In 2017, we founded SCOPE Recruiting as a boutique supply chain recruiting firm. Based in Huntsville, Alabama, with a nationwide reach, we left successful careers in the industry to help companies attract and hire top talent. With firsthand experience in supply chain and operations, we’re uniquely qualified to connect businesses with professionals who drive results and growth.
Founder | Head of Operations
SCOPE Recruiting began with a simple realization: traditional recruiters often don’t understand the work they’re hiring for.
Melissa, a former Global Category Manager, saw this firsthand when she transitioned from supply chain operations to the recruiting world. She noticed a glaring gap that still exists today: most recruiters are talented at the "process," but they lack the technical depth to truly vet a candidate’s supply chain expertise.
Recognizing the need for a firm that speaks the industry’s language, Melissa and Friddy co-founded SCOPE Recruiting.
Both former supply chain leaders with backgrounds in global manufacturing and procurement, they lead a firm that reverses the standard industry model: we hire supply chain experts and teach them how to recruit.
Nearly a decade later, SCOPE remains dedicated to that founding principle. Every recruiter on our team comes from logistics, procurement, or operations leadership. We don’t just read resumes; we understand the complexities of the roles we fill because we’ve sat in those seats ourselves.
What began as a shared vision is now a nationally recognized search firm. We help global organizations hire with confidence, grounded in real-world experience, measurable results, and an unwavering focus on finding the right fit the first time.

Work With Us
Successful hiring requires a rare blend of deep industry knowledge and modern recruiting discipline. At SCOPE, we sit at the intersection of both. We combine operational supply chain roots with a rigorous search process to attract the top 10% of passive talent.
This dual perspective allows us to speak your language while providing the data-driven precision HR leadership expects. Our methodology delivers the specialized performance your operations demand.
We don’t guess; we map. We start by developing a customized supply chain talent acquisition strategy and a decision map of your key stakeholders. By defining essential "must-haves" versus "nice-to-haves" early, we ensure all decision-makers are aligned on scope before our outreach begins. You get a clear roadmap that avoids wasted effort and prevents project drift later.
We provide more than just resumes. We benchmark your role against live market data, including compensation trends and professional role mapping. If specific requirements misalign with current market reality, we provide the insights needed to define realistic benchmarks immediately. You get access to talent data that keeps your offer competitive and your expectations grounded in reality.
The top 10% of supply chain talent is rarely found on job boards. We focus our search on the 70% of the market that is currently passive—high performers who are heads-down delivering results. By leveraging our deep industry networks, we connect you to exclusive talent that never enters the open market. You reach proven performers before they become available to your competitors.
Every candidate is rigorously assessed by an expert supply chain recruiter against a custom Scorecard tailored to your unique operational environment. We measure past results, technical competence, and cultural fit through structured, performance-based conversations. This meticulous, evidence-based approach removes bias and ensures long-term organizational alignment. You receive a vetted shortlist of qualified, high-caliber, ready-to-interview professionals who truly fit.
Our partnership extends beyond the final interview. We lead offer strategies to prevent late-stage drop-offs and manage counteroffers strategically. To protect your talent investment, we provide a 90-day candidate guarantee and support the onboarding phase to ensure immediate traction. This commitment reinforces organizational alignment and strengthens long-term retention. You get expert support that ensures lasting success.
With a background in supply chain and a passion for connecting people, I transitioned into recruiting to help businesses find the right talent. After a rewarding day, I love to unwind with a glass of iced unsweet tea and catch up on my favorite Bravo shows—my perfect way to relax.
Bringing my supply chain expertise and passion for people to recruiting, I found my true calling in helping companies find the right talent to fuel their growth. My deep industry knowledge and personal approach make me a trusted partner nationwide. Outside of work, I enjoy family time in Huntsville, AL, and perfecting my fantasy football strategy.
I strive to create a fun and safe workplace, drawing from my experience in fitness and recruiting to positively impact others. My passion for teamwork often leads me to leadership roles, which drives my work. Outside of the office, I enjoy Manchester United, movies, great food, and traveling the world with my wife and our dog.
Sr. Supply Chain Recruiter
After years in operations and manufacturing, I discovered my real passion is helping people grow their careers by building genuine relationships and matching the right talent with the right roles—a level of commitment I maintain much more consistently than the Green Bay Packers do in the postseason.

As SCOPE's Marketing Manager, I thrive on turning brand strategy into stories that actually connect with people. My background in creative storytelling has taught me that a great brand is built on more than just "likes"—it's about building authentic digital communities.
Marketing Manager
I take pride in matching great talent with rewarding careers in the Supply Chain sector, partnering with employers from startups to Fortune 500 companies. My focus is on finding the right fit for both candidates and clients. Outside of work, I’m a fan of the Memphis Grizzlies, TN Volunteers.
Sr. Supply Chain & Logistics Recruiter
After starting my career in supply chain, I quickly realized that what I loved most wasn’t just solving logistics problems—it was working with people. Recruiting gave me the perfect path to combine both. Today, I get to help companies grow by finding the right talent and help candidates take meaningful steps in their careers.
Meet our Security and Morale Officers, Milo and Colby! Milo, our 4-year-old Border Collie, keeps a sharp eye on the office, ensuring everyone is safe. Colby, our 13-year-old Memphis street rescue, is the heart of our team, boosting morale with his gentle nature. Together, they bring joy, comfort, and a sense of home to SCOPE Recruiting.
Security & Morale Officer
The team at SCOPE Recruiting were great partners in our confidential CEO search. They carefully managed the sensitivity of our situation, delivered top-notch candidates, and were great partners to us in this search. We look forward to working with them again in the future.
I have never been left waiting for answers or feedback from SCOPE Recruiting. They are proactive in communication with both us and our candidates, and have found superb candidates for our growing business.
We needed a Director of Operations who could seamlessly transition into an upcoming VP role and lead several major growth-oriented initiatives. The team delivered candidates who all had the potential and experience to thrive in both roles. Our now VP has made a huge impact to our organization, and we would highly recommend SCOPE Recruiting to other organizations. Their prompt communication and delivery was very appreciated.
In a transforming business, you can’t afford to make hiring mistakes. The team at SCOPE took the time to understand our corporate culture and found quality professionals to lead the future of our organization.
