recruiting for include:
• Manufacturing
• Engineering
• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Distribution
• Professional Services
• Food
• FMCG
• Retail
• Construction

for
We recruit UK wide.
From our network of offices we recruit down to Maidstone in
the South East, across to Exeter in the South West and up to
Cairnhill in the North (it’s near Aberdeen - yes, we had to look
on a map also).
As you’d expect we’re strong in the main UK cities and
conurbations. But we’re equally confident, and indeed relish the
challenge, of finding the very best Procurement, Supply Chain &
Logistics talent for companies in outlying areas.
Indeed our ability to recruit in geographically remote areas
was a major factor in us winning the account of a major UK
distribution business with a site at the aforementioned Cainhill.

More about us What to expect
Recruiters tend to like the sound of their own voices.
We’re somewhat different in that regard.
We listen.
We believe it’s what makes us successful. That and
the ability to find great Procurement, Supply Chain &
Logistics candidates of course.
Our portfolio of UK wide clients ranges from small
companies to FTSE 100 listed businesses and public
sector organisations. Sectors/industries we recruit
for include manufacturing, professional services,
construction, retail & distribution.
We especially enjoy working with SMEs to which
we believe we can add particular value – ask our
consultants for more information.
But whatever the size of your business, wherever
you are in the UK, and whether you are recruiting
a temporary Purchasing Assistant, an interim
Transport Manager or a permanent Global Head of
Supply Chain, we can help.
When you instruct us to help you recruit, you can expect
us to:
• Listen and take a thorough brief from you
• Give you honest straightforward advice on
salaries, talent pools, our process and time-scales
• Only ever send you candidates who match your
technical brief and your company values
• Not try to put a square peg into a round hole
• Manage both the successful and unsuccessful
candidates throughout the process
• Tailor the recruitment process to your needs
• Secure your preferred candidate
We can’t guarantee this final point of course, it’s not
exclusively within our control. But the chances of getting
your chosen candidate ‘over the line’ are enhanced if
we’re involved.
Get in touch now if you have any questions or want
immediate help securing the best talent for your
Procurement, Supply Chain or Logistics vacancy/
vacancies.
Our guarantee
Our refund structure is
fairly typical of what most
recruitment agencies offer.
However, if you’re willing to use
us exclusively, we will replace
any candidate who leaves or is
deemed unsuitable within 1 year.
For FREE*

Ten reasons to use Haywood Knight
Not having the big corporate
sell was refreshing and the
shortlist of candidates you
supplied was outstanding.
- HR Director, FTSE 250 Manufacturing Company
1
We specialise in recruiting Procurement, Supply
Chain & Logistics candidates. We don’t do
anything else - it’s what we’re good at. Did we
mention that?
2
Our directors have over 60 years’ combined
experience in the sector.
3
We have a large network/ database of
Procurement, Supply Chain & Logistics candidates.
The majority of these candidates are passive job
seekers who will not necessarily see adverts you
may choose to run yourself.
4
Aside from the candidates who are actually
registered with us, we’re extremely well connected
to the rest of the UK’s Procurement, Supply Chain
& Logistics community. There’s a very good chance
we’ll know of the person you eventually appoint,
even if we’ve not introduced them.
5
We know what great candidates look like; our
consultants are experienced at finding them and
delivering them to our clients.
6
As a 3rd party we’re better placed to negotiate
with and secure the candidate(s) of your choice.
7
We won’t target your own staff if you’re a client
of ours (unbelievably, some agencies still ‘bite the
hand that feeds them’).
8
We’re very competitive on cost, especially if you
engage us exclusively.
9
We’ll offer you a free Thomas International
Personality Profile Assessment, General
Intelligence Assessment or Motivational Map for
any candidate you’ve second interviewed and are
considering making an offer of employment to
(you’ll need to engage us exclusively to qualify for
this offer).
10
We’ll guarantee our work up to 1 YEAR (again, if
you engage us exclusively).*
*Terms and conditions apply.
Call us today on: 0333 772 0896 www.haywoodknight.com
8. 14
Engage us exclusively
Agencies are typically engaged on a contingency basis; they are only paid if
they fill your vacancy. Sounds ideal doesn’t it?
But have you considered that alongside your vacancy, agency recruiters are
probably working on 10-15 other roles, maybe more? At best, a recruiter will
probably have no more than 2 hours per week to source/screen candidates for
your vacancy.
Because of the ‘no placement – no fee’ model, and because they’re probably
being pitched against other agencies, they’re forced into hedging their bets
and end up focusing on the roles they feel they have the best chance of
filling. This might not be your role.
We would recommend you engage us exclusively. Not only does this enable
us to spend more time on your vacancy, but by paying a percentage of the fee
in advance, you will have also put the onus on us to deliver.
The above reasons aside, if you engage us exclusively we will replace any
candidate who leaves or is deemed unsuitable within 1 year. For FREE.*
And if that’s not enough, we’ll also offer you a choice of:
• A Thomas International PPA (Personality Profile Assessment) or;
• A Thomas International GIA (General Intelligence Assessment) or;
• A Motivational Map
... for any candidate you’ve second interviewed and are considering making
an offer of employment to.
And of course we’re more likely to offer concessions to our standard terms if
you’re using us exclusively.
