A procurement recruitment desk for Kirkby-in-Ashfield

The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.

Procurement employers across the East Midlands include big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.

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 the East Midlands buy for operations at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall.

How it works

Our process, step by step

Commercial screen

Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.

Interviews and presentations

We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.

Offer and notice

We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.

Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • Direct or indirect focus
  • Salary, bonus and benefits
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any presentation
