We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Camborne and the South West, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Procurement employers across Devon & Cornwall include food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
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.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Indicative permanent salaries in Camborne run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
