Hiring a supply chain manager in Oldham? 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 the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
We ask candidates which planning and ERP systems they have used, how they forecast and what they did when the forecast was wrong.
Planners supporting sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal are often approached directly rather than through adverts.
The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.
We confirm which planning and ERP systems candidates use, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
Indicative permanent salaries in Oldham 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.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
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.
For Oldham businesses planning growth, the right permanent planner protects cash as well as service.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the systems and the data as they are, not as they will be.
