Keep reading to get some insights on what your Supply Chain Recruitment Agency should look like in 2022.

People – It’s all about People. Let’s face it, we buy from people that we like and can relate to. Businesses that are people-centric and take the time to imbed this into their culture will take the next step in fulfilling the needs of their 4C’s. Recruiters must foster their relationships with their candidates, clients, colleagues, and community while taking a customer-focused approach to meet the needs of each individual.

Brand – Have you bought in? You buy from a brand that you trust and know will deliver in a certain market or industry. When working with a specialist recruiter in your space, you will be working with professionals that know your industry. These businesses have honed their craft over many years, pulling together knowledge of large-scale recruitment projects and pain points they have solved for many businesses in the same industry. A supply chain recruitment specialist will have fostered relationships with a passive talent pool and have the tools and knowledge to find the right people when you need them.

Communication and Accessibility – Is Key. Your business has expanded, offered flexible working arrangements and is open longer hours to offer your customers better service and products. You should be experiencing the same from your current recruitment partner. A top recruiter has worked hard towards offering you a personalised communication option, giving you the same standardised service whether it’s during business hours or afterhours when your shift managers need it the most.

Supply Capabilities – Think outside the square. With employment rates tipped to dip below 4% for the first time in over two decades, finding the right talent in the right locations is key to your success. Your Supply Chain recruitment agency can’t be a one trick pony and should be looking at avenues on how to tap into the active candidate pool quickly and efficiently across Australia. Candidate speed to market is all about improving the candidate experience and speaking to them about your job vacancy before they apply for that job with your competitor. Are all your sites across Australia benefiting from the same standardised service?

Technology - Move with the times. No industry has been immune to the advancements in technology and automation. Those early adopters have paved the way for streamlined processors, automation, and cost savings by making menial tasks redundant. The recruitment services industry has been flooded with automation around talent pooling, AI recruitment bots, electronic timesheets, roster management software and automated references, just to name a few. Which systems has your supply chain recruitment partner shared with you?
