Who we accept

A high bar, applied consistently.

Kennerkreis exists to be trusted by recruiters — which means we accept the right advisors, not all advisors. Here's what we look for.

🇪🇺
EU, UK, or Swiss-based

You live and work in the EU, UK, or Switzerland and can engage onsite within your region. No offshore-only profiles.

📅
7+ years in SAP

Hands-on delivery on real client programmes — not training, not theory. Full-time-equivalent experience.

🗂️
Verifiable project history

Projects you can describe by client, role, timeline, and outcome. Implementation-partner context welcome.

🤝
At least 2 references

Past colleagues, CFOs, project managers, or partners who can confirm your role with one email click.

📊
Honest self-assessment

Your skill matrix reflects real levels. We'd rather see "Strong" than inflated "Expert" everywhere.

🧭
Active in the market

You keep your availability and rate bracket current. Stale profiles hurt every advisor in the directory.

The Process

From application to active profile, step by step.

Transparent. Manual. Typically 3–10 working days from application to decision.

Step 3 · Kennerkreis
References verified automatically

Once you add references, Kennerkreis emails each one a short confirmation request. They click a link to confirm your role — no long forms, no calls required from them.

⏱ 1–3 days

Step 4 · Together
Introductory call with the founder

A 20-minute conversation with Dimitrij — one SAP professional to another. We talk about your background, expectations, and whether Kennerkreis is the right fit for you. No pressure, no formal assessment.

⏱ 20 minutes · scheduled by you

Step 5 · Kennerkreis
Profile activated

When references confirm and the call is done, you receive a decision by email. If approved, you activate your membership (€9/month · €108/year) and go live to recruiters. If we're not the right fit, no payment is taken — ever.

⏱ Same day as decision
Kennerkreis Standards

Six commitments, non-negotiable.

At the final step of the wizard you'll agree to these as a personal commitment. Recruiters trust Kennerkreis because every advisor has agreed to them.

EU, UK or Switzerland-based physical presence

I am physically based in the EU, UK or Switzerland and available for onsite engagement within my region.

2
At least 7 years of real SAP project experience

Hands-on delivery on real client programmes — not training, not theory.

3
Minimum 3 verifiable references

Past colleagues, PMs, or partners who can confirm my role by email.

Honest, accurate self-assessment

My skill matrix reflects real levels — including areas where I am less experienced.

Before you apply

Frequently asked questions.

How much does it cost?

Applying is free. If approved, advisor membership is €9/month when your profile is active, or €1/month when you're booked and hidden from search. Annual billing is €108/year.

What happens if I'm not approved?

You pay nothing. We write to you with a clear explanation and, where possible, what would strengthen a future application. You can reapply after 12 months.

Who sees my profile and contact details?

Only verified, paid recruiters. Your email, phone, and rate are never shown on public search results. Recruiters must identify themselves by company before they can contact you.

Can I hide my profile when I'm booked?

Yes. Toggle "Booked" on your dashboard. Your profile is hidden from search; your fee drops to €1/month until you unbook. Keeping it up reminds recruiters you exist for their next engagement.

Do you verify my references?

Yes — every reference receives an email asking them to confirm your role. They click one link to confirm or decline. You'll need at least three confirmed references before your profile goes live.

Where is my data stored?

All data is hosted in the EU (Germany). See our Privacy Policy and GDPR subprocessors list.
