Hiring a supply chain manager in Thirsk? We test the analytics and the influence, because the role needs both.
The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.
Supply chain employers across North Yorkshire include agri-food and dairy processing, agricultural machinery and supply, retail distribution and regional hauliers. 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 A64 corridor between York and the coast are often approached directly rather than through adverts.
Supply chain roles for retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce.
We ask candidates what happened to forecast accuracy, stock and service on their watch before we talk about their notice period.
Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
Indicative permanent salaries in Thirsk run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
If the offer looks light against the planning market, you hear it from us before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.
For Thirsk businesses planning growth, the right permanent planner protects cash as well as service.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
