​Finding the Talent

The Huntress Approach

The Huntress Executive Search Firm specializes in Supply Chain search for all executives and middle management professionals under the supply chain umbrella including (but not limited to) logistics, distribution, fulfillment operations, transportation, merchandising, inventory, planning/forecasting, WMS/TMS systems, engineering, international trade compliance, and quality.

We do our business the old-school way; it is a very relationship-driven business and we work diligently to understand the chemistry and culture of the organization and then match those characteristics to the chemistry and cultural fit of our candidates.  We understand that a corporate culture is ever-evolving and that within some companies, the culture of the headquarters may not necessarily be the culture at the DC levels and that the geographic location of each of the DC's may have different cultures within themselves. Due to these often subtle but notable differences, it is important for us to meet as many leaders on the executive team, and to truly understand the complexities of the organization, the details of the position description, and the soft-skills - many of which may not be included in the formal position description.

​The Questionnaire

For many of our retained search assignments, we have found that a detailed Questionnaire specific to each position and created by the client company works well in drilling down to the 'nitty-gritty' as to what is crucial in an initial assessment of each candidate (along with their resume and our detailed interview assessment).  In developing the Questionnaire,  we have found it has proven to be an effective tool in assuring that everyone within the hiring process is on the same page as to what the qualifications are in determining the hire and then, of course, it gives the candidate the opportunity to showcase the uniqueness of his/her candidacy as well as their leadership, passion, and career progression combined with the technical aspects of his/her background.

​Our Guarantee

• Year 1 of employment:  If the employee does not work out to your expectations or resigns, we will replace that person in that specific position, free of charge.
