FAQs

We have in-depth knowledge of the East Midlands market. Yet, our extensive candidate network enables us to broaden our search for interim and senior-level procurement positions.

We serve clients such as Boots, BCM, JCB, Next, Refressco and Vision Express. Our focus is on partnering with both SMEs and major blue-chip companies in the East Midlands, assisting in sourcing procurement candidates across various roles. The larger your procurement team, the more support we can provide!

Our proactive approach to sourcing the best procurement hire for your position includes the following steps:

  • We assess your hiring needs, company culture and role requirements, using our market expertise to create a tailored job specification.
  • We run a full advert campaign through various channels, including national job boards, to ensure maximum exposure and reach a wide range of potential supply chain hires.
  • We meticulously evaluate each individual’s skills, experience and overall fit with your company’s culture. This ensures that only the most suitable procurement candidates make it to the shortlist.
  • We handle all communication with candidates to simplify the process and save you time. This encompasses scheduling interviews, assessments, and any other essential steps in the selection process.
  • Our commitment doesn’t end after the placement. We conduct post-placement check-ins with you and the candidate to ensure satisfaction and address any potential issues.

We support experienced direct and indirect procurement professionals, plus CIPS or MCIPS-qualified candidates in the £35-£80k bracket. The job titles we advertise include:

  • Buyer
  • Category Manager
  • Demand Planner
  • Global Procurement Leader
  • Indirect Procurement Manager
  • Indirect Buyer
  • Purchasing Manager
  • Planning Manager
  • Purchasing Assistant
  • Supply Chain Manager
  • Supply Planner
  • Senior Category Buyer

Our roles usually involve a combination of hybrid and office-based schedules. In the FMCG or retail sector, it’s more common to see two days at home, whereas manufacturing and engineering businesses require their teams to be in the office full-time.

We start by understanding your job search goals, such as gaining higher pay, better flexibility or further career development. These details allow us to accurately present you to supply chain employers, understand which businesses are suitable, and ensure that your work with them will be mutually beneficial.

Rather than only recommending you for active vacancies, we expand your opportunities by marketing our candidates to suitable businesses that may be interested but not publicly hiring.

You’ll receive interview coaching to ensure you’re fully prepared and we will manage the negotiation process on your behalf. Finally, we respect that accepting a job offer is your decision and will never pressure you.
