How we identify the Right Procurement Professionals
- Negotiating skills
We understand your business requires senior procurement specialists who can fully interact with the businesses, articulate procurement’s value proposi¬tion, convince management and finance to involve procurement in their contracting and pur¬chasing activities, and be able to communicate with people at all levels, from the shop floor to Chief Exec Level. - Ownership of Spend
We probe each individual, helping us understand whether they owned the spend outright, or if they must went out into the business and influenced the spend. Also, we look for experiential types of qualifications. - Project Examples
We explore each individual’s top 5 projects they delivered i and then reflect on key their influencing and negotiation skills. For example, how was their project formed? Did the project land in their lap because someone came to them for help, or did they actively go out into the business and sell? We probe until we truly understand whether the candidate came from a centralised procurement organisation or more of a centrally led one - Savings Achieved
We understand how the individuals savings’ targets are measured, how each individual savings project was formed and how they went out and influenced the spend?
