Permanent supply chain analysts, planners and managers for businesses in Whitstable, recruited for the decisions they can make, not just the reports they can run.
A planner who can build the model but cannot persuade the business rarely changes much. We test for both.
Supply chain vacancies across the South East come from grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs planners who can balance service against cost.
Building a planning team from scratch? We can recruit the analysts and the manager together so the cycle runs from month one.
Planners supporting sites such as the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel are often approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent supply chain roles matched to sector, systems and seniority.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
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 Whitstable run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, bonus, flexibility and how much the business listens to its planners. 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.
Contract cover suits a short project. A permanent hire is the answer when the business needs someone to own the plan.
When a planning role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the systems or the scope is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
