2025 High-End Independent Talent Report: Industrials

June 17, 2025

Precision Resourcing for Industrial Agility

The industrial sector finds itself at the intersection of reinvention and resilience in 2025. Manufacturers, energy producers, and other industrial leaders are shifting from reactive to reimagined—retooling their portfolios, modernizing legacy systems, and racing to meet the demands of a more volatile global market. In a landscape shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain recalibration, and surging tech adoption, adaptability isn’t just a strength—it’s the operating model of choice.

As changes in tariffs and trade policies accelerate regionalization strategies and expose cost vulnerabilities, forward-leaning industrial firms are embracing transformation as standard operating procedure. They’re decarbonizing operations, reconfiguring supply chains for resilience, and investing in automation, AI, and other tech transformations to drive productivity and efficiency.

Increasingly, they’re tapping on-demand talent to lead and accelerate these shifts—with overall demand rising in the sector by 31% YOY according to Business Talent Group’s proprietary data on independent talent requests across the US and European markets. In fact, many of the skills most requested by industrial leaders—including project management, ERP, operational excellence, and technology and systems implementation—map directly to this year’s transformation agenda.

In this special report, we explore how large and mid-market industrial leaders are leveraging on-demand talent and interim executives to reach new levels of agility and stay competitive in a sector under countless and considerable pressures.
