IT & ERP Permanent Placement Solutions
Hire IT & ERP Leaders Who Stay, Deliver, and Drive Growth
A single wrong hire at the Director, VP, or C-level IT and ERP tier can set your technology programme back 12-18 months. The best candidates are already employed, rarely visible, and will only engage with recruiters they trust. Northeading's direct hire practice gives you exclusive access to the passive IT and ERP talent market - delivering permanent placements that stick.
Key Advantages
Why businesses choose this service for their staffing needs.
Access to Passive IT & ERP Leaders
The highest-calibre SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, and IT leadership talent is rarely active on job boards. 70% of our placements are passive candidates who would never respond to a generic recruiter - only to our trusted network.
Proven Cultural & Technical Alignment
A mis-hire at the Director or VP level costs organizations 2-3x the annual salary in lost productivity, team disruption, and re-recruitment costs. Our rigorous dual assessment eliminates that risk.
AI-Accelerated Search
Our AI platform maps the full IT and ERP talent landscape in your target geography before a single outreach is made - reducing your time-to-hire by up to 50% compared to traditional search.
Retention-Focused Matching
We assess long-term career alignment, growth expectations, and leadership style compatibility - not just skills. Northeading placements have an industry-leading 90%+ retention rate at the 2-year mark.
Confidential Search Capability
Backfilling a critical C-level IT or ERP role without alerting the incumbent requires absolute discretion. Our confidential search methodology protects your organization's operations throughout the process.
90-Day Replacement Guarantee
We stand behind every permanent IT and ERP placement with a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn't work out, we re-engage at no additional cost - because we get it right the first time.
How It Works
A transparent, streamlined approach from start to finish.
Deep Position & Organisation Analysis
We invest time understanding your ERP ecosystem, technology roadmap, leadership team dynamics, and cultural DNA - because great IT and ERP hires require context far beyond a job description.
Strategic Multi-Channel Sourcing
Our approach combines AI-driven talent mapping, passive candidate outreach, niche IT and ERP professional communities, and our proprietary executive network - leaving no stone unturned.
Rigorous Technical & Leadership Screening
Every candidate undergoes in-depth competency interviews, technical domain validation, psychometric assessment, and multi-source reference verification before you see a single profile.
Curated Candidate Presentation
You receive a focused slate of 3-5 fully assessed candidates with detailed profiles, our expert commentary, and clear differentiation - enabling confident, fast decision-making.
Offer Management & Onboarding Support
We manage counter-offer risk, facilitate offer negotiation, and provide structured 30-60-90 day onboarding guidance to ensure your new IT or ERP leader integrates successfully from day one.
