Hiring a category manager in Rotherham? We test the negotiation record and the supplier management, because the role needs both.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Rotherham draws on Yorkshire's deep distribution and port-logistics labour market, strung along the M62 and M1. Across Yorkshire, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the M1 and A1(M) junction estates across South and West Yorkshire.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
With the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham carrying the region's freight, buyers across Yorkshire often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rotherham 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
