In this blog article, we discuss how we can help you find the right candidates for your procurement positions.
Why do you need a specialized buyer?
The purchasing department is an essential part of any company that purchases technical materials, goods or services. A good buyer will ensure that your business gets value for money and that the products or services you purchase are of the right quality and delivered on time.
If you are looking for a new purchasing manager, tactical buyer or technical buyer, you need someone with relevant experience within your specific industry.

The use of senior consultants
As a recruitment agency, we can employ a senior technical consultant to help you find the right candidates for your procurement vacancies.
Our consultants often have years of experience in the procurement industry and are highly skilled at finding suitable candidates.
Within our team, we also have a good understanding of the specific requirements of the procurement function and can help you create the right job description and selection criteria. To look for the right candidate, we dig through our database, among other things.
Using a large database
We have, because of our long time in business, access to the largest database of qualified candidates for procurement vacancies.
This means we can quickly find the best candidates for your position, without you having to invest a lot of time and resources in searching for new staff yourself. By using this database, we can significantly speed up your recruitment process and make it more efficient.
Active recruitment and international recruitment
If you need or want to fill a procurement vacancy at short notice, we can help you with active recruitment and international recruitment. Active recruitment means that we actively search for candidates for your vacancy, rather than waiting for candidates to apply.
We will do this, for example, through advertising on job boards, social media and approaching suitable candidates within our network.
International recruitment can also come in handy if you are looking for a buyer with specific knowledge or skills that are hard to find in your home region. It can also be very interesting when you operate internationally as a company.
Xentys has international experience so we can also provide you with good support in finding suitable candidates from other countries.
