Supply Chain Recruitment in Saffron Walden

Permanent supply chain analysts, planners and managers for businesses in Saffron Walden, recruited for the decisions they can make, not just the reports they can run.

East of England

Hiring supply chain people for good in Saffron Walden

We look for people who have planned in your sector: retail, FMCG, manufacturing or e-commerce.

Goods across the East of England move through the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. Planners who understand that network plan with fewer surprises.

When the Saffron Walden market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.

Supply chain demand across the East of England follows port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.

Technical screen

Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.

The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.

Your brief

The brief that works

Strong analysts become planners and planners become managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.

Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The planning cycle and who attends S&OP
  • Inventory value and stock targets
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any case study
