We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Ilkeston and the East Midlands, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Operations at sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1 depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Procurement demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ilkeston run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in the East Midlands moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
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.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
