The Talent Brief
The SAP talent market, honestly: skills, careers, hiring, and what a role is really worth. Monthly, written by practitioners who sit on different sides of the table.
Every edition is published in full here as well as on LinkedIn. Nothing is paywalled and nothing is summarised: the version below is the complete text.

What would it take to make you move?
Three seats at one salary negotiation: the company’s approved band, the recruiter’s negotiating lane and the candidate’s move price. Most offers fail because they are treated as one.

Why SAP job descriptions repel the people they need
The strongest SAP professionals are not searching — they are reading, and most job descriptions give them nothing to read. What repels them, why they decline late, and what to write instead.

Hello SAP World
The launch edition: why independent SAP intelligence, how the voice model works, and what is already here.

What each edition covers
The brief moves between six recurring sections rather than running all of them every month: one development changing the market, one capability worth learning or hiring for, compensation and mandate, the employer and recruiter view, a few verified roles, and the SAP corporate news that actually moves careers.
If you are preparing a specific conversation rather than reading for the market, two things on this site go deeper than any edition can: know your role, know your candidate for whether a role and a person actually fit, and know your worth for the package behind the salary line.
