Here in SAP resourcing-land: “on-boarding” means organising someone who is starting a new job, which is far easier than when it means loading a vessel with a team full of divers, rebreathers, bail-out gas, lights, camera’s, scooters and deco stations. SAP’s “SMB” solution is for small-to-medium businesses, not a Survey Market Buoy for scuba ascents. To confess, the first time I heard SAP use the term “field glass” I wondered what they could possibly have to do with antique nautical binoculars.Īnd when it became cool for business to talk about doing a “deep dive” (meaning a whole lot of time in a boardroom, not a dive through the euphotic zone with hours of deco), I was completely all: " Mate, that’s a meeting, not a deep dive. So if you want to talk about imposter syndrome: it’s actually kind of weird that my reputation is SAP recruitment. My undergrad degrees were all archaeology and palaeoanthropology, then I got salty with the Australian Institute of Maritime Archaeology and have researched, surveyed and dived all over the Pacific and the Australian coasts. It wasn’t the plan, I didn’t do HR (and no-one really gets into SAP deliberately, it kind of just happens, right?). With shipwrecks, there’s years and years of mystery and questions and stories to unravel there’s endless research of archives, ships logs, reports and news articles then huge expanses of sea floor to drag side scan sonars and magnetometers over countless dive expeditions to survey the wreck then endless hours of field data to process.īut when someone needs an SAP consultant, there’s 1000’s of those in my phone and ten times that in my database. Firstly, SAP consultants are much easier to find than shipwrecks.
