Overview
A leading automotive company in Belgium embarked on a complex S/4HANA implementation to modernise its operations and enhance its digital capabilities. With tight deadlines and a lack of in-house expertise in key SAP modules, the client faced significant challenges in completing the project on time and within budget. Whitehall Resources stepped in as a trusted partner to deliver the specialised SAP talent required to ensure the project’s success.
Project Roadblocks
The S/4HANA implementation was a critical project for the client, aiming to improve operational efficiency and support long-term business growth. However, the client struggled with several hurdles:
- A shortage of internal expertise in SAP modules, including S/4HANA, SAP Fiori, and SAP BW.
- Inability to attract and identify qualified professionals independently.
- The pressing need to meet tight deadlines, with risks of delays impacting the entire implementation.
These challenges necessitated a recruitment partner who could quickly source highly skilled professionals and align them with the project’s requirements.

To address the client’s requirements, Whitehall developed a highly tailored recruitment strategy. The process began with an in-depth assessment of the client’s needs, including the specific SAP modules involved, the overall project scope, and the critical timelines for delivery. With a clear understanding of these factors, Whitehall leveraged its extensive SAP network and internal CRM system to identify the most suitable candidates.
Each candidate was rigorously pre-screened to ensure both technical expertise and cultural alignment with the client’s organisation. Within just seven days, Whitehall presented a shortlist of highly qualified professionals, enabling the client to onboard the necessary talent rapidly and maintain momentum for their S/4HANA implementation.

The seamless delivery of the project highlighted the value of having the right expertise in place, enabling the client to meet critical milestones with confidence.
