What administrative staffing takes off your plate

Lead time slippage Seen weeks early, while it is still cheap
Expedite fees Avoided by planning, not paid by surprise
Stockouts Prevented at the plan, not explained after
Supplier chasing Continuous, not whenever there is time
Customs clearance Entries filed so inputs keep moving
Transparent pricing

Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.

Every supply chain role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.

When to hire

When expedite fees become routine

Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.

Slippage seen too late A supplier delay surfaces when the stock runs out.
Expedite fees routine Paying for speed has become a normal cost.
Forecasts made once Demand plans get set and then never revisited.
Supplier follow up deprioritized Chasing happens only when something has gone wrong.
Do any of these sound familiar?
  • A supplier slips and you find out late.
  • Expedite fees have become normal.
  • Stockouts get explained, not prevented.
  • Demand plans are set once a year.
  • Supplier follow-up loses to whatever is urgent.
  • Imported inputs sit waiting on paperwork.

Model fit

Where your supply chain staff work best

Hire in the US when
  • Supplier plant audits happen on site
  • Customs bonds need a domestic contact
  • The seat inspects incoming materials
Hire globally when
  • Demand modeling is desk based
  • Materials phasing is planning work
  • Supplier follow up is email and calls

Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.

Role / responsibility Global US direct hire Why
Demand forecasting Global Desk based, staffs globally
Materials phasing Global Planning work with no location benefit
Supplier qualification research Global Desk work, runs from anywhere
Customs entry coordination Global Document work, staffs globally
Supplier plant audits US direct hire Conducted on site
Incoming material inspection US direct hire Requires physical checking
Purchase order expediting Global Chasing work, staffs globally
Inventory policy modeling Global Analysis, runs from anywhere

One partner, onshore and global

A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.

FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

Which supply chain seat should we hire first?

Usually the Supply Chain Analyst, because seeing lead time slippage early is what makes everything downstream cheaper. Manufacturers whose problem is supplier coverage rather than visibility should start with the Sourcing Specialist. We will ask what your longest supplier lead time is before recommending.

Can supply chain planning be staffed globally?

Yes, nearly all of it. Demand modeling, materials phasing, supplier qualification and customs coordination happen in your planning systems and over email, so they staff globally. Supplier site audits and anything requiring a physical inspection stay with a US direct hire on your payroll.

How quickly can we add planning capacity?

Shortlist in 10 calendar days from the discovery call, onboarding in 21 days. Both sourcing and 5-Stage Vetting run inside that window. Because the value here is seeing a problem earlier, the sooner a planner is in place the more of the current cycle they can still influence.

Will these hires work in our planning software?

Yes. Planners work in the planning and purchasing modules you already run, to your reorder rules, your safety stock policy and your supplier terms. Fluency is tested during vetting, so someone presented as a Demand Planner has built a forecast from real history in an exercise.

Can we scale planning support with volume?

Yes. Fully managed global seats run month to month, so planning capacity can follow production volume without severance exposure, and US direct hires stay permanent employees on your payroll. Continuous supplier follow up is the part worth protecting rather than flexing.

What does a supply chain analyst cost?

Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month, which is where demand modeling and supplier follow up sit. Plant audits stay onsite. US Direct Hire is $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront. One avoided expedite fee often covers a month of the seat.

Can they negotiate with our suppliers?

They can run the follow up, hold suppliers to agreed dates and prepare the analysis behind a negotiation. Whether they hold commercial authority is your call and most manufacturers keep it domestic at first, then extend it once the seat has proven its judgment on lead times.

How is this different from purchasing?

Purchasing raises and chases the order. This desk decides what to order and when, based on demand and lead times. Smaller manufacturers run both in one seat; once you are carrying imported inputs and real lead time risk, they become different jobs with different skills.
