Enterprise Applications & Business Systems in Barcelona
As a specialist SAP and ERP search firm in Barcelona, we lead Executive Search assignments for senior professionals and managers across SAP, SAP S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, ERP, CRM, Business Applications, IT Applications Management, Service Delivery, Business Systems and Process Transformation.
THE STARTING POINT
We identify the talent that connects technology with the business.
We are a boutique search firm specialising in Enterprise Applications & Business Systems. From Barcelona, we help companies appoint senior specialists, managers and directors who can orchestrate processes, optimise the business and ensure technology delivers meaningful value.
WHEN THE SEARCH PROCESS IS GENERIC
Technical profiles may emerge, but not always the leadership the system requires
The process may generate candidates with experience in SAP, ERP, CRM or business applications, but without a clear understanding of the wider context: functional scope, business engagement, application governance, service delivery, partner management, systems integration and the ability to lead complex change.
WHEN THE SEARCH IS TAILORED
Every approach is linked to a specific business, systems and process need
We define the profile around the operational, functional and organisational challenge, map the market with precision and approach only those professionals capable of successfully managing critical applications at the company’s current stage.
WHY ONETALENT
Enterprise applications perform at their best when they are led by the right people.
Before beginning any search, we understand your application ecosystem and organisational context so we can identify the professional you truly need.
Enterprise Applications expertise
We do not simply look for technical experts. We understand how enterprise applications connect operations, finance, supply chain, human resources and sales. We identify professionals who can create value well beyond technical knowledge and reach talent that rarely participates in traditional recruitment processes.
Boutique by design
We limit the number of simultaneous assignments so that every critical Enterprise Applications & Business Systems search receives the time and depth it deserves. Each assignment is led by Inés Schvartzman, who brings more than 15 years of experience and a strong professional network.
More advisory support. Fewer CVs.
We do more than present profiles. We help define the team structure, share market insight, challenge expectations and assess the maturity of the function. Our objective is not simply to fill a vacancy, but to appoint the right person.
Market intelligence
Every search generates strategic insight. We share compensation benchmarks, talent availability, target companies, partners, end clients and market trends to support realistic and competitive decisions.

Because we do not simply look for professionals with SAP, ERP or CRM experience. We understand how enterprise applications connect technology with the business and the value the right appointment can create across the organisation.

How does an Enterprise Applications search differ from a traditional technology search?
A traditional technology search often focuses on technology itself or on software development.
In Enterprise Applications, the challenge goes much further. We look for professionals who can connect applications, processes and business needs, manage stakeholders, coordinate partners and drive continuous improvement across business-critical platforms.
Our objective is not to find the person who knows a tool best, but the person who can create the greatest value through it.

06
How do you attract professionals who are not actively looking for a move?
How do you attract professionals who are not actively looking for a move?
Most of the SAP, ERP, CRM and Business Applications professionals we appoint are not actively looking for a new role.
We reach them through direct search, an extensive network and a specialist headhunting methodology.

How do you protect the candidate experience and employer brand?
Every conversation with a candidate is also an opportunity to strengthen their perception of your company.
We act as an extension of your team, representing your opportunity with professionalism, transparency and a personal approach from the first conversation.
Throughout the process, we maintain clear communication, provide feedback where possible and present each opportunity by clearly articulating the project, culture and potential impact of the role.
We believe a strong candidate experience directly reinforces your employer brand, including among professionals who are not ultimately selected.

What happens once the appointment has been made?
What happens once the appointment has been made?
Our work does not end when the candidate accepts the offer.
We follow up during the first months to support both the company and the professional, facilitate integration and ensure the appointment is meeting the expectations of both parties.
We believe the success of a search is not measured when a contract is signed, but when the person creates the expected value within the organisation.
