Procurement Recruitment in Perth

We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Perth and Scotland, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.

Tayside & Fife

Recruiting buyers in Perth

A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.

Procurement vacancies across Tayside & Fife come from food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.

A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.

Procurement roles across Tayside & Fife buy for operations at sites such as Glenrothes and Dunfermline industrial estates and the A90 corridor.

Procurement FAQs

Common questions

How do you assess procurement candidates?

We look at the categories and spend they have managed, the savings they can evidence, the negotiations they have led and their right to work.

Do procurement candidates need CIPS?

Not always. Some employers ask for a CIPS qualification and others put more weight on experience. Tell us which matters for your role and we will screen for it.

Can you recruit hybrid procurement roles?

Yes. Tell us the office and site days and we will only approach buyers who can work that pattern.

Do you also recruit supply chain roles?

Yes. Our supply chain desk recruits demand and supply planners, analysts and supply chain managers.

I work in procurement. How do I find my next role?

Upload your CV and tell us your categories, your spend and the kind of role you want. We will contact you when a permanent role fits.
