Why Choose JRG Partners for SAP Executive Search
Finding the right SAP executive requires more than scanning résumés — it demands a partner who understands the intersection of ERP technology, enterprise change management, and strategic leadership. JRG Partners delivers this advantage through:
Deep SAP Domain Expertise
We are not generalist recruiters. Our SAP search practice focuses exclusively on leadership talent in ERP transformation and optimization. This specialization allows us to identify executives who combine technical SAP mastery with business acumen to drive transformation, user adoption, and operational excellence.
An Unrivaled Network of Passive SAP Leaders
The best SAP leaders are often fully engaged in high-value projects and not actively job-hunting. Our network gives you access to these passive, proven executives — professionals unavailable through job boards or public postings.
Focus on Strategic & Visionary Leadership
We assess more than technical SAP credentials. Our evaluation process identifies leaders who can shape long-term ERP strategy, build high-performing global teams, integrate emerging technologies (AI, automation, analytics), and deliver enterprise-wide impact.
A Rigorous & Confidential Search Process
We approach every SAP executive search with discretion and precision. By understanding your company’s culture, strategic objectives, and ERP roadmap, we ensure a perfect alignment between candidate and organization.

Our Proven SAP Executive Search Process
Placing a key SAP executive is a mission-critical investment. JRG Partners’ SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA Platform executive search process is built as a thorough, consultative, and customized partnership — reducing hiring risk and ensuring a leader who can deliver transformation success and long-term value.
Whether your organization relies on ERP systems or Enterprise Resource Planning solutions, our expertise spans the full suite of SAP technologies, including SAP Business Suite, SAP Business One, and SAP Business ByDesign. We also evaluate candidates’ proficiency across core SAP modules, ensuring they can seamlessly navigate, optimize, and integrate your SAP environment from day one.
Step 1: Discovery & Strategic Alignment Session
We start with a deep-dive consultation to understand your SAP environment, project roadmap, and organizational culture. From S/4HANA migration strategies to multi-country rollouts, we identify the leadership competencies required and create a detailed Position Specification document that serves as the blueprint for the search.
Step 2: In-Depth Market Mapping & Candidate Identification
Using our proprietary network and original research, we discreetly map the SAP talent market to uncover top-performing executives — including passive candidates currently leading high-impact ERP initiatives who are not actively seeking a new role.
Step 3: Rigorous Vetting & Competency-Based Interviews
Our multi-stage evaluation process assesses each candidate’s SAP domain expertise, program delivery experience, change management capability, and strategic leadership skills. We also evaluate their track record in delivering measurable business value from SAP investments.
Step 4: Presentation of a Curated Shortlist
Only the most qualified, culturally aligned, and transformation-ready executives are presented in a curated shortlist of 3–5 top-tier candidates. Each profile includes their SAP leadership background, major project achievements, and an in-depth analysis of their fit for your organization.
Step 5: Interview Management & Offer Facilitation
We act as your dedicated partner throughout the interview process — coordinating schedules, gathering feedback, conducting reference checks, and facilitating offer negotiations to secure the ideal SAP leader for your business.
Step 6: Post-Placement Integration & Long-Term Partnership
Our commitment doesn’t end with the signed offer. We maintain ongoing contact with both you and the new SAP executive to ensure a smooth onboarding process, effective integration, and long-term success in your ERP initiatives.
