Hiring a Temporary SAP Resource from Three Perspectives
- April 27, 2023
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.
