Your staff are your greatest resource and the most dynamic aspect of your company. If you feel that you have to make changes in the Supply Chain Management group then consider Velocity, which has both the functional knowledge and Human Resources experience.

Ric Studney has managed Supply Chain Management staff for twenty-five years and has hired: buyers, expediters, warehouseman, clerical, accounting and system specialists. Ric understands that recruitment is the most important management decision made. Ric hired and mentored two former PMAC presidents and several individuals who have gone on to become senior and executive members of private companies. As a consultant Ric has successfully "head-hunted" senior Purchasing Managers who were a perfect "fit" for the organization. Velocity has a recruitment process that does not "leave a rock unturned." Velocity's recruitment process provides a set of filters that:

- ensure finalists have the best Supply Chain Management technical skills
- ensure finalists have the required communications, "people" skills and that they are strategic thinkers
- ensure finalists are qualified for the assignment and can demonstrate this based on their employment history
