Hiring a supply chain manager in Torpoint? We test the analytics and the influence, because the role needs both.
Supply chain roles are judged on forecast accuracy, service levels and stock. We recruit people who move all three.
Across Devon & Cornwall, supply chain roles often sit alongside operations at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates. We search for planners who know that environment.
We ask candidates which planning and ERP systems they have used, how they forecast and what they did when the forecast was wrong.
The strongest supply chain candidates across Devon & Cornwall are usually already planning for businesses such as food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
Permanent supply chain roles matched to sector, systems and seniority.
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.
For a new planning function we can recruit the manager and the analysts together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Torpoint run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Heads of supply chain earn well above planners. FMCG and retail often pay more than smaller manufacturers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
A permanent planner learns your products, your customers and your seasonality. That knowledge improves every forecast.
Strong planners value clean data, a seat at the S&OP table and a manager who acts on the numbers.
