From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Hitchin who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Operations at sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement demand across the East of England follows port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hitchin run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
