Supply Chain Recruitment in Thurso

Hiring a supply chain manager in Thurso? We test the analytics and the influence, because the role needs both.

Highlands & Islands

Hiring supply chain people for good in Thurso

Every supply chain candidate we put forward is screened on the plans they owned and the results that followed.

Supply chain employers across the Highlands & Islands include whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.

A supply chain offer competes with retailers, manufacturers and consultancies. We help set salary and bonus so it lands first time.

Planners supporting sites such as the A9 and A82 trunk routes and the northern ferry terminals are often approached directly rather than through adverts.

Our approach in Thurso

Right planner, right sector, right systems

Matched to your sector

Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.

Hybrid terms agreed early

Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.

Pay, clearly

What supply chain professionals earn in Thurso

Indicative permanent salaries in Thurso 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.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The search

We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.

Technical screen

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

Interviews and case studies

We arrange interviews and any case study, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

The brief that works

Contract cover suits a short project. A permanent hire is the answer when the business needs someone to own the plan.

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 sector and the products planned
  • The planning cycle and who attends S&OP
  • The ERP and planning systems in use
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
