  • Solving the #1 Growth Blocker for SAP Partners & SaaS Companies: Finding Technical Talent That Actually Delivers
  • If you're an SAP Implementation Partner struggling to staff S/4HANA transformations, or a SaaS company burning cash on sales hires who don't close you're not alone.
  • The GCC talent market is broken. Generic recruiters send "SAP FICO" profiles without understanding MM-SD integration or the difference between BTP and Fiori.
  • I built Brance Global's SAP & GTM practice to fix that.
  • What We Actually Do:
  • ✔ SAP Hiring: Source S/4HANA consultants, Solution Architects, ABAP/Fiori developers, Basis admins—pre-screened on technical depth, certifications, and project complexity
  • ✔ GTM Hiring: Build predictable sales pipelines—AEs, SDRs, Sales Engineers—qualified on quota attainment, deal cycle velocity, and vertical expertise
  • ✔ Market Intelligence: Real-time salary benchmarks, competitor talent moves, certification trends, and module demand shifts across GCC
  • Why Partners & SaaS Leaders Work With Us:
  • → 90% fill rate in 45 days (vs. industry avg of 60-90 days)
  • → 360° qualification framework – technical + behavioral + cultural fit screening before you see a CV
  • → Market mapping advantage – we know who's rolling off projects, who's underpaid, and who's ready to move
  • → ROI-obsessed delivery – every hire is measured against time-to-productivity and retention
