What makes this sector hard

  • Function-specific evidence

    Warehousing, transportation, procurement and planning are distinct disciplines. Each gets its own rubric so shortlists match the function.

  • Network and scale

    Single DC, regional network and international footprint reward different signal. Network scale is captured explicitly.

  • Modal mix

    Road, rail, ocean, air and parcel have different operating rhythms. Modal exposure is captured as a first-class filter.

  • Operating model — shipper vs 3PL

    In-house operators and 3PL delivery leaders are scored on different evidence — never merged in scoring.

The evidence we score against

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For logistics and supply chain, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • Function-specific rubric per role
  • Network scale and modal mix captured
  • Shipper vs 3PL tracks separated

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • APICS CSCP / CPIM
  • CSCMP SCPro
  • CIPS
  • Lean Six Sigma

What your shortlist looks like

  1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
  2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
  3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
  4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
