We recruit demand planners, supply planners and S&OP leads for Ilford and London & the South East, screened on the forecasts and plans they have owned.
Every supply chain candidate we put forward is screened on the plans they owned and the results that followed.
Supply chain vacancies across London & the South East come from e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres. Each needs planners who can balance service against cost.
We ask candidates which planning and ERP systems they have used, how they forecast and what they did when the forecast was wrong.
Employers supplied from sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.
Permanent supply chain roles, from analysts to heads of supply chain.
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 Ilford run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
If the offer looks light against the planning market, you hear it from us before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.
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.
Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
