Apart from the immediate benefits of using a recruiter to build and grow your supply chain and procurement team in terms of cost and time savings, a recruiter specialising in procurement and supply chain will be able to look at your business plans and projections and make recommendations about the candidate profile you need to achieve your goals.
This means not so much hiring like-for-like candidates that fit into the traditional outlook of what a supply chain and procurement team is supposed to look like and the roles and skills it includes. But instead to help you build candidate profiles and job descriptions that more accurately reflect your needs now and in the future.
How to build a supply chain and procurement team:
Recruiters are knowledgeable in the market and can turn your procurement and supply chain into a supportive branch of the business that is able to contribute to important decision-making processes for the entire organisation.
Whilst every recruitment agency may have a different methodology and approach to talent acquisition, at Sea Global we take the time to sit down with your hiring manager or department to work out what skill sets and qualifications, supply chain and procurement team structure or restructuring will facilitate your long-term goals.
Expressing any desirable skills or technical proficiencies at this point will also help your recruitment consultant get a more accurate picture of what you want from your hiring process and candidate selection.
Once you’ve scoped out your ideal candidate profiles together, your recruiter will suggest the best and fastest way to create the job description and the best recruitment marketing channels to utilise in order to attract your ideal candidates. From there they can help you sift candidates and applications, conduct preliminary screening and even advise you on interview structure and questions.
