We've been talking about this pretty consistently since 2020 when the Pandemic exposed a lot of supply chain talent gaps. But the reality of a Boomer Exodous is now upon is and will continue to drain instutional knowledge for the next few years. This creates even more compeition for knowledgeable and experienced supply chain leadership talent, likely driving up the price a little as well. But like the old saying goes, buy once, cry once. #supplychain #recruiting #talentmanagement #boomers #retirement
A historic inflation spike is easing, but there’s a powerful force that’s likely to keep wage and price increases higher than normal over the next few years: baby boomer retirements. A record 4.1 million Americans are set to turn 65 this year and each year through 2027, according to the Alliance for Lifetime Income’s Retirement Income Institute. Although not all of those #boomers will hang it up, the surge of freshly minted 65-year-olds – known as "peak 65" – probably will mean record #retirements as well. Paul Davidson has more on how baby boomers retiring affects the economy: https://lnkd.in/eR-cGxNC
A retirement surge is here. These industries will be hit hardest.

We explore the state of American manufacturing in this article and the somewhat conflicting reports we're receiving about whether or not it will create a huge boost to job creation. Technology and automation could curb that growth. Still other reports say 3.8 million jobs will be created in 10 years and we won't be able to fill them. But the competition for manufacturing leadership is real. That we know for sure. #manufacturing #supplychain #recruiting #talentmanagement https://lnkd.in/e3vNCKzR

These are solid tips for anyone interviewing right now. Practice makes perfect. Sounds weird, but it's true. You can't be nervous if you're prepared and put in the work. #supplychain #recruiting #interviewing

How to pass your interview. 5 tips from a manager at Amazon. Here are 5 tips you can use to improve your interviews that I learned from Eugene Polonsky, a Manager at Amazon: STAR format is a way of answering questions in a structured way: Situation, Task, Action, Result. Answer behavioural questions in this format. 1) Build a story bank - Create a library of 10-15 stories in STAR format - Link each story to common interview questions it might apply to - Bias towards recent stories, if possible 2) Mistakes level you - When asked about mistakes, don’t choose trivial examples to look good - Mistakes give clues about your level of experience - If your biggest career mistake is “breaking a software build”, you probably haven’t had a big scope. 3) Audit your stories for clarity - Ask family or friends for feedback on your stories - Make the situation, task, and result short and clear. - If your stories confuse strangers, they will confuse the interviewer. 4) Specificity matters - Be specific in your answers about what you did - “I led the project” leaves an open loop. Close it. - Numbers build trust - “Improved wait time” vs “Improved wait time from 4 hours to 10 minutes” 5) Don’t use “we” statements: - When answering questions, don’t use “We”. Use “I”. - An interviewer wants to know what “you” did - When you say “we”, your answer loses credibility 💡 Bonus tip: How to find good stories You can find good stories for interview questions - Performance review highlights and feedback - Big projects you’ve worked on - Projects you initiated, projects you’re proud of ~~~ Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Owain Lewis for more.

Supply chain optimizations seem to be happening at a breakneck speed. Machine learning, automation, robotics, sustainability, manufacturing boom - all have one thing in common: competition for the best talent. There simply aren't enough skilled and experienced people to keep pace with the need. So, employers are trying to slow things down a little and develop talent pipeline. We can help with pipeline management. There's no doubt that competition for talent is the determining factor in long term supply chain stability. #supplychain #recruiting #talentmanagement https://lnkd.in/eAFDtUCy

This week's SCM Talent Pulse explores the impact of what Billions of Dollars flowing into our manufacturing sector will have on hiring and jobs. With hundreds of billions of dollars flowing from the gov't to enhance manufacturing, jobs will be available. Hires will need to be made. What and how many is the key question. Some feel that there won't be enough people to fill all the jobs in the next 10 years. Others think technology will stunt job growth from this investment. Either way, manufacturing talent continues to be the next competitive frontier in the marketplace. #supplychain #manufacturing #recruiting

We have worked hard to develop relationships throughout the end-to-end supply chain. In doing so, we curate and cultivate thought leadership that can serve our clients. This analytical piece from December 2023 on what logistics leaders should do in 2024 has borne fruit. Neutral growth at 1-2% through 2 quarters of the year and hiring has been slowed some. These data driven pieces by experts in our networks have served us and our clients well. We hope they continue to do so. #supplychain #recruiting #logistics #hiringstrategies #talentmanagement https://lnkd.in/gmwg_A3V

Change management is a very specific skill that requires diligence, accountability, and trust, in both front line operators and middle management. We cannot deny the rapidly shifting tides of supply chains. From intermodal transport to freight forwarders or control towers and ERPs to machine learning and advanced analytics - change is everywhere. Literally. How is your team managing it? Let's talk. Let's chat about what's needed to keep pace with these changes. And maybe we can help find leaders skilled in managing these transformations. #supplychain #talent #changemanagement https://lnkd.in/ggCTCjfD
