Supply Chain Recruitment in Hartlepool

Permanent supply chain and planning recruitment across the Tees Valley.

Tees Valley

A supply chain recruitment desk for Hartlepool

We look for people who have planned in your sector: retail, FMCG, manufacturing or e-commerce.

Supply chain employers across the Tees Valley include Freeport operators, chemical and bulk logistics, offshore wind supply chains and manufacturing distribution. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.

A supply chain offer competes with retailers, manufacturers and consultancies. We help set salary and bonus so it lands first time.

Employers supplied from sites such as the Teesport container terminal and the Hartlepool and Billingham industrial areas compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The search

We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.

References that matter

We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.

Settling in

We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the systems and the data as they are, not as they will be.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The sector and the products planned
  • The planning cycle and who attends S&OP
  • Forecast accuracy and service targets
  • Your interview process and any case study
