Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Stourbridge, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Across the West Midlands, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
If buying talent is scarce around Stourbridge, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
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.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stourbridge 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
