A specific analysis of relevant job advertisements in Austria shows a professionalisation in ERP selection, but also a shift towards employing such experts in the own company versus outsourcing this expertise. Job titles and job specific requirements (competences) mentioned in job advertisements in 2017 and 2022 show a respective development. But it also becomes visible that the labour market for relevant experts is marked by a growing demand and insufficient supply, which implies that the more recent job advertisements are broader, more detailed in asking for competences, and therefore showing a hope for somehow fitting candidates. The COVID-19 crisis led to an increased in-house recruiting, which is turning back to a mixed in-house and external recruiting approach after COVID-19 in 2022.enERP selectionprofessionalisationrequirementsText/Conference Paper10.18420/se2023-ws-04
