Only one in four supply chain and procurement managers include salary range in job advertisements despite 82% of candidates wanting to see this information.

This was one of the findings of a survey released this week by recruitment specialist Hudson Supply Chain & Procurement.

The company found many supply chain and procurement hiring managers are using recruitment practices that fail to engage supply chain and procurement professionals.

The survey of 132 supply chain and procurement hiring managers nationally shows many employers simply don't have their finger on the pulse when it comes to knowing what motivates job seekers. As a result, they are missing out on attracting the best people in the market.

The research found that just one in four (26%) of employers include salary information in their job advertisements while only 37% include information on career development opportunities and 38% cover the provision of training in their advertisements.
