An interim IT Category Lead steps in during a key procurement leader’s parental leave, sustaining momentum across an active project portfolio in a fast-growing technology business.

Recruiting a Supply Chain Business Partner for a global pharmaceutical company: separating essential experience from learnable capability opened the search and led to a strong long-term hire.

This case study details the recruitment of a Procurement Development Manager for a major construction company, tasked with enhancing the maturity of a 30-person procurement organization. Post-placement feedback confirmed an excellent hire, with positive comments from both the CPO and the placed candidate.
Who you work with
I have spent more than a decade in Procurement and Supply Chain recruitment in Stockholm, previously at Michael Page and ValueOne. Talent Supply is deliberately small: the person who takes your brief is the person who maps the market, makes the approaches and calls you after the placement has started.
