From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Didcot who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Across the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Across the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Didcot 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.
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.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
