Permanent supply chain and planning recruitment across the West Midlands.
Permanent supply chain hires should leave the plan better than they found it.
Supply chain employers across the West Midlands include national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres. 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.
Employers supplied from sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.
Planning, inventory, analytics and S&OP roles.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
A short list with notes on sector, systems and the results each candidate delivered.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stoke-on-Trent run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare bonus, hybrid working, pension and the scope of the role. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
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.
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.
