What Sets Us Apart

We are able to find vetted candidates quickly for your company because we have one of the most expansive networks of supply chain candidates in the country. Not only do we tap into this expansive network to find the right candidate for you, we have also developed a process to reach out to the more passive candidate who is often hidden to the marketplace. These techniques give us an advantage over other recruitment companies allowing us to find you the right person for your open position more quickly.

  • PARTNERSHIP: our in-depth “intake” process helps us understand your company, culture and exact requirements.
  • SPEED: pre-screened and pre-qualified candidates within 7-10 business days.
  • SERVICES: we offer Contingency, Engagement and Retained services.
  • CANDIDATES: As a boutique firm, we have fewer contractual constraints and can recruit from far more organizations.
  • QUALITY: because we only work in the supply chain discipline, every candidate will meet your requirements.
  • SUCCESS RATE: we have a 70% contingency success record compared to the industry average of 25% and 99% engagement record.
  • DEDICATED SERVICE: each search is assigned a Managing Partner, Candidate Recruiter and Analyst.
  • IMPORTANCE: as a boutique supply chain recruiting firm (approx. 100 placements a year), your search is critical to us.

Our Guarantee

We are so confident in our ability to match the right candidates with the appropriate positions our clients are trying to fill that we offer an extended guarantee. Once we are engaged we strive to have vetted candidates in front of you within 7 business days. When engaged we extend the industry’s 30 day guarantee period to 3 months.

Our Recruiting Services

At Optimum Supply Chain Recruiters, we only recruit top-tier talent for the supply chain and logistics discipline. Over the years, we’ve developed a consultative approach to recruiting that’s truly unique to our organization. With this approach, we’re typically able to find executive-level candidates and talent ready to step into director positions quickly and efficiently.

We offer contingency recruitingengagement searches and searches for interim personnel. Regardless of the kind of search you hire us to conduct, we’ll identify both active and passive candidates for the position you’re trying to fill. With the supply chain and logistics discipline being largely candidate-driven, we know we can’t rely on people who are actively looking for new positions alone. That’s why we’ll tap our network of talent and seek passive candidates who are ideally suited for the vacant positions within your organization.
