From SAP roots to technological diversity.

Connecting the world's best tech talent to the right roles.

The RED Global journey.

Introduction

In 2000, RED recognised the need for specialised SAP talent. With the digital revolution well and truly underway, we started RED in London. Three men. Three phones. A fax machine.

Fast forward 24+ years and we are home to over 300 dedicated RED Global employees. Operating from 8 locations worldwide. 40,000 tech placements later, in over 80 countries. 

As SAP evolved over the years from ERP software to a full digital platform, we evolved with it. We now specialise in Business Applications, Cloud & Infrastructure, Cyber Security, Data & Analytics, SAP, and Software Development.

With offices today in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, London, Munich, New Jersey, Rotterdam and Switzerland, we now have dedicated teams for regions all across the world including: 

  • BeNeLux
  • Central & Eastern Europe
  • DACH 
  • France
