Hiring a supply chain manager in Halifax? We test the analytics and the influence, because the role needs both.
The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.
Across Yorkshire, supply chain roles often sit alongside operations at sites such as the M62/M1 corridor, iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley. We search for planners who know that environment.
Hybrid working matters to many planners. We confirm the pattern you can offer before we start the search.
With the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham serving the region, supply chains across Yorkshire often plan national flows as well as local ones.
The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
For a new planning function we can recruit the manager and the analysts together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Halifax run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Heads of supply chain earn well above planners. FMCG and retail often pay more than smaller manufacturers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
Strong analysts become planners and planners become managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
