Hiring a category manager in Keighley? We test the negotiation record and the supplier management, because the role needs both.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Operations at sites such as the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
The strongest procurement candidates across Yorkshire are usually already buying for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Keighley 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.
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.
