More APAC Companies Adopt Contingent Workforce to Solve Supply Chain Recruitment

Logo

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWire) -- 05/31/2022 --The global pandemic has squeezed the logistics and supply chain industry in many ways, especially when it comes to talent pipelines. Now, new research has revealed that companies across the APAC region are increasingly turning to the contingent workforce in order to solve the challenges of supply chain recruitment. Headcount shortages are affecting many organisations and this, combined with the impact of COVID-19, plus increasingly sophisticated technology and economic uncertainty, has meant that many enterprises are forced to look for new ways to survive and thrive. While the contingent workforce is already a big part of workforce planning for businesses in the APAC region, the research showed that 25% plan to increase their use of contingent workforce in the next two years. 58% of businesses already use a contingent workforce when it comes to headcount shortages and 74% are likely to reward a contingent worker at the same level, or better, than full-time employees.

The increasing use of more contingent workers is a clear trend in supply chain recruitment today - and one that provides a wealth of benefits when it comes to productivity and growth. DSJ Global is ideally positioned to support enterprises in the APAC region in optimising this supply chain recruitment trend for their own benefit.

"2021 was a year of pressure and strain for procurement & supply chain markets globally. Travel restrictions, delays on cargo flights and congested shipping lanes created a multitude of challenges for the smooth operations of supply lanes globally which had a knock-on effect for recruiting and retaining top talent in this field" said Jamie Thorpe, Head of DSJ Global, Hong Kong. "These macro factors created high demand for candidates with extensive experience in Strategic Procurement, Logistics and Supply Chain within a very tight candidate pool. Companies have had to resort to offering very high compensation and benefits to attract the talent they desperately need."
