Procurement
Vacancy demand remains high across all junior to mid-level key skill sets, with a drop-off in senior procurement vacancies. Specifically, the demand for mid-level procurement professionals continues to rise month on month, both for permanent and interim positions.
As businesses strive to create a more agile workforce, they are seeking candidates with the right core attributes, rather than solely focusing on specific category experience. Consequently, there is an increased emphasis on investing in future talent.
Supply Chain
With the exception of declining director-level positions, we have consistently witnessed a growing demand for all supply chain sub-skills, encompassing both permanent and contract roles.
The companies that secure the most talented individuals are those with an organised, clear, and swift interview process.
Highly sought-after candidates in this market are still in demand and are receiving multiple offers, leading to an increase in onboarding salaries.
