Question 1

How quickly can I hire an SAP contractor on consultant.dev?

Accepted Answer

SAP contractor roles typically fill within 1-2 weeks. The SAP contractor market is large and specialised by module, specifying the module (SAP S/4HANA, SAP Finance/FICO, SAP HR/SuccessFactors, SAP SCM, SAP SD/MM) and implementation phase (blueprint, build, go-live, support) in your brief is essential for attracting the right profile.

Question 2

What should I look for when hiring an SAP contractor?

Accepted Answer

SAP expertise is highly module-specific, an FICO contractor and an SCM contractor are different profiles entirely. Verify S/4HANA experience vs legacy ECC, as these require different skill sets. For implementation programmes, check full lifecycle experience (blueprint to go-live) not just one phase. ABAP development contractors require different assessment than functional consultants. Always ask for specific client references for SAP implementations of comparable scale.

Question 3

What contract lengths are typical for SAP contractors?

Accepted Answer

SAP contractor engagements are among the longest in enterprise IT, 12-36 months for full SAP S/4HANA implementations is common. Smaller support and optimisation programmes run 3-6 months. Post-go-live hypercare and stabilisation typically adds 3-6 months. Define the programme phase and expected transition to BAU clearly, SAP contractors are expensive to replace mid-programme, so managing knowledge transfer early is critical.
