Hiring procurement people for good in Stoke-on-Trent

Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.

Procurement employers across the West Midlands include national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.

Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.

With the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections carrying the region's freight, buyers across the West Midlands often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.

Your brief

The brief that works

Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.

If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • Savings and supplier performance targets
  • Direct or indirect focus
  • Office, site and hybrid working pattern
  • Salary, bonus and benefits
