Tina Nugraheni, the head of both Monroe’s Industrial and Technologies divisions, said there was a growing need for Technology-based companies, even in the Consumer Goods sector, to move toward a digitalized approach to logistics.
“There are new major developments on an almost weekly basis,” the headhunting executive said.
“Last week, Kargo, an ‘Uber for trucks’ startup in Jakarta founded by a former executive from Uber Asia, secured $7.6 million in funding – the logistics industry is extremely dynamic.”
She said there were 26 major national and multinational freight forwarding and warehousing operators in Indonesia, five major post and courier companies and a growing number of operators in the E-commerce logistics market.
Mr Sidiq said Indonesian companies were beginning to embrace Industry 4.0 and were realising there is a shortage of key executives or hard-to-source technology talent in Indonesia.
“All our headhunters are experienced executive recruitment consultants who have specialized in these industries for many years and know how to source and recruit the key people that are needed to help their client companies grow and make money,” he said.
“In addition to the technology professionals we are seeing an increased need for executives across the entire business, from sales, marketing and business development executives to financial, operational and human resources professionals.”
Ms Nugraheni said the executive search agency’s regular Breakfast Event was another way the company’s recruitment consultants could remain briefed on the states of various industries in Indonesia.
Executives interested in attending future events were welcome to contact her, she said.
