What does the landscape look like for Manufacturing + P&SC recruitment in 2027?
Despite ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty, demand for Manufacturing and Procurement & Supply Chain talent is likely to remain strong in 2027. Employers continue to face supply chain disruption, rising costs, skills shortages and pressure to modernise operations, which is driving demand for specialist and leadership talent.
Where are candidates willing to compromise on pay, and where won't they budge? What creative solutions are businesses adopting to better meet candidate expectations?
For many manufacturing professionals, salary is no longer the main reason for changing jobs. Our TT26 survey found that candidates place greater value on the right role, a positive culture and clear career progression, with many willing to move for the same salary, or even slightly less, if the opportunity is a good fit. They're less likely to compromise on growth and development, which is why employers are investing in training, development and clear progression opportunities alongside pay.
