Supply chain recruitment for Poole employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.
We look for people who have planned in your sector: retail, FMCG, manufacturing or e-commerce.
Goods across the South West move through the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Planners who understand that network plan with fewer surprises.
When the Poole market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.
Across the South West, planners and analysts are hired by port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Supply chain roles for retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce.
Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.
We confirm which planning and ERP systems candidates use, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
Indicative permanent salaries in Poole run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Supply chain pay in the South West moves with seniority, sector and scope: planners who own S&OP or large inventories usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
A planner who knows last year's forecast mistakes is far less likely to repeat them.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
