ERP Virtual Recruitment

Technological advances have changed the way we used to work a decade earlier. Now most of us who are into ERP Consulting at some point in time work for the Global Teams, sitting at locations spread all over the world. This trend started a few years back and is witnessing exponential growth. As time passes by the growth for Virtual Consultancy for IT especially in context of ERP seems to be un-stoppable.

Even the recruitment has undergone a change from regular recruitment to "Virtual Recruiter and the Virtual Employee". Availability and usage of social media is bringing new dimensions, methods and challenges to social recruiting day by day. If you are looking for a particular skill set in a short period of time probably traditional job boards are not an answer any more. The new generation recruiters are successful only if they use the technology available to them to source, attract and hire candidates for roles in countries/cities outside of their location, invest a lot of time in building relationships and are able to offer career consultancy resulting in career growth for their candidates. Even for the companies the traditional recruitment houses are no more able to offer specialized services when it comes to hiring for the ERP. New age recruiters have to find jobs for people and hiring managers they may have never physically met using the virtual technology to its best.

When it comes to "ERP Virtual Recruitment” the only name that is far ahead in the race is the Chartered Technofunctional Institute. They have invested a lot in building relationships with their fellow members who trust them for their career growth. Their network is expanding at an exponential rate and we see a lot of progress in terms of additions to their resources, day by day.

The use of the virtual employee is increasing at a fast pace. As technology continues to develop to allow us to do many of the things we used to have to do in an office and with a mindset shift in what actually is a "workplace" and business processes and technology becoming more and more complicated and difficult to manage on individual basis, working in virtual teams and offices has become a necessity.

Most of the ERP Professionals are working in a virtual team – with their colleagues are based around the world and understanding the global cultural differences and gaining expertise in telecommunication skills and virtual team effectiveness and management are the most demanded skills of today’s world. An Virtual Team manager has to build trust and work together for creating a shared need among the team motivating them to work towards the common organizational goal. Companies need to look for specialized Oracle Recruitment and SAP Recruitment for finding the best people for Oracle and SAP. TechnFunc is based in India and they have successfully placed candidates into roles here at Oracle/SAP and other ERP’s across Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, UK, Dubai, India and Singapore.

With the use of many online tools, soft phones and online collaborative products like the Webex and Telepresence and Video Conferencing the world is quickly becoming a much smaller place than it used to be. As 3G in telecommunications becomes more and more accessible we will see new trends of employees communications, where the physical location will lose its importance as it has today. Even today the employees are no longer limited by their physical locations, they can work on ERP Implementations working for a global team with team members spread in different time zones or locations and 3G is going to act as a catalyst in this process. This workplace flexibility has even been able to address the work-life balance concerns that were on rise during the past decade due to jobs demanding to work on odd hours for ERP Professionals. Although today, not every organization is able to offer these types of roles, but the trend is towards a positive increase and we will see lot many companies making their working more flexible to a changing workforce that expects flexibility or risk getting left behind by quality candidates.
