Hiring Strategies for the Supply Chain Sector

“Unpredictable” is the perfect word to describe what 2020 has been for supply chain and logistics professionals. The coronavirus pandemic has been a huge curveball and continues to cause uncertainty as we approach the 2020 holiday seasons. In a recent article for Industry Today, author Blake Pinard offers advice for supply chain leaders looking to bulk up their teams for the upcoming busy season.

Pinard recommends three strategies:

2. Implement new technologies, such as hiring tools that offer advanced analytical capabilities, to help you keep up with your competition.
3. Create a holistic hiring plan based on company-wide data and drawing upon labor forecasting, employee morale measurements, and other data analytics.

Drawing up the company data you already have before you to inform your hiring strategy is the key to achieving success in this area. For more details, click here to read the article in full at Industry Today.
