Supply chain recruitment for Totnes employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.
A planner who can build the model but cannot persuade the business rarely changes much. We test for both.
Businesses supplied through sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks depend on forecasts that hold up. We match planners to that pressure.
A planner who leaves after a few months takes the model, the history and the relationships with them.
With the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth serving the region, supply chains across Devon & Cornwall often plan national flows as well as local ones.
Supply chain roles for retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
Indicative permanent salaries in Totnes run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
