We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Bodmin and the South West, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Logistics around Bodmin is defined by trunk-road distance from the national network, strong seasonal peaks and a large food and drink base. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Businesses operating from sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Bodmin run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in the South West moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
