We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Nailsworth and the South West, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Procurement employers across the South West include port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Businesses operating from sites such as Avonmouth and Severnside, the M5 corridor and the Western Approach parks compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Nailsworth 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
