Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Callander, 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.
Callander is served by Scotland's logistics network, centred on the Central Belt's rail-connected freight parks. Across Scotland, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
With the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen carrying the region's freight, buyers across Scotland often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
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 stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Callander run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in Scotland moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
