No different, talent and potential first.

Employer 47

My answer is the same before or after Covid-19. I am looking to bring someone in who has the ability to learn and who doesn’t think they have all of the answers. I have had luck finding that profiled with experienced talent and with new talent. Be willing to learn, to take ownership of your job responsibilities, and to stay out of office drama/gossip. Do those three things and you will have success in the workplace.

Employer 48

Yes.

Employer 49

Yes, the uncertainty has strained business to the point where sustaining is the main objective.

Employer 50

No. While I’m not a hiring manager, I understand that we’re always interested in a variety of SCM talent.

Employer 51

Not really. We try to find the people with the best mix of skills, drive, and affordability towards our budgets.

Employer 52

Did not differ, There are roles on my team for both new talent and experienced individuals.

Employer 53

Yes. Volume changes have placed holds on hiring as a result of order fluctuations.

Employer 54

Yes. COVID has resulted in a hiring freeze at my organization. Most of the existing employees have been forced to take multiple weeks of unpaid leaves of absence starting in Q2-2020. Prior to COVID my organization was hiring both seasoned professionals and new talent.

Employer 55

The answer would be the same.

Employer 56

It would not.

Employer 57

I don’t believe there has been any changes.

Employer 58

No.

Employer 59

No.

Employer 60

Yes, our tendency has always been to recruit within our intern’s pool.

Employer 61

Not at this time, our hiring of SCM talent has gone up because the demands of our products are going up and we have more people retiring.

Employer 62

Unsure. It is possible that we will need more students, but right now funds are tight.

Employer 63

No.

Employer 64

No.

Employer 65

No.

Employer 66

No.

Employer 67

No, my company for the most part, although at a reduced rate still hires entry level and experienced employees. Internship programs are still going remotely!

Employer 68

Yes, because of uncertainty in demand it’s hard to determine if we’ll have to operate leaner.

Employer 69

No.

Employer 70

No, we are a startup. Talent needs to be either experienced players with perspective applicable to startups or staff with demonstrated hard skills to add value on projects (coding, operations mapping, contracting, etc.).

Employer 71

No.

Employer 72

No.

Employer 73

No, this has not been impacted by COVID-19. Typically, my company only recruits entry-level employees with prior work experience. However, we do offer internships to college students.

Employer 74

Yes and no, Covid obviously has tied up cash and liquidity with a lot of companies. For my company it temporarily halted the hiring but we are back to normal now. Given the background on consulting we are looking to hire in grads out of college and help them grow into the industry.

For a lot of our clients this has hurt them and has halted the hiring of new associates. For them, the answer to this would be yes.
