Yusen Logistics

Recruiting A Crucial Senior Position

After successfully placing a number of key positions within their organisation, CSG’s consultant was approached by Yusen’s Managing Director, with the Business Improvement Manager vacancy. As such a key role in a growing, global company, this position required a candidate with a very specific blend of skills and work experience. The role had vast range of responsibilities, managing a large part of the company’s improvement and innovation strategy, so it was pivotal to get someone with the appropriate leadership style.

“I've worked with CSG Talent on recruitment campaigns for our Australian business, and I have found their consultant to be professional and highly knowledgeable across all aspects of the Supply Chain and Logistics industry. Apart from the job requirements (responsibilities, skills, experience), a truly effective recruitment partner seeks to understand your business, your company culture, your strategic direction, and anticipates the types of profiles you recruit on a regular basis; CSG's consultant does exactly this. He presents us with solutions tailored to our business’ needs. On the same token, he understands where he can deliver value and doesn’t try to be all things to all people; an important quality you don’t always find in recruitment.”

The Recruiting Process

We then carried out numerous internal interviews, both face to face and via telephone overseas, selecting candidates based on experience, recommendations, motivations and culture fit. Throughout the whole process CSG maintained regular contact with Yusen.

Our consultant then conducted an in depth, direct head hunt search through CSG's vast network of candidates. CSG conducted expansive networking through our database, taking leads from personal recommendations, candidate references and our own research of the field.

To begin the process, CSG's consultant carried out a detailed market map, and a thorough research of the location he was recruiting into.
