In 2017, we founded SCOPE Recruiting as a boutique supply chain recruiting firm. Based in Huntsville, Alabama, with a nationwide reach, we left successful industry careers to solve a frustrating problem: standard agencies simply do not understand the complex roles they are trying to fill.
Having spent years working directly in supply chain and operations, we knew what it actually took to do the work. We built SCOPE to be the firm that finally speaks the industry's language—relying on our firsthand experience to connect businesses with professionals who drive real results.
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 great at managing a process, but they lack the technical depth to truly vet a candidate’s supply chain expertise.
Recognizing the need for a firm that actually speaks the industry’s language, Melissa and Friddy co-founded SCOPE Recruiting.
As former supply chain leaders with backgrounds in global manufacturing and procurement, they built 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 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.
Before founding SCOPE, I built my career in supply chain operations as a Global Category Manager. I pivoted to recruiting to ensure companies get candidates vetted by true industry peers, not generalists. After a rewarding day of matching elite talent, I love to grab a cold glass of iced unsweet tea and head outdoors to wrangle our three young kids at the park.
Before SCOPE, I built my career in global manufacturing and procurement. We started SCOPE to fill a gap even niche recruiters miss: the ability to speak the industry’s language and truly vet technical expertise. Outside work, I trade logistics for dog agility, competing in sheepherding with our Border Collie, Milo.
Before joining SCOPE, I managed operations, forecasting, and vendor negotiations for a multi-site organization. I leverage that operational background to vet technical candidates and connect global companies with elite supply chain talent. Outside of recruiting, I love watching Manchester United, finding great food, and traveling the world with my wife.

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.

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.

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.
