Let them know you want them for their skills to improve, not just to be clerks that write orders and process them. Hire inventory management personnel to help you improve what you have and what you need. Hire buyers to buy better, not just purchase a list of items. Hire SCM coordinators to oversee it all.

I am currently a strategic Supply Chain Analyst looking for new Opportunities.

Here are some issues I have found as a candidate.
1. Supply Chain Analyst is a very broad title. Some roles are very ops oriented and some require difficult skills such as Analytics and PM. So when in market for a role, very hard to find the right fit based on simple titles.

2. Also, a lot of layoffs has many people SCAs and SCMs in the market which may make both candidates and employees struggle to find the right fit when job titles aren’t well defined.

3. Pay. Pay is used as a filter to find good strategic/analytical or PM/NPI Supply Chain roles. That said many companies are trying to take layoffs as an advantage and are offering staggeringly low pay which will only attract low skilled talent or people who are really desperate.

While the above ones are just my observation, I do think that there is good SC talent out there especially if companies aren’t restricting them to their industries or go on asking for 5-10 years experience for a Senior Analyst roles.


Hope you guys find what you are looking for.

Hey Peeps,

I am also open to opportunities.

I have 3+ Years of Experience in Supply Chain focussing extensively on Network Optimization & Data analysis, Capacity & Strategic Planning (including forecasting), Project Management, NPI management & Process definition/standardisation.

I am Open to Supply Chain Manager, Associate Manager and Senior Analyst roles. I am open to relocation. I am also on H-1B visas so would need a sponsorship/visa transfer.

Let me know if you get an answer to this. Recent college grads have not worked out. Finance background has not worked out.
