Challenges in Recruiting Manufacturing Executives

United States Manufacturing faces strong and persistent headwinds. The manufacturing skills gap is a problem that’s only growing bigger, and the shift to digitization as part of Industry 4.0 is a leap many manufacturers are still struggling to take. Building an in-house team of stalwart manufacturing executives has never been more important.

Our executive search firm helps you take control of an uncertain future and bring certainty and success to your manufacturing operations. We know the challenges you face, and we’re prepared to help you face them by introducing you to manufacturing executives with the foresight to overcome them.

• The manufacturing skills gap caused by an aging workforce and the increasing complexities of the manufacturing sector has made finding talent difficult.
• Costly and complex digital technologies are reshaping the industrial landscape, leaving behind companies that are unable or unwilling to embrace them.
• The struggles caused by ongoing supply chain disruption are making it more and more difficult for manufacturers to meet demand and stay consistent in their production.
• Rising material prices and general inflation have significantly raised the cost of domestic manufacturing, leading to margin squeezes.
• Global competition from emerging markets and other producer economies has put tremendous pressure on American manufacturing professionals to innovate and cut costs.
