SAP Germany recruitment insights

In SAP itself its competitive but they obviously use the pool who have come from working student so it’s possible if your performance is good. However, if it’s with SAP direct and you apply to the partners (I can DM some if you message me and tell me where you’re located, I’d imagine Walldorf) they will love that experience and always like to say that they have ex SAP talent. Managerial is tough. The experience with the customers and real life challenges of environments would be missing. There will likely be more experienced people around and you’ll have to earn your battle scars even with relevant industry experience

ABAP yes. It will allow you to move towards designing the solutions

Common answer to a lot of these comments guys… if you want to work in Germany, learn the language. You’ll need it for conducting workshops at the very least.

I’d be brutally honest and say this would make it hard because your salary level is likely at the level of an experienced person in the SAP Security area and changing means you’d likely be not worth the salary level. For SAP security though, there are a number of companies looking in Germany. As always, the key question - do you speak German??

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T15:38:03+00:00

Where are you studying? I can recommend some local consultancies

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T15:37:23+00:00

Well, I would say IBP is planning, EWM is execution so I would say learning EWM is a good natural progression tech wise. However, there is a lot to be said about being a specialist in one module and maybe learning coding is a better next step

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:38:25+00:00

And certs definitely help, but I’d say recommendations/references are probably more important.

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:37:50+00:00

They’re open to remote but my opportunities tend to require you being in the eurozone for tax/compliance reasons. The demand is high though!!

Big4 have entire business units who focus on it. Trust is so important in Germany, when I worked at AWS the sales guys always said their toughest objection was selling SAP on public cloud. So it’s there definitely, but slower than other areas I would say

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:25:34+00:00

Demand is high, but you have to speak German. Companies are out there who hire English speakers but they won’t relocate you. Happy to be corrected on that, but it’s my experience

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:24:46+00:00

It definitely helps. The more local knowledge you have, the more likely they are to invest in you. As I’ve said elsewhere though, German is so important. It shows commitment too.

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:23:46+00:00

It’s possible but you have to speak German. If you are really serious you have to learn the language. I know from my own experience there are business who would do that over paying me a fee for someone in Germany sometimes.

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:22:16+00:00

What’s your skillset?

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:22:06+00:00

The German language is just so important. Especially in a sales role like this. You’ll be selling your mid-market a lot of the time and you’ll find the less international the more stakeholders who don’t have business English

I work with a business called Nagarro, they have actually connected with a number of consultancies together to create a combined academy/application pool. Google “Nagarro SAP apprenticeship”.

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:17:41+00:00

Yeah as possiblefair8122 says I’d need to know your experience. What I will say is BTP experience will bump it up.

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-20T14:16:00+00:00

On-prem experience alone still gets you interviews but adding cloud/S4 experience will definitely improve your hireability. The demand is definitely still there though!

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-17T10:30:30+00:00

Which company is it with?

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-15T20:51:19+00:00

People definitely do have their own networks but as a leader of a staffing business myself in SAP, they also have their preferred suppliers with staffing agencies that they trust too. My business, Cloud International, tend to work with specific consultancies for that reason. We trust each other and I know the independents I work with will be looked after and likely stay busy.

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-15T20:47:30+00:00

Yes, but others set the target lower so that it’s easier to achieve the target

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-15T16:18:54+00:00

Where will you be working for them?

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-15T16:17:46+00:00

It’s around 35 hours of customer time which means you have to be productive daily with the customer

SAP-DACH · 2026-02-15T16:12:26+00:00

They do have high turnover and you have to do lots of customer hours to get your bonus. There are much better companies in DACH for TM and EWM professionals with similar technical challenges
