Argentus Talent Acquisition and its contract arm, Contingent Staffing Solutions @work, is an extremely specialised recruitment leader in Supply Chain Management – an employment vertical which is currently experiencing severe skill shortages across most industries in Canada.  Demand for talent in Strategic Sourcing, Category Management, Planning, Logistics and Vendor Management for example, is very high but supply is at an all time critical low.

It’s important to know if your organisation is being competitive in attracting and retaining the top talent in the SCM space. Benefit from the experience Argentus has. We work exclusively in this vertical in both Permanent and Contingent Staffing.
