A supply chain recruitment desk for Dingwall

Supply chain roles are judged on forecast accuracy, service levels and stock. We recruit people who move all three.

Employers around Dingwall recruit for distillery, agri-food and renewables supply chains, plus the operators who keep remote communities supplied. We recruit the analysts and planners who keep those supply chains balanced.

When the Dingwall market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.

Planners supporting sites such as Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports are often approached directly rather than through adverts.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The search

We arrange interviews and any case study, then brief each candidate beforehand.

The offer

We help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A permanent planner learns your products, your customers and your seasonality. That knowledge improves every forecast.

Strong planners value clean data, a seat at the S&OP table and a manager who acts on the numbers.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The sector and the products planned
  • The ERP and planning systems in use
  • Forecast accuracy and service targets
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
