Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Devon & Cornwall.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Procurement employers across Devon & Cornwall include food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
Procurement roles across Devon & Cornwall buy for operations at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ivybridge 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
