Operators Finding Operators. Proven Leaders Who Know How To Deliver.

Our operator-led approach helps organizations identify proven leaders with the experience, judgment, accountability, and capabilities required to make an impact.
INSIGHT
Why Supply Chain & Operations Teams Keep Losing Good People.
DMG helps organizations find, assess, develop, and retain the people who drive performance. Our firsthand operating experience brings a practical perspective to talent—from identifying proven operators to developing busy leaders within the realities of the responsibilities they already own.
Supply chain, distribution, transportation, and operations organizations face more than a recruiting challenge. They face a leadership, talent evaluation, and retention problem. Research reinforces the importance of getting these decisions right. According to SHRM’s reporting on the 2024 iHire Talent Retention Report, 32.4% of departing employees cited a negative work environment, 30.3% cited poor company leadership, and 27.7% cited dissatisfaction with their manager. Gallup research found that employees receiving high-quality recognition were 45% less likely to leave their organizations over a two-year period. Meanwhile, LinkedIn’s 2024 Workplace Learning Report found that companies with strong learning cultures demonstrated 57% higher retention rates than those with weaker learning cultures. These findings aren’t specific to supply chain, but they reinforce a critical business reality: Hiring the right people is only half the challenge. Organizations must recognize proven performance, develop leadership capability, establish accountability, and create environments where their best people want to stay.
DMG brings firsthand operating experience to every search. We understand the responsibilities behind the title, the difference between participating in results and actually delivering them, and the leadership required to build teams that perform. That experience helps us ask better questions, challenge the résumé, recognize proven performance, and identify leaders who fit the realities of the role—not simply the job description.

The Cost of the Wrong Hire Goes Well Beyond the Position
A poor leadership hire can affect far more than recruiting costs. It can disrupt operations, reduce productivity, weaken accountability, and drive valuable employees out of the organization. Gallup research found that managers account for 70% of the variance in team engagement, reinforcing just how much leadership quality influences organizational performance.
DMG brings more than 30 years of hands-on operating experience to the recruiting process. We understand the responsibilities, operating pressures, and performance expectations behind the positions we’re asked to fill. That experience allows us to look beyond the résumé and identify leaders who can manage the operation, develop their teams, take ownership of results, and deliver measurable business performance.
Great Operations Require Great People. Find The Ones Who Can Deliver
The impact of the wrong hire goes well beyond recruiting fees. It shows up in missed targets, weak execution, lost productivity, turnover, and leadership time spent correcting the problem. DMG brings real operating experience to the search, helping you identify people who understand the work, own the outcome, and can perform in the environment you actually operate.
