Procurement recruitment for Devizes employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Procurement employers across the South West include grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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 Devizes run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
