Supply chain executives play a key role in the success of any business and due to this fact, supply chain executive search and recruitment cannot simply be entrusted to any company. Supply chain recruitment calls for a very particular individual – the perfect candidate would have to be skilled, be numerate, have high quality standards and have a suitable disposition. The supply chain industry is extremely specialist and it can often be very time-consuming to find the right individual for a specific position.
Supply Chain recruitment consultants help to make this process easier. They will conduct an extensive executive search and a good supply chain recruitment specialist will use a multi-stage approach. This multi-stage approach will be covered in more detail below.
Supply chain recruitment consultants
The following multi-stage approach to the executive search is used by top supply recruitment consultants:
- Preparation: The preparation process is very important because it forms the basis of the search for the perfect supply chain executive. Factors such as job specifications, company details and timelines would all be considered. This then helps the supply chain recruitment consultant identify prospective candidates.
- Getting in touch with candidates: The potential candidates would then be contacted for more information and/or a telephone interview. At this stage the recruiting company’s details are still kept confidential but the basic opportunity is outlined to the candidate. If both parties still wish to proceed, then a preliminary interview would be done.
- Submitting a candidate report: A shortlist of generally three of the best suited candidates would be compiled. This would include their details as well as information about why they are leaving their current job and what their expectations are. This report can then either be accepted or rejected.
- Conducting interviews: Consultants arrange interviews between the clients and candidates and keep all parties involved and informed.
- Making an offer: A good supply chain recruitment consultant would then also be able to manage the chosen candidate’s resignation from their current job and they can also recommend an offer that has the best probability of being accepted.
