A growing interest in sophisticated, agile supply chains has combined with an improving economy and the graying of skilled executive ranks, among other factors, to create what one expert calls a \u201cperfect storm\u201d of need for supply chain talent.<\/p>\n<p>Retailers, manufacturers, logistics providers and other businesses that demand strong supply chain expertise, therefore, need to embrace the best practices for attracting and developing both entry- and executive-level employees. These strategies range from broad efforts to raise awareness among schools and students about the industry and its hiring needs to recruiting practices that position a company as an attractive place to build a career. On a company level, best practices range from carefully crafted rotational programs that give entry-level professionals a taste of different roles, to mentoring and simply treating job candidates and employees well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a pretty severe shortage in the industry,\u201d Jake Barr, CEO and principal at BlueWorld Supply Chain Consulting LLC and a former Procter &amp; Gamble Co. supply network operations global director, said in a recent interview.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently about six to eight supply chain management positions available for every qualified applicant, depending on the supply chain area, \u201cso that\u2019s a big problem,\u201d he said. He cited a mismatch of openings and potential hires at lower ranks as well. Companies, therefore, have to step outside traditional recruiting approaches to fill those roles, Barr said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nxtbook.com\/naylor\/MHIQ\/MHIQ0214\/index.php#\/18\">Click here to read the full article.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><i>By Dinah Wisenberg Brin<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A significant shortage of skilled supply chain professionals is prompting industry to focus on effective and inventive ways to recruit and retain talent.
