Recruitment services in logistics and SCM industries

Logistics / SCM × Global Professionals

Recruitment Market in the Logistics/SCM industries

The importance of logistics has been increasing drastically in today's society due to the large volume of world trade caused by globalization and the rise of the e-commerce industry. There are also a growing need for 3PL and an active movement of Japanese manufacturers to review the supply chain line and to return their manufacturing bases to Japan.

In addition to this growing demand from society as a whole, the logistics industry is faced with a chronic shortage of labour, making it an urgent need to secure sufficient manpower. EPS Japan assists our clients in sourcing international professionals who can respond to changing trends in the international logistics industry and can contribute to the development of your company's business.

Why EPS as a Logistics Recruitment Agency?

Global Professionals (Multilingual Professionals)

EPS has a large database of global professionals (domestic and international), which is a pool of talents who utilize their language abilities in their work. Being able to use multi-languages is also one of the important abilities in the international logistics field, and together with our expertise in the logistics industry, EPS assists many international logistics service providers and logistics divisions of our clients.

Foreign talents
