Our clients continue doing business with us because we ourselves are purchasing/supply chain experts.  Many of us have worked in the field for several years.  Better than most other recruitment firms, we understand the role of the supply-chain in business:  ensuring that an exacting schedule is strictly followed, that the flow of goods and services is optimized, and that cost and revenue targets are met or exceeded.  This is a bottom-line enterprise that we know well, having worked in it ourselves.  What does this mean to you?  We will not waste your time with under -qualified candidates!

We are attentive to our clients’ needs.  We respond rapidly and effectively to their requirements, and we bring them the candidates they seek.  We understand the human resources component of business: the need for people who perform, who bring their expertise and energy to the workplace, who fit in well and add to the company culture, and who deliver results.

Because we are supply chain professionals, we have access to a much larger pool of potential candidates than other recruitment firms.  We maintain active membership in relevant professional organizations such as the Institute of Supply Management, National Association of Contract Management, National Institute of Government Purchasing, American Production and Inventory Control Society, and many more.  See our page on Associations for a partial list.

Finally, we understand the HR/Supply-Chain link:  if you are not able to find the right person, your company forgoes all the cost savings that the right person would have realized for you.  That’s a heavy burden on your shoulders.  We can help.

Tailored Recruitment

PSA works closely with you, attentively listening to your needs and requirements and learning about your culture, your business goals, and objectives.  Because we thoroughly understand the supply chain function, we can assist you in developing highly effective job descriptions/requirements customized to your unique needs.  The more we know about your aims, the faster we’ll be able to locate the right candidate.  With a profile of your desired candidate in hand, we begin our search through our extensive database and supply chain network.  We conduct additional screening as resumes and calls come in, narrowing down the pool of candidates to those most likely to fit your situation.
