Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Solihull, 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 West Midlands include automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Solihull run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
