Procurement/Supply Chain Recruiting Specialist

We are seeking a Procurement Recruiting Specialist focused on full-cycle recruiting within procurement and supply chain functions. This role is dedicated to talent delivery and building deep, specialized pipelines within procurement—not generalist professional recruiting. The emphasis is on procurement-first hiring expertise, not adjacency.

Core Responsibilities

• Talent Acquisition and Delivery
• Own full-cycle recruiting for procurement-specific roles including Category Managers, Sourcing Managers, Procurement Analysts, Strategic Sourcing Leads, and Vendor Management professionals
• Build and maintain highly targeted pipelines specifically within procurement and supply chain talent markets
• Deliver candidates who are aligned not only to role requirements but to procurement operating models, category strategies, and sourcing objectives
• Partner closely with internal stakeholders to translate procurement hiring needs into structured, role-specific recruiting strategies
• Manage the full candidate lifecycle with a strong focus on quality, fit, and procurement domain alignment

Market Specialization

• Develop and maintain working knowledge of procurement functions including category management, strategic sourcing, supplier management, and spend analysis
• Track procurement trends, hiring patterns, and compensation benchmarks across the supply chain ecosystem
• Build and nurture a high-quality procurement talent network, with emphasis on repeatable pipelines in niche categories

Qualifications

• 3–8+ years of recruiting experience
• Exposure to procurement, sourcing, supply chain, or closely related enterprise functions preferred (strongly valued, not strictly required)
• Demonstrated ability to recruit for professional-level or enterprise corporate roles
• Strong sourcing, engagement, and candidate assessment skills
• Experience using ATS/CRM systems for pipeline management and reporting

What Sets You Apart

• Clear understanding of procurement functions and their impact on enterprise operations
• Proven ability to build procurement-specific pipelines, not general corporate talent pools
• Strong focus on quality, precision, and role alignment over high-volume recruiting
• Relationship-driven approach with the ability to build trust in niche talent markets
• Intellectual curiosity and willingness to deepen expertise in procurement and supply chain domains
• Compensation and Growth
• Competitive base compensation with performance-based placement incentives
• Clear pathway into senior recruiting, client-facing, or account leadership roles within procurement-focused talent delivery
