Supply chain recruitment for Rushden employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.
Permanent supply chain hires should leave the plan better than they found it.
Supply chain employers across the East Midlands include national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. 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 Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport are often approached directly rather than through adverts.
The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
A short list with notes on sector, systems and the results each candidate delivered.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rushden run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
We benchmark against live offers for similar planning roles, not historic salary data. 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 help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Strong analysts become planners and planners become managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the systems and the data as they are, not as they will be.
