This webinar took place on Thursday 16 October | 11:00 BST

Procurement and supply is a highly skilled profession that requires a robust and diverse skill set. A commitment to ongoing technical and personal skills development remains essential to succeed as a procurement and supply professional. And yet, as procurement headcounts grow to meet the challenges of a volatile global economy, hiring managers continue to find that those skills are in short supply.

The CIPS Procurement & Supply Salary Guide 2025, in partnership with Hays, yielded valuable insights into where and why companies are struggling to find the skilled professionals they need.

This webinar explored key questions, including:

  • The five key skills hiring managers are looking for
  • The specific abilities they’re struggling to find
  • How they’re upskilling their in-house talent
  • What professionals can do to stand out

From procurement qualifications to “soft” skills, the range of abilities procurement teams need is wide and deep. This on-demand webinar helps you cut through the fog and understand what the challenge for the profession really looks like.
