Finding the right procurement and supply chain recruitment agency can make all the difference when it comes to finding the right candidate. My personal recommendation is to look for a good strategic procurement solutions provider who also does staff recruitment.
Choosing an agency that doesn’t match your needs – or one that lacks expertise in your industry – can lead to hiring mistakes that will be expensive and time-consuming to fix down the line.
Here are a few ways to get started.
Ask friends, family, or colleagues if they know any companies that do procurement and supply chain recruitment. Word-of-mouth referrals are one of the best ways to find a reputable company.
Picking an agency isn’t just about price. You should also ask questions like, how many placements have they made in my industry? Do they specialize in this area of recruiting or are they a generalist company? Strategic procurement solutions companies that specialize in procurement and supply chain recruitment are better equipped to help you find qualified candidates with the right skill set.
