Market insights

Hiring demand continues to rise in seasonal cycles across manufacturing and FMCG sectors.

Warehouse managers, supervisors and operations leaders remain difficult roles to fill, particularly where specific system experience is required.

3PL experience is frequently requested, though some employers are open to training where candidates are system-savvy.

Onsite presence is typically required, making personality and workplace culture alignment essential for retention.

Candidates who can support cross-functional needs (inventory, coordination, project support) are increasingly attractive.

FAQs

Do I need to know a specific warehouse management system to apply?

System knowledge can help, but many employers are open to candidates who are confident in learning new platforms and adapting quickly.

What is a common pathway into leadership roles in supply chain?

Hands-on operational experience combined with strong communication, scheduling, coordination and team support skills often leads to supervisory progression.

Why are warehouse and operations leadership roles sometimes challenging to fill?

These roles require both practical operational knowledge and strong people leadership capability, which is a relatively niche combination.

How can we improve retention in onsite operational environments?

Clear expectations, structured onboarding, recognition and opportunities for internal progression contribute significantly to workforce stability.
