Market Trends Report: 2024 Supply Chain & Operations Hiring Trends in the CPG Industry

As the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry evolves, hiring trends in supply chain and operations are changing rapidly. With the rise of e-commerce, the demand for streamlined logistics, and an increasing focus on sustainability, companies are faced with new challenges in attracting and retaining top talent. This report outlines key trends for 2024 to help you stay ahead in recruiting.

Key Trends:

1. Increased Demand for Supply Chain Digitalization:

Companies are investing in technologies like AI, automation, and real-time data analytics. Candidates with skills in digital supply chain management and data-driven decision-making are in high demand.

2. Focus on Sustainability:

Sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s becoming a central part of supply chain operations. Roles focused on green logistics, carbon footprint reduction, and circular supply chains are on the rise.

3. Remote and Hybrid Work Models:

While supply chain roles are often on-site, many companies are offering hybrid or flexible options for operational and management positions. Candidates are increasingly prioritizing work-life balance when choosing employers.

4. Diversity & Inclusion Initiatives:

Hiring diverse talent is a growing focus, with companies seeking candidates from a range of backgrounds and experiences to drive innovation in supply chain management.

5. Salary Inflation and Competition:

The supply-demand imbalance for skilled workers is driving up salary expectations, especially for niche roles like supply chain planners, logistics managers, and operations analysts.
