We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Helensburgh and Scotland, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Procurement vacancies across Scotland come from grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Procurement roles across Scotland buy for operations at sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
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 stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Helensburgh run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
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.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
