From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Woking who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Operations at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Across the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Woking 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
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.
