Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Auchterarder, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Operations at sites such as the M90 corridor, Rosyth and the Fife distribution parks depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
The strongest procurement candidates across Tayside & Fife are usually already buying for businesses such as port and coastal logistics, food processing, retail distribution and manufacturing supply chains.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.

We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
