Procurement Recruitment in Glenrothes

Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Tayside & Fife.

Tayside & Fife

Buyers and category managers in Glenrothes

Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.

Procurement employers across Tayside & Fife include food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.

Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.

Businesses operating from sites such as the Port of Dundee and the Dundee and Perth industrial estates compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.

How it works

How we find the buyer

Commercial screen

We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.

We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.

Your brief

Setting up the search

A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.

We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • The main suppliers and contract renewal dates
  • The procurement and ERP systems in use
  • Savings and supplier performance targets
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
