Sap’s Inclusive Approach to Recruiting

SAP’s Inclusive Approach to Recruiting

SAP is a multinational software corporation that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations. Their headquarters in located in Germany and they have a striving business proposal that seems to really work for them. They currently have 65,000 employees in 130 countries and are continuing to grow all over. They have a very unique and special recruiting feature about them that most people would shy away from.

SAP has a couple recruiting methods they use to hire the best and most focused employees to keep the company running smoothly. One way is making sure that the people they hire have young innovative minds, they want someone who’s wheels are constantly turning and someone who is thinking at all times. The employees they hire are sharp, and they don’t necessarily need to know everything about the company because SAP’s Human Resource department is more than willing to get their employees up to speed and trained properly. They have a great training department to get the employees educated on the business and how the company operates. Anyone willing to learn and take on the challenge is more than welcome to apply. They have their hiring advertised through social media, and other great websites including their own, that explains what each job title would be doing, salary ranges, and benefits. They hire young and sharp minded individuals because SAP believes that sustainability is more important than just hiring someone to come aboard and get the job done, learn about it and then move on. They want someone to love what they are doing as well as stay and grow with the company.

Another thing that SAP does for recruiting is look amongst people who would normally be turned away or shunned from a job that is anything but easy. SAP specifically looks and hires people who have disabilities, particularly Autism. They have done their research and have figured out that people who have a disability, or Autism carry a special talent. They realize that some are extremely gifted for example Asperger syndrome and Rett syndrome which effects their social manner and makes them socially awkward. They are not able to communicate normally and have a hard time striking up a normal conversation like you or I would. It is hard for them to be in social gatherings and in groups. On the flip side of having this disability, they are able to focus and concentrate on certain things better, it enables them to pay attention to detail and illuminate room for error, not all the time of course but it is less common. Someone with a disability is still better at one subject more than another, they will place certain people in areas they will strive in which helps not only the company but the individual themselves. SAP is so pleased with the work being done and the studies that are being worked
