Their story
Koppers is a global leader in environmentally responsible wood treatment chemicals and products, serving major infrastructure industries like rail, utilities, and construction. In the US, they were undertaking a critical technology transformation: migrating from Microsoft NAV to Oracle Cloud. To support the success of this high-stakes ERP transition, they needed a recruitment partner who could deliver niche tech talent fast.
The challenge
Koppers needed highly specialised contractors with expertise in Oracle Cloud and Microsoft NAV. But there was a catch with some of the positions, they had to be onsite in Pittsburgh, ready to hit the ground running, with strong communication skills on top of deep technical capability.
The market for this kind of talent is razor thin. Koppers had previously struggled to find the right candidates quickly, especially through generalist providers who didn’t understand the specifics of ERP tech stacks or the importance of cultural fit in a tight-knit local team.

The solution
We responded with aggressive, targeted outreach and deep network activation.
We brought in our deep understanding of ERP transformation talent, especially in Oracle Cloud and Microsoft NAV, to pre-vet candidates with precision. Thanks to this insight, less than three candidates were typically submitted per role, each of them carefully selected to meet both technical and interpersonal requirements.
Koppers’ hiring team also appreciated our ability to grasp what mattered to them as much as the technical credentials: communication, collaboration, and speed.
The result
- 4 long-term contract hires placed into key ERP roles: Oracle Cloud Functional Consultant, Technical Consultant, NAV Developer, Oracle Test Analyst
- All roles filled within one week of the initial brief
- Less than 3 candidates submitted per role, streamlining hiring manager time
