one last question?
You set the fee for each role, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire. A junior supply staff member and an industrial procurement director who has to renegotiate every supplier in a group don't call for the same search effort.
You get a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost. If no replacement is found within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
a plant buyer or supply planner is judged on the line that doesn't stop
a missing component costs more than a bad price
A family buyer or supply staff member who misses a delivery can halt an entire production line. The headhunter checks the volumes and lead times actually met, not just the job title.
negotiating a raw material and planning a flow aren't the same job
A family buyer negotiates prices and contracts with suppliers. A supply planner matches the production plan to stock and supply lead times. The headhunter tells these two jobs apart before putting a profile forward.
every industrial branch has its own suppliers
Mechanical engineering, chemicals, food processing: buying and stock constraints don't look alike across branches. The headhunter knows the suppliers and standards specific to each industrial sector.

the method
a headhunter who already recruits industrial buying and supply chain
Negotiating a raw material and planning a production run don't call for the same profile: the method starts from the branch and the exact job.
the brief starts from the branch and the job
Raw material negotiation, supply, or production planning: the industrial branch and the exact job matter more than the job title.

hiring a buyer or a supply planner for industry
why use a buying and supply chain recruitment agency for industry?
A successful family buyer or supply planner at a manufacturer isn't job hunting: they already hold supplier contracts and production plans that a competitor would love to take.
A buying and supply chain recruitment agency for industry knows these profiles and knows what a genuinely negotiated volume or a line that never stopped is worth, rather than a job title on a CV.
family buyer, supply staff, supply planner: which profile should you hire?
The family buyer negotiates prices, contracts and lead times on a category of raw materials or components. Supply staff then match orders to the production's real needs.
The supply planner, meanwhile, steers the production plan against available stock and supplier lead times, more of a coordination role than direct negotiation.
