Context for Recruiters

The job market for Recruiters of Supply Chain Professionals remains challenging:

Increasingly demanding jobs requirements:

-Job profiles are hard to write given the increased technicalities of Supply Chain and the constant evolution of functions

-Recruitment budgets and time requirements have significantly shrunk in the last few years

High diversity of candidates:

-Candidates may come from purchasing, logistics, operations, customer service

-Candidates may come from any region and opt to work anywhere

Lack of formal qualifications:

-The true skills of candidates are difficult to assess given the high complexity and technicality of Supply Chain skills and the historic lack of formal qualifications while experience gains can be easily inflated.

As a result, recruiting Supply Chain professionals is a very inefficient process.

News and knowledge

There is a very interesting WHITE PAPER by the M.I.T entitled "ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE SUPPLY CHAIN TALENT CRISIS?" BY KEN COTTRILL who is a GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT at the MIT CENTER FOR TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS

ABSTRACT:Supply chain faces a severe shortage of talent at a time when the demands on the profession have never been greater. Globalization, market uncertainty, shifting demographic patterns, and the emergence of supply chain as a strategic function are some of the factors that are driving the skills shortfall. The industry can build an adequate supply of talent in a number of ways, but companies must be more proactive in their approach to recruiting, developing, and retaining the supply chain professionals they need to stay competitive.
