    CSCMP Member Charlie Saffro is President & Founder of CS Recruiting, a leading recruiting firm, founded in 2011, which specializes in supply chain logistics and transportation. In this truly engaging conversation, Charlie touches on the “Great Resignation” occurring across many industries and how the shift to humanize our workforce is now necessary in company cultures to accommodate candidates and employee needs–not only for career growth and pay, but also virtual and remote flexibility. She encourages candidates to “know your value” and explore opportunities as the knowledge gained in supply chain crosses over well across the industry. Charlie has gained the most from her CSCMP membership by attending the annual EDGE Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition for networking and building relationships as well as the educational opportunities at the conference and through CSCMP. She considers CSCMP a beneficial platform to connect with likeminded individuals where members can leverage relationships to take the next steps in their supply chain careers. Listen to the end to hear how she’s spreading her company’s values with the Kindness Rock Project. Utilize our CSCMP community by becoming a member and joining us at EDGE 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia this September.

  • The Future is Female

    TYCOON Magazine

    I founded CS Recruiting over 10 years ago with no real intention of starting a business. I had just delivered my third son and was leveraging my experience in recruiting and logistics to take on freelance projects to keep my head in the game. Little did I know at the time that I had stumbled into a much-needed niche service and there was essentially unlimited opportunity to help companies hire the right talent in our industry.
