ART
is an executive
search firm with
very
deep and widespread experience
and contacts in
the global Logistics
Services and Supply
Chain Services
Sectors. There are
many executive
search firms that
dabble in the
logistics and supply
chain field, but ART
has recruited in
the supply chain field
since our founding
in 1987. In fact, we
have been recruiting
in the supply chain
field long before
most
companies even
used the term
"supply chain" or
understood just how
critical efficient
management of one's
supply chain is to
the proper
functioning of their
firms.
ART
understands the
supply chain
management
discipline in ways
that most search
firms do not, for we
have recruited
people in nearly
every manufacturing
and service
industry, in the Procurement/
Sourcing/
Purchasing
field, in the Materials
and Inventory
Control field,
and in the Logistics
and Distribution
field.
We
recruit people
picking up, moving, delivering, warehousing, stevedoring, shipping, importing
and exporting
critical
goods by air, land
and sea.
ART
understands both
the supply chain
management needs of
manufacturers and
service firms and
the supply chain
management needs of
logistics services
and port/ terminal
management firms. Our
broad worldwide
candidate base and
recruitment reach,
coupled with a long
and deep understanding
of both sides of the
logistics equation,
covering both the
needs of the customer
and the provider, we
believe, makes ART an
unparalleled executive
search firm in the
Supply Chain
Management and
Logistics Services
field.
ART
primarily
conducts executive searches
in
the Supply Chain Management and Logistics Services
field at
the Upper Management
and Middle
Management levels.
Our
focus in this sector
is on recruitment
for General
Management, Sales
and Marketing,
Business
Development,
Finance, Supply
Chain, Operations,
IT, Human Resources,
and Legal
Administration. Our
work typically
involves recruitment
for CEO, COO, CFO,
CIO, CTO, CMO, CSO,
CPO, President,
General Manager,
Managing Director,
Country Manager, VP,
Director, or other
Manager titles.
We
recruit in the
Logistics and
Supply Chain
Management Sector
across all world
regions, at the
national, regional
and global levels.
