Hiring a supply chain manager in Dunoon? We test the analytics and the influence, because the role needs both.
A planner who can build the model but cannot persuade the business rarely changes much. We test for both.
Businesses supplied through sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates depend on forecasts that hold up. We match planners to that pressure.
We ask candidates which planning and ERP systems they have used, how they forecast and what they did when the forecast was wrong.
The strongest supply chain candidates across Scotland are usually already planning for businesses such as grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.
The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.
Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.
We confirm which planning and ERP systems candidates use, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dunoon run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, bonus, flexibility and how much the business listens to its planners. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
A planner who knows last year's forecast mistakes is far less likely to repeat them.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
