Find the Leaders to Drive Your Business Forward

CS Recruiting’s Executive Recruiting Services offer a high-touch, strategic approach to identifying and securing senior leadership talent across the logistics, transportation, and supply chain sectors. Whether you’re hiring a transformational VP of Supply Chain, a PE-backed COO, or a visionary Chief Logistics Officer, we specialize in placing experienced executives across North America who lead with results.

Our Executive Search team combines deep industry insight, personalized service, and market intelligence to support your most important hiring decisions. We understand the ripple effect the right leader can have, and we partner with you to ensure that influence is positive and lasting.

We work with companies hiring for one critical leadership role or building an executive bench to support long-term supply chain transformation. We evaluate every executive not just for leadership and experience, but for alignment with your values, culture, and business goals.

Why Supply Chain Executive Search Requires a Specialized Approach

Executive recruiting in supply chain and logistics is unlike any other industry. Leadership roles in these sectors are directly tied to operational performance, efficiency, and profitability. Filling VP or C-level positions requires more than reviewing résumés. It demands an understanding of how strategic decisions impact the entire network.

Generalist executive search firms and broad executive job placement agencies often struggle because they lack this specialized knowledge. A candidate may seem qualified on paper but fail to meet the demands and intricacies of intermodal freight, temperature-controlled logistics, or warehouse management systems. Without industry-specific expertise, misaligned placements can stall growth and create costly disruptions.

As one of the leading supply chain executive search firms, CS Recruiting brings the expertise needed for high-impact hiring. Our team excels in executive search supply chain management, connecting clients with leaders who can navigate the operational and strategic complexities of the logistics world.
