FAQ

Everything about Supply Chain hiring in India.

How SCMJobs works, what it costs, and how to get the most out of India's only specialist Supply Chain talent platform.

What is SCMJobs?+

SCMJobs is India's first AI-powered jobs platform built exclusively for Supply Chain Management. We list curated, SCM-only roles across procurement, logistics, warehousing, demand planning, S&OP, sourcing, distribution, freight, cold chain, 3PL, and category management. Every job is matched to candidates on 9 dimensions: skills, tools, certifications, seniority, function, industry, experience, location, and salary.

Is SCMJobs free for candidates?+

Yes. Creating a profile, browsing jobs, applying, getting AI-matched recommendations, running AI mock interviews, and using our resume intelligence tools are 100% free for candidates — forever. Candidates never pay.

How much does it cost a recruiter to hire someone via SCMJobs?+

SCMJobs uses a contingency model. Posting jobs and searching candidates is free. A flat success fee is owed only when you confirm a hire: ₹10,000 + GST for Assistant Manager and below (Analyst, Executive, Specialist, Associate, Coordinator, etc.), and ₹25,000 + GST for Manager and above (Manager, Senior Manager, Head, Director, VP, C-Suite). This is dramatically cheaper than traditional agency fees of 8–12% of CTC.

What is the Engagement Window for the contingency fee?+

180 calendar days from the moment a recruiter clicks "Agree & Unlock Profile" for a candidate. If the candidate is hired within this window — via any channel that traces back to the SCMJobs introduction — the success fee applies. After 180 days, no fee is owed.

How is SCMJobs different from Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed, Shine, or Foundit?+

Those are horizontal job boards covering hundreds of functions. SCM is a small slice for them. SCMJobs is vertical-specialist: every listing is filtered through 25+ SCM-specific keyword categories before publication, matching uses 9 SCM-aware dimensions, and recruiter tools are built around the contingency model rather than annual subscriptions. The result is a smaller but radically more relevant inventory.

Which Supply Chain functions does SCMJobs cover?+

Procurement, Sourcing, Strategic Sourcing, Category Management, Vendor Management, Logistics, Warehousing, Inventory Management, Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Material Planning, Production Planning, Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), Distribution, Freight & Transportation, Cold Chain, 3PL / 4PL, Last-Mile Delivery, Import / Export, Customs, Replenishment, Fulfilment, Dispatch, Inbound / Outbound Operations, and Supply Chain Analytics.

Which Indian cities does SCMJobs cover?+

All major Indian metros — Mumbai, Delhi NCR (Gurgaon, Noida), Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad — plus tier-2 cities and remote/hybrid roles across India.

How does the AI matching engine work?+

When a candidate uploads their resume, our pipeline (powered by Gemini) extracts structured data — skills, tools, certifications, work history, seniority signals, salary range, and SCM functional areas. Each job is similarly parsed. For every candidate–job pair we compute a 0–100 fit score across 9 dimensions, then surface the top matches. We also generate a plain-English match narrative explaining the rationale.

What SCM certifications does the platform recognise?+

All major Indian and global SCM certifications, including APICS CSCP, CPIM, CLTD, CSCMP SCPro, Six Sigma (Green Belt and Black Belt), CIPS, IIMM PGDMM, ITC International Trade certifications, and SAP / Oracle / Coupa module credentials.

How quickly is the job inventory refreshed?+

Every 6 hours. Our crawler pulls from leading career portals plus direct company career pages, runs each candidate listing through the SCM relevance filter, and publishes the survivors. Posting dates are spread over a 30-day window and stale roles are auto-expired.

Is my data safe?+

Yes. SCMJobs complies with the Information Technology Act 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Candidate contact information is never sold to third parties. Recruiters who unlock a profile agree to a contingency agreement that includes data-handling obligations. Candidates can request deletion at any time.

Can I post a job to SCMJobs as an employer?+

Yes. Sign up as an employer at /register?role=employer, complete your company profile, and post unlimited jobs. Posting is free; you only pay on a confirmed hire.

What happens if a candidate I hired leaves shortly after joining?+

Our contingency terms apply to the placement event. If you have a separate replacement guarantee requirement, contact billing@scmjobs.co.in to discuss a custom arrangement before unlocking the profile.

How do I know if a job is relevant to my Supply Chain background?+

Every job page shows the matched SCM function, seniority level, required skills, tools, certifications, and an AI-generated match narrative once you sign in. You'll also get a personalised fit score for jobs you click into.

Does SCMJobs serve only India?+

Today, yes — SCMJobs is India-first and India-focused, with both candidates and employers operating within India. International expansion is on the roadmap.
