Procurement recruitment for Chichester employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
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.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Chichester run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
