Purchasing, Supply Chain and Logistics Recruitment
Skilled professionals within purchasing and supply chain are always very highly sought-after, since a strong department can make a significant difference to any organisation. Operational savings mean that roles within this sector are often easy to justify, in terms of recruitment investment. Savings come from improved sourcing and better trading terms with suppliers, reduced inventory holdings, better stock availability and effective transportation of goods and materials. The move to just-in-time deliveries, in both the manufacturing and retail worlds, means that the purchasing, supply chain and logistics sector has to work harder and smarter than ever before.
