At Lean Six Search, we recognize that the right supply chain executive can transform your business. We apply lean methodologies to recruitment that mirror the practices supply chain leaders implement in operations.
1. Discovery & Define
The process begins with careful listening. The recruitment team documents role requirements, salary ranges, and organizational challenges. Comprehensive job descriptions are then created to highlight growth opportunities and align with business strategy.
Lean principle in action: clear standards and shared understanding eliminate waste from day one — similar to how lean supply chains operate.
2. Find and Filter
Using a precise brief, recruiters source and screen candidates through diverse channels and advanced technology. Each CV undergoes rigorous screening for progression, red flags, and lean thinking via a proprietary Talent Wiring filter. Direct candidate engagement verifies salary expectations and notice periods.
Lean principle in action: early and frequent filtering focuses effort only on qualified candidates committed to the opportunity.
3. Seal the Deal
Candidates are presented with transparency — strengths highlighted, concerns proactively addressed. The team manages offer and onboarding processes for both clients and candidates.
Lean principle in action: friction is removed from hiring — mirroring how lean leaders eliminate supply chain bottlenecks.
Why "lean" matters in executive search
Our core belief: the best supply chain executive recruiters should embody the same continuous improvement mindset as the leaders they place.
The process delivers:
- Speed without sacrificing quality
- Transparency at every step
- A relentless focus on value
