Procurement recruitment for Lichfield employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Across the West Midlands, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
The strongest procurement candidates across the West Midlands are usually already buying for businesses such as automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
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 Lichfield run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
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.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
