The search that finds who your competitors can't.
For logistics and supply chain companies hiring operations and sales talent. Specialist sourcing, structured evaluation, and a search you can actually watch happen.
What is Strategic Talent Search?
Strategic Talent Search is what we run for the operations, sales, and mid-senior leadership hires that decide whether your next quarter goes well. Not a stack of resumes pulled from a database. A real search, built around your role, your team, and the kind of operator you actually need.
Every candidate we submit has gone through identity verification, a behavioral interview, a real skills test for the role, and a structured screen scored on the same criteria. You see the work behind the recommendation, not just the recommendation.
How the process works.
Define
A working session with you to define the hire. You walk away with a written success profile, a market map, and a comp benchmark for this exact role.
Vet
Every candidate runs the same evaluation: a behavioral interview, a real skills test for the role, and a structured scorecard. We don't submit anyone we can't defend.
Compare
Three to five finalists, delivered together. Each one comes with a full profile, a fit score, and our take on how they stack up. You make the call in one sitting.
Secure
We help shape the offer, run references on the same scorecard, and see it through to signature. Day one, your hiring manager gets a one-page handoff. We check in at thirty, sixty, and ninety days.
Roles we typically place.
- Operations Manager & Director of Operations
- Warehouse & Distribution Center Manager
- Director of Logistics & Supply Chain Manager
- Sales Manager & Business Development Leader
- Regional Director & Multi-Site Operations
- Account Executive & Strategic Account Manager
Why companies choose this service.
Most agencies grow by taking on more searches. We grew by saying no to most of them. Our search cap means yours doesn't sit in a queue behind twenty others. Every search runs the same protocol because that's the only way the work stays defensible. Clients pick Strategic Talent Search because they want a real hire, not a delay with a fee attached.
Retained clients get the client portal: a live view of your search, the candidate scorecards, the interview debriefs, and the alerts when something stalls. The opposite of waiting for an update email. See how it works →
