Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Basingstoke, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Operations at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
If buying talent is scarce around Basingstoke, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover carrying the region's freight, buyers across the South East often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Basingstoke run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For Basingstoke businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
