Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Zirakian Day Associates, LLC different from a generalist recruiting firm for supply chain roles?
Zirakian Day Associates, LLC focuses exclusively on supply chain talent, which means the firm understands the functional difference between a warehouse operations role and an S&OP analyst position before a search even begins. Generalist recruiters often rely on job title matching, which results in candidates who look right on paper but lack the specific skills a supply chain leader actually needs. Zirakian Day Associates, LLC recruits with domain fluency, evaluating candidates against the real operational requirements of the role rather than a surface-level title match.
Does Zirakian Day Associates, LLC recruit for executive supply chain roles, or only mid-level positions?
Zirakian Day Associates, LLC handles searches across the full span of supply chain seniority, from individual contributor roles like demand planners and procurement analysts to senior leadership positions including Director of Supply Chain, VP of Supply Chain, and Chief Supply Chain Officer. Executive searches receive a particularly detailed intake process, since the stakes of a mis-hire at that level are higher and the candidate pool is more competitive. The firm’s approach to executive supply chain recruiting is outlined on its dedicated specialty page for those searches.
How does Zirakian Day Associates, LLC approach candidate evaluation beyond reviewing resumes?
Resumes provide a starting point, but the firm’s evaluation process goes considerably further. Recruiters at Zirakian Day Associates, LLC conduct in-depth conversations with candidates about their specific experience with tools, processes, and environments relevant to the open role, including ERP platforms, demand planning systems, S&OP cycles, and supplier relationship management. Cultural alignment with the hiring organization is assessed in parallel, so that candidates presented to a client have been vetted on both dimensions before a hiring manager spends time on an interview.
Can Zirakian Day Associates, LLC support a search outside of Georgia or the Southeast?
Yes. While Zirakian Day Associates, LLC serves manufacturers and supply chain organizations across Georgia and the broader Southeast, the firm conducts searches nationwide. Through its membership in the NPA Global Network, Zirakian Day Associates, LLC has sourcing reach across all major US markets, making it fully capable of running a national search for a Georgia-based employer who needs access to a wider candidate pool, or for any organization operating across multiple locations.
What types of industries does Zirakian Day Associates, LLC serve within the supply chain space?
The firm works across a range of industries where supply chain complexity is high, including industrial manufacturing, consumer goods, food and beverage production, distribution and third-party logistics, and companies managing significant procurement or inventory operations. The common thread is that these organizations need recruiters who understand supply chain operations specifically, not just general business hiring. Zirakian Day Associates, LLC tailors each search to the operational context of the hiring company rather than applying a one-size approach across industries.
How does Zirakian Day Associates, LLC support the hiring process after a candidate is placed?
Zirakian Day Associates, LLC stays engaged beyond the offer acceptance. The firm maintains contact with both the hiring organization and the placed candidate through the onboarding period to address any concerns early and support a smooth transition into the role. This follow-through reflects the firm’s focus on long-term placement success rather than treating a signed offer as the end of its responsibility. Building lasting partnerships with clients means caring about whether the hire works out, not just whether the search closes.
