Hiring Trend │ Supply Chain

Hiring managers faced a growing shortage of technically skilled candidates in 2015. The number of jobseekers receiving multiple offers increased, particularly in the quality assurance and control areas.

We expect that the talent pool will reduce further in 2016, driving continuing increases in salaries. A developing shortage of contract personnel is also set to cause a moderate increase in rates for the first time in several years. Across healthcare there was a continuing high requirement for demand/supply planners, whereas the oil and gas sector took a more cautious approach to hiring as they assessed the impact of government subsidies.

In Osaka, we anticipate ongoing demand for bilingual supply chain and procurement professionals, especially at mid-manager level, as manufacturers continue to recover.
