Talent, Turbulence & Tech: Inside the New Supply Chain Hiring Playbook with Friddy Hoegener of SCOPE Recruiting Summary: In this episode, Friddy Hoegener shares a practical, real-world view of today’s supply chain talent market, shaped by disruption, shifting demand, and the growing influence of AI. Drawing on experience from both operations and recruiting, Friddy explains why companies often struggle more with defining roles than finding talent, and how rigid requirements can limit hiring success. He also highlights a “split market,” where some sectors are aggressively hiring while others are consolidating. A key theme is the evolving role of AI. Rather than replacing jobs outright, AI is driving efficiency, freeing up time for more strategic, high-value work while reshaping entry-level roles. Bottom line: Success in today’s supply chain comes down to adaptability, strategic thinking, and the ability to turn data into meaningful business decisions.
