Hiring a supply chain manager in Merton? We test the analytics and the influence, because the role needs both.
Every supply chain candidate we put forward is screened on the plans they owned and the results that followed.
Supply chain employers across London & the South East include urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the model, the history and the relationships with them.
Planners supporting sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots are often approached directly rather than through adverts.
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.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Merton run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
We arrange interviews and any case study, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.
Contract cover suits a short project. A permanent hire is the answer when the business needs someone to own the plan.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the systems and the data as they are, not as they will be.
