Facilitating Recruitment and Executive Search Support for a Multi-country Retail and Distribution Company

Client Challenge

AVK Philippines faced urgent hiring demands driven by business growth and rising operational needs. While it already had an internal recruitment team, additional support was needed to broaden market reach and engage passive candidates for key roles, particularly in logistics and supply chain, which were critical to managing increasing shipment and delivery volumes.
