Benefits of a long-term strategy in Procurement Recruitment

Bis Henderson’s consultants appreciate that procurement recruitment requires a long-term hiring strategy, with forward planning being equally important as a rapid response to client’s urgent need to fill a vacant role.

The Bis Henderson procurement recruitment team always aim to build lasting relationships with both the employer and potential candidates. This frequently involves liaising closely with the client to not only ensure there is a good understanding of the procurement manager supply market, but also to make them aware of what is likely to motivate a candidate to make a career move. It is also beneficial for the client to have a clear vision of how the company brand is perceived externally.

With the asset of industry experience and expertise, the procurement recruiters are able to advise the employer on how to secure the top talent ahead of competitors. The best candidates may be considering multiple offers and the final decision is rarely made on salary alone. Applicants will often look for the potential to grow the role, especially at CPO level. They may well want an assurance that they will be in a position to drive change and achieve their professional goals. As the employer generally wants to avoid ‘job-hoppers’, candidates with this ambitious and self-driven mind-set are highly valued.
