Faced challenges
—
In this project with SAP, HRForecast developed a labor market and competitor radar for the creation of strategic insights for the recruiting, development and technology strategy of Europe’s largest and leading software company. Facing a dynamic business environment driven by technological changes, the aim of the project was to assess the current market situation in the war for talents with focus on strategic workforce levers in recruiting and development.
Further requirement was gaining a global overview of ‘hot and trending’ skills, the geographical hot-spots and the competitor demand situation.
Questions to be clarified
—
- Which skills are key competitors and other players seeking?
- Where are geographical skill hot-spots located?
- Which sourcing strategies are employed by the market players?
- Does SAP miss-out on any major skills?
- What can be derived from the insights for SAP’s sourcing and development strategies?
