Independent SAP Technical Quality Gate

Reduce SAP hiring risk before it reaches delivery.

Independent technical validation for critical SAP roles —
when CVs and interviews are not enough.

THE PROBLEM

Most SAP hiring failures don’t start in delivery.
They start much earlier — with:

  • impressive CVs
  • confident interviews
  • pressure to hire fast

What gets missed is how a person actually performs when:

  • requirements are unclear
  • stakeholders disagree
  • delivery pressure increases

That gap is where false positives enter SAP projects —
and where escalations usually begin.

THE SOLUTION

I act as an independent SAP technical quality gate.

My role is simple:
to help decision-makers make safe hiring and staffing decisions
before they become expensive delivery problems.

I am not involved in delivery.
I don’t sell staffing or resources.

I am paid to give an independent judgment —
including saying no when needed.

CORE SERVICES

Pre-Hire Technical Validation

Independent technical interview and assessment of a single candidate.

Outcome:

  • clear hire / no-hire / conditional recommendation
  • written summary for decision-makers

Typical use:

  • senior SAP roles
  • high delivery risk
  • limited room for error

Shortlist Technical Validation

Technical comparison of multiple candidates against a clear technical bar.

Outcome:

  • ranked shortlist
  • defensible hiring decision
  • reduced escalation risk

Typical use:

  • conflicting internal opinions
  • time pressure
  • previous mis-hires

Executive Second Opinion

Independent review of a hiring or staffing decision before commitment.

Outcome:

  • clarity for leadership
  • confirmation or early correction
  • confidence to proceed — or stop

Typical use:

  • high-visibility roles
  • critical SAP programs
  • escalated situations

WHEN THIS MAKES SENSE AND WHY INDEPENDENT

WHEN THIS MAKES SENSE

My work is most relevant when:

  • a wrong SAP decision would cost months, not days
  • replacing a role later would be painful
  • delivery credibility is at stake
  • there has already been a mis-hire or escalation

If hiring fast matters more than hiring safely,
I am probably not the right fit.

WHY INDEPENDENT

no conflict of interest

  • no delivery responsibility
  • no pressure to “close” a role

I focus on decision quality, not execution volume.

After 26 years in SAP delivery — across implementations, transformations, and escalations —
this is where I create the most value.

OPTIONAL EXECUTION SUPPORT

Some clients ask for help implementing the validated decision
(e.g. sourcing or recruiting support).

This is optional and available only after technical validation,
and only for selected roles.
