Why Work with Zirakian Day Associates, LLC
Companies choose Zirakian Day Associates, LLC because the firm brings real functional knowledge to the search process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Zirakian Day Associates, LLC different from a general staffing agency?
Zirakian Day Associates, LLC focuses exclusively on supply chain recruiting. That means the firm’s network, screening criteria, and candidate evaluation process are built around supply chain functions specifically, including procurement, logistics, demand planning, S&OP, manufacturing operations, and executive leadership. A generalist staffing agency may fill a supply chain job title, but without the functional knowledge to distinguish a demand planner from a warehouse coordinator, the candidate quality is inconsistent. Zirakian Day Associates, LLC brings the domain familiarity to evaluate candidates at a technical level before they reach a hiring manager’s desk.
Does Zirakian Day Associates, LLC recruit for South Carolina manufacturing companies specifically?
Yes. The firm is headquartered in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area and serves clients and candidates nationwide, including South Carolina’s manufacturing sector. Through its membership in the NPA Global Network, Zirakian Day Associates, LLC can conduct national searches without geographic limitation, making it possible to source qualified candidates for South Carolina-based roles across the full supply chain function spectrum.
What types of supply chain roles does Zirakian Day Associates, LLC typically fill?
The firm places candidates across a broad range of supply chain functions, from mid-level individual contributors to C-suite leaders. Common search areas include procurement and sourcing, demand and supply planning, S&OP, logistics and distribution, transportation management, inventory optimization, and executive leadership roles such as VP of Supply Chain, Chief Supply Chain Officer, and Chief Procurement Officer. The firm tailors its sourcing approach to the specific functional requirements of each open role rather than applying a one-size-fits-all process.
How does the firm evaluate candidates for technical supply chain roles?
Zirakian Day Associates, LLC screens candidates based on their direct experience with the processes, systems, and functional challenges relevant to each role. For demand planning positions, that includes familiarity with planning tools such as Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, or o9, as well as hands-on experience participating in or leading S&OP cycles. For procurement roles, the firm evaluates sourcing strategy experience, supplier relationship management, and category expertise. The goal is to present candidates who can contribute meaningfully to the role from early in their tenure, not candidates who simply carry the right job title.
Does Zirakian Day Associates, LLC work with small and midsized manufacturers, or only large enterprises?
The firm works with both. Zirakian Day Associates, LLC has a strong track record with small to midsized businesses that need a personalized, hands-on recruiting relationship, as well as with larger industrial and manufacturing clients that require specialized searches for senior or executive supply chain talent. The approach is adapted based on the client’s team size, operational complexity, and hiring requirements, rather than applying a single process regardless of company scale.
How do I start a search with Zirakian Day Associates, LLC?
The best starting point is a direct conversation about what your open role requires operationally. Use the contact form on this page to share some basic information about the position and your organization, and a member of the Zirakian Day Associates, LLC team will follow up to discuss the functional requirements, timeline, and how the firm can support your search. The intake process is designed to give the team enough context to source accurately from the start, rather than submitting a broad slate of candidates and narrowing from there.
