technological advancements, responding to market fluctuations, or navigating the complexities of a globalized economy, the need for a skilled and adaptable workforce has never been more critical. For businesses seeking assistance building a workforce that supports evolving needs, partnering with a staffing and recruiting firm may be the way to go.  Below, we explore how staffing firms can help you find talent that can support your evolving needs.   

The Changing Face of Work

The traditional 9-to-5 job model is gradually giving way to a more diverse and fluid work environment. With the rise of remote and hybrid work, gig economy, and project-based engagements, businesses are rethinking their staffing strategies. This shift demands a workforce that can swiftly adapt to new roles and project requirements.  Staffing and recruiting firms excel in understanding these shifting dynamics. They specialize in identifying and connecting organizations with the right talent, equipped with the skills and mindset required to thrive in this changing landscape. Whether you need in-person or remote talent or a full-time or contract worker, these firms act as strategic partners, helping businesses build a workforce that aligns with their goals and can swiftly respond to emerging challenges.   

How Staffing Firms Can Help

 

Specialized Expertise

One of the key advantages of partnering with staffing and recruiting firms is their specialized expertise. These firms invest time and resources in understanding industry trends, emerging technologies, and the specific qualifications, certifications, and skill sets required for various roles. This in-depth industry knowledge allows them to source and present candidates who not only have the necessary qualifications but also possess a nuanced understanding of the industry.  For businesses with evolving needs, tapping into this specialized expertise can be a game-changer. Whether it's navigating regulatory changes or identifying talent for niche roles, staffing and recruiting firms have the network and insights to streamline the hiring process.   

Rapid Response to Market Changes

Market dynamics are unpredictable, and businesses need to be agile to stay ahead of the curve. A recent survey found that nearly three-fourths (72%) of respondents are outsourcing managed IT services, and staffing and recruiting firms are a valuable resource for organizations looking to scale up or down quickly in response to market changes. Whether it's a sudden surge in demand or a need to downsize, these firms offer a pool of pre-vetted candidates ready to step into roles at short notice.  This rapid response capability is particularly crucial in industries where time-to-market is a competitive advantage. Staffing firms can significantly reduce the time and effort spent on recruitment, allowing businesses to seize opportunities and navigate challenges more swiftly and efficiently.   

Access to a Diverse Talent Pool

Diversity and inclusion are essential components of a successful and innovative workforce. Staffing and recruiting firms actively work towards building diverse talent pools, ensuring that organizations have access to a wide range of candidates from different backgrounds and perspectives.  In an era where diversity is increasingly recognized as a driver of creativity, leveraging the expertise of staffing firms becomes invaluable. These firms can help organizations build teams that reflect the diversity of their customer base and bring a variety of skills, lived experiences, and insights to the table.   

Cost-Effective Solutions

Managing the entire recruitment process in-house can be resource-intensive, especially for small- and mid-sized enterprises. Staffing and recruiting firms offer a cost-effective alternative by taking on various aspects of the hiring process, from initial candidate sourcing to onboarding.  By outsourcing certain recruitment functions, businesses can focus their internal resources on core operations and strategic initiatives. This not only reduces costs but also allows organizations to tap into the expertise and efficiency of dedicated recruitment professionals.   

Mitigating Talent Shortages

Certain industries face acute talent shortages, whether due to rapid technological advancements or demographic shifts. Staffing and recruiting firms actively address these challenges by proactively identifying and engaging with potential candidates. They also play a crucial role in talent pipelining, helping businesses build relationships with high-potential candidates even before a position becomes vacant.  For organizations grappling with skill shortages or looking to future-proof their workforce, partnering with staffing firms provides a strategic advantage. These firms can assist in developing talent acquisition strategies that align with industry trends and ensure a steady pipeline of qualified candidates no matter the landscape. No matter the current talent landscape, staffing firms ensure that your business has its necessary roles filled.   

Navigating the Gig Economy

The gig economy has transformed the way people work, and businesses are increasingly incorporating contractors and temporary workers into their workforce. Staffing and recruiting firms are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the gig economy, matching organizations with skilled professionals seeking flexible arrangements.  Whether it's short-term projects, seasonal demands, or specialized skills for specific tasks, staffing firms streamline the process of recruiting and hiring these gig workers. This flexibility allows businesses to scale their workforce up or down based on project requirements without the long-term commitments associated with traditional hiring.   

Building Long-Term Partnerships

Beyond immediate hiring needs, staffing and recruiting firms focus on building long-term partnerships with their clients. By understanding the unique culture, values, goals, and evolving needs of an organization, these firms can contribute to building a workforce that aligns with the company's vision.  Long-term partnerships with staffing firms enable businesses to adapt to evolving market conditions with agility. The firms become an extension of the organization's HR department, providing strategic insights and ongoing support to ensure the workforce remains aligned with the company's overarching objectives.   

Final Thoughts

In a landscape marked by uncertainty and rapid change, staffing and recruiting firms play a vital role in supporting organizations' evolving needs. From providing specialized expertise and rapid response capabilities to addressing talent shortages and navigating the gig economy, these firms offer comprehensive solutions to the challenges of workforce management.  As businesses continue to evolve, staffing and recruiting firms will remain an instrumental resource.

The IT industry faced various economic pressures throughout 2023. Uncertainty with regards to market conditions has led many companies to change hiring strategies, product lineups, and other capital projects. As a result, hiring managers and those looking to start a career in IT have dealt with difficulty and may not be out of the tunnel yet.   2023 also saw a boom in AI technologies and services, which has had trickle-down effects on AI subsectors like machine learning, natural language processing, and robotics. Whether this will lead to a bloated tech bubble is yet to be seen, but for now, many companies are entering the space.  In this eBook, we explore an overview of the 2024 IT industry as well as key trends to be aware of.    

Industry Overview

A recent survey found that more than 50% of CIOs expect IT budgets to increase in 2024, as opposed to 33% in 2023.  With a smaller labor supply, however, it’s more difficult for firms to fill IT jobs. Consequently, less complex IT roles like data processing and forecasting are becoming more automated. The rise in generative AI and machine learning has especially contributed to firms building out significant automated systems.   Internal IT divisions are also shifting their priority to modernization. This means a buildout of new enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) software. Organizations are finding it vital to keep pace with competition through digital transformations.   High inflation in 2023 does, however, put a dent in spending on non-critical areas of the industry this year. Spending on new devices, for example, is expected to decline as companies wait longer to update. This may be indicative of a change in mindset from pandemic device spending in which firms splurged to bolster remote work.  Finally, labor supply continues to clash with demand as hiring managers struggle to fill roles. Positions with the most growth include cybersecurity, web developers, and cloud engineers. Emerging sectors like AI are also eager for talent as the market is projected to reach a valuation of over $400 billion by 2027. Firms may be forced to offer additional incentives like increased remote work to capture the best talent.

As we move further into 2024, the world of technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace. To stay competitive, companies need to invest not only in cutting-edge technology but also in skilled professionals who can harness its potential.   Below, we detail how strategic tech staffing and training initiatives can be the key to unlocking your company's full potential in 2024. 

 

The Tech Talent Gap

The demand for skilled tech professionals has never been higher. From software developers to data scientists, companies across industries are vying for the same pool of talent. This intense competition can lead to challenges in recruiting and retaining top-notch tech talent. However, this shouldn't be viewed as a deterrent, but rather as an opportunity to invest in strategic staffing and training solutions. 

 

Finding the Right Fit

The first step is identifying and hiring the right talent. This involves more than just matching skills to job descriptions; it requires a deep understanding of your company's unique culture, values, and long-term objectives. 

 

Define Clear Job Roles and Expectations

Clearly outline the roles and responsibilities for each tech position to ensure that both the hiring team and potential candidates have a comprehensive understanding of what is expected for the specific position. 

 

Leverage Technology for Recruitment

Implement AI-powered tools and platforms to streamline the recruitment process. These technologies can help identify top candidates and assess their skills in a more efficient manner, saving time and money along the way. 

 

Emphasize Soft Skills

While technical proficiency is crucial, don't underestimate the importance of soft skills, such as communication and teamwork. These qualities contribute to a positive work environment and can ultimately foster greater innovation among the team. 

 

Promote Diversity and Inclusion

A diverse workforce brings a wide range of perspectives and ideas, which can be invaluable in problem-solving and creativity. Make diversity a priority in your hiring process, particularly as more and more candidates are seeking out employers who value diversity, equity, and inclusion within their organizations. 

 

Cultivating Continuous Growth

Once you’ve assembled your team, the next critical step is to invest in their ongoing development. The technology landscape is ever-changing, and ensuring your team has the latest skills and knowledge is imperative. It can also serve as a retention tool, demonstrating to your employees that you value their growth and development. 

  

Tailor Learning Paths

Recognize that each member of your team has unique strengths and areas for improvement. Develop personalized learning paths that align with individual goals as well as the company's overall objectives. 

 

Utilize Blended Learning Approaches

Combine traditional classroom-style training with online courses and hands-on projects. This multi-faceted approach ensures that employees receive well-rounded training and have the skills and experience necessary to tackle any future challenge or project. 

 

Stay On Top of Industry Trends

The IT industry is constantly evolving. As such, ensure that your training and professional development curriculums are regularly updated to reflect the latest industry trends and emerging technologies to keep your team on the cutting edge of innovation. 

 

Encourage Certifications and Specializations

Certifications from reputable organizations validate the expertise of your team members and can be a valuable asset when competing for projects and contracts. As such, incentivize training, if possible, or provide flexible arrangements for employees seeking additional certifications or specializations.   

Foster a Culture of Learning

Mid-size consulting firms often find themselves in a delicate balancing act as they strive to grow their client base and expand service offerings while maintaining operational efficiency and managing costs effectively. Staffing partnerships, when strategically chosen and managed, can be a valuable asset for mid-size consulting firms as they offer flexible and scalable access to specialized talent, enabling firms to meet client demands and navigate market fluctuations. However, assessing the value of these partnerships requires a comprehensive understanding of the firm's needs and goals and the potential benefits and drawbacks of such collaborations.  Below, we explore how your organization can best assess the value of staffing partnerships for mid-size consulting firms.   

Understanding the Needs and Goals of Your Firm

Before diving into assessing staffing partnerships, it's essential to have a clear understanding of your consulting firm's needs and goals. Consider the following questions:   

What are the firm’s current and future project requirements?

Understanding the types of projects your firm undertakes and their scope will help determine the skills and expertise you need from staffing partners.   

Is the firm looking to expand into new markets or service areas?

If so, partnering with firms that have experience or expertise in those areas can accelerate your growth, and even if not, it is still extremely beneficial to partner with a firm to build out talent in your firm’s current area of expertise.   

What are the budgetary constraints?

Balancing cost-effectiveness with quality is crucial, especially for mid-size firms with limited resources in today’s economic landscape.   

Does the firm have any specific timelines or deadlines to meet?

Flexibility and responsiveness from staffing partners can be critical in meeting project deadlines.   

Are there any regulatory or compliance requirements in our industry?

Ensuring that your staffing partners adhere to these regulations is essential to avoid legal issues.    Asking these questions before moving forward with a staffing partnership can help provide insight into the exact needs of your firm and help give you a clearer picture of what you need from a partner.   

Identifying Potential Staffing Partners

Once you have a clear understanding of your firm's needs and goals, the next step is to identify potential staffing partners. Here are some key factors to consider:   

Reputation and Track Record

Thoroughly evaluate the reputation and track record of staffing firms under consideration. In fact, a recent CIO survey found that 79% of respondents view case studies and demonstrated success as important criteria when selecting an outsourcing or managed services partner.   As such, it is best to seek out those with a proven history of success within your industry or niche. Valuable insights can be gleaned from client testimonials and case studies, offering a glimpse into their past performances and capabilities.   

Specialization and Expertise

Prioritize firms that exhibit a specialization or possess expertise relevant to your industry or the specific services you require. After all, the same CIO survey found that 79% of respondents also view technology and industry expertise as important considerations.   Considering a firm's specialization and expertise ensures that they possess the requisite skills and knowledge necessary to effectively contribute to your projects, enhancing the likelihood of successful outcomes.   

Flexibility and Scalability

With 81% of survey respondents acknowledging resource availability as a key criterion, opt for partners capable of adapting and scaling their services in accordance with your fluctuating needs. Whether you require a modest augmentation of resources or the assembly of a sizable team for a particular project, partnering with firms capable of accommodating such variations ensures seamless collaboration and project execution.   

Cost-Effectiveness

While cost remains a significant consideration - with over 70% of respondents noting total cost and pricing as important - it should not overshadow other crucial factors, so seek out partners who offer competitive rates without compromising on quality. Striking the right balance between cost-effectiveness and service excellence is paramount for long-term partnership viability.   

Compatibility

As 70% of CIO survey respondents highlighted cultural alignment as important, remember to evaluate the compatibility between your firm and potential staffing partners by assessing their cultural alignment, including factors such as working styles and communication preferences. A partnership built on shared values and effective communication lays the groundwork for mutual success.   

Evaluating the Benefits of Staffing Partnerships

Staffing partnerships can offer several benefits to mid-size consulting firms, including:   

Assessing the Drawbacks and Risks

While staffing partnerships present various advantages, they also entail certain drawbacks and risks that warrant consideration. For example, excessive reliance on staffing partners may result in dependency issues which could potentially undermine autonomy and flexibility.  Additionally, sharing sensitive information with staffing partners carries inherent security risks, necessitating stringent confidentiality agreements and safeguards.   Maintaining the desired level of work quality from staffing partners can also prove challenging, particularly when their practices and standards diverge from those of your firm. Disparities in work culture and communication styles between your firm and staffing partners may also give rise to misunderstandings and operational inefficiencies, further highlighting the importance of effective collaboration and alignment.   

Implementing a Successful Staffing Partnership Strategy

To maximize the value of staffing partnerships, implementing several key strategies is essential. Firstly, establish clear and open communication channels with your staffing partners to ensure alignment with project goals and expectations. From there, maintain regular performance monitoring against predefined metrics to uphold quality and efficiency, and cultivate a feedback loop where constructive criticism aids in their improvement and better alignment with your needs. Additionally, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within both your firm and the staffing partners can drive innovation and efficiency.   Assessing the value of staffing partnerships for mid-size consulting firms requires a holistic approach. By carefully evaluating the factors outlined above and implementing a strategic partnership strategy, mid-size consulting firms can leverage staffing partnerships to drive growth and operational excellence.  To learn about working with BCTG for your staffing needs, contact the team here.

In today's competitive landscape, where every candidate interaction and touchpoint counts, businesses are constantly seeking ways to enhance their brand reputation. One often overlooked yet powerful strategy is leveraging staffing agencies. These agencies play a pivotal role in not only filling immediate hiring needs but also in shaping a business’s image and reputation in the long term.   In this piece, we dive into how staffing agencies can help in building a strong employer brand.   

Ways Staffing Firms Can Help in Building a Strong Employer Brand

 

Access to Top Talent

Staffing agencies specialize in connecting businesses with top-tier talent. By partnering with a reputable agency, your business gains access to a pool of qualified candidates who have been thoroughly vetted and assessed for their skills, experience, and expertise, as well as cultural fit. This ensures that every individual brought on board possesses the capabilities to contribute positively to your business’ success and overall brand reputation.   

Streamlined Recruitment Processes

Recruitment can be time-consuming and resource intensive. Staffing agencies streamline this process by handling everything from sourcing and screening candidates to conducting interviews and facilitating the hiring process. This efficiency not only saves your business valuable time and resources, allowing you to strengthen your reputation as a brand who fills vacancies promptly and minimizes disruptions to operations.   

Expertise in Employer Branding

Staffing agencies understand the importance of employer branding in attracting top talent. They work closely with your business to highlight its unique value proposition and company culture, effectively positioning it as an employer of choice within the industry. This helps attract high-caliber candidates who are not only qualified but also aligned with your brand's values and vision.   

Flexibility and Scalability

Staffing agencies offer flexibility by providing access to temporary, contract, or permanent staff based on your business’s evolving needs. Whether you require additional support during peak seasons or specialized expertise for specific projects, staffing agencies ensure that your workforce remains scalable and adaptable to changing demands.    

Mitigation of Risks and Liabilities

Employment laws and regulations are constantly evolving, posing significant risks and liabilities for businesses. Staffing agencies assume much of this burden by ensuring compliance with legal requirements, including payroll taxes and benefits. This mitigates the risk of potential legal issues or financial penalties, safeguarding your brand reputation and financial stability.   

Enhanced Candidate Experience

The candidate experience can significantly impact your business’s reputation, regardless of whether individuals are ultimately hired or not. Staffing agencies prioritize delivering a positive candidate experience by providing timely communication, valuable feedback, transparency, and professional support throughout the recruitment process. Even unsuccessful candidates are left with a favorable impression of your business and brand, contributing to a positive reputation within the talent pool.   

Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement

Reputable staffing agencies are committed to delivering excellence in service. They continuously monitor and evaluate their performance, seeking feedback from both clients and candidates to identify areas for improvement. By partnering with such agencies, your brand benefits from a culture of quality assurance and continuous improvement, ensuring that recruitment processes are refined and optimized over time.   

Strategic Partnerships

Successful branding is not just about the present moment but also about building sustainable relationships for long-term success. Staffing agencies serve as strategic partners in this endeavor, aligning their efforts with your business objectives and growth trajectory. By fostering a collaborative partnership, both parties work towards achieving mutual success, further enhancing your brand's reputation in the market.   

Partnering with BCTG

From accessing top talent and streamlining recruitment processes to mitigating risks and fostering positive candidate experiences, the benefits are manifold.

In today’s ever evolving technology landscape, the demand for experts, such as tech consultants, will continue to grow. Tech consultants work for clients on various systems or projects to improve the client’s technological setup. However, clients are always looking for tech consultants with new, topical skills that can navigate present-day changes and expectations. We’ve outlined some of the most in-demand skills for tech consultants in 2024 below.   

6 Must-Have & In-Demand Tech Skills

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) 

One of the skills at the top of the tech consulting market is the ability to understand and leverage AI to improve efficiency and boost automation. Consultants looking to stand out in this field should understand algorithms and data structures and have sufficient knowledge of programming languages like Python or R. AI technology can be a key differentiator for the competitive advantage of a company, so being able to provide and explain tailored, automated solutions to clients will stand out in the tech market.   

Cloud Computing 

Cloud computing has boomed in popularity due to the cost efficiency, accessibility, and convenience that it provides to businesses. Having experience with various cloud platforms, such as Amazon Web Services, can be an incredibly valuable skill in today’s tech consultant field. Consultants with the ability to make a client’s digital cloud transformation possible will be in high demand.   

Cybersecurity 

Companies are often at risk of a cyberattack in today’s digital landscape, so there is a growing demand for tech professionals who can safeguard business information. Having experience with cybersecurity can open numerous job opportunities as companies push to improve their safety and information security. Obtaining a certificate in cybersecurity can be an effective way to illustrate your grasp of the field and provide a credential boost when searching for positions or projects.   

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) 

RPA is technology that makes automated software robots that can emulate human actions. Companies that are looking to boost their efficiency and free up staff for more complex tasks are increasingly utilizing RPA to automate their workflow. Tech consultants that are skilled in RPA and can make automation a reality for a client will stand out in the job market.   

Data Science and Analytics 

In our digital world, companies are establishing more methods to easily gather customer and product information. The increasing amount of collected data translates to a growing demand for tech consultants who can interpret this data into results. Having the ability to manage and analyze data allows companies to make better, data-driven decisions which can translate to greater profits and customer satisfaction.   

User Experience (UX) 

UX design is the process of making software more accessible and user-friendly. As companies incorporate technology into their structures in tandem with the evolving digital landscape, there is a growing demand for tech consultants that can make the operation understandable. Mastering UX will improve software functions and create an easier experience for the client, making your services more appealing.   

Final Thoughts 

In the dynamic world of technology, tech consultants must adapt and learn new skills to stay at the forefront of the job market. From understanding AI to being able to create user-friendly platforms, staying on top of the in-demand skills for 2024 can provide you with a significant advantage.

Interviews pose an opportunity to make a great first impression on an organization, and the most basic questions can carry a surprisingly heavy weight especially when they are the first questions asked and recruiters are just beginning to form their impressions. While you may assume talking about yourself is a softball answer in an interview, perfecting your answer to this question can make you stand out as a candidate. Employers want to hear about your experience, relevant skills, and how well you might fit in with the organization, and this question shows how effectively you can communicate your abilities. Below are suggestions for how to craft a thought-out response for how to answer "Tell Me About Yourself" in an interview .   

3 Tips on How to Answer "Tell Me About Yourself"

 

#1: Keep it Professional 

The question "Tell Me About Yourself" may lead you to believe you can answer nonchalantly because of its casual connotations; however, staying professional and focused is still important. When answering this question, rambling or going into details about a not-so-relevant part of your résumé can take away value from the important and aligned portions of your résumé and experience. Remember that while this is a casual and conversational question, you are in an interview, not talking to a friend or a peer.   To stay on the safe side, avoid talking a lot about hobbies or family unless it is applicable to the position you are interviewing for. Hobbies can be important for employers to explore when evaluating soft skills; however, don't go astray.   For example, say: “Of course, my name is [your name], and my background is in [your industry or area of expertise].”  Then provide a snapshot about your relevant experience and education, and how they connect to the organization.  Avoid saying, “I’m here because I heard you were hiring. In my free time, I like to [irrelevant hobbies or interests].”    

#2: Stay Conversational 

One of the worst mistakes you can make in an interview is being too robotic and calculated. Employers want to see that you can answer questions on-the-spot not just recall memorized answers from your notes. Practicing your answer to this question is important to stay on track, but don't over think. Keeping your answer conversational while appropriate for an interview demonstrates an elevated level of emotional intelligence and communication skills.   Work on managing the balance of being professional while also remaining relaxed and not too premeditated. Having a rough list of points you may want to cover in the interview can be an effective way to manage this balance.   For example, add a personal touch to your answer, smile, and remain engaging with the interviewer. In fact, 39% of candidates create a bad first impression from their lack of smile, voice quality, and overall confidence. Avoid following a tight script, excluding voice inflection, and avoiding eye contact with the interviewer.    

#3: Tailor to the Organization 

Employers are looking for candidates who can seamlessly transition and fit into an organization in terms of skills, experience and expertise, and even character and personality. You can make yourself a more attractive candidate by highlighting your experience or skills that align most with the demands of the role and the company as a whole.   Start by researching the role's requirements and then match those qualifications to your experiences, skills, and certifications. Researching the company beforehand is key, in fact, 47% of candidates are rejected for knowing little to none about the organization. Talking about how your existing skills translate to this position showcases you as an experienced and outstanding candidate. Additionally, including your passions and how they align with the organization's mission and values can demonstrate that you are a good fit for the company even apart from the job's requirements.  For example, say: “In my previous role as an [role], I facilitated projects and goals that align with the requirements of this position. [Elaborate]. I am also deeply committed and passionate about [a value or overall mission that aligns with the organization].” Avoid talking about past jobs that have no relevancy or highlight skills that do not relate to the position for which you are interviewing.   

Moving Forward 

Going into an interview can be a nerve-racking experience, but preparing for questions like these can make you a more confident and well-spoken candidate. Using these tactics, you can master a seemingly simple question and help yourself stand out as a prepared and memorable candidate. If you are looking to improve your interview skills and make yourself a more impressionable and attractive candidate to employers, contact BCTG experts for help.       Contributions from Leah Harding

In a rapidly growing and evolving working environment, the decision between hiring a full-time or contract worker can be difficult as various challenges arise across all industries. Knowing the specific needs of your mid-size consulting firm is key in making these decisions, as different challenges require unique solutions. Choosing whether to bring in temporary expertise or go with the full-time hire ultimately depends on your business's goals and constraints. Full-time workers oftentimes display a higher level of loyalty and commitment to your firm, whereas contractors may be more cost-effective when searching for quick and temporary solutions. Overall, when looking to source candidates to fill roles partnering with a staffing firm can be a simple way to efficiently and seamlessly staff employees for your mid-size consulting firm. For those seeking talent for a mid-size consulting firm, we compare contact workers versus full-time employees below.  

Choosing Talent for a Mid-Size Consulting Firm

 

Contract Workers 

 

Pros

Hiring a contract worker can have many benefits, especially when it comes to unique circumstances like implementing recent technologies. While the simple answer to needing more bandwidth to support an organization would be just to bring on more full-time employees, it is not always that straightforward. Freelancers, consultants, and contractors have more flexibility and are often more cost-effective in the short term. Say you need an SAP expert for an implementation project, hiring a contract worker would be much easier and cheaper than training a team of full-time hires for a potentially short-term project. These experts are often quick and easy to source, especially when using a staffing agency to assist.   

Cons

On the other hand, contract workers are not as useful when creating a team your company is utilizing for the long term. For example, when growing or upskilling your marketing or sales enablement department you may want to consider full-time employees as they have more of a sense of loyalty and commitment to the organization. A solid long-term hire could be more dependable and cheaper than paying a premium for a consultant on some projects.    

Full-Time Employees 

 

Pros

Hiring a full-time employee means making an investment. However, oftentimes investments can be extremely lucrative, providing a source of long-term dependability and revenue, as full-time employees require more up-front costs compared to contract workers. However, in most cases, they make up for this investment as they advance within their role and the company. When looking to grow a sector of the company or bring on more long-term assistance in an existing sector, full-time hires are likely the avenue to take.    

Cons

As mentioned earlier, full-time employees are an investment, not a quick fix. In busy seasons, companies are often overloaded, and may not have the bandwidth or time to source, screen, and select the perfect candidate for their team. In times of stress, bringing on a contract worker may be the right decision because they don't require extensive training and are already experts in their field. They are especially useful in temporary projects where a quick solution is easier than scouting out-house talent or upskilling your current employees. Using a staffing agency to find experts can help find the niche talents your organization may be searching for short-term projects.    

Looking Forward 

When making the decision between full-time and contract employees for your mid-size consulting firm, it's important to know the needs and goals of your organizations. Both types of employees are beneficial in their own way; however, knowing your budget, time-constraints, and overall capabilities will tell you more about how to effectively staff your projects.

In recent months, we’ve seen Artificial intelligence (AI) make a significant impact on talent management. Traditionally, talent management has been a manual and time-consuming process, but with the advent of AI, organizations are now able to leverage advanced algorithms and data analytics to streamline and enhance their talent management processes and practices. In this eBook, we explore the role of AI in talent management and how it is revolutionizing the way organizations attract, develop, and retain their most valuable asset - their people. 

 

AI IN TALENT MANAGEMENT

 

Optimizing Recruitment Processes

Recruitment is the cornerstone of building a high-performing team. With traditional methods, HR professionals spend countless hours sifting through résumés to identify potential candidates. AI-powered tools can revolutionize this process. AI algorithms use natural language processing (NLP) to scan résumés and extract relevant information. This goes beyond keyword matching and takes into account contextual understanding. For example, it can recognize synonyms or related terms for specific skills or experiences, meaning that recruiters can quickly identify candidates who possess the skills and experience required for a particular role, significantly reducing manual effort and expediting the shortlisting process.  AI can also analyze vast amounts of data on successful hires, considering factors such as educational background, work experience, performance metrics, and even cultural fit. By leveraging this historical data, AI can generate predictions about which candidates are likely to thrive in a given role. This not only helps in identifying suitable candidates but also aligns them with roles where they are more likely to excel and contribute meaningfully to the organization. 

 

Enhancing Employee Onboarding

A seamless onboarding process sets the tone for a positive employee experience and contributes to long-term retention. AI can play a pivotal role in personalizing and streamlining this phase.  By utilizing AI-driven assessments, for example, organizations can gain insight into the individual learning styles, strengths, and areas for improvement of new hires to then create customized onboarding plans. If a new employee shows a preference for visual learning, the onboarding plan may incorporate more visual materials and interactive resources, ensuring that each employee receives the specific support and training they need to quickly integrate into their new role.

In today's data-driven business landscape, the role of SAP specialists in business intelligence and reporting is critical for organizations aiming to leverage their data effectively. For context, SAP explains business intelligence (BI) as, “the processes and tools used to analyze business data, turn it into actionable insights, and help everyone in an organization make better-informed decisions.” Ultimately, SAP BI, “analyzes current and historical data and presents findings in easy-to-digest reports, dashboards, graphs, charts, and maps that can be shared across the company.”  With an extensive array of capabilities, recruiting skilled SAP specialists in business intelligence and reporting is pivotal for companies looking to optimize their SAP solutions and maximize their data-driven decision-making capabilities.   

The Importance of SAP Specialists in Business Intelligence and Reporting

SAP BI and reporting specialists play a fundamental role in unlocking the potential of an organization's data. They possess specialized skills in SAP tools like SAP BusinessObjects, SAP Business Warehouse (BW), SAP HANA, and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), among others. These experts have a comprehensive understanding of data modeling, data visualization, report generation, and performance optimization within the SAP ecosystem.  With the right SAP talent in place, businesses can see a plethora of benefits. For example, SAP specialists proficient in BI and reporting can ensure smooth data integration from various sources into SAP systems, overseeing data governance and quality as well to ensure that information is accurate and accessible for analysis. After ensuring a smooth integration, specialists can extract actionable insights from complex datasets to create meaningful reports, charts, dashboards, and visualizations that enable stakeholders to make informed decisions swiftly. Through optimization techniques and best practices, these specialists can also enhance the performance of SAP BI solutions for faster query execution and system responsiveness. Above all, the right talent will have a pulse on the latest SAP updates and technological advancements, providing innovative solutions for your organization.   

Key Skills and Qualifications to Look For

Recruiting top-notch SAP business intelligence and reporting specialists requires a keen eye for specific skills and qualifications, some of which include:   

Effective Strategies for Recruiting SAP Specialists

When recruiting SAP specialists, consider the following strategies:  
  1. Develop detailed job descriptions outlining specific SAP tools, skills, qualifications, and experience required for the role. 
  2. Leverage platforms dedicated to SAP talent acquisition like specialized job boards and professional networking sites like LinkedIn. 
  3. Attend SAP-related conferences and industry events to connect with potential candidates as engaging with SAP communities and user groups can yield valuable leads. 
  4. Offer competitive salary packages and benefits and highlight opportunities for career growth and development within the organization. 
  5. Employ behavioral and technical assessments in the interview process to evaluate candidates' problem-solving and communication skills, technical proficiency, expertise, and cultural fit within the organization. 
  6. Emphasize the company's culture and vision to attract candidates who align with the organizational ethos. 
 

Looking Ahead

Recruiting SAP specialists in business intelligence and reporting is a strategic investment for companies aiming to harness the full potential of their data with SAP. These professionals play a pivotal role in translating raw data into actionable insights, empowering businesses to make informed decisions in today's dynamic and competitive market.

Your company has decided to implement SAP S/4HANA. One of the first steps in implementing S/4HANA is to identify whether it will be a system conversion, new implementation, or selective data transition. Irrespective of the type of implementation one decides to do, you want to be sure that you have a full data conversion plan in place as part of the project. Data conversion is a major part of a successful SAP project. If you don’t start working on data cleaning and conversion early and continue that work throughout the project, it can sneak up on you and become a last-minute crisis. A well-designed and executed system will not provide the value that your company is looking for if the data loaded into it isn’t clean and accurate. Follow these five best practices for SAP S/4HANA data conversion to ensure that your data strategy is thorough and robust.    

5 BEST PRACTICES FOR AN SAP S/4HANA DATA CONVERSION

 

1. Identify Critical Master Data Objects

The first step in data conversion is to identify the critical master data objects, the sources of that data, and current and future system(s) of record for these objects. Master data includes all the data that is required to do business – customers, vendors, employees, locations, parts, products, etc.    Not only does the master data need to be identified, but it needs to be clean and accurate. We recommend using data profiling tools to analyze the quality of data and start the cleansing process. Data profiling tools will allow you to find duplication of data, missing data elements, data format consistency, wrong data, and outdated data.   

2. Determine What Transaction Data to Migrate

Next, determine what transaction data needs to be migrated. It’s critical to reduce the amount of historical data that will be moved to the new system. Migration of transactional data creates additional complexities when moving to a new system that leverages more streamlined processes. We typically recommend only migrating master data, open transactions, and G/L balances for new implementations.    

3. Create Data Archiving Strategy

You will want to find a place and process for holding and referencing your historical data. Before you migrate data to your new system, create a data archiving strategy and archive systems, message, and change logs before migration. Historical data can be archived to file systems, document management systems, or into a data warehouse while documents and attachments should be archived to a document management system. Make sure that your archiving strategy follows the audit requirements of your company and industry.     

4. Define a Data Governance Strategy

Identify key business stakeholders for each data object. These individuals will own the data object(s) and be responsible for making critical data-related decisions about those objects. You need to create a process flow for creating, maintaining, and approving master data and harmonizing data across systems. You should also explore technological options to automate and enhance the data creation, maintenance, and integration. In many cases, your business’s data migration project is the catalyst for creating a data governance strategy.    

5. Prepare a Data Migration Strategy

Data migration is a three-part process. The first part includes extracting data from the current system(s), and the second part is cleaning and transforming that data into the new SAP format. The third part involves determining the load and data validation process. It’s important to identify suitable tools for extraction, data cleansing, transformation, loading, and reconciliation for different data objects. Create a detailed plan for migration, data validation, reconciliation, load simulations, testing, and test cycles and incorporate the converted data into integration test cycles.     

ENSURING A SUCCESSFUL SAP S/4HANA DATA CONVERSION

According to one study, 66% of SAP users said data management is the major challenge when moving from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA. Data is the critical cog for an intelligent enterprise, and it starts with successfully extracting, transforming, and loading clean data.  These five steps to data migration listed above will provide your organization with an effective strategy to manage data migration projects efficiently and successfully.   For more help finding the right talent for your SAP S/4HANA data conversion, our team can help.    This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Clarkston Consulting.

SAP is a complex internal business software that helps organizations manage business operations and foster consumer relations. Being a highly sought-after software, more and more organizations are seeking experienced SAP talent, with 75% of organizations considering SAP skills vital for digital transformation initiatives. With specialized and capable SAP technology, having the right team to support it is necessary.   Ultimately, building a successful team involves finding candidates who have the technical and soft skills to develop a deep understanding of the software. For SAP to reach its full potential for your specific business, finding the right talent surrounding it is the first step. Below are considerations that may help your organization in finding talent to navigate your SAP modules:   

Key Considerations

 

Leverage Effective Recruitment Channels

Finding quality candidates means having a thorough recruitment process starting from the get-go. To attract top SAP talent, organizations must utilize a variety of networks both in-person and digitally to seek out quality candidates. This could include using websites and professional networks such as LinkedIn or Indeed to advertise the business and open roles. Additionally, it involves using industry specific groups to reach the SAP community. This could be done through LinkedIn groups and specialized forums, as well as through social networks, referrals, and references. Lastly, the best SAP talent can be accessed through recruitment agencies who specialize in IT and SAP talent.    

Use Multifaceted Screening Methods

After reaching your target SAP candidates, interviewing, and screening is the next key step to finding the right fit. SAP is complex software that requires many technical skills. As such, including a technical assessment in the interviewing process will allow candidates to showcase their advanced programming knowledge. Screening candidates for certifications and experience is also key to evaluating their capabilities. Aside from that, utilizing behavioral interviews and assessing the cultural fit of the candidate is equally important. Characteristics like adaptability, teamwork, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and more are important as you want members of your team to fit seamlessly into the organization and its dynamics.    

Invest In Continuous Learning

SAP, like many other technologies and software, is rapidly evolving, facing updates and establishing new modules. Ignoring these updates can result in outdated processes or a slowdown of development. The last thing organizations want is a team with obsolete skills, so investing in the continuous learning of SAP is necessary. To ensure that your team is up to date with the latest advancements, encourage employees to attend industry workshops or conferences and to obtain and maintain the latest SAP certifications. Additionally, utilizing in-house programs and professionals is key to keeping your team current and agile.    

Finding Talent to Navigate Your SAP modules

Finding the right SAP talent can be challenging as the software is complex and innovative; however, using the considerations above, building your team and navigating your modules can be manageable and effective. Finding the right hire includes a full cycle process from reaching the right networks to conducting a thorough interview process to managing skills as technology and platforms evolve.   Working with experts at a specialized recruitment agency like BCTG can help facilitate an easy and constructive hiring process.

Employees are increasingly prioritizing opportunities for growth and development in their careers. As more employees look to grow and progress in their professional journey, organizations must invest in strategies that support their employees' professional aspirations. After all, a 2023 report found that 75% of employees prefer to advance within their current organization. However, less than half (40%) see a clear career path and only 46% report feeling supported in their career development.   By prioritizing employee career development and advancement, businesses can foster a culture of continuous learning while increasing employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention.   In this eBook, we list just eight of the many ways organizations can support employee career development and advancement – from establishing clear career paths to recognizing and rewarding achievements.   

WAYS TO SUPPORT EMPLOYEE CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Here are eight effective ways to support and empower employees on their career journeys:  

1. Establish Clear Career Paths

Employees crave clarity and direction regarding their career trajectories. As such, establishing clear career paths within an organization not only provides employees with a sense of purpose and direction but also aligns their individual goals with the company's objectives.   Organizations can start by mapping out various career options available within the organization, highlighting the skills, experience, qualifications, and milestones required to progress along each path. Creating visual representations or career frameworks that illustrate potential advancement routes can also make it easier for employees to visualize their growth opportunities.   Furthermore, organizations must ensure that these career paths are communicated transparently to all employees, emphasizing the opportunities for advancement and the criteria for progression. In offering clear career paths, employees can take ownership of their professional development and strive for advancement within the organization.  

2. Offer Training and Development Programs

Investing in employee training and development is crucial for maintaining a skilled and adaptable workforce. Whether it's technical training to enhance job-specific skills or leadership development programs to cultivate future leaders, organizations should provide a diverse range of training programs tailored to meet the evolving needs of their employees and the demands of the industry. Leveraging a combination of in-house training sessions, external workshops, online courses, and coaching programs is another great way to cater to different learning styles and preferences.   Additionally, organizations should encourage employees to pursue certifications or advanced degrees relevant to their roles, and provide support, such as study leave, to facilitate their educational pursuits. By offering comprehensive training and development programs, organizations demonstrate their commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Since the pandemic, the popularity of remote work has grown immensely, along with hybrid work. Computer and IT positions are the most likely to engage in remote work as of 2023 due to the virtual nature of these positions. Employees in these fields are learning to adapt to the differing demands of working online, as workplace culture is historically suited for in-person collaboration.  It can be challenging to work productively and cooperatively in an online setting. Without in-person communication, it’s critical for employees and companies to set up new lines of communication and embrace the potential for reliable virtual interactions.  Below, we’ve outlined the best practices that all remote tech workplaces should put into place to maximize collaboration and productivity without having to come into the office.   

BEST PRACTICES FOR REMOTE TECH COMPANIES

 

Set clear goals and expectations

Communicating entirely online can lead to miscommunications especially if said communication is simply sent through a message. In-person communication leaves room for asking for clarification, analyzing tone of voice and body language, and oftentimes promotes active listening.  When working remotely in tech, take the extra time to have full-length conversations about goals and expectations to ensure nothing is left misunderstood or forgotten. It can be helpful to write expectations out for later reference, like by email, so it can be visited again in the future.   Clear communication ensures that employees can function as a team, alleviating pressures from confusing or challenging project objectives or other workplace difficulties. Leaving room for misinterpretation can result in a detraction from team productivity, so ensure you’re communicating clearly to avoid confusion and slowdowns.   

Embrace flexibility

In today’s remote tech world, variations in team member schedules and work styles have created a need to embrace flexibility and adapt to employee differences. A benefit to remote tech work is that teams can now be comprised of employees from different locales and time zones. While this does open the door to bringing in more qualified engineers and programmers, it can create challenges in setting up meetings and handling time-sensitive matters.  It’s critical to be flexible so that teams can collaborate effectively from different geographic locations. As a result, you’ll be more likely to access an increasingly diverse talent pool and create more innovative project teams.  Flexibility is also necessary for handling unexpected challenges. Having an adaptable schedule can allow for team members to respond to complications and confusions in a timely manner. If team members have authority over their schedules, they will be able to take time and collaboratively establish solutions and keep projects moving along the set timeline.   Providing employees with authority over their own schedules also promotes engagement in the work materials and greater accountability for project responsibilities. Basing successes off the quantity and quality of work completed rather than merely the hours spent online can create more creative, motivated employees who take ownership of their work even away from the workplace.   

Utilize user-friendly software

A key component of improving virtual communication is utilizing communication software that is optimized for the goals and needs of a team. Platforms like Slack, GitHub, and Microsoft Teams encourage real-time communication and create easy ways to quickly bounce ideas back and forth or hop on a short call.   Employees will be able to collaborate more effectively when communication is streamlined through a singular, user-friendly platform. There are a greater number of ways to provide feedback and project updates quickly, keeping project status current and all necessary project information readily available for team members.   

Engage in virtual interaction

Establishing and maintaining strong workplace relationships can be challenging without in-person conversations. Take the time to set up opportunities for virtual interaction to ensure you can clearly communicate without misunderstandings and still get to know coworkers, managers, and other members of your team.  Take advantage of online communication platforms that allow real-time, face-to-face conversations. Conversing with video encourages active listening, which can lead to increased employee engagement and stronger team relationships.  In addition, try to introduce casual conversation that goes beyond work updates and information. Taking the time to communicate about interests, family life, or other more personal topics can help you feel more connected to your team. This will boost team morale and strengthen relationships to create a more cohesive team dynamic. Groups can also incorporate virtual team building activities, such as online happy hours or competitive games, to create a more relaxed, friendly environment that extends beyond work-related conversation.   

Implement Mentorship Programs

In remote tech jobs, employees don’t have immediate access to information and solutions in the same way as in the physical workplace. Establishing a mentorship program can help all team members get up to speed by providing an opportunity for faster information transfer in the case of questions or unsolved challenges.  For new employees, acclimating to the company culture online can also be difficult without in-person interactions. Having a mentor within the team can help to communicate company norms and expectations and can also provide personalized feedback on necessary skills and project goals. Remote work can be challenging, but the creation of a mentorship program helps to connect all employees to the entire team and can encourage long term professional development and career growth.   

Maintain collaborative documentation

Working as a team to meet project goals can be especially challenging online due to challenges with documentation and project reports. With multiple employees working together on code or other deliverables online, it’s critical to promote collaborative documentation so work is not lost.  Practice strict version control so all employees are handling updated information and can collaborate on joint assignments. Version control software allows teammates to work asynchronously and make changes to code and files simultaneously, discouraging project slowdowns.   

LOOKING AHEAD

Working remotely can open the door for a more flexible, individualized lifestyle for employees, but it doesn’t come without unique challenges in communication and collaboration. By implementing the suggestions above, you can maintain an active team role and maintain your engagement in project objectives without having to physically be in the workplace.   Contact BCTG today to continue the discussion.    Contributions from Sam Weitzel

SAP is a complex system that helps organizations manage internal operations and maintain solid consumer relationships, and implementing the software can be difficult to navigate without a dedicated and talented team. Staffing agencies that focus on IT and SAP are equipped to support these implementations by seamlessly gathering talent and specialized skills for the project. These agencies are designed for efficiency, flexibility, and cost savings, helping seek out top-tier talent when it comes to building implementation teams. Below are some capabilities of staffing agencies in SAP implementations and upgrades.  

Capabilities of staffing agencies in SAP implementations and upgrades

 

Industry Knowledge 

SAP staffing agencies know the ins and outs of the SAP talent pool and market. They are knowledgeable about topics such as the availability of talent, where to look for talent, salary benchmarks, and more. Being familiar with these aspects of the market can help firms tremendously as they can make more accurate and informed hiring and budget planning decisions. If you are implementing SAP as an entirely new software in your business, partnering with a staffing expert may be the right decision as the needs of the technology are likely foreign to you. Having a staffing agency guide you through the process can expedite the project and teach you more about the industry.   

Efficiency and Productivity 

Staffing experts' sole responsibility is to support your firm by helping efficiently and accurately with your staffing needs. By hiring outside experts, their professionals can remove the hassle and cost of building a new team in-house. The sourcing, screening, and interview process can be time-consuming and expensive, especially if you are new to the industry. In fact, in the SAP industry, the cost of a new hire is estimated at $4,700. Your organization may struggle with knowing where to look for SAP candidates and how to correctly assess them on SAP knowledge and skills as well. These professionals know top SAP talent and their job is to seamlessly assimilate them into your organization, cutting costs and cutting out any inefficiencies in the recruitment process.    

Flexibility and Adaptability 

The goal of staffing agencies is to meet the demand of your staffing needs - whatever that may entail. In some cases, implementing SAP software may only require the assistance of temporary employees, while in other cases, it may require bringing on a full-time hire to manage and update the system. Either way, staffing agencies have the capabilities for on-demand talent, meaning the needs of the project requirements are readily met. This also allows for adaptability, as needs can often change mid-project or staffing could be contingent on current needs. Staffing firms are adaptable and ready for any challenge, which makes them a great option when preparing your business for an SAP implementation.   

Looking Ahead 

If your organization has plans to implement or upgrade SAP software, consider contacting SAP staffing experts to help build your team. SAP software is complex and can be difficult to navigate, so having the right team to ease into a new transition is vital.   Staffing agencies are adaptable and determined to meet your firm's needs efficiently.  As such, if your organization is curious about implementing or upgrading SAP, contacting a staffing agency could be a cost- and time-effective strategy.   For more information and guidance from staffing agencies in SAP implementations and upgrades, reach out to experts at BCTG for support.     Contributions from Leah Harding
Although being asked why you want to work at a company appears straightforward, there are often specific points that can set a candidate apart. The best responses will demonstrate knowledge, research, and highlight yourself in unique ways. While this question isn’t likely to make or break an interview, it can be a great distinguishing factor. In this piece, we highlight strategies on how to answer “Why Do You Want to Work Here?”  

STRATEGIES ON HOW TO ANSWER “WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK HERE?”

 

Research the Company

It's crucial for candidates to be familiar with both general and niche information about the company they’re interviewing for. While candidates don’t need to know every minute detail, they should generally understand its industries, mission, values, and recent news, and this should go beyond scrolling through the company’s website. This can include reading recent media coverage of the company as well, so as to be familiar with policy and direction, or skimming recent press releases. Research can also include speaking with current or past employees to gain deeper knowledge of day-to-day life.  

Craft Anecdotes

With knowledge of the company in mind, candidates can think of times when they demonstrated ‘alignment.’ For example, if a company highly values integrity, candidates can mention this and include a story about a time they acted with integrity. By aligning oneself with company values or knowledge, candidates can appear to be a better fit for the role. Doing so anecdotally creates memorable answers which are far more likely to stick with an interviewer.  

Avoid Generic Responses

Candidates should avoid clichés that may be given by other interviewees. For example, a response which simply details the company’s pay or prestige is likely unoriginal and inauthentic. Instead, tie deeper reasonings to yourself either anecdotally, as mentioned above, or by sharing personal motivations for why the company’s attributes matter. This may look like explaining how you care about the philanthropic work that a company does and why you would like to be a part of it. By crafting a highly personalized response, you differentiate yourself from other candidates and become more memorable.  

Don’t Spell Out Your Résumé

There are likely other interview questions like, “Tell me about yourself” or “Share a time when…” that serve the purpose of touting your accomplishments. As such, this question serves instead for you to demonstrate your commitment to joining the company through prior research and how you would fit in well. While past experiences may come up as you connect yourself to the company anecdotally, this should not be your purpose in answering the question. It’s important to note, however, that candidates should not shy away from sharing what makes them special. Any answer that includes a past accomplishment shouldn’t diminish it, but instead explain why it’s relevant and helpful to you joining the company.  

Be Specific

While this blends into the aforementioned strategies, it’s important enough to be stated explicitly. Specificity distinguishes your research, values, and reasonings from other candidates. Most interviewers would be bored by every candidate talking about the same values and initiatives. Consequently, find niche projects, teams, or aspects of the company that especially appeal to you. Bringing these up, and how you’re a great fit for them, is more interesting and demonstrates true dedication to learning about the company.  

PREPARING FOR YOUR NEXT INTERVIEW

Candidates should remember that one behavioral question isn’t the decisive factor in an interview. Instead, it’s the broader narrative that’s crafted around yourself. Regardless, strategically answering "Why do you want to work here?" can be a great distinguishing factor. A good answer requires a combination of research, authenticity, and strategic storytelling in which you connect yourself to the company. As an exercise, try to place yourself in the shoes of the interviewer and think about what would leave a memorable and positive impression.

With the help of technology, retailers now have more readily available access to a wealth of data about their customers that they can leverage to make informed decisions and drive business growth. One revolutionary solution that is helping retailers do just that is SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR).   SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR) is a component of the SAP HANA platform that enables retailers to capture, process, and analyze customer transaction data in real time. At its core, SAP CAR serves as a centralized repository for all customer-related data and activities, consolidating information from various touchpoints such as point-of-sale (POS) systems, online channels, mobile devices, and social media platforms. However, to truly unlock the potential of SAP CAR, retailers must have the right SAP CAR talent in place.   

THE IMPORTANCE OF TALENT

While SAP CAR offers powerful capabilities, its successful implementation and utilization require more than just the software. Having the right talent with the necessary skills and expertise is critical.   First and foremost, SAP CAR is a complex platform that requires technical expertise for implementation and maintenance. At its core, SAP CAR is all about data analytics. As such, retailers need skilled professionals with knowledge of SAP technologies, data integration, database management, data analysis, statistical modeling, and interpretation to ensure the smooth functioning of SAP CAR.   Data analysts are also essential in deriving meaningful insights from the vast amount of data generated by SAP CAR, as these insights drive strategic decisions related to inventory management, pricing, promotions, customer engagement, and more. Remember, while this technology can help to sort and analyze vast amounts of data, skilled professionals are needed to help execute and act on those insights.  While technical skills are important, understanding the retail business landscape is equally crucial. Professionals with a deep understanding of retail operations, industry trends, customer behavior, and so on can effectively translate data insights into actionable strategies. These professionals are also essential for smooth adoption and integration of SAP CAR as they can communicate the benefits and address any potential resistance to change, particularly as they stay mindful and aware of the dynamic retail landscape.   

KEY ROLES IN AN SAP CAR IMPLEMENTATION

To leverage SAP CAR effectively, retailers need to have the right talent in key roles. These roles include:   

SAP CAR Consultant

An SAP CAR consultant typically helps in configuring and customizing the solution according to the specific requirements of the retailer. As such, these consultants should have a deep understanding of SAP technologies, specifically those in the retail industry, along with industry best practices and data integration techniques.   

Data Analyst/Data Scientist

Data analysts and data scientists play a crucial role in extracting insights from the data collected by SAP CAR. They are responsible for data cleansing, analysis, visualization, and interpretation to identify trends, patterns, bottlenecks, or opportunities for optimization.   

Business Analyst

Business analysts bridge the gap between technical and business teams, translating business requirements into technical specifications for an SAP CAR implementation. They also work closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and ensure that SAP CAR aligns with business objectives.   

Change Management Specialist

Change management specialists focus on ensuring smooth adoption and integration of SAP CAR within the organization. They develop communication plans, relay business benefits, conduct training sessions, and address any resistance to change to facilitate a successful implementation.   

BUILDING THE RIGHT TALENT PIPELINE

Building a team with the right talent for SAP CAR implementation requires a strategic approach. Below, we outline four steps to take when building your SAP CAR talent pipeline:  1. Assess Current Skill Gaps: Start by assessing the existing skill sets within your organization and identifying any gaps that need to be filled. This could involve conducting skills assessments or seeking input from team members and stakeholders.  2. Invest in Training and Development: Provide training and development opportunities to existing staff to enhance their skills in SAP CAR. This could include formal training programs, workshops, webinars, or certifications.  3. Recruit Specialized Talent: Depending on the specific needs of your organization, consider recruiting specialized talent with experience in SAP CAR implementation. Look for candidates with a proven track record of success in similar roles.  4. Foster Collaboration: Encourage collaboration and cross-functional teamwork between technical, business, and operational teams involved in the SAP CAR implementation. This helps ensure alignment of goals and shared ownership of project success.   

FINDING SAP CAR TALENT WITH BCTG

SAP CAR holds immense potential for retailers seeking to gain deeper insights into customer behavior through data. However, realizing this potential requires more than just deploying the software. It requires the right talent with a combination of technical skills, expertise, business acumen, and change management know-how. By investing in building and nurturing a team with the right talent, retailers can maximize the benefits of an SAP CAR implementation.  For help finding your SAP CAR talent, contact BCTG today. 
In a job market where talent acquisition is both an art and a science, staffing and recruiting firms have become indispensable partners for businesses seeking to attract top talent. These firms bring a plethora of benefits to the table, one of the most significant being their extensive networks. Below, we explore the advantages that stem from leveraging the expansive staffing and recruiting firm networks.   

UNDERSTANDING STAFFING AND RECRUITING FIRM NETWORKS

Staffing and recruiting firms cast wide nets to identify and engage with diverse talent across various industries and job roles. Their networks encompass candidates with a broad range of skills, experiences, expertise, and backgrounds. This diversity enriches the talent pool available to businesses, enabling them to find candidates who not only possess the required qualifications but also bring unique perspectives and insights to the table. This passive talent, often referred to as the "hidden job market," can be a goldmine for organizations looking to fill key positions with exceptional candidates who aren't readily accessible through traditional recruitment channels.  Furthermore, many staffing and recruiting firms specialize in specific industries, like SAP and IT, or job functions. As a result, they develop deep expertise and insights into their respective domains, including knowledge of market trends and in-demand skills. These firms can effectively identify candidates with the skills and experience required to thrive in niche roles, ensuring a better fit between candidates and positions. Whether it's technology, healthcare, finance, or any other industry, specialized staffing firms can offer invaluable guidance and support.   

BENEFITS OF THESE EXTENSIVE NETWORKS

 

Faster Time-to-Hire

Time is of the essence when it comes to hiring top talent, and instead of starting from scratch with each new job opening, staffing and recruiting firms can quickly tap into their existing talent pools and network connections to identify qualified candidates. They can leverage pre-existing connections to reach out to potential, suitable candidates and facilitate the interview and selection process swiftly. As a result, businesses can reduce their time-to-hire, ensuring that critical positions are filled promptly without sacrificing quality.    

Scalability and Flexibility

Organizations often need to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, which may necessitate scaling their workforce up or down rapidly. With extensive networks, staffing firms can source temporary, contract, contingent, or project-based professionals to meet short-term staffing needs. Whether it's filling gaps during peak seasons or covering for extended employee absences, businesses can rely on staffing firms to deliver qualified candidates on demand.  Additionally, staffing firms can assist with long-term workforce planning by identifying candidates for permanent positions who possess the skills and attributes needed to drive organizational growth and success.   

Mitigating Risks

Hiring the wrong candidate can be a costly mistake for businesses. Luckily, staffing and recruiting firms help mitigate these risks by leveraging their networks to identify candidates who are not only qualified from a technical or skill perspective but who also align well with the company's culture and values.  Through comprehensive screening processes, including interviews and reference checks, staffing firms ensure that candidates meet the employer's criteria and possess the necessary qualifications and cultural attributes. This thorough vetting process minimizes the likelihood of mismatches and increases the probability of long-term employee retention.   

Geographic Reach

For businesses with multiple locations or those seeking to expand into new markets, staffing and recruiting firms with extensive networks offer a valuable advantage. These firms often have a presence in various regions, allowing them to tap into local talent pools and provide insights into regional labor markets.  Staffing firms can also help businesses navigate cultural nuances, regulatory requirements, and other factors that may impact recruitment and hiring processes in different locations. This ensures that organizations can build diverse and effective teams across their operations, regardless of geographical boundaries.   

Industry Connections and Insights

Staffing and recruiting firms are deeply embedded within their respective industries, forging relationships with both employers and candidates over time. This connectivity provides access to valuable industry insights, including emerging trends, competitive intelligence, best practices in talent acquisition and retention, and more.  By partnering with staffing firms that specialize in their industry, businesses can gain a competitive edge by staying informed about market developments and benchmarking their recruitment strategies against industry peers. Additionally, staffing firms can serve as trusted advisors, offering strategic guidance on relevant initiatives tailored to the specific needs of the industry and, ultimately, helping to ensure businesses get the best fit candidate for that role.   

Brand Enhancement

Employer branding plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining top talent, and staffing and recruiting firms can help enhance their clients' employer brand by representing them positively to candidates in the market.  Through effective communication and relationship-building, staffing firms convey the unique value proposition of their clients as employers of choice. They can highlight factors such as career development opportunities (which are extremely sought after in today’s candidate market) and employee benefits to attract candidates who align with the organization's values and aspirations.  Moreover, by providing a positive candidate experience throughout the recruitment process, staffing firms contribute to building a favorable reputation for their clients, which can have long-term benefits in terms of talent acquisition and retention.   

PARTNERING WITH BCTG

From accessing diverse talent pools and accelerating the hiring process to gaining industry insights and enhancing employer branding, partnering with staffing firms can yield tangible advantages for businesses seeking to optimize their workforce. By leveraging the power of these staffing and recruiting firm networks and forging collaborative partnerships, organizations can position themselves for sustained growth.  Contact our experts to learn more about working with BCTG for your SAP, IT, or AI staffing and recruiting needs. 
Last week, our peers attended the SAP Sapphire & ASUG Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, where they gathered with industry leaders to discuss the latest SAP developments. They reported on conversations about the industry's growing investment in software and the necessity for strong change management practices. Attendees were also among the first to hear exciting announcements from SAP, including new integration capabilities for its copilot Joule and the acquisition of the digital adoption platform WalkMe. Below, we outline three key takeaways from SAP Sapphire 2024.   

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

1. INVESTMENTS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: JOULE

SAP announced highly anticipated news around expanded integration capabilities for Joule, its “natural-language, generative AI copilot.” Currently, Joule is integrated in both cloud editions of S/4HANA, but it’s planned to be available in SAP Ariba, SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), and multiple supply chain management solutions from SAP in the second half of this year.  There are a few particularly impactful use cases for Joule. For finance teams, SAP Fiori applications now benefit from Joule-enabled insights, with the copilot able to summarize available data and produce visual data narratives in a quick, efficient manner. Further, for human resources teams, employees can use Joule to get answers to natural-language questions about their organization’s HR policy documents in SAP SuccessFactors.  As with any new technology – and especially AI – we advise businesses to remember that the tools here will only be as good as the data upon which they rely. As these AI copilots are adopted, firms should work to ensure they approach AI with strategic intent and also have a mature data governance strategy in place.  

2. TOOLS TO SUPPORT THE CLEAN CORE STRATEGY

SAP's "clean core strategy" is an approach that emphasizes keeping the core enterprise resource planning (ERP) system as close to the standard, out-of-the-box version as possible, while minimizing customizations and modifications. At Sapphire, SAP announced a few new tools to support this clean core strategy.  As firms begin their S/4HANA journey, leveraging these tools can play a role in helping reduce time value on the transformation.    

3. LEVERAGING BTP TO SUPPORT THE CLEAN CORE STRATEGY

SAP unveiled new diagrams and reference architectures for solutions developed using SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). The updates are designed to accelerate implementation project timelines, help customers optimize operations, and streamline integration processes for businesses using SAP applications.  SAP BTP is integral to the clean core strategy, allowing customizations to be made as extensions rather than modifications to the core ERP system. This approach facilitates continuous updates and innovation without disrupting core functionalities. Ultimately, leveraging BTP and adhering to the clean core strategy can reduce the complexity of the support landscape and better position the solution for future updates.   

LOOKING AHEAD

SAP, like many enterprise software providers, is choosing to emphasize the power of AI when partnered with its platform. Whether this bet pays off for SAP will ultimately be decided by the utility that its customers see in these new tools and the innovative ways that customers opt to take advantage of them.  To chat more about these takeaways, connect with our team today.    This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Clarkston Consulting.

Mid-size consulting firms serve as indispensable guides, offering specialized services and strategic counsel to organizations across diverse industries – from retail to wholesale distribution. Amidst their pursuit of excellence and innovation, these firms must recognize the profound significance of diversity and inclusion in shaping their trajectory. When taking steps towards improving diversity and inclusion within your firm, you must begin at the heart: your people.  Below, we explore the multifaceted role of diversity and inclusion in staffing for mid-size consulting firms and how it ultimately can lead to organizational success.   

THE ROLE OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN STAFFING

 

Innovation and Creativity

Diversity in staffing brings together individuals with a rich tapestry of backgrounds, experiences, beliefs, values, and perspectives, and this mosaic of thought cultivates an environment primed for innovation and creativity within consulting teams. When employees are empowered to voice their ideas freely, they contribute fresh insights and novel approaches to problem-solving, thereby fortifying the firm's capacity to deliver robust solutions to clients. Inclusion ensures that these diverse voices are not only acknowledged but cherished, fostering an atmosphere where every team member feels inspired.   

Client Relationships

Clients entrust consulting firms with understanding their intricate and varied needs. By assembling teams that mirror the diversity of their clientele, mid-size consulting firms can forge deeper connections on personal and cultural levels. This alignment fosters trust and rapport, ultimately bolstering client relationships and elevating satisfaction levels. Inclusive teams can better navigate nuanced cultural landscapes, facilitating more effective communication and collaboration with clients from diverse backgrounds.   

Top Talent

In a competitive talent landscape, exceptional candidates seek employers who champion diversity and inclusion. Mid-size consulting firms that prioritize these values not only attract a wider pool of applicants but also cultivate stronger employee retention rates. After all, employees gravitate towards organizations where they feel valued, respected, and supported, with a CNBC survey finding that 80% of respondents want to work for a company that values diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) efforts. A commitment to DEI signals to potential hires that they will encounter equal opportunities for growth and advancement, irrespective of their background.   

Fairness

Unchecked biases can taint decision-making processes, perpetuating unfair treatment and impeding progress. Through the implementation of inclusive hiring practices and the promotion of diversity at all echelons, mid-size consulting firms can mitigate bias and promote fairness in their staffing endeavors. This fosters an environment of equal opportunity and nurtures a workplace culture where meritocracy flourishes.   

Brand Reputation

A commitment to diversity and inclusion not only enriches internal dynamics but also enhances the external perception of organizations. Clients, partners, employees, and stakeholders increasingly scrutinize organizations' diversity initiatives, holding them accountable for their actions. Firms that prioritize diversity and inclusion underscore their values and dedication to social responsibility, thereby fortifying their brand reputation and positioning themselves as progressive leaders within their industry.   

PARTNERING WITH BCTG

Diversity and inclusion in staffing serves as a foundational pillar of success for mid-size consulting firms. After all, research consistently underscores the relationship between diversity and performance. Companies with highly diverse teams see a 2.5x higher cash flow per employee, while companies in the top quartile for ethnic diversity on executive teams are 27% more likely to outperform competitors.  For firms looking for help with their staffing processes, leveraging partnerships with staffing firms can significantly bolster diversity and inclusion efforts. These collaborations offer access to expansive talent networks and specialized expertise in diversity recruitment. By working closely with a staffing partner, consulting firms can not only attract diverse talent but also promote inclusive work environments through tailored guidance and support.  Learn more about working with BCTG for your talent needs here.

In today’s increasingly digital world, there is a continually growing demand for SAP consultants who can manage SAP solutions and successfully integrate and maintain them within different businesses. Navigating an interview for an SAP consultant position requires more than just technical expertise. Stand out candidates will be able to showcase their technical knowledge alongside their interpersonal skills to show how they would be an asset to the company. We’ve outlined some of the most common interview questions for SAP consultants below.   

Common Interview Questions

 

1. Can you tell me about your last implementation project? 

In an SAP consultant interview, companies will often opt for more open-ended questions, giving you space to talk about your recent projects and have an open discussion. Be prepared to explain your implementation strategies and their associated challenges and compare your project experiences. You might want to dive into how you customized SAP solutions for a particular client, and it can be useful to highlight challenges you faced and the creative solutions you developed to address them. Showcasing your ability to adapt to individual project needs and complete a successful implementation can set you apart from other candidates.  For example, you may respond: "In my last project, I collaborated with my team to implement SAP solutions like SAP EWM for a manufacturing company looking to streamline their internal operations. Our strategy involved identifying weak points in their business process, so we created solutions that could address them and integrate cohesively with existing systems. We faced challenges with data migration between systems, but after establishing a data standardization process, we were able to successfully implement SAP solutions personalized to our client’s needs.”   

2. What strategic advantages do ERP systems provide and how do you utilize them to encourage organizational transformation?  

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems help to manage company resources, and expertise in these systems are essential for a stand-out SAP consultant to have. Pursuing an SAP certification can be an effective way to certifiably demonstrate your expertise with the ERP systems, and if you do not have an SAP certification, still being able to identify and navigate ERP systems and other big picture items of the SAP world can still set you apart as an SAP consultant.  For example, you may respond: “ERP systems present strategic advantages such as enhancing data analytics and encouraging interdepartmental collaboration. I leverage ERP systems as an SAP consultant to optimize a client’s operational processes and encourage more efficient management, helping companies adapt more effectively to market changes. I have earned a certificate in SAP S/4HANA specifically and have expertise in customizing this solution for each client.”   

3. What experience do you have with different SAP solutions and services? 

To stand out as an experienced SAP consultant, you should be familiar with the different SAP solutions and bring a variety of technical skills to the interview table. Be prepared to discuss your knowledge and work with in-demand SAP solutions, such as SAP S/4HANA and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). Demonstrating your technical knowledge of these different platforms – especially those that are niche - will show you have the experience to be a well-rounded, valuable SAP consultant.  For example, you may respond: “I’ve had the opportunity to work with a variety of SAP solutions and have gained expertise in identifying the right solutions for each client’s needs and goals. I’ve completed projects with S/4HANA, CRM, and SCM helping to streamline client processes and improve customer relationships. These experiences have given me a solid understanding of how each SAP solution can enhance different companies.”   

4. Could you provide an example of how you’ve contributed positively to the culture of a previous workplace? 

Outside of technical knowledge, assessing your cultural fit within a company is essential for the hiring team to determine if you should fill the open position. Recruiters will look to see if you can adapt to a new workplace environment and culture. As such, clearly communicating your values and priorities is essential for determining if the position you’re interviewing for is right for you.  For example, you may respond: “In my last position, I understood the importance of continuous skill development for success in the SAP field and I organized monthly workshops where team members could share knowledge and brainstorm new ways to improve the implementation process for individual clients. This created an open, collaborative culture for our team and helped all members to stay on top of new skills and developments in the SAP landscape.”   

5. How do you evaluate the needs of your client to ensure a smooth, accurate SAP transition? 

Recruiters need to know how you handle client interactions in the role of SAP consultant. Not only does this show technical knowledge of how you adapt solutions for individual client needs, but it also can showcase your communication and team-management skills. Expert consultants will understand that each client has different needs based on their size, industry, and other differing factors. By also prioritizing soft skills in your interview, recruiters will get a sense of how you would represent the company if you were to take on the position. It’s critical to provide a specific example of a client evaluation you have completed in the past to fully illustrate your experience with solution personalization.  For example, you may respond: “In my previous position, I worked to individually customize SAP implementation plans for each client’s needs and goals. For example, one of my recent projects was with a multinational company, and understanding their need for solutions that work in a variety of regions was essential for creating a tailored SAP implementation plan leveraging SAP BTP.”   

Final Thoughts 

In the growing world of SAP solutions, SAP consultants must be prepared to handle technical and behavioral interview questions to be standout candidates in the job market. From answering about previous project experience to how you navigate client interactions, being prepared for any type of interview question can present you with a significant hiring advantage. These questions are only some examples of what you may see in your SAP consultant interview.  To learn more about how to prepare for SAP consultant interviews, speak with our team at BCTG today.    Contributions from Sam Weitzel

In the modern business landscape, the value of inclusivity in staffing and recruiting cannot be overstated, and companies across the globe are increasingly realizing its importance. In fact, global spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-related efforts is projected to reach $15.4 billion by 2026, while US companies alone spend roughly $8 billion each year on DEI training.   Inclusivity in staffing is not merely about meeting diversity quotas or checking boxes; it's about building stronger teams, fostering innovation and diversity of thought, and creating a workplace culture that thrives on the unique perspectives and experiences of every individual.  In this eBook, we dive into why organizations need to focus on inclusivity in staffing and recruiting, exploring its benefits for both organizations and employees alike.   

UNDERSTANDING WHY INCLUSIVITY IN STAFFING AND RECRUITING MATTERS

Inclusivity is a strategic imperative for businesses seeking sustainable growth and success. Research consistently shows that diverse teams outperform homogeneous ones in terms of creativity, problem-solving, innovation, and overall performance. Companies with highly diverse teams see a 2.5x higher cash flow per employee, while companies in the top quartile for ethnic diversity on executive teams are 27% more likely to outperform competitors. When individuals from different backgrounds, demographics, cultures, and experiences come together, they bring a range of perspectives and insights that lead to more robust decision-making and innovation.  Moreover, inclusivity is crucial for attracting and retaining top talent. In today's competitive job market, employees are increasingly drawn to organizations that prioritize diversity and inclusion, with a CNBC survey finding that 80% of respondents want to work for a company that values DEI efforts. A company's commitment to fostering a welcoming and equitable environment not only enhances its employer brand but also serves as a magnet for skilled professionals seeking opportunities for growth and advancement.

As the world gradually emerges from the grips of the pandemic and its impacts, many professionals are being called back for a return to the office after an extended period of remote work. This transition comes with its own set of challenges, particularly in navigating office etiquette in this new landscape. Regardless of whether someone is returning as a seasoned employee or a new hire in the workplace, understanding and respecting office etiquette is essential for fostering a healthy work environment. Below, we highlight some useful tips for office etiquette to ensure you return to the office in a positive and productive manner.     

Tips for Office Etiquette

 

Remain Flexible and Adaptable 

Navigating the transition back to the office will surely present unique challenges, some the same as before Covid and others yet to be revealed. The most important part of this transition is to remain flexible and adaptable, being a problem-solver when needed. Though things may not be exactly how they were before, the focus should be on embracing change with a positive attitude and being open to new ways of working and collaborating with your colleagues.   

Be Punctual

Being punctual is a fundamental aspect of office etiquette. This comes in the form of arriving on time for meetings, especially when in person, hitting deadlines, and fulfilling other daily tasks. Completing these tasks punctually and consistently sets a positive tone and demonstrates respect for your colleagues’ time. Lastly, it’s valuable to account for the added time spent commuting to work from home, striving to arrive early whenever possible for optimal impression.   

Respect Personal Space and Noise Level

A return to the physical office means the reintroduction of shared workspaces. It’s essential to respect the personal space of other employees and to maintain appropriate physical distance, especially during more focused, working hours. Another part of returning to a physical office space is that noise can quickly become a distraction. Even back in person, virtual meetings and phone calls can and will remain common occurrences in daily work. If taking a meeting or call, be mindful of your volume level, minimize disruptions around you, and look for a designated quiet space to join. With this, be sure to understand and respect the boundaries set forth by your company on both personal space and noise level. Abiding by these recommendations will show consideration for the office space and other employees.   

Maintain Professional Communication

Effective team communication is key to success in any workplace. When interacting with colleagues, whether in person or via digital channels, maintain a professional tone and choice of language. Whether it’s online communication like emails or an in-person weekly team check-in, remain concise and to the point, respecting the time of your colleagues and demonstrating a level of reliability and accountability.     

Show Appreciation

Lastly, an important part of a strong office culture is the ability to show appreciation for the effort and contributions of your colleagues. A simple expression of gratitude goes a long way in fostering a positive and supportive work environment, and these acts will surely be reciprocated. In a similar light, be open to honesty and willing to lend a helping hand – doing so will foster an inclusive workplace that encourages diverse perspectives. As a final thought, be mindful of the fact that returning to the office will be an adjustment for everyone, so take each day as it comes, giving yourself and others grace where needed.    

Final Remarks

Conscious attention to office etiquette is essential for success in the modern workplace, especially as companies nationwide return to the office after a prolonged period away. By following the recommended guidelines, office spaces will be filled with employees displaying professionalism, respect, and consideration, creating a more collaborative, positive, and productive work environment.   If you’re looking for on-site talent for your transition back to the office, contact BCTG today.    Contributions from Aaron Messer
It’s no longer enough for IT teams to rely on technical skills alone. To stay ahead of competitors, IT teams need to find competitive advantages even if rivals are leveraging the same technology. This is where soft skills come in. A recent survey even indicated that 89% of hiring managers attributed the failure of a new hire to a lack critical soft skills.  In this piece, we break down how soft skills can enhance your IT team’s performance and which skills are the most important.   

How Can Soft Skills Enhance Your IT Team?

Soft skills act as the cement holding together individual technical skills within a team. The productivity of a team, especially in IT, often depends upon collaboration. Consequently, a team that is technically capable but lacks soft skills may be more liable for delays, frustrations, and roadblocks. For example, a team member who is unable to effectively communicate an idea can significantly impede progress, even if they themselves fully understand it.  As a result, effective communication is one of the most vital soft skills for individuals in a technical field as the ability to clearly and concisely communicate allows teams to function more efficiently. Additionally, IT professionals often work with clients or coworkers that lack deep knowledge of their field, and thus, must be able to articulate complicated concepts in layman's terms or risk a potential disconnect.   Soft skills can also bridge gaps for those with a smaller or less-funded IT team. For firms that lack the resources of their larger competitors, the ability to communicate, work together, and be creative can make strides that even larger firms cannot. This also goes hand-in-hand with the need for adaptability in today’s competitive landscape; Smaller firms may not be able to constantly reinvest or update technology and so they often require IT teams with a strong aptitude to adapt.   Essentially, the ability to quickly learn new tools and methodologies can create a first-mover advantage regardless of firm resources. Additionally, adaptable IT teams are often more resilient to challenges and setbacks. This means that in the event of a disruption, deadlines are more likely to be met and the team can effectively learn from its mistakes.  Finally, conflict resolution is essential for IT teams because it enables productive adjustment. Disagreements are inherently a part of technical work, but the best teams are able to address divergent viewpoints constructively and improve as a result. Positive conflict resolution within an IT team also bolsters collaboration and productivity as team members witness supportive reception to ideas. Perhaps more importantly, mistakes are more likely to get caught as team members feel safer sharing their perspectives.    

Conclusion

Ultimately, soft skills within IT teams are not simply advantageous, but are essential for success in today's competitive landscape. Effective communication, adaptability, and conflict resolution are just some of the soft skills which are vital to an efficient and positive work environment. It’s important, however, to remember that soft skills can always be improved on the job, especially if it’s encouraged and prioritized by leadership.    Looking to enhance your IT team with top talent?

The timeline for learning how to code online hinges on many aspects. Your level of prior knowledge in programming, what specialization you are considering, and what your specific talents and learning goals are can all be significant factors when mapping out your timeline. There are also several pathways for learning to code; You can learn to code while earning your traditional bachelor's degree, by enrolling in a coding bootcamp, or by just investing the time to learn on your own.   It is important to consider that learning to code online relies heavily on your schedule and individualized pace of learning. However, there is a rough outline you can follow as to when to expect to finish certain training. If you are considering a career in programming or learning to code online, here is a tentative plan of what to expect:   

STARTING A CAREER IN PROGRAMMING

 

Step 1: Beginner Level

Being new to programming means mastering the fundamentals. Learning to write simple code allows you to build more complex code in the future. Expect the timeline for familiarizing yourself with basic software and simple languages to be about two to six months. During this level of training, you may work with languages such as Python, HTML, or JavaScript. However, the time it takes to learn to program may vary depending on the language you choose to focus on. For example, HTML is typically easier to learn than Java. If you are learning to code through a bootcamp, the program will likely articulate goals and timelines making beginner's steps easy to process and visualize.     

Step 2: Intermediate and Advanced Level

Complete proficiency of software takes time and consistent practice in overcoming programming challenges. Programming is often done independently, so working alone while managing and mitigating potential conflicts is critical to success. Doing so requires a deep understanding of the software and how it functions. This familiarity is gained from experience, and continuous practice with learning to code online may take up to a year. However, some people choose to take a university route, earning a bachelor's in computer science (four years) or participating in a master's program (two years).   

Step 3: Continuous Learning

Technically, you never quite finish learning how to program. Programming, along with any other tech career, relies on staying up to date with the newest technologies and tools. It is a field that is constantly evolving. So, even if you finish with your bootcamp in 4 months, expect to continue to learn new methods, languages, and software throughout your career. Staying up to date is critical in tech for career growth, knowing relevant industry skills and trends, and standing out as an excellent candidate and employee.     

REMEMBER: LEARNING IS SUBJECTIVE

The process of learning to program online is going to be unique to everyone. Some people may like computers and technology, making learning to program easier and faster. It also all depends on what specialization of languages and software platforms a programmer might want to learn. It’s also important to consider what path of education to take as they all have vastly different timelines, as going to university typically takes more time than taking an online programming course. The goals, skills, and time management of the student shape the timeline of learning to program.   

LOOKING AHEAD

If you are considering a career in programming, it is important to know what options are available and what those expectations are. Learning to code online can be a quick, accessible, and affordable way to jumpstart your programming career.   If you’re ready to get started with your career in programming, join BCTG’s network of expert tech consultants today.    Contributions from Leah Harding 
Diversity, equity, and inclusion has been gaining a lot of traction both socially and politically. Many industries are now focusing on DE+I initiatives to keep up with these trends. The consumer healthcare industry is no exception.  Recently, consumer healthcare companies have made small steps towards improving their DE+I culture. For example, Band-Aid aimed to increase racial diversity in their product by launching bandages that ranged in skin tone. However, this is just the first step. To continue the effort and make meaningful change, consumer healthcare companies will need to think deeper. Below, we explore how your organization can support DE+I in consumer healthcare with the help of technological advancements.

There are many disparities that exist in the consumer healthcare space. These disparities range across many different areas. Below we list a few:    

Workforce

Within the consumer healthcare industry, all minority populations combined make up less than 40% of the workforce. Additionally, 64% of minority and 47% of white respondents stated that they do not believe their own management teams reflect the diversity of the patients they serve. The number of minority workers are likely to continue declining, especially as consumer healthcare companies are hyper focusing on automation. According to The Brookings Institution, Black and Latino workers are employed at jobs that are at high risk of being automated. The lack of representation in the workforce is harmful down the line as there are less people considering and advocating for the needs of minority groups, which impacts research and development.    

Research

Medical and market research done by consumer healthcare companies is needed to understand potential customers. However, within this research, there is not equitable representation. According to the Coalition to Eliminate Disparities and to Research Inclusion in Clinical Trials, African Americans represent 12% of the U.S. population and Hispanics represent 16% of the population, but they only represent 5% and 1% of clinical trial populations, respectively. People respond to medicine differently depending on age, sex, race, disability, neurodiversity, and other factors. Therefore, research must be representative of entire populations so scientists can understand the potential effects of the medicine or product for all types of patients.    

Treatment

Diverse groups of people may experience different symptoms or conditions when they have the same illness or disease. As a result of non-representative sample groups in research, minorities may rely on diagnoses and recommendations made for predominantly white patients. For example, they may benefit from taking a higher or lower dose than the recommended amount. Overall, this means that minorities may have less treatment options or worse – invalid treatment options.    

How Technological Advancements Can Help

While the DE+I concerns listed above may seem daunting to tackle, the consumer healthcare industry may be able to rely on technological innovation to help.    

Analytics

During the quarantine period of the pandemic, people got more comfortable sharing personal information online. This is especially true in healthcare as people searched for ways to address their health needs outside of hospitals and doctor’s offices. Additionally, many consumer healthcare companies are releasing wearables and medical devices, which collect real time data about their users. Consumer healthcare companies can take advantage of this new pool of data to perform analytics. Using the data supplied by a wide range of consumers themselves can help companies use analytics in new product development. The end goal is to create new products that better address the needs of a larger, more representative group of people.    

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is being applied to many different industries, and in the consumer healthcare industry, companies may be able to use this tool to provide more personalized care. AI can use a customer’s personal profile to help identify specific treatment options that may work best for their personal history. For example, AI can be used to create a tool that can help people determine the right dosage of OTC medicine based on information that aligns with their personal profile (race, age, gender, medical history, etc.).   

Talent Acquisition

DE+I technology providers are extremely focused on helping human resource departments with talent acquisition. In fact, according to RedThread research, 43% of the DE+I technology providers were focusing on talent and acquisition. These technologies help employers access a more diverse pool of candidates not only in terms of background, but also talent. They also reduce bias in the decision-making process by matching candidates to job descriptions and developing blind resumes, profiles, and assessments.

In the IT staffing and recruiting industry, the process of interviewing SAP candidates is a critical part of sourcing and screening the talent needed to fill roles for SAP implementations, customization, and oversight. Curating effective interview techniques and asking the right questions not only plays a key role in identifying top talent in this specialized field, but it also ensures the best opportunity to match the right candidate for the role, along with your firm and culture. Below, we include recommended techniques and questions for interviewing SAP candidates.   

Interview Techniques

 

Ask Open-Ended Questions

By asking open-ended questions, candidates are encouraged to provide a detailed response how they see fit. This allows the candidate to demonstrate the depths of their knowledge and experience with SAP. In a similar light, it provides an opportunity for the candidate to express their thought process and allow their true personality to come through. When asking these questions, provide ample time for the candidate to respond without rushing them to finish answering or immediately presenting a follow-up question.    

Provide a Positive Experience

Throughout the interview process, it’s important to remember that the candidate is evaluating your firm as much as you are evaluating them. That is why it’s imperative to create a welcoming and positive environment for SAP candidates. Providing an interview experience that is respectful, engaging, transparent, and informative is a key to attracting top talent.    

Approach Each Candidate Differently

Because each candidate comes with different experiences and backgrounds, they also bring a unique perspective and skillset to the table. To best understand what the candidate has to offer, each interview should be tailored to match each candidate. This will allow for a more meaningful and insightful interview, likely leading also to a more well-informed hiring decision.    

Interview Questions

 

Can you walk me through your experience with an SAP implementation?

This question provides candidates with an opportunity to discuss their hands-on involvement and experience with SAP projects. It will also give them a chance to showcase their versatility in the types of projects they’ve worked on, from implementation to customization to maintenance, as well as the solutions they’ve worked with, from SAP SuccessFactors to SAP Datasphere.    

Can you discuss a challenging SAP project you have worked on and how you overcame the obstacles?

By asking about past challenges and how they were solved, insight can be gained into a candidate’s problem-solving and adaptability skills and ability to function in complex environments. In the case of SAP, the environments are often dually difficult due to the complex nature of the technology and the challenges of working in a team. As such, top SAP candidates need to be able to work effectively in this environment, and this question provides them with an opportunity to display their relevant soft and hard skills.    

Do you have any experience with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications?

As the technology landscape continues to evolve, the integration of ML and AI in SAP systems has become increasingly relevant. Now more than ever, candidates should have a familiarity with these technological advancements that shows their adaptability and readiness for future trends and changes in SAP.   

Final Recommendations on Techniques and Questions for Interviewing SAP Candidates

While SAP jobs require a certain level of technical proficiency, it’s important not to overlook the significance of soft skills like teamwork, communication, adaptability, and problem-solving in the interview process. Throughout the process, provide feedback and communicate thoroughly to leave all candidates with a positive impression of your organization, regardless of whether they get hired. Incorporating these techniques and questions into your hiring process can help to effectively evaluate SAP candidates and make the best hiring decisions for your company.   To learn more about techniques and questions for interviewing SAP candidates, reach out to our team of experts at BCTG.    Contributions from Aaron Messer

While finding the right candidate for your organization is an ideal business decision, increasing productivity and capabilities, hiring a bad fit can waste time, money, and resources for the company. A bad hire can be costly in many aspects including costs of training, severance pay, and productivity loss. However, there are many ways to avoid this by choosing the right candidate from the get-go. Doing so requires a thoughtful interview and hiring process, which includes more than just a technical evaluation but also a cultural and organizational assessment.  In this post, we break down the cost of a bad hire and how finding the right hire can bring long-term success and growth to your company.   

The Cost of a Bad Hire 

According to a survey, 75% of employers said they have hired the wrong person for a position. Oftentimes, mistakes made throughout the hiring process result in organizations choosing the wrong candidates, and while this is avoidable by tweaking your hiring processes, mistakes can be costly. In fact, the average cost of hiring the wrong employee is $17,000. Overall, choosing the right hire is key to being cost- and time-effective, which can be done through facilitating a thoughtful hiring process.    

How to Choose the Right Hire 

There are many boxes to check before sending an offer letter to a candidate, and a poor assessment of a candidate can turn out disastrous in the long run. To avoid this, consider implementing these methods prior to committing to a candidate:   

Assess Technical Skills 

Your interview process needs to be catered to the job's responsibilities. For example, if you are hiring for an SAP implementation role, passing a technical assessment would be a fitting requirement to see your candidates' skills in-action. Making sure your candidate possesses the right technical or soft skills is a key component in knowing if the candidate will succeed in their role.    

Check References 

Knowing the relevant background of the candidate you are planning to hire is always a promising indicator of success. Getting a snapshot of a candidate's past performance will provide insight into their potential at your organization. Interviewers can ask past employers specific questions about the candidates' strengths and weaknesses, work ethic, and team dynamics to get answers to questions that interviewees may not have communicated.      

Evaluate Cultural Fit 

Of course, having the right technical skills is an important aspect when looking for the right hire; however, fitting in culturally and socially is equally important. Being a cultural fit contributes to overall job satisfaction and creates an environment that nurtures productivity and engagement. As such, a candidate's values should align with the mission of the organization to ensure that they will fit well within the teams.    

Looking Ahead 

When assessing candidates for an open role, making sure you have a full picture of the person you are planning to hire is key. Easily stated, hiring the wrong fit is a common but very avoidable mistake that many organizations make. To mitigate this costly and timely mistake, implementing thoughtful and relevant interview procedures can make your hiring process smooth and efficient.   Contact BCTG’s staffing and recruiting experts today for guidance on your recruitment and hiring processes.     Contributions from Leah Harding

Managing staffing resources effectively is crucial for the success of mid-size consulting projects. The unique challenges of these projects, which often fall between the highly structured environment of large projects and the flexibility of smaller ones, require a balanced approach to resource management.   In this eBook, we explore nine tips for managing staffing resources in mid-size consulting projects to help you optimize staffing resources and ensure your project runs smoothly.   

9 TIPS FOR MANAGING STAFFING RESOURCES

 

1. Define Clear Roles and Responsibilities

One of the first steps in managing staffing resources is to clearly define roles and responsibilities. This ensures that every team member knows their specific duties and helps to avoid overlaps or gaps in the workflow. Firms should create a detailed project plan that outlines each role, including the tasks and responsibilities associated with it and the expectations for performance.  Action steps include:   

2. Leverage Skill Mapping

Understanding the skills and competencies of your team is essential for effective resource allocation.

Maintaining project continuity is a critical challenge faced by many organizations, especially in dynamic industries such as IT and SAP, where contractor turnover is often present. When contractors leave, it can disrupt workflows and team dynamics or cause delays and roadblocks, which can all affect the quality of the project. As such, it's essential to implement strategies that ensure seamless transitions and maintain the momentum of the project. Below, we outline five effective strategies for maintaining project continuity in IT.   

Strategies for Maintaining Project Continuity

 

1. Develop a Comprehensive Onboarding Process 

A robust onboarding process is crucial for bringing new contractors up to speed quickly and ensuring they can contribute effectively from the start. This process should be comprehensive and meticulously planned to cover all essential aspects. It's vital to ensure that all project details – including goals, timelines, roles, responsibilities, and processes – are thoroughly documented and easily accessible. This documentation serves as a reference point for new contractors, helping them understand the scope and expectations of their work.   Additionally, providing necessary training and resources is essential. This includes not only formal training sessions but also access to tools and materials that can help new hires grasp the project's requirements and standards. Mentorship programs also play a significant role, as pairing new contractors with experienced team members can facilitate a smoother transition. These mentors can offer guidance and support, helping newcomers navigate the initial phases of their work more effectively. In fact, data has shown that companies with mentorship programs can increase profit – in some cases 2x more than their peers - and improve resiliency.   

2. Implement a Project Management System

A project management system can also help maintain continuity by providing a structured framework for managing tasks, timelines, teams, and resources. Implementing such a system ensures that all aspects of a project are organized and monitored, facilitating smooth operations and efficient workflow.   Task management, for example, allows project managers to track and prioritize tasks, ensuring all team members are clear about their responsibilities and deadlines, which contributes to a cohesive team effort where everyone understands their role and how it fits into the larger project. This may also involve monitoring project timelines and milestones to ensure deadlines are met and the project stays on schedule.   

3. Foster a Collaborative Team Environment

Encouraging a collaborative team environment can significantly contribute to project continuity. After all, 50% of employees would stay longer at their company if they had a better, more collaborative work environment. With this in mind, here are a few ways to foster a collaborative environment:   Note: It’s important to remain flexible and adaptable, as one in five contractors cite schedule flexibility as a reason for choosing contract work.  

4. Leverage Technology for Remote Work

With the rise of remote work, leveraging technology is essential to ensure project continuity regardless of contractor location. Cloud-based tools, for instance, allow team members to access and update project details in real time, ensuring everyone stays informed and coordinated. This accessibility is especially crucial for maintaining productivity and coherence in a remote work environment.  Conducting virtual meetings using platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams also helps keep everyone connected, regardless of their physical location. Additionally, providing secure remote access to critical tools and databases enables contractors to perform their tasks just as they would in a traditional office setting.   

5. Develop a Retention Strategy for Contractors

While it's inevitable that some contractors will leave, a strong retention strategy can significantly reduce turnover rates and help to maintain project continuity. One of the most effective strategies for retaining contractors is offering competitive compensation, which includes salary and benefits. Recognizing and rewarding contractors for their contributions can enhance their loyalty and motivation to remain with the organization. In fact, 70% of employees consider recognition and reward programs critical in their work environment. Other ways to increase retention include pay transparency, professional development, workplace culture, career growth trajectory, and more.   

Looking Ahead

Regardless of the industry or the project, these strategies can help your organization find success and ensure continuity. As you begin implementing these strategies for maintaining project continuity in IT, consider consulting with our team of staffing experts for additional guidance.

Onboarding is a critical process for any organization, and when it comes to onboarding SAP professionals, it requires a specialized approach due to the complexity and technicality of their roles. No matter what area of SAP the professional specializes in, effective onboarding strategies can help them integrate smoothly into the organization and ensure they are aligned with expectations. Below are seven key strategies for onboarding SAP professionals.   

Strategies for Onboarding SAP Professionals

 

1. Preparation

Before an SAP professional officially starts onboarding for their new position, it’s essential to communicate all necessary information regarding the role and its requirements, including the team they will be working with and the projects they will be handling. It’s also helpful to provide an overview of the company's SAP environment so they can best prepare mentally and technically.  On the back end, organizations must ensure that all administrative tasks are completed before the professional’s start date. This includes setting up their workspace (if they are working in person), arranging necessary hardware and software, creating user accounts, and providing access to relevant systems and documentation. After all, a smooth setup helps the new hire to start their work without any delays.  Note: For those working in a remote or hybrid setting, remember to plan out a virtual onboarding strategy. This includes online training modules and virtual collaboration platforms so that the new hire receives a comprehensive experience, regardless of location.   

2. Orientation

On their first day, introduce the new professional to the company’s mission, vision, values, and culture. The introduction should include information about the organizational structure as well, highlighting key departments and leadership. This can help them understand the broader context of their work and how it contributes to the company (and its goals).  In addition to introducing the broader company, orientation should provide an in-depth overview of the company’s SAP landscape, including the modules that are currently in use, customizations, and any past, ongoing, or upcoming projects, along with governance and change management procedures. This is an especially important step that should not be overlooked when onboarding SAP professionals.

Contractor turnover is a persistent challenge in many industries, and the costs associated with recruitment and training can significantly impact a company's bottom line. Beyond financial implications, high turnover rates can also disrupt project timelines, influence team dynamics, damage client relationships, and hinder overall business growth. By understanding the factors contributing to turnover and implementing effective retention tactics, businesses can build a more stable and productive contractor workforce. Below, we explore three ways to manage contractor turnover.   

Factors Influencing Turnover

Contractor turnover is a silent yet potent threat to business success. The constant cycle of recruiting, hiring, training, and onboarding new contractors can drain resources, disrupt projects, and erode overall productivity and project success. To effectively address this challenge, it's essential to understand the underlying causes. Common factors include:  Once you've identified the primary factors driving contractor turnover in your company specifically, you can implement targeted strategies to improve retention and project continuity. However, as turnover is inevitable, we outline some ways to manage contract turnover to the best of your ability.   

Ways to Manage Contractor Turnover

 

1. Build a Talent Pipeline

Having a pool of pre-vetted contractors is essential for swiftly addressing gaps that arise due to turnover. When key positions become vacant, having immediate access to a roster of qualified candidates can significantly reduce downtime and ensure you’re meeting the client’s needs for that particular project.   One effective way to do this is by networking. By attending industry events and engaging with professionals in your field, you can establish connections with potential contractors. At these events, you will likely meet individuals who are not actively seeking new opportunities but could be interested in contract work one day.   Another option is to form a partnership with a staffing agency. These agencies often have extensive databases of pre-screened candidates, allowing you to quickly find the right fit for your needs. BCTG, for example, has a vast network of pre-vetted candidates ready to serve our clients across the IT sector. We also have a referral program in place, encouraging current contractors to recommend qualified candidates. This ensures a continuous influx of skilled professionals, ready to step in whenever and wherever needed.   

2. Create a Knowledge Transfer Plan

If a contractor does decide to leave, a knowledge transfer plan can ensure that critical information is passed on to the incoming contractor or existing team members. A key element of this plan is the documentation of work, meaning contractors should be diligent in maintaining detailed records of their contributions, including code, designs, customizations, and any modifications made. This helps the incoming contractor or existing team members understand the current state of the project and any specific nuances. Transition meetings between outgoing and incoming contractors can also provide an opportunity to discuss ongoing tasks and future plans for a seamless handover. With a solid plan in place, organizations can maintain productivity and project momentum even during periods of transition.   

3. Conduct Exit Interviews

Finally, an often-overlooked way to manage contractor turnover is by conducting exit interviews. Many companies are missing out on precious feedback and opportunities for growth, with a Harvard Business Review study finding that when executives were asked about programs that resulted from their company exit interviews, fewer than one-third could cite an example.  These interviews provide insight into why contractors are leaving and how your organization can minimize turnover, so, during these interviews, it's essential to focus on understanding the primary reasons for the contractor’s departure. This could range from personal reasons to job dissatisfaction or better opportunities elsewhere. By pinpointing these reasons, organizations can identify patterns or common issues that may be affecting contractor retention.   Contractors often have unique insights into the day-to-day operations and can offer practical recommendations for improving communication and fostering a more collaborative atmosphere. Don’t let this opportunity go to waste; these suggestions from exit interviews can lead to meaningful changes that enhance the overall work experience for both current and future contractors.    

Looking Ahead

Managing contractor turnover is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach. By intentionally managing it from the beginning and carefully analyzing the reasons behind turnover, businesses can significantly improve project outcomes and build stronger partnerships with contractors. Remember, investing in your contractor workforce is an investment in the long-term success of your business.  To continue the discussion, connect with experts at BCTG. 
Individuals may want to transition into a software engineering career for a variety of reasons. Aside from increased salary and benefits, software engineers are often at the forefront of solving digital challenges. It may be difficult, however, for individuals already on a different career path to know where to begin.   In this article, we break down key considerations and steps to transition to a software engineering career.    

Key Considerations

Before anyone jumps into software engineering, they should confirm that it’s the right change for them. Software engineering is unique in many aspects and is accompanied by its own set of challenges.   Below, we cover a few aspects of software engineering to consider before switching careers.   

How to Transition to a Software Engineering Career

Unlike many career shifts, a transition to software engineering does not require a college degree. Often, it simply requires learning the field and an adeptness at coding.   Here are a few actionable steps to facilitate the transition to software engineering:   

1. Learn the Material

The first step to becoming a software engineer is to learn the field. This often means learning important coding languages and how to use them with regard to specific tasks. For example, learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript will be tremendously important for landing a job in web development. Other coding languages serve different purposes so actively research which language would be best to learn for a specific field.  While individuals can learn on their own, we recommend that they utilize a training partner or online resources to gain the right skills and search for a job.   

2. Practice Coding

It’s one thing to learn a coding language and another to know how to use it in various scenarios. While learning the language and before any interview, practice dealing with various challenges. This will ensure that you can tackle any sort of practical interview and hit the ground running on your first day. It also bolsters an ability to deal with coding challenges, even if the specific issue is new.    

3. Enhance Your Soft Skills

A software engineering career is not entirely individualistic. Software engineers often collaborate and work in teams to tackle larger problems. This means that individuals need to possess certain soft skills like teamwork, leadership, and communication to succeed at most companies. Be aware that those with soft skills are able to differentiate themselves from other candidates with just technical skills.    

Looking Ahead

Ultimately, software engineering can be a rewarding career path. Be sure, however, that it’s right for you before switching because it requires a high level of effort and interest to become successful. When you’re ready to find your next software engineering role, consider joining BCTG’s network of IT professionals here.    Contributions from Jake Park-Walters

Finding the right talent for an SAP retail project is no easy task. The market for skilled SAP professionals is highly competitive, and the demand often outstrips supply. More than 20,000 retailers leverage SAP, and when looking at the SAP ERP customer base by industry, retail alone holds nearly 10% of the market share. Additionally, the specific requirements for an SAP retail implementation—such as expertise in modules like SAP S/4HANA Retail, SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR), SAP Merchandise Management (MM), and SAP Forecasting and Replenishment (F&R)—mean that the talent pool is even more specialized.  Retailers need individuals who not only have technical proficiency in SAP but also understand retail operations, supply chain management, inventory control, and customer engagement. The ideal candidates are those who can bridge the gap between technology and business, ensuring that the SAP solutions implemented are aligned with the retailer's strategic goals.   

Working with a Trusted Partner

With this in mind, partnering with a staffing firm can provide significant advantages when sourcing talent for an SAP retail project. Below, we outline just three key benefits:  

1. Access to a Larger Talent Pool

Staffing firms have extensive networks and databases of qualified candidates. They invest time and resources into building relationships with professionals in various fields, such as SAP, and across industries. This means that they can quickly identify and reach out to potential candidates who may not be actively seeking new opportunities but would be a perfect fit for your particular project.   

2. Expertise in Talent Matching

Staffing firms specialize in understanding the specific needs of their clients and matching them with candidates who have the right skills and experience. A firm that has a deep understanding of both the SAP ecosystem and the retail industry can screen candidates effectively to ensure they meet the necessary technical and business requirements – and have adequate industry experience – for your needs.  

3. Flexibility and Scalability Based on Project Needs

Staffing firms offer flexible staffing solutions, whether you need a single expert for a short-term project or an entire team for a long-term implementation. They can scale their services up or down based on your needs, ensuring that you have the right resources at the right time without the overhead of permanent hires.   

Choosing the Right Partner

Selecting the right partner is crucial to the success of your SAP retail project. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a staffing firm:

Technology used for training and organizational change management plays a pivotal role in determining its effectiveness in transitioning end-users to a new system. One powerful option currently available for SAP and non-SAP systems is SAP Enable Now, a comprehensive platform for training and content authoring, sharing, and management. This tool, developed by SAP, is versatile, sustainable, and able to deliver personalized learning experiences to a range of end users.  Below, we explore some of the key features of SAP Enable Now.   

Features of SAP Enable Now

 

Versatile at its Core

SAP Enable Now is packed with features that make it an incredibly versatile tool. Its versatility is in its ability to accommodate various learning styles and preferences, offering modes such as Demo, Practice, and Test Mode, alongside quizzes and downloadable guides. In Demo Mode, users are guided through the steps and clicks necessary to complete a specific SAP transaction via a video demonstration. Practice Mode and Test Mode walk users through the same series of steps and clicks, but with users actively performing the actions rather than passively watching a demo. Various downloadable user guides and job aids can be generated from the same simulation recording. These can be shared easily with users for quick reference, and quizzes can be generated using the simulation content for users to check their understanding.    The multiple outputs that can be produced from a single simulation recording make it easy to cater to the learning styles of different users. There are options available for those who learn better by doing and those who prefer learning visually. For example, running through a demo is beneficial to show in a live training session; meanwhile, the PDF guides are useful for sharing out after the session. Plus, SAP Enable Now isn’t limited to demonstrating SAP transactions alone; it can also record training simulations for other platforms like Excel, broadening its utility across different training contexts and supporting end-to-end business process training    

Tailored to Your Needs

Customization can be used to tailor the user experience in SAP Enable Now. Training content can match not only the brand’s physical appearance and brand guidelines but also utilize formats that cater to the preferred learning styles of end users. Leveraging SAP Enable Now’s features to align with a brand’s logos, colors, and fonts can increase buy-in from end users. The use of templates and book pages (landing pages or tables of contents for a course) also maintains consistency across the different training materials.    SAP Enable Now allows the ability to customize the settings to match the organization’s industry’s needs and the culture of the company using it. For example, retail and consumer product brands may favor a demo and practice mode that guides users through SAP transactions in a casual manner with helpful hints and themed demos tailored to their brand to enhance user engagement. Alternatively, life sciences brands may prioritize the Test mode, featuring a stringent scoring system that ensures the understanding of end users with straightforward assessments. SAP Enable Now can be personalized in various ways to maximize its effectiveness toward end users across any industry.    

Built for Long-term Sustainability

SAP Enable Now is useful during the crucial stages of a new system implementation; but it’s a tool designed for long-term sustainability. During initial training phases, training content can be sent to business users who are testing the system before a Go-Live, enabling them to accurately follow test scripts and become familiar with the system. Additionally, SAP Enable Now’s use extends far beyond the initial implementation phase as it continues to provide end-users training content long after a system has gone live.    “Learner View” is a type of SAP Enable Now account for an end user that allows them access to a library of all the published training content to be referenced at any time. In scenarios where an end user may not need to perform a specific transaction in SAP until months after the initial training, we’ve seen there’s value in encouraging these users to revisit the recordings and PDF guides to ensure that the knowledge is retained by end users.   

Getting Started with SAP Enable Now

We recognize the importance of highlighting the advantages and key features of SAP Enable Now. Our experience has been that this tool is underutilized because people are not aware of its potential to significantly enhance the learning process of SAP users. SAP Enable Now empowers trainers to develop tailored experiences through its ability to cater to diverse learning styles, offer various visual preferences and settings, and facilitate long-term content retention among end users.   If you’re interested in learning more about the features of SAP Enable Now or how to get started, connect with our experts today.    This piece was originally published by a partner in our business ecosystem, Clarkston Consulting.

Inclusive recruitment is an essential aspect of modern hiring practices that aims to create a diverse and equitable workforce. Among various underrepresented groups, neurodivergent individuals—those with neurological differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette’s Syndrome, and other conditions—often face unique challenges in the job market. In fact, one in five American adults is neurodiverse, yet studies estimate that the unemployment rate for neurodiverse adults runs as high as 30-40%. By implementing inclusive recruitment strategies for neurodivergent candidates, employers can tap into the valuable skills and perspectives that these individuals bring to the table.   

UNDERSTANDING NEURODIVERSITY

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variations in human brain function and behavior. Neurodivergent individuals may think, learn, process, and handle information differently from neurotypical individuals. This diversity can be a significant asset in the workplace, as it often translates into unique problem-solving abilities, creativity, innovation, and attention to detail. However, traditional recruitment processes can inadvertently exclude neurodivergent candidates due to biases and inflexible practices.   

THE IMPORTANCE OF INCLUSIVE RECRUITMENT

Diverse teams are known to be more innovative and productive, with inclusive teams making better business decisions up to 87% of the time. By fostering an inclusive environment, companies can not only benefit from a wider, more creative talent pool, but they can also improve their employee retention and satisfaction as employees feel more seen and heard. Moreover, inclusive recruitment practices align with corporate social responsibility and enhance an organization’s reputation.   

BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT FOR NEURODIVERGENT CANDIDATES

Many neurodivergent individuals find conventional hiring practices challenging. Open-ended and semi-unpredictable interview questions, ambiguous social cues, and the pressure to perform in a timed setting or in a certain manner can often be significant barriers.  Misconceptions about neurodivergence can also lead to biased hiring decisions. Employers might mistakenly believe that neurodivergent individuals are less capable or adaptable.  Without appropriate accommodations, neurodivergent candidates may struggle to demonstrate their true capabilities. Simple adjustments, such as flexible work hours or modified communication methods, are often overlooked.   

5 RECRUITMENT STRATEGIES FOR NEURODIVERGENT CANDIDATES

 

1. Educate and Train Hiring Teams

Providing training to hiring managers and HR personnel on neurodiversity is a crucial step toward creating a more inclusive and effective workplace. This training should encompass an understanding of the strengths and challenges associated with various neurodiverse conditions. With this knowledge, hiring managers and HR professionals can better appreciate the unique perspectives and capabilities that neurodiverse individuals bring to the table.

In today’s ever-changing digital landscape, finding talented SAP staff has become critical for technological success. The demand for skilled SAP professionals has grown significantly, and many positions are now remote, including an entirely online hiring process for most organizations. However, remote hiring and work can present challenges in getting to know a candidate and developing a strong company culture. We’ve outlined key tips to follow when seeking to hire and manage remote SAP talent below.   

4 Tips for Hiring and Managing Remote SAP Talent

 

1. Ensure that candidates have essential skills beyond technical knowledge 

A strong remote SAP candidate will have strong communication skills and time management abilities, and they will be eager to actively participate in conversations and brainstorming even in an online setting. Technical expertise in SAP solutions is critical, but standout talent will also be able to effectively share their knowledge and have a positive impact on the company even virtually. Without a strong ability to communicate , an SAP professional will be unable to mesh well with the existing technological systems and the company's culture.   

2. Set explicit expectations and communicate clearly 

When hiring for a remote position, it can be a challenge to ensure that the candidate fully comprehends what the position entails. As such, make sure that during the hiring process, expectations for the role are clearly stated to minimize misunderstandings and shortcomings down the road.  Clear and active communication can not only ensure a mutual understanding of company goals but can also foster strong morale and increase team satisfaction. Consider implementing technologies that facilitate good communication between team members, and host meetings when necessary to promote face-to-face conversation. Creating a friendly company culture can be difficult when employees are not physically together, but celebrating successes and sharing praise with team members can make everyone feel heard even in an entirely online setting.   

3. Foster a collaborative culture 

Remote SAP professionals will be better able to adapt to a new company if they engage with peers in an educational and social manner.  Encourage team video calls, project collaboration, and social engagement to establish a team that can work well together and present their best selves in every project. A collaborative culture will ultimately help newly-hired SAP talent grasp company norms and expectations faster as they learn from other team members, and it will also lead to greater work satisfaction as employees are able to build stronger social connections and boost their morale.   

4. Provide adequate training and resources 

When starting a remote position, it can be difficult to truly feel up for the task if there are not enough resources available to help you get started and no one you can ask questions to face-to-face like in an office setting. When hiring and managing remote SAP talent, ensure that there is a plethora of resources available to help these professionals grow accustomed to the company, the position’s expectations, and the specific projects. Designated training is also imperative for understanding unfamiliar company systems and how SAP is integrated into the internal business operations.   

Looking Ahead

Hiring and managing remote SAP talent can be challenging without the opportunity for face-to-face introductions and communication. To maximize SAP talent productivity and satisfaction, ensure that there is clear communication and expectations, a positive company culture, and adequate training and resources. These standards will encourage the smooth integration of a new SAP professional into the company.  To learn more about effective hiring and management practices for SAP professionals, contact our team at Bull City Talent Group today.    Contributions from Sam Weitzel
There are several advantages to various staffing models for mid-size consulting firms. Strategizing workforce dynamics is important to ensure that each firm’s skills and needs are adequately satisfied. Additionally, the staffing priorities of a firm - such as the tradeoff between flexibility and stability - are vital to consider based on industry, target markets, and specialty.  In this piece, we break down the differences between three alternative staffing models for mid-size consulting firms: project-based, retained, and contingent.    

ALTERNATIVE STAFFING MODELS FOR MID-SIZE CONSULTING FIRMS

 

Project-Based Staffing

A consulting firm that utilizes a project-based staffing model essentially organizes teams to address specific client projects. Oftentimes, these teams are comprised of individuals with specific skillsets that are uniquely suited to the client. For example, an SAP retail project will likely be assigned a team of SAP consultants with tailored industry knowledge in solutions such as SAP CAR.   One of the primary advantages to a project-based staffing model is that firms can rapidly deploy teams as projects arise. Additionally, firms that typically handle large projects for clients would likely prefer project-based staffing as it creates collaborative problem-solving units. One disadvantage, however, is that teams can be reliant on the abilities and soft skills of the team leader. Thus, it’s crucial for mid-size consulting firms leveraging a project-based staffing model to hire and promote their best candidates into leadership roles.    

Retained Staffing

A retained staffing model involves entering into long-term agreements with clients to provide continuous support and expertise. Unlike project-based staffing, there may not be a concretely defined timeline or project scope. Instead, consultants are retained on an extended basis to address whatever ongoing challenge the client has. Typically, these engagements are long- term and involve deeper immersion within a client’s organization.   An advantage of a retained staffing model is that consulting firms often develop long-term partnerships with clients. This generates consistent revenue that firms focused solely on project-based assignments may not always experience. Additionally, consultants often deepen their skills throughout the engagement and bring these unique skills back to the firm. This staffing model, however, may also present challenges such as inflexibility with new client demands. If a majority of a firm’s consultants are set into long-term contracts with clients, the firm is less able to respond to new inquiries and prospective clients. Additionally, hiring retained consultants often requires more investment in development to ensure that they possess the necessary expertise needed for deep industry immersion.    

Contingent Staffing

Finally, a contingent staffing model is similar to retained staffing, albeit on a more flexible, as-needed basis. Contingent consultants are deployed to address short-term or temporary staffing gaps within client organizations. For example, a client may contract a contingent consulting firm when experiencing periods of high growth and urgently require extra professional labor. The consulting firm thus maintains a pool of skilled professionals who can be deployed either in teams or individually.  One of the key advantages of a contingent staffing model is flexibility. Consulting firms that leverage a contingent staffing model can quickly respond to fluctuations in client demand or project scope because their consultants are typically not tied down for relatively long periods of time. Additionally, some clients prefer contingent staffing because it enables support on an as-needed basis, which is cheaper than full-time or long-term contracts. Conversely, a reliance on contingent staffing also provides less stability in periods of high demand. For example, if there is industry-wide demand for labor, firms may regret not signing longer-term consultants when they had the chance.   

PARTNERING WITH BCTG FOR YOUR STAFFING NEEDS

Ultimately, a firm’s staffing model is dependent upon client type and project specialty. Many of the disadvantages associated with these staffing models can be easily avoided by firms with clients that are aware of flexibility and labor demand dynamics. Regardless, firms should choose their staffing model based on finding the right balance between flexibility and stability in meeting client demand and achieving consistent revenue.  Whether you’re a mid-size consulting firm looking for project-based, retained, or contingent talent, we can help.

An SAP customization involves modifying the standard SAP software to meet the specific needs of a business. This can include altering existing functionalities, changing the behavior of the application, integrating new modules, or developing entirely new applications. The customization process typically involves three levels: 
  1. Configuration: Adjusting the settings of existing modules to align with business processes. 
  2. Enhancement: Adding new functionalities or enhancing existing ones through user exits, BADIs (Business Add-Ins), enhancement points, and more. 
  3. Development: Creating new programs or interfaces using SAP ABAP. 
With this in mind, customizing SAP for industry-specific needs is an especially complex task that requires careful planning and execution. Below, we break down key challenges and considerations when approaching an industry-specific SAP customization.   

Common Challenges

One of the biggest challenges in SAP customization is the complexity and cost involved. Customizations can require significant time and resources, so it's important to carefully prioritize requirements and develop a detailed strategy.   As such a complex undertaking, the process often involves integrating the solution with other systems and applications, which can create integration issues and compatibility problems as well. To mitigate this, it's important to conduct thorough integration testing and use standard integration tools and protocols.  Finally, stakeholders may have high expectations for the customization that may not always be feasible. As such, remember to have an open and clear channel of communication with stakeholders so you can share the scope and limitations of the customization(s) and provide regular updates.   

Industry-Specific Challenges

SAP customizations, while necessary for aligning with specific business needs, introduce complexities unique to each industry. These industry-specific challenges necessitate tailored customizations, often requiring deep industry expertise and careful planning to achieve desired outcomes.   For example, one hurdle for an SAP retail customization relates to managing vast and complex product catalogs. With many products, maintaining accurate and up-to-date information within SAP can be daunting, and retailers often deal with rapid product lifecycles, necessitating frequent updates and changes to the system as well.  The healthcare industry, on the other hand, presents a different set of challenges for SAP customizations. For instance, with stringent regulations like HIPAA, protecting sensitive patient information is paramount. This requires robust security measures and compliance with complex data handling requirements within the SAP system.   

5 Considerations for an SAP Customization

 

1. Involve Key Stakeholders

As previously mentioned, stakeholder involvement is crucial for the success of an SAP customization. Whether it be business leaders or end users, their input and feedback are essential for defining requirements and ensuring the customizations meet the needs of the business.  

2. Follow a Structured Methodology

Following a structured methodology, such as SAP Activate or Agile, can help ensure the customization project is well-organized and efficient. These methodologies provide best practices, templates, resources, and tools for managing the SAP customization process.  

3. Maintain Documentation

Maintaining clear and comprehensive documentation on business requirements, technical specifications, test cases, and user manuals helps ensure all stakeholders have a shared understanding of the project and can facilitate future maintenance and upgrades.  

4. Focus on Change Management

Customizing SAP often involves significant changes to business processes and workflows. As such, an effective change management strategy should be in place to make sure these changes are smoothly implemented and accepted by end users. This includes providing training and support on the customizations and addressing any resistance to change.  

5. Leverage SAP Best Practices

SAP provides a wealth of best practices and pre-configured solutions for different industries, from SAP Best Practices Explorer to SAP Solution Manager. Leveraging these best practices can help reduce the complexity and risk of customizations.   

Getting Started on an Industry-Specific SAP Customization

Customizing SAP for industry-specific needs is a complex but rewarding process. By following a structured approach and leveraging the best practices outlined above, organizations can develop solutions that meet their unique project needs. Whether you’re a healthcare manufacturer looking to maintain compliance or a retailer looking to enhance customer service, SAP customizations are possible with the right talent in place.  Looking for talent for your SAP project?

As companies increasingly rely on technology to drive their operations, the demand for skilled IT consultants has skyrocketed. These professionals are expected to possess a deep understanding of their field, coupled with the ability to solve complex problems efficiently and effectively. As such, a technical interview is designed to evaluate these exact capabilities, testing not only the consultant’s knowledge but also their problem-solving abilities and how well they can apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios.  Technical interviews can be daunting, given their rigorous nature and the high stakes involved. They often include a mix of coding challenges, system design questions, behavioral assessments, and more. As a tech consultant, your ability to navigate these components successfully can make or break your chances of landing the job. However, with the right preparation and mindset, you can turn this challenge into an opportunity to showcase your expertise and stand out from the competition.  In this eBook, we provide essential tips and strategies to master the technical interview. Whether you're an IT consultant specializing in software development or an SAP consultant focused on enterprise solutions, these tips will help you demonstrate your technical prowess and secure your dream role.   

TECHNICAL INTERVIEW TIPS

 

Before the Interview

 

1. Understand the Basics

Before diving into advanced concepts, make sure you have a strong understanding of the fundamentals. Review key concepts related to your field, such as data structures, algorithms, system design, and core principles of software engineering. For SAP consultants, focus on essential modules, solutions, systems, configurations, and integration points.   

2. Practice Coding and Problem-Solving

Coding is a critical component of many technical interviews, and regular practice can help you become proficient in writing clean, efficient code. We recommend you use online platforms to practice a variety of coding problems, focusing on different problem types, including arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs, and dynamic programming. Aim to solve problems within a set time frame to simulate the interview environment, as these assessments are typically timed.

The hiring process can be long and drawn out from the moment you submit your application to the final signing of an offer letter. This process can make candidates antsy, wanting to reach out to an organization to check on their application status, especially if it's an organization they are particularly excited about. The question of whether you should be following up on your application depends on the company you are applying to. However, there are some tips and tricks to follow when deciding if you should follow up and how you should do so.   If you are contemplating following up on a job application, here are some considerations:   

When To Follow Up 

Knowing when to follow-up is key to ensuring your message will be most impactful to the hiring manager. Most experts recommend following up on your application after two weeks. Following up too closely after your submission could be ineffective as the hiring manager may have not even looked at your, or any, applications yet. But after 2 weeks, the hiring manager will have likely reviewed the applications and is close to releasing information about moving forward in the hiring process. For post-interview follow-ups, typically a thank you note the day after is considered polite and shows your interest and commitment to the organization. It is also important to note that some applications request no follow-ups, so paying attention to that request is important to remain respectful toward hiring managers.   

Call or Email? 

When the timing is right and you are ready to follow-up, deciding whether to call or email is a key decision. Emailing the hiring manager is typically a safer route to take when following up. However, calling can be very impactful, especially if it’s a job where they are considering few candidates or if you are late in the interview process and they have already narrowed down their selection. On the contrary, imagine if 50 candidates applied and they all called to follow up – that would be overwhelming to the hiring team. So, it is important to remain respectful and not overbearing.  If you are to call, it is recommended to avoid calling on Mondays and Fridays and to avoid morning time calls because they are typically the busiest and more meeting heavy. If you choose to write an email, remember to confirm your interest in the role and personalize the email, but also keep it concise since employers already have your resume and information.    

Continue Your Search 

As stated earlier, before following up, make sure you reread the content of the job listing as some listings specifically request that applicants do not follow up. If the coast in clear and you do follow up, make sure you give employers time to process your application and follow up email as it may take several days for them to get back to you. Being overly persistent could hurt your chances of securing the job. Asking about the hiring timeline could also be helpful as you know the estimated time you should hear back. If an appropriate time has passed, it may be beneficial to follow up again; however, also remember it's important to keep applying elsewhere. Sometimes the job is not meant to be, and you need to search for different opportunities, so remember to stay positive and keep your perspective.   

Following Up on a Job Application

The job search can be a drawn out and stressful process, and waiting to hear back from an employer can add to that stress. It’s important to remember that hiring managers are busy too and reviewing hundreds of applications can be lengthy. Following-up is a great method to remind the hiring manager you are still interested and passionate about this role and can potentially turn your waiting time into an interview.    For more guidance on interviewing and the hiring process, contact BCTG for expert advice.     Contributions from Leah Harding

While the SAP talent pool is vast, finding candidates with the right credentials and expertise for a project can be challenging. As such, thorough verification is essential to ensure you're hiring the best fit for your organization. A thorough verification process not only protects your organization from bad hires or misrepresentation but also helps ensure that new hires possess the necessary skills to contribute effectively from day one. Below, we break down key strategies your organization can leverage to verify SAP candidate credentials and expertise.   

5 Steps to Verify SAP Candidate Credentials

To build a robust verification process, consider the following five steps:   

1. Background Checks

A comprehensive background check is the cornerstone of candidate verification. This includes verifying employment history, education, and criminal records. It’s helpful to partner with a reputable background check provider to ensure accuracy and compliance with relevant regulations.   

2. Reference Checks

Contacting previous employers is also essential to validate a candidate's work experience and performance. Organizations should develop a structured reference check process that focuses on specific job responsibilities, skills, achievements, characteristics, and work style.   

3. Assessments

To evaluate a candidate's technical proficiency, consider conducting a skills assessment. These can be in the form of coding challenges or practical exercises, providing concrete evidence of a candidate's abilities. It may be useful to present real-world SAP-related challenges to assess a candidate's problem-solving abilities and decision-making skills. Similarly, consider conducting in-depth technical interviews to evaluate a candidate's knowledge of specific SAP modules, systems, functionalities, and best practices.

With the constantly advancing world of tech, project deadlines and new product launches can throw tech companies into an extremely busy season. With urgent deadlines pending, tech teams may feel stretched thin to reach their targets. As such, seasonal employees can remedy this challenge, joining teams when they most need it and hopping off when the project is complete. In fact, in 2023, a survey estimated 65% of global company leaders said they would increase their use of contingent workers in the upcoming two years, demonstrating this strategy is popular and in demand.   Hiring a full-time employee is often a long vetting process and possibly not the right financial or cultural decision for the organization. If your tech team feels like they are lacking bandwidth or needing additional support, consider the benefits of seasonal employees below.   

3 Benefits of Seasonal Employees

 

New Perspective and Talent 

Bringing on a new team member temporarily has a lot of benefits, including gaining a fresh perspective on a challenge or problem. Often when trying to crack the code to a tech problem, your focus can be narrowed or you may overlook certain ideas. With a pair of new eyes on the project, the seasonal hire can offer some ideas you have never considered before. Adding individuals with diverse perspectives and experiences can boost creativity as well, allowing your team to think out of the box, and diversifying your workforce while remaining cost and time efficient will foster productivity across the organization.    

Specialized Skills 

The need for contingent workers typically revolves around the current needs of the team, meaning a seasonal employee typically is someone with advanced technical skills in areas you may need assistance in. With a full-time hire, you may be looking for a well-rounded individual who checks every box, which can be time-consuming if your current needs are urgent and specialized. Seasonal employees, on the other hand, are typically faster-to-hire, as they are equipped with the technical skills that your organizations need at that exact moment, which makes them very valuable if your organization is in a tight squeeze. For example, a seasonal employee may be ideal if an organization needs guidance navigating their SAP modules or using a certain kind of coding language to overcome a singular software challenge. In addition to that, seasonal employees be cost-effective as they surpass some of the red-tape associated will full-time hires, such as pay-roll and benefits. Ultimately, seasonal employees provide quick and specialized guidance for businesses under pressure.   

Flexibility and Adaptability 

The tech industry is constantly changing with new advancements and evolving demands from consumers, and tech companies must remain competitive with pressing deadlines and new product launches. With this in mind, seasonal employees allow for quick solutions without the drawn-out processes associated with recruitment and onboarding. They are a quick-fix solution when you need flexibility and specialized skills at the drop of a hat, like for an SAP implementation. Additionally, bringing someone on as a seasonal employee can be a great way to test run for a full-time opportunity. Say your organization only needs seasonal help at the moment, but the temporary employee felt like a good fit for a full-time roll, there's always the option of offering to bring them on to the team permanently.    

Looking Ahead

The benefits of seasonal employees for your tech company are vast - from a new perspective to increased flexibility - all of which depend on your current needs. In a time where tech companies are facing pressure from competitors and constantly evolving needs of consumers, these fast-acting employees can make a positive difference on your organization’s overall productivity while remaining cost and time effective.   If your business is considering hiring seasonal employees during your busy season, contact experts at BCTG for guidance.     Contributions from Leah Harding

In most industries, even the best ERP systems become rigid and inflexible over time. An ERP upgrade is often set aside in lieu of higher priority initiatives. Instead of realizing the functionality available within the upgrade, companies make customizations and small enhancements until so much time elapses and your ERP system is no longer supported. The core system doesn’t function as well as it once did.   Below, we break down how you can identify when it’s time for an ERP upgrade in wholesale distribution.   

ERP Upgrade in Wholesale Distribution

For many distributors, the decision about whether to proceed with an ERP upgrade is even more complex. Existing processes are already customized to align with significant business strategy decisions, including horizontal growth into additional services offerings. Many times, legacy technologies can get in the way of such advancements. As new go-to-market strategies are put into place, an increasing amount of new customized processes are introduced. Proliferation of acquisitions and integration efforts continue to occur as part of the growth initiative in the wholesale industry, requiring further customization to support differentiating processes, integrate disparate systems, and enable the requirement for a scalable solution.  Within wholesale distribution, serialized and tracking data will be coming into and out of your system. The inordinate amount of data will need to be reportable and searchable as part of standard business processes. As pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device manufacturers, for example, continue to expand into new products, including those requiring environmentally-controlled distribution, wholesalers must control the cold chain distribution capability while tracking the product through the supply chain and logistic channels. Big data based on the digital revolution requires distributors to be capable of conducting big data analytics and supporting the data volumes required to remain relevant. The ability to integrate and process large amounts data, as well as share and track those data elements across business processes, will become critical.  The cost associated with maintaining your outdated legacy IT infrastructure and operating systems, responding to defects and process irregularities, and addressing compliance failures provides a strong offset to exploring the implementation of a new, stable, and scalable solution - especially one that supports the current and future technology vision along with the aspirations set by the corporate strategy. With that in mind, it’s essential to include an ERP upgrade on your IT roadmap and begin the systems evaluation and business case preparation now.   

How do you know when it’s time for an ERP upgrade?

As your business continues to grow and expand through new services or via acquisition, new business requirements are introduced. For instance, McKesson Pharmacy Systems (MPS) announced the integration of medication synchronization and mobile delivery into its pharmacy management systems. These types of business offerings require systems to support the introduction of new solutions without creating impacts, or worse, downtime, for upstream or downstream processes. Additionally, in the pharma space, SAP S/4HANA now includes advanced PLM capabilities that help manage complex product lifecycles, from drug discovery to commercialization, ensuring better control over research, development, and product introduction.

You've nailed the interview. Now, all that's left is the dreaded reference check. While it might seem like an afterthought, reference checks are actually a crucial part of the hiring process – and they benefit candidates just as much as employers.  While often viewed as a formality for job seekers, reference checks are a powerful tool that can significantly impact your career trajectory. Beyond serving as a mere verification of your resume, they offer a multitude of benefits that can propel you forward in your job search.  Below, we break down why reference checks matter from a candidate perspective.  

Why Reference Checks Matter

 

Building Trust and Credibility

First and foremost, reference checks help to solidify your professional reputation. When a potential employer contacts your references, they're essentially conducting a character investigation. Positive feedback from former employers and colleagues can significantly boost your credibility and make you a more attractive candidate.   Standing out in the job market is crucial, and a strong reference can differentiate you from other candidates and make you a more compelling choice for potential employers.   

Validating Your Skills and Experience

Resumes and cover letters are great for showcasing your skills and accomplishments, but they can only tell so much of the story. Reference checks provide an opportunity for your previous employers to corroborate the information you've provided and offer additional insights into your work ethic, performance, character, and potential.   When a potential employer hears firsthand accounts of your accomplishments and contributions, it reinforces your qualifications and builds trust. This can also help to prevent any discrepancies or exaggerations from coming back to haunt you later.   

Identifying Areas for Growth

Believe it or not, reference checks can also work in your favor by uncovering potential red flags. If a reference mentions any concerns about your performance or behavior, it's better to know about them upfront. This gives you a chance to address the issue and explain your side of the story. It's also an opportunity for self-reflection and improvement.  After all, constructive criticism is essential for personal and professional development. While it might be uncomfortable to hear negative feedback, it can be invaluable for identifying areas of growth. Reference checks provide an opportunity to gain insights into your strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to focus on targeted skill development.   

Improving the Hiring Process & Demonstrating Preparedness

While reference checks primarily benefit employers, they can also improve the overall hiring process for candidates. By providing accurate and honest information about your references, you can help expedite the process.  It’s extremely important to also remember to give the reference a heads up. Providing a reference upfront that is prepared to speak about you shows potential employers that you are organized, proactive, and serious about the position. By going the extra mile to prepare for reference checks, you create a positive impression and increase your chances of landing the job.   

Gaining a Competitive Edge

In a tight job market, every advantage counts. Reference checks can give you a competitive edge by providing concrete evidence of your qualifications and character. But remember, reference checks are a two-way street. By understanding their importance and taking proactive steps to prepare, you can leverage them to your advantage and build a successful career.  While reference checks might seem like a formality, they play a vital role in the hiring process. So, the next time you're asked to provide references, remember that they're not just a box to check – they're an opportunity to highlight yourself as the ideal candidate.  To continue the discussion, contact the BCTG team today. 
With Generation Z entering the workplace and exploring entry level roles in organizations, learning how to attract and retain talent in this age group is key to growing your business. It is estimated by 2030, Gen Z will make up a third of the workforce making this issue pressing. Gen Z is a unique generation as they place greater emphasis on finding an employer that prioritizes mental health, diversity, and social responsibilities than previous generations. As such, understanding the wants and needs of your Gen Z employees is necessary to foster collaboration and growth for your company.    

Who is Gen Z? 

Gen Z refers to people born between 1997 and 2012, making the oldest of the bunch in their mid 20s and the youngest newly teenagers. This generation grew up in the digital age using technology, mobile phones, computers, and more from an early age. They also experienced the COVID pandemic during some of their most formative years, making them adaptable and flexible while also already having experience with remote work. Additionally, Gen Z is the most diverse generation yet, which explains their passion for DEI and social initiatives. That said, Gen Z is entering the workplace, looking for organizations to align with their wants and values.    

What are they looking for in an employer? 

As mentioned earlier, Gen Z has been highly integrated in remote work with most individuals completing school or college online. As such, this makes remote work and flexibility a priority, with the World Economic Forum research estimating 73% of Gen Z employees requesting permanent flexible work alternatives.   Additionally, similar to the retail trends we see with Gen Z shoppers, Gen Z candidates want to work for an organization that aligns with their values. In fact, 77% of Gen Z stated this was vital for their career choice, and for many of Gen Z, this means an organization that values sustainability, along with social awareness and impact. Forgoing these mission-based aspects of your business can impact your popularity to Gen Z candidates. As such, knowing the demands of the growing Gen Z candidate pool is so important to attracting young top talent.   

How to Manage Gen Z Employees 

With such a diverse and eager generation entering the workforce, businesses need to find solutions to effectively manage this generation. Below are considerations on how to do so:   

Prioritize Workplace Wellness 

As we know, Gen Z values well-being, culture, and mental health in the workplace more so than past generations have. As such, implementing a rigid and traditional culture may not land well with your Gen Z employees. Employee wellness programs such as fitness activities or stress management programs are a great way to facilitate a positive and employee-first culture in your organization. Demonstrating that you support your staff personally and professionally will also go a long way with this generation of employees.   

Allow Flexibility and Autonomy 

Gen Z is the generation with the most exposure to the remote work style, meaning many of them are hesitant to sacrifice the flexibility that comes along with it. That said, not every job can be done remotely; however, with jobs that can, offering the ability to work remotely a couple days a week or even a month can provide that flexibility this generation is demanding. Additionally, micromanagement does not work well with this generation of employees. As we saw from the Great Resignation, this generation of employees has no problem leaving organizations they feel aren't meeting their criteria. Gen Z employees want to feel in control of their work providing results that make real change. Allowing autonomy for Gen Z workers and delegating can boost their creativity and drive innovation as it gives them a sense purpose.    

Emphasize Value-Based Work 

Gen Z is the most diverse generation yet and they want to make a difference in the work through their employment. Investing in socially responsible efforts will attract Gen Z talent as this generation wants to work at an organization that aligns with its values. Putting emphasis on the societal impact your organization is making will make the role rewarding for Gen Z employees. For example, integrating social initiatives into your core values and mission which can be done by investing in sustainable practices or employee resource groups to support a more diverse workforce.   

Looking Ahead 

As your organization grows and you need to look for young Gen Z talent, understanding the values of this upcoming generation of workers is necessary. Adapting your organization to better collaborate with this new generations of workers will foster productivity and growth. If your organization wants to better understand the newest generation of hires and implement ways to seamlessly transition them into your workforce, contact experts at BCTG for support and guidance.     Contributions from Leah Harding
Companies are handling larger quantities of information than ever, especially in their recruitment and staffing processes. To keep up, businesses are continuously searching for the best candidates to ensure their company works efficiently and effectively while navigating current staffing challenges like talent shortages. As companies look towards staffing firms for quality talent, predictive analytics has proven to be an invaluable tool.   

What data are companies looking at when it comes to staffing?

When it comes to staffing, there are several key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be useful to keep in mind. These include time-to-hire, offer acceptance rate, quality of hire, selection ratio, DEI initiatives, and cost-per-hire, all of which are helpful to analyze to improve your return on investment (ROI).   Beyond factors that companies should monitor to optimize staffing and recruiting, improved human resources technologies, such as applicant tracking systems and HR information systems, are collecting more information about candidates than ever before. From former experience to demographic data, companies are given a considerable amount of detail about each potential candidate.   Particularly in IT staffing, companies tend to sift through this data and look for specific skills and traits to pull the ideal candidate. For instance, an SAP specialist would be vetted with SAP experience, data proficiency, and analytical skills, among others, to best assist an organization’s ability to integrate SAP.   With so much information to keep in mind when seeking the ideal candidate, parsing through this data is where technology like predictive analytics comes into play.   

How can companies use predictive analytics to understand this data?

Predictive analytics is the use of data to predict, analyze, and provide future scenarios that can drive strategic decisions in business. Leveraging predictive analytics, companies can use past successful recruitment data to predict what candidates will be the best fit for the job. By automatically sorting through data to ensure candidates meet pre-determined sets of criteria, companies will be able to have access to the top-quality candidates.   For instance, data visualization tools that incorporate predictive analytics like SAP Analytics Cloud can match candidate backgrounds and job roles. With the power of AL and ML, this provides automated reports of high potential in real-time. In such a competitive candidate market, this can make a huge difference by shortening the time to hire and improving the quality of hires.    

Why do predictive analytics in staffing matter?  

Predictive analytics is the future of efficiently and effectively understanding staffing and recruiting data.  By utilizing predictive analytics, companies can beat the statistic that only 7% of businesses are using HR data efficiently. By building the list of ideal traits and experience through a data-based approach available with predictive analytics, companies can save up to 23 hours of labor each week, making staffing more time and cost efficient.   In a world of talent shortages and competitive labor markets, Bull City Talent Group is here for your staffing needs. Contact BCTG today to find out how you can optimize predictive analytics in staffing.     Contributions from Natasha Shrestha 
Mid-size consulting firms often find themselves caught in a unique position—needing to compete with larger, more established players while maintaining the agility and personalized service that sets them apart. One of the most significant challenges these firms face is staffing. Whether it's finding the right talent with specialized skills or managing fluctuating project demands, staffing can make or break a consulting firm’s success. Below, we explore four strategies organizations can implement to overcome staffing challenges as a mid-size consulting firm, ensuring they remain competitive and continue to deliver exceptional value to their clients.   

Common Challenges

First and foremost, it’s crucial to understand the specific challenges mid-size consulting firms encounter as it relates to staffing. Here are just a few:   

Ways to Overcome Staffing Challenges as a Mid-Size Consulting Firm

 

1. Build a Strong Employer Brand

Building a strong employer brand is essential for attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive market. One way to start is by clearly defining the company culture, articulating the firm’s values, goals, mission, and vision. A well-defined culture not only draws in like-minded candidates but also fosters a sense of belonging and purpose among employees. In addition to culture, highlighting career growth opportunities within the firm and emphasizing the potential for internal promotions and professional development programs can boost brand image. When prospective employees see that the firm is committed to their long-term growth, they are more likely to join - and remain with - the company.   

2. Optimize Talent Acquisition

Another way to overcome staffing challenges as a mid-size consulting firm is by optimizing the firm’s talent acquisition strategy. Firms can do so by focusing recruitment efforts on specific skill sets and industries that are most relevant to their consulting services, helping attract candidates who are best suited to the firm's needs. Social media can also significantly streamline the recruitment process, allowing firms to efficiently manage job postings, sort applications, track applicants, and engage with potential hires. On the other hand, firms may consider using freelance platforms for short-term projects or to fill specialized roles on a temporary basis. This can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for meeting immediate staffing needs without the long-term commitment of a full-time hire.   Remember to also incentivize employees to refer qualified candidates. A well-structured referral program not only expands your talent pool but also encourages employee involvement, which can lead to a more cohesive team.    

3. Leverage Strategic Partnerships

Strategic partnerships can play a crucial role in overcoming staffing challenges, especially for firms that may not have the resources or reach of larger competitors. Specialized staffing agencies, for example, have access to extensive networks of candidates with specific skill sets, making them invaluable when firms need to quickly fill positions or meet project-based needs. Regardless of the niche, there are agencies that can provide firms with a curated list of qualified candidates in a fraction of the time it would take to recruit independently.   

4. Focus on Employee Retention

Retaining top talent is as important as attracting it, and a well-rounded employee retention strategy can significantly reduce turnover while enhancing overall productivity. A crucial aspect of retention is offering competitive compensation that not only meets financial needs but also demonstrates that firms value employees’ contributions, making them less likely to leave for opportunities elsewhere. Ensuring that salary and benefits packages are in line with or above market standards is essential for keeping the best employees. Similarly, implementing a robust recognition and rewards program can greatly boost employee morale. Regularly acknowledging and rewarding contributions fosters a positive work environment and reinforces a culture of appreciation. After all, when employees feel recognized and valued, they are more inclined to stay committed to the firm’s success and continue delivering high-quality work.   

BCTG Can Help

Being able to overcome staffing challenges as a mid-side consulting firm is key to growth and success. By implementing the above strategies, tailored as needed to the firm's unique needs, firms can overcome these obstacles and build a resilient, high-performing team.    In an industry where agility and expertise are paramount, addressing staffing challenges proactively can set your firm apart from the competition.   Need help staffing your next project?

The nature of working in IT has changed a lot post-COVID. With an increase in cybersecurity attacks and the rise of AI technology, IT employees are vital to businesses, with almost 70% of hiring managers increasing their IT staff in 2023. This also means that tech-savvy employees are seeing an increase in workloads, and in a remote environment, there is pressure to stay online and available to help past typical work hours.   With this in mind, maintaining a clear work-life balance is important to prevent stress and improve productivity in a demanding job. It’s reported that every two in five tech workers show a high risk for burnout, so it’s especially important for IT professionals to consciously adjust their lifestyle to balance work and home better. This piece will explore a few tips for employees looking to maintain a work-life balance in IT.   

Taking advantage of flexibility

When employees are made to follow a strict 9-5 work schedule, they often feel a lack of control over their workday, and taking time off can feel like a huge burden. One advantage of a hybrid or remote work environment is the ability to be flexible, a feat that was previously unheard of in the IT sector.  Embracing a flexible workplace structure encourages you to complete work at your own pace, without the stress of a looming clock-out time, and from where you feel most comfortable. Avoiding the rush-hour commute is enough to reduce stress on its own, but simply put, being able to work from home on your own time has been proven to increase overall productivity levels throughout the day. Taking advantage of the flexibility of being remote or hybrid allows you to feel more confident and supported to put out your best work, instead of feeling pressured to race against the clock.   Setting your own schedule can help you combat common symptoms of burnout and stress that result from having an unmanageable workload and lack of control, and is the first step toward a healthy work-life balance in IT.    

Managing Your Time (and Stress Levels)

The IT sector is a stressful and competitive work environment, and because of that, over 60% of employees in the IT sector report feeling physically and emotionally drained from the workload. Learning to manage your time can help you prevent feeling overworked and reduce overall stress levels, which encourages a healthy work-life balance.  Consider time blocking your workday and designate specific times to take breaks throughout the day. Organizing time for work and time for play helps you stay on-task while managing heavy workloads, and lets your brain know when it’s okay to restart and reboot. Also, practicing stress reduction and management techniques can be effective in preventing burnout. Avoid multi-tasking when you can, create a comfortable work environment for yourself, and proactively organize are all ways in which you can better mitigate stress-related incidents that are common in industries like IT.   Although easier said than done, making the conscious effort to manage your time can have tremendous impacts on your stress levels and productivity. When you learn how to effectively organize your time and stress around your expectations, you are working to build a healthy routine that finds the perfect harmony between work and life.   

Separating your work and home mindset

Remote and hybrid workplaces are the new norm for IT, and while it has many benefits, it can also blur the boundary between home and work, leaving you feeling like your brain is working on-the-clock 24/7. So, while it's important to take advantage of WFH capabilities, it’s equally as important to create a clear distinction between your work mindset and your at-home mindset.   Working in bed might seem like a dream, but associating work with where you sleep could decline your productivity or even impact how well you sleep. Dedicating a quiet area for work is enough to prevent it from interfering with your personal life. Also, with the frequency of cyberattacks and software issues, 56% of IT workers today feel stressed even after the workday is over. So, setting clear boundaries of when you will be on and offline ensures that everyone, including yourself, will respect your designated time at home.   Before, it was easy to associate one distinct location for work and the other for home. Now, as the two overlap, it's important to create a healthy work-life balance to not only help you feel more relaxed at home, but also help you feel more productive and engaged at work.    

Wrapping it up

Navigating the IT landscape post-COVID, we are presented with both opportunities and challenges. While the freedom of remote and hybrid work has plenty of benefits, it has caused a further overlap between home life and work life, which can put a strain on both mental and physical health. In a demanding and dynamic sector like IT, it's important to strive for a healthy work-life balance to reduce the risk of burning out.   Achieving that balance, especially in a remote or hybrid environment, requires you to be more intentional behind your actions and behaviors. Develop a strategy that helps you sustain that balance, and you’ll see how it not only improves your performance at work, but it helps you enjoy your free time at home even more.   Looking for your next remote or hybrid IT position?

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the ability to effectively store and use data has become paramount for all businesses. SAP’s array of software solutions have immense data organization and analysis capabilities, allowing businesses to streamline their workflow and make more informed business decisions.   When it comes to data utilization and analysis, SAP BusinessObjects (BO) and SAP Business Intelligence (BI) are two solutions that are essential for businesses to make the most of their data. Businesses looking to encourage growth backed by data-driven decisions should understand both SAP BO and SAP BI to effectively harness their own data.   Below, we compare the two SAP business intelligence platforms, pointing out differences and similarities that make up each platform.  

 

WHAT IS SAP BUSINESSOBJECTS?

SAP BusinessObjects (BO) is a collection of business intelligence tools that assist with data organization and visualization within a company. Its main purpose is to streamline data processing while also hiding the more structural qualities of the data and its implementation. Real business objects, like staff or capital, can be represented as business objects in the SAP system. They hold the data specifics that are useful for numerous analytical software platforms.   SAP BO is established with layers to present only the most usable aspects of the data for visualization and analytical purposes. The business logic and data of the recorded business objects is engrained more centrally in the platform, while the top layers designate how the object presents to the world and what software can gain access. Businesses can record data and, with the suite’s enhanced visualization and analytical capabilities, make more data-driven and beneficial company decisions.  

 

WHAT IS SAP BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE?

SAP Business Intelligence (BI) encompasses all the tools and systems used to analyze any data a business collects and serves as more of a conceptual framework for how to use data to make informed decisions. SAP refers to BI as “descriptive analytics,” illustrating its capabilities to generate insights from a business’s past and present data.   The BI suite is flexible, allowing for seamless integration of all business operations and SAP platforms, such as SAP S/4HANA. It also holds a very general perspective, taking a broad look at the current and historical state of company operations and using that information to generate data illustrations. Businesses utilizing BI can make stronger decisions supported by present and past data, creating more opportunities for future growth and innovation.  

 

Comparing SAP Business Intelligence Platforms

Each SAP suite serves a different purpose, from more specific data analysis to a conceptual framework. While SAP BO offers an expansive suite of applications to address analytical needs, SAP BI encompasses a wider range of methodologies and technologies aimed at enabling data-driven decision-making across the entire organizational landscape.   One of the primary advantages of SAP BO is the ease with which it pairs with other SAP solutions, allowing the entire SAP ecosystem to have extensive analytical capabilities. However, it can be difficult to integrate SAP BO with non-SAP systems. Businesses must account for their existing data platforms to determine how effective SAP BO will be if implemented.   On the other hand, the versatility of SAP BI allows organizations to work directly with their existing data infrastructure and requirements. Businesses that implement SAP BI can achieve higher levels of flexibility in their data analytic capabilities and can also experience a more seamless integration into already-established systems. However, maintaining a robust data storage and analysis system can be a significant investment. Businesses must determine the extent to which the conclusions generated from SAP BI will assist in their operations and goals of innovation.   Ultimately, SAP BO focuses on the data specifics, understanding their inherent qualities such as access, implementation, and integrity, while SAP BI takes a broader look at a company’s data to generate overarching conclusions about strengths and weaknesses in the present and the past. Both serve a unique purpose in a business’s operations, helping to establish specific data analysis and a more general conceptual framework.  

 

LOOKING AHEAD

Each suite offers the opportunity to make stronger, data-driven decisions that can increase a company’s efficiency and general growth. Understanding each platform’s unique traits will allow informed choices of what will be most effective if integrated into existing workflows.   We can help you harness the power of SAP solutions.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing IT jobs as we know them, with its ability to process data much faster than human capital. While this may raise fear about AI creating job displacement in the IT sector, AI is enabling employees to focus on higher-level subjects that AI can't address. This mitigates tedious work, like data entry and basic analysis, that employees are often tied up with, creating more opportunities for high-level and critical thinking roles. Ultimately, AI is transforming the IT industry by creating numerous opportunities for growth and innovation throughout the organization, while also freeing up employees to focus on analytics and decision making.   Below are considerations on how AI is impacting careers in the IT industry.   

Impact of AI on IT Careers

 

Job Transformation and Evolving Skills

AI is taking over responsibilities of simple IT tasks by automating repetitive duties and crunching raw data. According to the World Economic Forum, AI will replace an estimated 85 million jobs by 2025. While this may seem scary, it is creating new opportunities along with it. So yes, AI will fulfill the duties of a data entry assistant or customer service representative with its chatbots, but it will also open roles in AI development and supervision. As a result, the job requirements of a typical IT role are transforming, pushing organizations to search for candidates that can analyze AI-generated responses or run maintenance and cybersecurity checks on the software. Overall, AI is taking away the tedious and basic roles in IT while creating more opportunities in high-level and critical thinking roles.   

Productivity and Cost Effectiveness

As stated earlier, AI is now completing the long and repetitive tasks of data crunching and analysis. While historically this job, when carried out by human capital, may have taken days or weeks to complete depending on the data set, AI is completing this task instantaneously. Not only is this time effective, but it is also very cost effective as the organization would have to pay a full-time employee to look through rows of data for long periods of time. Now organizations can focus on high-level tasks such as implementing insights from the AI-generated analysis into their practices and processes.     

Compliance and Considerations

With AI, it's important to remember that there is always a human component that is necessary for this technology to be successful. Human oversight ensures that the technology is producing accurate and unbiased results. As such, IT careers may be moving away from basic data tasks and towards ensuring AI technology isn't compromising data privacy and is instead producing quality and accurate analysis. In fact, in a research study it showed that out of 555 AI models about 80% showed a high risk of bias, showing us that human oversight and intervention is necessary when using this technology. AI will never completely remove the need for human decision making; the need for employees and organizations to vet the ethical and legal considerations of the software is critical to maintaining a safe and well-working AI software.    

Looking Ahead

The IT industry is constantly evolving, discovering new technologies, like AI, to propel it forward. Organizations and employers need to be adaptable, continuously learning and tweaking their practices to produce the best services. AI is changing so many industries, with IT being a huge sector ripe for technological innovation.  If looking for guidance on how AI is impacting the IT industry and its careers, contact BCTG for expert support.     Contributions from Leah Harding 
Reference checks are often the final step in the hiring process, but their importance cannot be overstated. For employers, they offer a crucial opportunity to validate candidate information and character and ultimately make more informed hiring decisions. As a staffing firm with a deep understanding of the hiring landscape, we believe that reference checks are essential for mitigating risk and driving business success.   

Why Reference Checks Matter

 

Verifying Candidate Information

One of the primary reasons for conducting reference checks is to verify the accuracy of the information provided by the candidate. Resumes and job applications can sometimes be embellished or contain inaccuracies, and reference checks help to confirm employment history, job titles, responsibilities, and dates of employment. This information is critical for ensuring that candidates possess the necessary qualifications and experience for the role.   

Assessing Job Performance

Beyond verifying basic information, reference checks provide valuable insights into a candidate's job performance. Former employers and colleagues can offer firsthand accounts of the candidate's strengths, weaknesses, work ethic, and overall fit for the position. This information can help identify potential areas of concern, as well as confirm the candidate's suitability for the company culture.   

Predicting Future Performance

By assessing a candidate's past performance, employers can gain a better understanding of their potential for success in the new role. Reference checks can help identify patterns of behavior, work style, teamwork abilities, and problem-solving skills. This information can be used to predict how a candidate might perform in similar situations and contribute to the company's goals.   

Mitigating Risk

Hiring the wrong person can be costly and time-consuming for a company. Reference checks help to mitigate this risk by providing additional information about the candidate. By uncovering potential red flags or inconsistencies, employers can make more informed decisions and avoid hiring individuals who may not be a good fit for the organization.   

Improving Employee Retention

Reference checks can also contribute to improved employee retention. By hiring candidates who are well-matched to the role and the company culture, employers can create a more positive and productive work environment. After all, satisfied employees are more likely to stay with the company, reducing turnover costs and increasing overall job satisfaction.   

Protecting the Company's Reputation

Hiring employees with a history of misconduct or poor performance can damage a company's reputation, and reference checks help to identify risks and protect the company's image. By conducting thorough background and reference checks, employers can minimize the likelihood of hiring individuals who could negatively impact the company's reputation.   

Why Reference Checks Matter at BCTG

At BCTG, reference checks are a critical component of the hiring process. They’re more than just checking a box; they provide valuable information that can help our clients make informed hiring decisions and build stronger teams with the highest quality of talent. By investing time and resources in conducting thorough reference checks, we can help our clients improve their overall hiring success.  To learn more about our reference check process, contact our team here.

As a reference, you play a crucial role in the hiring process. Your insights and perspectives are invaluable to employers and staffing firms alike as they strive to find top talent. By understanding the role you play, you can better prepare for these follow ups and provide information that truly makes a difference.   

Our Perspective

As a staffing firm, we act as intermediaries between job seekers and employers. We are responsible for finding qualified candidates and presenting them to clients. But to ensure a successful placement, thorough reference checks are essential. Here's why:   

How You Can Help as a Reference

Your input as a reference is invaluable. Below are four quick tips on how you can provide the most helpful information:   

Be Honest and Objective

Provide truthful and unbiased feedback about the candidate, and avoid exaggerating their strengths or downplaying their weaknesses.   

Be Specific

Instead of general statements, make sure to provide concrete examples of the candidate's work and accomplishments.    

Focus on Relevant Skills

Try to only highlight the candidate's experience that is most relevant to the position they are applying for.   

Protect Confidentiality

Avoid sharing any confidential information about the company or the candidate. This is especially important for maintaining trust and protecting sensitive information.   

Wrapping Up

By providing detailed and honest feedback, you’re enabling staffing firms to make informed decisions and place qualified candidates in suitable positions. Ultimately, your contribution and insight are essential to the success of both the candidate and the company.  Remember, your role as a reference is to provide a clear and accurate picture of the candidate's abilities and potential. By taking the time to offer thoughtful feedback, you are making a valuable contribution to the hiring process.  Still not sure what value you can add? We’re happy to continue the conversation.

Remote work in IT has become increasingly prevalent since the pandemic. Regardless of whether an IT role is hybrid or entirely remote, the ability to work from elsewhere offers both unique benefits and challenges for workers. Oftentimes, workers find remote work isolating or less productive which has led companies like Amazon to mandate full returns to in-person.   In this article, we break down three best practices for remote work in IT to ensure productivity and well-being.   

Best Practices for Remote Work in IT

 

1. Optimize the workday.

One of the greatest challenges for remote IT workers is optimizing their workdays. When in an office, workers have relative structure in that they have a dedicated workspace and established routines. Those working from home, however, may find it easier to stray from structure, which can lead to unproductivity and burnout.   One strategy to ensure productivity is to establish a daily routine. Remote IT workers should set consistent work hours to mimic being in an office setting. It’s also vital to include breaks throughout the workday to avoid burnout.   Additionally, designing a dedicated workspace is important to create a divide between work and home life. While this does not need be an entire room, it’s vital to have a quiet, ergonomic area dedicated to work. If possible, ask your firm if they’re able to provide resources to make your setting more comfortable, like a home desk, monitor, or other IT equipment.    

 2. Consider cybersecurity and data.

Protecting data and sensitive work materials can sometimes be an afterthought for IT workers used to working in protected offices. It’s vital for remote workers, however, to follow company guidelines closely.   One best practice for protecting company data is to secure your home network. Oftentimes firms have specific VPNs, but if not, employees can ask for guidance on company-approved third-party network protectors. Additionally, you should ensure that Wi-Fi networks are encrypted and protected with strong passwords.   Updating systems and software on a regular basis is also key. It can be easy to ignore system updates for extended periods, but workers should understand the importance of keeping operating systems, antivirus programs, and any company software up to date.   Finally, remote workers must be careful not to fall for online phishing attempts. IT employees, especially those with access to sensitive data, must not open emails from unknown, external senders. Additionally, links and downloads from unverified sources can lead to data and financial losses. If in doubt, a remote worker should send it to internal cybersecurity teams to get verification of safety.     

 3. Maintain work-life balance.

When working from home, the lines between work and personal time can often become blurred. Remote IT workers should thus set clear boundaries around their work hours and availability to prevent overworking. If something pops up or an email comes through, it’s far easier to sit down at a home desk than drive back to an office which can lead remote workers to disregard boundaries that may have existed before.   Workers should also take dedicated breaks. It can be a misconception that working from home is more relaxing. Instead, many remote IT workers find that they neglect to disconnect. These moments of rest are often found in lunch breaks or small chats around an office, but when working alone, they can be more difficult to follow. It’s key, however, to step away from a dedicated workspace in regular intervals to avoid mental fatigue.   Finally, remote workers should make dedicated efforts to connect with colleagues socially. Prioritize video conferencing calls as opposed to audio-only so that there’s a greater connection. Additionally, encourage coffee chats that aren’t work related to foster friendships that would have been developed naturally in the office. If your firm doesn’t provide bonding or team activities, inquire about the possibility of creating social committees.      

Looking Ahead

Ultimately, remote work in IT can have amazing advantages including greater flexibility and time with family. It’s important, however, to approach work in a structured way and to be mindful of burnout. As firms deliberate whether they should allow employees to remain remote, it’s vital to continue office-specific skills in case a return-to-office is necessitated.   Interested in finding your next IT position?

SAP is the backbone of many companies and helps to run their day-to-day mission-critical processes. Several companies have customized the core extensively to enhance their operations and provide company- or industry-specific business process extensions. However, this creates a huge technical debt and makes the continuous upgrade to the latest version very difficult and, in several cases, impossible.   The need to digitize and transform business processes with agility is critical to be able to compete in today’s business environment. To enhance the entire value chain, companies need to be able to connect SAP and non-SAP applications, data, and processes across on-prem and multi-cloud hybrid landscape. SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) provides the technological foundation to be agile and innovative, enabling organizations to quickly adapt to changing market conditions and customer demands.   In this eBook, we unpack the key capabilities of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).   

What is SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)?

SAP BTP brings together application development, automation, data management, analytics and planning, integration, and AI into one unified cloud environment. SAP BTP can be considered a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for development, automation, and integration, meaning SAP handles the technological complexities so that you can focus on building extensions and connected solutions.   SAP BTP provides capabilities in four key categories:    

Key Capabilities of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)

 

1. App Development and Automation

One of the major goals when implementing a modern SAP S/4HANA system is to keep the core clean – this means keeping the enhancement and extensions outside the core ERP by using extensions in SAP BTP and reducing the technical debt. This allows for an easy upgrade to the latest version, keeping the software current and adopting the latest innovations in the core. SAP provides No code/Low code and professional developer tools to extend and build fully connected and cloud-native apps. Using open APIs, SAP Build automation provides tools to create automated workflow processes and tasks with simple drag-and-drop development, including pre-built workflows, bots, and connectors for SAP and non-SAP systems.    

2. Integration 

Integration is essential to enhance business operations across the entire value chain by connecting SAP and non-SAP systems seamlessly. SAP Cloud Integration Suite provides process integration, event mesh, and data integration. The SAP API Hub provides access to more than 2,000 pre-configured integration packs that accelerate the development time.

The growing demand for tech freelancers has transformed our modern-day IT landscape. Today, technology freelancing accounts for almost half of all freelancing jobs, and over 20% of freelancers work in technical services. This recent trend is largely driven by rapid advancements in technology, the widespread adoption of remote work, and the need for scalable tech solutions across all industries.  As companies continue to prioritize their digital transformation, IT freelancers fill a critical gap by offering specialized expertise without the commitment of full-time employment.   As demand continues to rise, more tech professionals are embracing the transition from the traditional workplace to independent freelancing. The potential earnings matched with the flexibility to set your own schedule is a major feat for those considering the shift from a typical 9-to-5. While these promises are appealing to most, it's important to also weigh the potential caveats and challenges before diving into the freelance tech sector.   

Benefits of Freelancing in Tech

 

Workload Flexibility and Control

Being an independent freelancer guarantees at least one unique advantage – complete flexibility over your work hours, work location, and frequency of projects. Freelancers have the privilege to perfectly tailor their workload to fit their personal preferences. They can choose when and where they work and whether to take on one or multiple projects at a time. This level of autonomy allows for a more personalized work-life balance, which is key for those looking to avoid rigid, mandatory work structures.   

Opportunities for Continuous Learning and Growth

Along with an adaptable work structure, another key benefit of freelancing is being able to select the projects that align best with your skillset and professional interests. As a self-employed specialist, you have the opportunity to leverage your personal expertise across various industries, choose your own diverse client network, and work with a wide range of tech solutions. Contract work naturally fosters continuous learning, and it helps you remain competitive, adaptable, and relevant in the rapidly changing IT industry.    

Potential for High Earnings

Tech freelancers have the potential to actually earn more than a full-time employee would. Most tech-related freelancing gigs offer an average salary of over $100k and about half of all freelancers in 2021 reported earning more than they did working full-time for an employer. Working as a contracted specialist offers you the freedom to negotiate your pay based on your skills or bandwidth. Highly skilled workers or those specializing in a demanding field like AI or cybersecurity can set higher, premium rates, so the financial opportunity is essentially limitless as you continue to improve.   

Drawbacks of Freelancing in Tech

 

Time Management and Discipline

While freelancing does offer unmatched autonomy and flexibility, it also requires you to have sufficient time management and organizational skills. As a freelancer, you are responsible for maintaining your own schedule, networking with new clients, and satisfying all contractual requirements or deadlines. Without the structure or governance of a typical workplace, fulfilling these tasks can prove to be challenging if you aren’t effectively self-managing. To be a successful freelancer, you must have a disciplined, proactive approach to ensure deadlines are always met without ever compromising on quality.   

Uncertain Job Availability

The tech industry is extremely volatile, so freelancers in this sector face a lot of uncertainty due to the fluctuating demand. Tech projects are not always readily available or predictable, and the IT sector can easily shift from a talent shortage to being oversaturated with specialists. As a result, tech freelancers are never guaranteed a future project or constant stream of income, so they must learn how to navigate the competitive environment to maintain financial stability. Understanding the dynamics of your market and actively connecting with new clients are both key to staying ahead as a freelancer in tech.   

Compliance and Financial Management

Self-employed freelancers essentially have to be their own business managers. When you work independently, all the logistical tasks that are handled behind-the-scenes in a standard workplace fall entirely on the individual. Tech freelancers must maintain full control over their contractual obligations, ensure legal compliance, and handle all financial activity. Additionally, it’s your responsibility alone to secure all tax, insurance, and retirement benefits, which may be overwhelming without employer support. Freelancers must be equipped to handle client negotiations, project deliverables, and financial planning on their own as well to ensure they maintain a stable income while fulfilling the legal requirements.    

Is Freelance Tech Right for You?

Freelancing in tech offers a unique blend of both opportunities and challenges. While it does grant full workplace flexibility, continuous skill growth, and the potential for higher pay, it also requires you to excel at self-management, sufficiently navigate demand uncertainty, and handle all business responsibilities on your own. Your success as a freelancer in tech depends entirely on your level of self-discipline, your ability to network, and the quality and consistency of your work when it comes to project delivery.    There is unlimited potential as a tech freelancer, but reaping these benefits requires strategic, in-depth planning and the willingness to adapt.

The IT industry is constantly evolving with new technologies and advancements changing roles and overall structures. As such, career transitions in this industry are inevitable as people shift into more popular specializations or even shift out of the industry altogether. Career transitions can be tough to navigate and heavily depend on the needs of the industry, your goals, and your specialized skills as well.   For guidance on navigating IT career transitions, below are some tips on best practices when considering a switch.  

Tips for Consideration

 

Career Goals & Skills

Making a career transition is a big decision and can often be a great step to accomplishing your future career goals. When considering taking this step, it will require a good amount of self-reflection as you want to make sure you are passionate about this new role, and your skills are aligned. By identifying your strengths and passions first, searching for the perfect role will be easier. Also, consider taking a career assessment or test to further determine what roles may be a good match with your experience and expertise. Career transitions should align with your overall goals, so making sure you are taking strategic steps toward your larger goal is important.    

Market Research & Industry Knowledge

You may feel very passionate about making a career transition to a specific specialization; however, IT roles heavily depend on the state of the job market. For example, a transition into AI management and supervision would be a good move as AI is becoming a popular tool in the industry. On the contrary, jobs that are becoming increasingly automated like data entry, basic coding, and customer service may not be the best specialization to move into. As such, staying in touch with the demands of the job market is so important to making a successful transition. Research what the in-demand skills are for the specialization you are considering and what organizations may be hiring in that area.    

Skill & Professional Development

When making a career switch, it's possible you may not have all the skills necessary for the role which you are seeking. As such, a career transition may come a learning gap of skill and professional development. For example, if wanting to explore a career in SAP implementations, you may want to explore an SAP specific course or get relevant SAP certifications. Along with developing hard skills necessary for the role you are considering, immersing yourself in networking and professional organizations can also be helpful. Connecting with industry professionals through social media and online discussion groups is a great way to get your foot in the door. It also gives insight into the type of people you would be working with and helps you decide how well you may fit in with the culture.

Mid-sized consulting firms occupy a unique space in the industry; they offer the agility and personalized service of smaller firms, often coupled with the resources and expertise of larger organizations. However, navigating the consulting industry and market dynamics can be challenging. Below, we explore how mid-sized consulting firms can better adapt to market changes with a staffing partner in place. 

 

The Challenges of Mid-Sized Firms

Mid-sized consulting firms often compete with larger firms for talent, while also needing to maintain a leaner operating model. They’re also expected to adapt quickly to changing market demands and client needs. Some additional challenges include: 

 

Tailored Staffing Solutions

Mid-sized consultants often operate in a fast-paced environment, requiring rapid response capabilities from their staffing partners. As such, the ability to quickly provide qualified candidates for new projects in a timely manner is crucial. Staffing firms must have efficient processes in place to identify, interview, screen, and onboard contract or full-time talent on short notice. Beyond rapid response, cultural fit is another key factor that staffing firms must consider during the screening and interviewing phase. After all, consultants who align with a consulting firm's values and work style are more likely to be successful and contribute positively to the team.    Given that many mid-sized consulting firms rely on project-based work, flexible staffing solutions are also a must. A trusted and reliable staffing partner can bring forth consultants who possess the specific skills and experience required for each project. This saves time and resources for the consulting firm while ensuring project success. Staffing partners also typically take the time to understand their clients' business goals, challenges, unique needs, and growth strategies. By understanding their client through-and-through, the talent placed can become an extension of the team, ensuring proactive solutions and tailored staffing recommendations.   

Proven Experience

Over the years, we have had the opportunity to work with a handful of clients across various industries. One of these clients is Clarkston Consulting, a leading, mid-sized management consulting firm serving companies in the global life sciences, consumer products, and retail industries.

SAP and Oracle are two of the leading global ERP systems, yet for many businesses currently using Oracle systems, transitioning to SAP offers a compelling opportunity to leverage cutting-edge technology and advanced functionalities. From its integration capabilities to its industry-specific solutions, we break down seven (of the many) reasons why businesses should consider moving from Oracle to SAP to meet their ERP needs below.    

REASONS TO MOVE FROM ORACLE TO SAP

 

Superior Integration Capabilities

One of the most notable features of SAP is its robust integration capabilities. SAP offers a comprehensive suite of solutions that seamlessly integrate with various business processes. Whether it’s finance, supply chain management, human resources, or customer relationship management, SAP provides a unified platform that ensures data consistency and real-time visibility across the organization.   Oracle, while powerful, often requires extensive customization and third-party integrations to achieve the same level of seamless connectivity. In fact, when comparing SAP and Oracle’s integration and deployment capabilities, Gartner found that the companies received a 4.2 and 3.9 out of 5 respectively. Ultimately, the complexity of managing these integrations with Oracle can lead to increased costs and operational inefficiencies.   

Innovative Technology and Cloud Solutions

SAP has been at the forefront of adopting and integrating innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), as seen with SAP Business AI and Joule, in-memory computing, as seen with SAP S/4HANA, and more. SAP’s strong emphasis on cloud solutions provides organizations with the flexibility to scale their operations and adapt to changing market demands, and its cloud platform is designed to support digital transformation initiatives, offering a range of deployment options like public and private cloud. This is especially relevant as there is a rising demand for cloud software, with Gartner estimating that global spend on cloud services will reach $679 billion in 2024 alone.   Oracle, on the other hand, has been slower in its cloud adoption and innovation efforts. While Oracle Cloud has made strides, it often lags behind SAP in terms of the breadth and depth of cloud-native capabilities.   

User-Friendly Interface

SAP has made significant investments in enhancing the user experience (UX) of its applications. The SAP Fiori design language, for example, offers a modern, intuitive interface that simplifies complex tasks and improves user productivity. SAP Fiori’s role-based approach ensures that users have access to the information and functions they need, tailored to their specific roles within the organization.   In contrast, Oracle’s user interface has been criticized for being less intuitive and harder to navigate. The learning curve for new users can be steep, leading to potential inefficiencies and decreased user satisfaction.   

Advanced Analytics and Business Intelligence

SAP’s analytics and business intelligence (BI) capabilities are among the best in the industry. SAP Analytics Cloud, amongst other solutions and suites, provides real-time analytics and planning functionalities in one platform, and its integration with SAP S/4HANA allows for instant insights and data-driven decision-making.   Oracle also offers strong analytics capabilities through Oracle Analytics Cloud and other BI tools. However, SAP’s seamless integration with its core ERP system and advanced analytics features give it an edge in providing actionable insights and a holistic view of the business.   

Industry-Specific Solutions

SAP has developed a comprehensive list – nearly 30 to be exact - of industry-specific solutions tailored to the unique needs of various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, retail, life sciences, consumer products, and wholesale distribution. With the industry focus in mind, these solutions incorporate best practices and regulatory requirements, enabling organizations to achieve faster time-to-value and improved compliance. This is especially relevant for organizations in industries such as the life sciences or pharmaceuticals, where compliance is so critical.   While Oracle also offers industry solutions, SAP’s extensive portfolio and deep industry expertise make it a preferred choice for many organizations seeking tailored, out-of-the-box functionality that is unique to their industry.    

Global Support Network

The SAP partner network is extensive, providing a wealth of resources and expertise to support SAP implementations and ongoing operations. In fact, there are over 21,000 SAP partner companies around the globe. Having such a vast and widespread network further ensures that organizations can access the skills and support they need, regardless of their location.   Oracle also has a strong global presence, but SAP’s ecosystem is often regarded as more mature and expansive, offering greater opportunities for collaboration and innovation.  

ROI

When evaluating the return on investment (ROI), many organizations find that SAP offers a more favorable financial outlook. After all, Forrester research found one composite organization achieved 269% three-year ROI through investing in SAP solutions. SAP’s integrated solutions reduce the need for costly customizations and third-party applications. Additionally, the efficiencies gained through SAP’s advanced functionalities and real-time analytics can lead to significant cost savings and improved business performance.    

MOVING FROM ORACLE TO SAP: HOW TO GET STARTED

Moving from Oracle to SAP is a strategic decision that can drive significant business benefits. From superior integration capabilities and innovative technology to a user-friendly interface and advanced analytics, SAP offers a compelling value proposition for organizations looking to enhance their competitive edge.   While the transition requires careful planning and execution, the long-term benefits of adopting SAP can far outweigh the initial investment.  We can help you find the talent you need for your migration.

Integrating SAP into business operations can provide transformative benefits. However, despite its potential, SAP integrations can present numerous challenges that may hinder a company's ability to fully leverage its capabilities.   The success of an SAP integration largely hinges on the quality of the talent and team managing the project. When businesses have the right people in place, they can overcome these SAP integration challenges and unlock the true value of their investment.  Below, we outline common SAP integration challenges and what talent is best suited to overcome them.   

6 Common SAP Integration Challenges

 

Complexity

One of the biggest challenges with implementing SAP is its complexity. SAP systems cover a broad range of business functions, from finance and supply chain management to human resources and procurement. Each system and module are intricately interconnected, making SAP integration a highly sophisticated undertaking that demands a deep understanding of both its business processes and the technology.  Having a team of specialized SAP consultants and developers is crucial to navigating this complexity. A team with deep expertise in the specific SAP system being implemented can ensure that the system is configured to meet the unique needs of the business without compromising on functionality. These experts understand how to streamline workflows and processes and integrate legacy systems with SAP, making sure data flows seamlessly across various departments.  Further, experienced SAP talent can help avoid unnecessary customizations and focus on utilizing standard SAP functionalities wherever possible, ensuring smoother integration and user adoption, as well as fewer disruptions during future upgrades.   

Data Migration

Data migration is another significant challenge during SAP implementation. Businesses often have to move large volumes of data from disparate sources—such as older ERP systems or CRM systems—into SAP. The risk of data loss, duplication, or errors during this process can lead to operational inefficiencies and delays.  A team of data migration specialists can address these challenges by creating a detailed data migration strategy. These professionals are adept at data mapping, extraction, cleansing, and validation, ensuring that only accurate and relevant data is transferred to the new system. Their expertise can prevent disruptions by ensuring data integrity and minimizing the risk of costly mistakes.   Additionally, a solid talent pool can assist with establishing proper data governance frameworks and maintaining documentation to facilitate future audits and system enhancements.   

Change Management

SAP integration introduces significant changes in the way employees interact with business systems. As such, resistance to change is one of the most frequent barriers companies face. End-users, particularly those accustomed to legacy systems, may struggle to adapt to new workflows, which can slow down adoption and reduce overall productivity.  The key to overcoming this challenge is effective change management and that requires the right leadership and communication skills. Having a team of leaders who are not only SAP experts but also skilled in communication and change management is critical. These professionals can build a comprehensive change management strategy that includes end-user training and ongoing support during the transition.  Engaging employees early on in the integration process and offering hands-on training helps ensure that users are comfortable with the new system. This helps reduce resistance and promotes a smoother, more positive adoption experience.   

Customization and Configuration

Businesses often face challenges when configuring or customizing SAP to meet their specific needs. While SAP offers a wide range of customization options, excessive or incorrect customization can lead to increased costs, extended project timelines, difficulty in maintaining the system over time, and so on.  Having a balanced team that includes both technical and functional SAP experts is essential when it comes to customizations and configuration. Functional consultants understand the business requirements and can recommend ways to configure SAP in line with those needs, without over-customizing. Technical consultants, on the other hand, can manage the more complex customizations when necessary, ensuring that they are done correctly and efficiently.  By working together, these professionals can keep the project on track and reduce the need for significant rework in the future.   

Integration with Existing Systems

Integrating SAP with other legacy or third-party systems can be one of the most technically challenging aspects of an SAP implementation. Different systems may use various data formats or protocols, and SAP needs to interface seamlessly with all these systems to ensure smooth business operations.  Bringing on skilled integration architects and interface developers is vital for overcoming these technical hurdles. These individuals are responsible for designing the integration architecture that will connect SAP with other systems within the business, and they are skilled at developing interfaces using middleware solutions like SAP PI/PO. Their expertise in building robust, scalable integrations ensures that the data flows smoothly between systems, mitigating the risk of costly downtime and ensuring that business processes remain uninterrupted.   

Time and Budget

Large-scale SAP integration projects often experience delays and cost overruns due to their complexity and the unforeseen challenges that arise during implementation, as mentioned above. Without the right project management team, companies can quickly find themselves over budget or behind schedule.  A seasoned SAP project manager can help keep the integration on track, as they have experience managing large ERP implementations and are skilled at developing detailed project plans and timelines. They also know how to anticipate and manage risks, ensuring that the project stays on course.  Additionally, SAP project managers can act as business translators, serving as a bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders and ensuring that communication is clear so that expectations are set, and issues are addressed promptly.   

Next Steps 

SAP integration is a complex and often daunting task, but with the right talent in place, businesses can overcome these challenges and realize the full potential of their SAP investment. Specialized SAP consultants, data migration specialists, change management professionals, integration architects, and project managers all play critical roles in ensuring a successful implementation. By assembling a skilled and well-rounded team, businesses can navigate SAP integration challenges with agility.  For help finding your dream team, contact BCTG today.

In today’s hiring landscape, it’s vital to have a well-developed strategy for talent acquisition and retention. While the Great Resignation appears to be fading, uncertainty about the economy’s future means that a proper talent strategy should also aim to mitigate any downturns. The right talent can often be the difference between success and failure in a competitive market. In this eBook, we discuss the top mistakes to avoid when planning your talent strategy.   

Mistakes to Avoid When Planning Your Talent Strategy

 

1. Focusing Only on Hard Skills

Hiring managers often overlook soft skills, especially when looking to fill technical roles. It is key, however, for all members of a team to possess or develop skills like teamwork, creativity, and communication. The ability to effectively keep a team updated on progress and work with others bolsters productivity in any role. As such, interviews should have some measure of evaluating soft skills, and organizations should consider strategies that accommodate extra training if needed.    

 2. Lack of Diversity

DEI in the workplace is immensely important. In fact, more diverse management teams have even been shown to increase revenue by nearly 20%. This can be attributed to allowing employees to feel comfortable at work which enables better productivity and retention. Additionally, diverse backgrounds bring new perspectives to business challenges that might otherwise be overlooked.   

3. Ignoring Internal Development

Talent strategies are not just about hiring and retaining. The best strategies also include workforce development, which might include upskilling, or the process of adding new skillsets to existing employees. The benefits of training employees internally are plentiful. After all, when the company demonstrates a desire to invest in their employees, they’ll likely see benefits for retention and productivity.    

4. Overcomplicating the Hiring Process

Overly lengthy or complex hiring processes can frustrate top talent. In the worst cases, talent may simply choose not to continue should a process be too long or tedious. The best talent strategies properly balance a rigorous process with one that is streamlined and efficient. If a proper evaluation can be made in two interviews as opposed to five, then it would be best to get ahead of your competitors by making offers more quickly.

The job market is becoming increasingly selective, and candidates are facing more rejections than ever despite the employment rate being relatively low. Experts are calling this “The Great Mismatch” where there is a discrepancy between what candidates report of the market and the economic number behind it. Regardless, job rejection is something that almost every job seeker experiences, and while it can be hard to face, there are ways to benefit from rejection.   Below are a few considerations for how to handle job rejections as a job seeker:    

Reflect Constructively

After dealing with a rejection, it's easy to be reactionary and hurt. While these reactions are totally normal, it's important to keep perspective and try to take the rejection as a learning opportunity. Asking for feedback can be a great way to do this, so consider reaching out to jobs to decipher why you weren't the best candidate for them. This will give you insights on how to perform better during your next opportunity. Whether your interview skills were not the strongest or your experience wasn't aligned with what they were looking for, feedback is a great tool for improvement.    

Audit Your Search Process

Often when searching for a job, candidates look for a broad range of opportunities across various organizations – regardless of how well-suited they are for each position. Some candidates, on the other hand, can be a bit narrow-minded, only wanting to apply for positions within one specific organization. Both processes can be harmful when trying to find your perfect opportunity. For instance, candidates may have thought they would be a great fit for one role, but at second glance, their background doesn't really align with the demands of the role. Candidates could also limit themselves by putting all their time and energy into one organization. These job search methods may be influencing these rejections, which is why it’s important to consider all options that fit your background best. As such, auditing your search process could improve your chances of getting more quality and fitting opportunities, making those rejection emails less common.    

Stay Persistent

Job rejections can be difficult to manage, and they can even make you want to give up finding a job altogether. In the US alone, 7.2% of the unemployed population is made up of discouraged workers, or workers who feel as if they can't find a job, so they give up trying. When dealing with rejection, it’s important to remember there are hundreds of thousands of different organizations and opportunities. One job rejection is not reflective of your abilities, it’s just an opportunity to improve before your next interview. After receiving a job rejection, remember it's okay to feel upset; however, don't let it stop you from finding your dream job.   

Looking Ahead

Looking for a job can be a long, tough, and tedious process; however, it comes with great reward when you do find the right opportunity. As such, learning how to persevere through job rejections and the ups and downs of the job market is so important to the process. When searching for a job, rejection is inevitable, but learning how to work through it will be worth it in the end.   For more guidance on the current job market and candidate outlooks, contact BCTG for expert opinions.     Contributions from Leah Harding

When it comes to temporary staffing, onboarding temp talent can be a unique process. Temporary staffing can be a great option for businesses as it allows flexibility and support when teams need it most. Oftentimes companies use temporary staff in their busy seasons when they are feeling overwhelmed, meaning they need support quickly. As such, seamlessly and efficiently onboarding your temporary staff is critical to boost productivity and make the most out of your temporary hires.  Below are a few considerations for best practices when gearing up to onboard your temporary hires:   

Best Practices for Onboarding Temp Talent

 

Preparation & Instruction

Preparation is a key part of onboarding as you need to make sure the existing team is receptive and ready for the temporary employees to take on their roles. As such, making sure you have specified roles and expectations for each team member will make the transition smooth. For example, if temporary staff is joining to help with an SAP implementation, managers should designate each team member with a task in the project such as coding or change management, etc.   Don’t forget to make sure that the new team members have all the resources they need for the project at hand. Arrange for password and system access so that information can be readily accessed to the new members.   

Job-Specific Training & Orientation Materials

Temporary employees typically have a specific goal to accomplish during their time, like helping build a new c-suite team or implementing a new ERP system. Therefore, creating trainings that apply specifically to that role is the best way for them to get their information quickly. As these employees are often brought on to complete a specific project, informing them of the inner workings of every department may not be the most time effective onboarding process. Although debriefing permanent hires on the full picture of the organization is standard and necessary, it's important to remember that some details could be irrelevant to temporary workers. Training temporary workers on the software, tools, policies, and team members that they will be directly working with instead will inform them of the most critical information relevant to their job.   

Team Integration

Team integration is so important, not only for permanent hires but also for temporary employees, as good team dynamics are critical when trying to meet a deadline. Organizing a mentorship program or assigning team members to help temporary employees integrate into the team could be extremely helpful. While temporary employees may feel like outsiders to team members that have been a part of an organization for years, the whole team, including the temporary employees, are all working towards a common goal and searching for ways to better the organization. Make sure you emphasize the importance of communication and reiterate each team member's unique roles and responsibilities to ensure the transition will be smooth and effective. This can be initiated through introductions and team bonding exercises and carried out with regular check-in and consistent feedback.    

Looking Ahead

Temporary employees can bring great benefits to your organization with specialized skills and flexibility. However, ensuring that you are getting your full value from temporary staff starts with the onboarding process. It is essential that your current team members and the temporary staff you are bringing on are well-equipped and prepared for the transition.   For more guidance and information on how to onboard your temporary employees, contact experts at BCTG for help.      Contributions from Leah Harding
Mid-size consulting firms often find themselves wedged between larger, well-established players and smaller, more niche competitors. While large firms have the resources and brand recognition, and boutique firms can focus on specialized and niche markets, mid-size firms must carve out a unique position between the two.   The best way to do this? Talent management. By taking a three-phased approach and prioritizing the right strategies for (1) attracting, (2) developing, and (3) retaining top talent, mid-size consulting firms can not only stand out but also deliver exceptional value to clients.  We break down this three-phased approach to talent management for mid-size consulting firms below.   

Phase 1: Attract Talent

The ability to attract high-quality talent is foundational to any firm’s success. For mid-size consulting firms, this starts with positioning themselves as a career destination where employees can grow and advance in their careers, develop new skills, make lasting connections, and take on meaningful work. Here are just two examples of how to achieve this:    

Company Culture

While the consulting industry is notorious for long hours and a high-pressure environment, mid-size firms can differentiate themselves by fostering a more supportive work culture. Emphasizing work-life balance and employee well-being in recruitment messaging can be a powerful tool for attracting talent. Millennials and Gen Z professionals, in particular, value employers who prioritize flexibility and a positive work environment. Firms that emphasize corporate social responsibility, DEI, as well as community involvement, can also appeal to socially conscious candidates.   

Innovation

Investing in cutting-edge tools and technologies can also give mid-size consulting firms an edge when attracting talent. Tech-savvy professionals, especially in IT and SAP, are looking for firms that are ahead of the curve in using innovative technologies. By integrating advanced analytics, AI, ML, and cloud-based solutions, firms can demonstrate a forward-thinking approach that appeals to top-tier, tech-driven consultants.   

Phase 2: Develop Talent

Once top talent is onboard, the next step is investing in their development. Mid-size consulting firms can stand out by providing opportunities for employees to grow and develop in ways that are often overlooked by larger firms. For instance:   

Training

While large firms may offer extensive training, these programs are often standardized across large cohorts. Mid-size firms, on the other hand, can create tailored training programs that meet the specific needs and career goals of individual employees. For example, instead of offering generic leadership training, a mid-size firm can design leadership workshops that align directly with the firm’s culture and strategy.   

Mentorship

Mid-size consulting firms can further develop their talent by focusing on mentorship and mentorship and coaching. Pairing junior consultants with senior leaders not only helps accelerate skill development but also fosters stronger relationships within the firm. These relationships can create a sense of belonging, ensuring that employees feel valued and supported throughout their careers. These programs can also help employees navigate the challenges of client work or personal career development. The one-on-one attention that a mid-size firm can offer is a significant advantage compared to the impersonal development systems often found in larger firms.   

Cross-Functional and Cross-Industry Experience

Leveraging their size, mid-size firms can offer consultants more cross-functional and cross-industry experience. Unlike large firms, where consultants might become siloed within a single practice area, mid-size firms often operate with greater fluidity. This diversity in work helps employees develop a broad skill set and build strong problem-solving capabilities, making them more valuable to clients and more satisfied in their roles.   

Phase 3: Retain Talent

Attracting and developing talent is only half the battle—mid-size consulting firms must also focus on retention to avoid losing their best people to competitors. Employee turnover can be costly, not only in terms of recruitment expenses but also in the potential loss of client relationships and institutional knowledge. Consider these two factors to help with retention:   

Career Growth

One of the most common reasons consultants leave their firms is the lack of a clear career path. Firms can counter this by implementing well-defined promotion criteria and offering frequent opportunities for upward mobility. Transparent communication regarding career progression can keep employees motivated and invested in the firm’s future.  Moreover, providing options for moves into different practice areas or geographic regions can keep employees engaged, especially if they feel stagnant in their current roles. Giving consultants the opportunity to explore different paths within the firm can reduce burnout and increase retention.   

Flexibility

The rise of remote work has changed the consulting landscape, and firms can stand out by offering flexible work arrangements. By allowing consultants to work remotely or offering flexible schedules, firms can cater to employees’ personal preferences while maintaining high productivity levels. This can significantly improve work-life balance and boost employee satisfaction.   

Manage Your Talent with BCTG

Talent management for mid-size consulting firms is more than just an HR function.

Many organizations face significant challenges in managing the recruitment process in-house. The rapid evolution of technology, growing talent shortages in specific industries, increasing complexity of workforce needs, and more have made recruitment an intricate and time-consuming process. To overcome these hurdles, many companies are turning to Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO).  RPO is a form of business process outsourcing where an organization transfers all or part of its recruitment processes to an external provider, such as a staffing and recruiting firm. RPO providers take on the responsibility of managing the recruitment process, from talent sourcing and screening to interviewing and onboarding. By leveraging the expertise of RPO providers, companies can streamline their recruitment efforts while shifting focus onto other core business functions.  Outsourcing your recruiting needs is not only scalable but it also provides access to new, untapped talent. Below are five key benefits of RPO and why it has become a go-to solution for companies looking to build a stellar recruitment strategy.   

Benefits of RPO

 

Cost Efficiency

Managing recruitment in-house can be expensive due to the costs associated with advertising job openings, investing in recruitment technologies, and maintaining a dedicated team. RPO providers, with their specialized expertise and resources, can reduce these costs. RPO providers can also negotiate better deals on job boards and assessments thanks to their buying power. Additionally, the pricing model for RPO is typically transparent, meaning that companies know exactly what they are paying for, eliminating unexpected expenses.   

Time-to-Hire

Time-to-hire is a crucial metric for any business; prolonged vacancy periods can negatively impact productivity and revenue. RPO providers are laser-focused on recruitment, and they’re equipped with the resources and processes needed to fill positions quickly without sacrificing quality. An RPO provider can source and vet candidates quickly and efficiently, which drastically reduces the time-to-hire and helps businesses maintain productivity.  

Candidate Experience

Candidates now have higher expectations when it comes to their job search and recruitment experience. A poor recruitment process can tarnish a company's employer brand, making it more difficult to attract talent in the future. RPO providers are well-versed in delivering a seamless and positive candidate experience, from initial contact to final onboarding. This helps to ensure that candidates feel valued and engaged throughout the process, helping to secure top candidates.   

Continuous Improvement

By monitoring key recruitment metrics such as time-to-fill and cost-per-hire, RPO providers can identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions to enhance recruitment outcomes. Additionally, RPO providers often implement continuous improvement strategies, such as refining job descriptions and adjusting interview techniques based on performance data so that recruitment efforts are always evolving to meet changing business needs and market conditions.   

Compliance and Risk Mitigation

Recruitment in any industry is subject to various legal and regulatory requirements that can be challenging for internal teams to navigate. RPO providers, especially those that are industry-specific, have a deep understanding of labor laws, regulations, and compliance standards. With this knowledge, they’re able to verify that all recruitment processes are compliant with relevant legislation, reducing the risk of legal disputes or penalties. RPO providers can also manage the complexities of global recruitment, including visa processes and background checks, making them an invaluable resource for companies expanding into international markets.   

Final Thoughts

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) offers a range of benefits that go beyond cost savings. From access to specialized talent and improved time-to-hire to enhanced scalability and compliance, RPO providers bring expertise and efficiency to the recruitment process. As companies face increasing pressure to attract and retain top talent, partnering with an RPO provider, like BCTG, can be game-changing.  Contact us today to get started.

With companies increasingly adopting SAP systems to manage their business processes, the demand for SAP-certified professionals is on the rise. Whether you’re an IT professional looking to specialize or a seasoned consultant aiming to boost your credentials, choosing the right SAP certification is key to advancing your career.  Below, we walk through how to select the best SAP certification for your career path based on your experience level, career-focus, professional goals, and the industry demand for specific SAP skills.   

Knowing Where to Start

SAP certifications are offered in several different categories, corresponding to different modules, systems, specializations, and experience levels. Broadly, they are classified into three levels: Associate, Specialist, and Professional.  The first step is understanding where you currently stand. Your level of experience and job role will heavily influence this.   

For Beginners

If you’re new to the SAP ecosystem, start with an associate-level certification. These are ideal for beginners or those with little or no SAP experience. These certifications demonstrate a basic understanding of SAP concepts and are a steppingstone toward deeper knowledge. The SAP Certified Application Associate certification is a solid foundation in specific SAP modules like SAP HANA.    

For Mid-Level Professionals

If you have a few years of experience in the SAP environment, a specialist-level certification might be more appropriate. This level focuses on specific areas within SAP, offering expertise in niche roles or modules, which is often a good option for professionals looking to specialize in certain SAP areas. You can narrow your focus to areas such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud or specific industries like retail.    

For Senior Professionals

If you have significant experience in SAP implementations and are aiming for leadership roles, a professional-level certification is your best bet. These are targeted at experienced SAP professionals and demonstrate advanced knowledge and practical experience in implementing SAP solutions. Certifications such as SAP Certified Technology Professional or SAP Certified Development Specialist are two such examples.  Remember: SAP certifications, while highly valuable, are not cheap. Associate-level certifications typically cost around $500, while Specialist and Professional certifications can range between $600 and $1,000. However, these costs are often worth it due to the high return on investment.   

Choosing a Certification Based on Industry Demand

To maximize your return on investment, we recommend selecting a certification that aligns with industry trends and high-demand areas. Here are a few hot topics and certifications with consistent and/or growing relevance:   

SAP S/4HANA

As SAP transitions its customer base from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, S/4 certifications are becoming increasingly popular. S/4HANA focuses on real-time analytics and in-memory computing, making it a hot skillset to have. Specific certifications include:    

SAP Certified Associate  

 

SAP Certified Specialist 

 

SAP SuccessFactors

SAP SuccessFactors is a human resources solution that focuses on core HR functions like payroll and employee performance. Certifications in SAP SuccessFactors demonstrate expertise in managing HR processes within the SAP ecosystem, which is particularly valuable in large organizations. Certifications include:   

SAP Certified Associate  

 

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)

As SAP accelerates its shift to cloud-based solutions, SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) certifications are gaining traction among professionals. SAP BTP is a platform that emphasizes seamless integration, data management, advanced analytics, and more, all within the cloud environment. It also has new AI-integrated features, making it even more valuable. Some SAP BTP certifications include:   

SAP Certified Professional 

 

SAP Ariba

For professionals working in procurement and supply chain, SAP Ariba certifications can significantly boost career prospects. SAP Ariba focuses on optimizing procurement processes, helping companies streamline supplier collaboration and reduce costs. SAP Ariba-related certifications to consider include:   

SAP Certified Associate  

 

Considering Future Career Goals

Choosing the right SAP certification can be a career-defining decision. It’s important to align your certification choice with your current experience level and career goals, as well as industry demand. Ask yourself: Do I want to specialize or stay broad? Am I aiming for a leadership role? Do I plan to shift industries? How you answer these questions will impact the certification you choose to pursue. By making the right choice, you can increase your earning potential and ensure a successful career in the SAP ecosystem.  If you’re an SAP consultant looking for your next role, check out our open positions here!

Reference checks are often the final yet critical step in the hiring process. But what do they really mean? Why do they matter so much? And how can they be leveraged effectively? This eBook unpacks the answers to these questions, offering a holistic view of why reference checks matter from three key perspectives: the candidate, the employer, and the reference.  For employers, reference checks are an opportunity to validate skills, confirm culture fit, and reduce the risk of costly hiring mistakes. For candidates, they are a chance to reinforce their personal brand and ensure their professional reputation speaks volumes even when they’re not in the room. And for references, this process provides a platform to support and advocate for someone while offering valuable insights to prospective employers.  Each of these roles is integral to the process, and understanding their interplay can transform a standard reference check into a powerful tool for informed decision-making. Whether you’re an HR professional, a job seeker, or someone offering a reference, this eBook will equip you with the knowledge to navigate this often-overlooked step with confidence and purpose.   

The Candidate's Perspective 

You've nailed the interview. Now, all that's left is the dreaded reference check. While it might seem like an afterthought, reference checks are actually a crucial part of the hiring process – and they benefit candidates just as much as employers.  While often viewed as a formality for job seekers, reference checks are a powerful tool that can significantly impact your career trajectory. Beyond serving as a mere verification of your resume, they offer a multitude of benefits that can propel you forward in your job search.   

Building Trust and Credibility 

First and foremost, reference checks help to solidify your professional reputation. When a potential employer contacts your references, they're essentially conducting a character investigation. Positive feedback from former employers and colleagues can significantly boost your credibility and make you a more attractive candidate.   Standing out in the job market is crucial, and a strong reference can differentiate you from other candidates and make you a more compelling choice for potential employers.

A competitive business rarely stays stagnant. Rather, your company should be constantly seeking new ways to optimize performance, seize opportunities, and adapt to changes. Equally important to adapting to change is having sound, established business processes. However, transformation initiatives, especially an ERP implementation, can put these concepts at distinct odds. How do we establish robust business processes and also remain agile? How do we get everyone onboard with the systems and processes so they don’t naturally revert back to more comfortable old habits? If an organization values flexibility, will they resist new processes altogether? We believe you can do both – adopt solid business processes and manage them in a way that ensures scalability well into the future to maximize the ROI of your ERP investment.   

Business Process Maintenance for Long-Term Value

During the process of an ERP implementation, the project team will rightfully be focused on the plan and deliverables to achieve a successful go-live and post-production support. We see beautiful go-live count-down clocks and go-live celebrations that all imply the work is over when the system turns on. When it comes to maximizing the ROI on your ERP investment, however, we believe you should be thinking well past your go-live. Thinking through business process ownership after go-live will truly transform your business and take post-production support to a whole new level.   Business processes are the backbone of any ERP implementation. They should be properly documented, trained, and reinforced with business users. These processes also require consistent maintenance, governance, and improvement over time. That enhancement log that was growing through the implementation will drive some of the need for process change; as will system upgrades and evolving business needs. This ongoing attention to business processes is the only way to drive sustained success – and to truly get the value from your organization’s investment in ERP.     

Have the Right People in Place to Lead

The key to driving consistent maintenance and improvement is establishing strong ownership and governance of business processes. Long after your post-production support has ended, the system and processes will continue to adapt and evolve, with cross-functional impact.   It’s important to create a governance team with a focus on business process ownership who can:   When a governance team is cross-functionally represented, they can properly execute improvements to the system, processes, or data according to business needs. The team should also have executive sponsors who can help adjust business priorities, seek buy-in, and pull in additional resources when required. The team will establish the priorities and requirements to drive continuous improvement and ensure your ERP system grows with your business.     Business process ownership is also a vital asset to M&A integration efforts. When the company acquires a new business, this team can help to assess the gap to bringing any new business onto the system and efforts around change management and training.   An ERP implementation is not “one size fits all” and will look different across organizations. Different businesses with different needs and maturity will have to adapt their own individual strategy using this framework.  Effective business process ownership and governance requires clear, consistent messaging, access to information, and supporting resources. It also requires two-way communication structures for sharing feedback regarding what is or isn’t working. Good change management will deepen and quicken adoption, therefore enabling a better return on investment.    

Best Practices to Maximize the ROI on Your ERP Investment

Below we outline three best practices for business process ownership with your ERP investment:    

Flexibility

Ensure your strategy offers enough flexibility so that it can be adjusted as your business needs to change and grow. Governance is a long-term journey, and the team will find they need to adjust their ways of working to fit new situations and adjust to new variables.    

Transparency

Transparent communication is key to success. Provide all levels of the organization clear visibility into the priorities, changes, and improvements being assessed. Ensure the change management process is well-defined and embedded in your strategy.  Clearly communicate goals, progress, and expectations to the business.    

Cross-functional Collaboration

On-going cross-functional documentation and education will help to bridge learning gaps, increase efficiency, and grow expertise across all business operations. It’s important to plan and allocate adequate resources to manage change requests, address systemic issues, and provide necessary changes to all core functional areas.    

Final Thoughts

Business owners must keep in mind that the organization’s needs change with time, as do customer demands. The software you choose to implement must be adaptable and flexible to change, in addition to having an organized approach to maintain and improve these systems as your business grows. Implementing a new ERP is a major undertaking regardless of the size of your organization, but with proper planning and the right investment in business process ownership, your company can get the most out of your ERP system for years to come.   Reach out to BCTG today.

As businesses continue to embrace digital transformation, cloud adoption has become a critical component for achieving agility and scalability. SAP offers robust cloud services designed to streamline business operations and drive innovation – from SAP Customer Experience (CX) to SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR). However, transitioning to the cloud with SAP involves several key considerations to ensure a smooth and successful adoption.    We explore some key considerations for successful SAP cloud adoption in the retail industry below.    

CONSIDERATIONS FOR SAP CLOUD ADOPTION

 

Objectives and Strategy

Before embarking on your SAP cloud adoption journey, it's essential to define your objectives clearly. What are the primary goals you aim to achieve? Whether it's reducing costs, enhancing flexibility, improving performance, or enabling innovation, having a clear vision will guide your strategy and decision-making process. Your strategy should align with your overall business goals and include a phased approach to manage risk and complexity as well.    

SAP Cloud Solutions

SAP offers a range of cloud solutions, including SAP S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, GROW with SAP, SAP Ariba, and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). Evaluating which solutions align best with your business needs is crucial. Consider factors such as scalability, functionality, integration, and compliance. Can the solution scale with your business growth? Does it meet your specific business requirements? How well does it integrate with your existing systems? Does it adhere to industry standards? Choosing the right solutions as a retailer will significantly impact the success of your cloud adoption.    

Your Current IT Landscape

A thorough assessment of your current IT landscape is vital. This includes evaluating your existing infrastructure, applications, data, and processes. Understanding your starting point helps in identifying potential challenges and areas that require special attention during migration. Consider creating an inventory of your existing systems and determine which ones need to be migrated, updated, or retired. This assessment will also help in planning resource allocation and ensuring that critical business functions are not disrupted during the transition.   

Data Management and Security

Data is the lifeblood of any business and managing it effectively during cloud adoption with SAP is critical. As such, organizations must develop a comprehensive data management strategy that addresses data migration, data security, data governance, and compliance. Organizations should:   A strong focus on data management and security will safeguard your retail business against potential risks.    

Change Management and Training

Adopting cloud solutions involves significant changes in how your organization operates. Effective change management is key in ensuring a smooth transition and acceptance among your employees. This requires retailers to clearly communicate the benefits and changes to all stakeholders and provide comprehensive training to employees to ensure they are comfortable and proficient with the new systems. Establishing a support system to address any issues or concerns that arise during and after the transition has also proven to be effective, as engaging your workforce and addressing their concerns proactively will foster a positive attitude towards the change.    

Experienced SAP Consultants

Partnering with experienced SAP consultants can significantly ease the cloud adoption process. These experts bring valuable insights, industry and technical expertise, and best practices to the table, ensuring a smoother and more efficient transition. They can assist with strategy development, managing the technical aspects of migration and integration, and providing ongoing support and optimization services post-adoption. Choosing the right partner can make a substantial difference in the success of your cloud adoption journey.    

Continuous Monitoring and Optimization

Cloud adoption is not a one-time project but an ongoing process. Continuous monitoring and optimization are necessary to ensure that your SAP cloud solutions deliver maximum value. Once solutions have been implemented, remember to regularly track and analyze system performance to identify and address any issues and monitor usage and costs to optimize resource allocation and reduce expenses. Above all, stay updated with the latest features and enhancements from SAP to continuously improve your system. An experienced SAP partner can help with this as well.   

GETTING STARTED

The considerations for SAP cloud adoption include careful planning, strategic decision-making, and ongoing management. By defining clear objectives, choosing the right solutions, assessing your IT landscape, focusing on data management, implementing effective change management, partnering with experienced consultants, and committing to continuous optimization, you can unlock the full potential of SAP's cloud offerings and drive your retail business forward.  Ready to get started?

The consulting industry is undergoing significant shifts in staffing. As client needs become more specialized, especially in the realm of technology, firms must adapt their staffing models to keep pace. Understanding these trends is crucial for firms aiming to stay competitive in this demanding environment.   In this eBook, we break down 2025 staffing trends in consulting in response to changes in industry dynamics, the availability of work, and the types of projects that are in high demand.   

2025 STAFFING TRENDS IN CONSULTING

 

Specializations

In recent years, consulting has seen a shift towards a greater demand for specialized skills. Clients are searching for consultants who offer deep expertise in emerging fields like cybersecurity and sustainability. Sustainability consulting, for example, is expected to grow at a 27% CAGR. This may be an indication that the industry is moving away from its traditional generalist model and toward one of specialists with niche knowledge. Consequently, consulting firms may respond by hiring candidates with specific, highly sought-after skills to meet these evolving demands.   

Technological Development

Another major influence on staffing in the consulting industry is technological development. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data analytics, and automation is changing the needs of many businesses. As a result, candidates who have technical expertise or experience with these tools are in high demand. In fact, 92% of CIOs anticipate AI being integrated into their organizations by 2025. Where previous engagements may have been general or open-ended, there is a growing shift toward heavily technical cases–especially for technology implementations.   

Economic Uncertainty

Recent economic uncertainty, given the election and fears of recession, has also played a significant role in the type of work that clients request. Firms must be both cautious and strategic in how they allocate resources for consulting services as the Federal Reserve balances interest rates. Periods of financial uncertainty such as this often generate higher demand for services in cost management, financial restructuring, and operational efficiency.    

Sustainability

Regardless of the economy, firms will continue to face stakeholder pressure about their ESG efforts. With that in mind, sustainability-focused consulting is rapidly expanding. Firms are hiring consultants with backgrounds in environmental sciences and policy as well as corporate sustainability to advise on how to integrate sustainable practices without sacrificing profitability. After all, consumers are willing to pay nearly a 10% premium for more sustainable goods and services. This ESG work and demand for talent can only be expected to grow as climate pressures increase.

The hybrid work model quickly became popular as the means to adapt to the pandemic. However, over 95% of employees prefer to work at home at least part of the time even now as the pandemic restrictions have long been lifted.  Throughout 2025, the hybrid work model is expected to remain a popular choice, with many companies and employees citing higher workplace satisfaction and morale as a result. But businesses will likely be looking for more ways to still promote a positive company culture without returning to the office entirely. In-person meetings, enhanced online communication platforms, and virtual bonding opportunities will likely continue to be utilized as tools to bring a hybrid workplace together.   

Employee-Centric Wellness Programs

The pandemic highlighted the importance of physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, causing business to invest more in employee wellness initiatives to promote holistic health. As a result, employers are continuing to offer more individualized wellness programs, mental health days off, and proactive health management solutions.  This increased focus on tailored support and workplace wellness is not only fostering healthier employees but also boosting morale and overall workplace satisfaction.
