The state of the ERP talent market
2026 is the strongest seller's market ERP talent has seen. The structural forces all point one way: SAP's ECC deadline is compressing a decade of enterprise migration into a few years, the cloud ERP vendors keep winning mid-market customers faster than their partner channels can train consultants, and the developers who specialise in each platform's toolchain are outnumbered by the vacancies chasing them in every single ecosystem we track.
For employers, the practical consequence is simple: the advertised median is no longer the price of talent. Offers close ten percent or more above it, counter-offers are standard, and slow processes lose shortlists. The employers winning in this market benchmark before they brief, state ranges publicly, and move from first interview to offer inside two weeks.
For candidates, this is the year to know your number. Premium skills, HANA migrations, SuiteScript, AL with Power Platform, OWL, vertical editions, now carry published, quantifiable uplifts, and the gap between staying put and moving well has rarely been wider.
Everything below is built from our own placements and accepted offers, cross-checked against published benchmark data, across 47 roles, 8 platforms and both sides of the Atlantic.
