Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across Devon & Cornwall and their supply chains.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Across Devon & Cornwall, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
If buying talent is scarce around Crediton, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
With the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth carrying the region's freight, buyers across Devon & Cornwall 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.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Crediton 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
