Where manufacturers need them

Most manufacturers on SAP ECC are working against the same calendar. SAP mainstream maintenance for SAP ERP 6.0 on enhancement packages 6 to 8 ends at the end of 2027, with optional extended maintenance through 2030. That puts many S/4HANA programs into the same hiring window, and experienced leads who have carried a module through a conversion are the hardest roles to fill.

Maxary staffs the full life of a program: the design leads who make the decisions early, the build and test team, cutover, and the stabilization roles that protect operations after go-live.

How we qualify candidates

  1. You brief us. Tell us the role, the stack, the program phase and the timeline. A 15-minute call is usually enough.
  2. VeriTalent.ai scores the pipeline against 40+ role-specific criteria, including submission confidence and authenticity risk.
  3. A practitioner reviews every candidate who passes, against the real demands of your program rather than keywords on a resume.
  4. You receive 3 to 5 candidates within 48 hours, and we manage interviews, offers and onboarding through to a settled hire.

Engagement models

Contract, contract-to-hire and direct-hire placements, plus project-based consulting teams for rollouts, go-lives and stabilization. Maxary is a woman-owned business, WBENC and Virginia SWaM certified, and an SAP PartnerEdge and Oracle PartnerNetwork member, so it can also support supplier-diversity goals.
