Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the South East.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
From port and Channel freight to retail distribution, employers around Sevenoaks compete hard for experienced permanent people. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Procurement roles across the South East buy for operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
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 look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sevenoaks 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
For Sevenoaks businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
