Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Radcliffe, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Procurement employers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
If buying talent is scarce around Radcliffe, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool carrying the region's freight, buyers across the North West often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
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 Radcliffe run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
For Radcliffe businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
