  • Supply Chain Management skills in demand

    2021 was the year where many businesses from a diverse range of industries took the opportunity to review and realign strategies. Organisations heavily invested in technology, process improvement and recruitment of key talent to support these strategies. Operationally, the supply chain industry experienced significant talent shortages within warehousing, transport and logistics, which was especially prevalent across capital cities and larger metropolitan areas.


    Top 3 Supply Chain Management skills in demand in 2022

    • Data analytics
    • Technological expertise
    • Strategic planning

    Supply Chain Management job seekers' intentions

    Organisations have re-aligned their strategies and are building resilient supply chains to support their operation, as they try to capitalise on opportunities. Supply chain leaders will be looking to bolster their capabilities in terms of technology, process and talent. Candidates within supply chain have never had more options, due to record-high vacancies and low unemployment, and are prioritising flexibility, career development and remuneration.


    So what are job seekers' intentions for 2022?

    31% - Looking for a new job right now

    4% - Looking for a job in the next 3 months

    16% - Looking for a job in the next 6 months

    7% - Looking for a job in the next 12 months

    42% - Won't look for a job within the next year

    Recruitment challenges in 2022

    The recruitment process has become more challenging, with a clear decrease in the number of applicants, but also candidate hesitancy in their job search: more job seekers have been unexpectedly pulling out of the recruitment process without notice to the hiring manager, and more have also rejected or negotiated their contract after offer.


    The biggest recruitment challenges of 2021 and 2022 have been:

    69% - There has been a decrease in the number of applications

    44% - More job seekers are negotiating their contracts after offer

    43% - There has been a significant increase in rejected job offers

    30% - Job seekers have ghosted hiring managers more than ever


    To counter these undesirable challenges, hiring managers need to identify

    early in the process why candidates are looking for a new role in order to assess their desire to join a new organisation, but also understand salary and benefits expectations earlier so the job offer complements those. By doing so and by reviewing their employer value proposition, organisations will be able to write job ads that perform better and attract more candidates, identify candidates that are less likely to pull out, and reduce the number of offers rejected or renegotiated at the end of the process.
