Rapid hiring across borders: How Alight hired 44 SAP specialists across 13 countries

Alight are an outsourcing company employing over 10,000 people across 35 countries. They have a regular need to access SAP specialist talent to hire for projects across existing and new countries as they expand. Accessing new talent using local staffing agencies was becoming more and more important to hire faster to meet demand.


The challenge

There was a real difficulty in identifying the best local agency suppliers across many countries they recruited in. When they finally found an acceptable staffing agency, the process of engaging, procuring and paying them took weeks, lengthening time-to-hire and increasing internal administration. The company approached RAMP to solve this problem, in order to quickly and easily identify the best specialist agencies across Europe, and the Asia Pacific.

Our approach

Using RAMP Global’s agency sourcing solutions, we were able to identify 127 staffing agencies across 13 countries that Alight were recruiting in due to new projects and customers. Each staffing agency was vetted for their capability to deliver SAP specialists, particularly in HR / Payroll functions and those chosen agreed to Alight’s terms of business. 78 staffing agencies were procured to deliver across a range of projects in a 6 month period, with all communication, terms of business and candidate supply managed within our platform. This enabled both staffing agencies and Alight to have a one stop solution to deliver on the project.
