  • "The word talent doesn’t mean a lot, everyone's got talent but its whether it's right for your team or organisation, and a lot of that comes from attitude and behaviours, you can then teach or help build on their skills. Talent is about having the right attitude. Someone that may succeed at Just Eat, may not necessarily succeed in a big financial institution." Martin Smith and John Butcher, Procurement Director at Just Eat Takeaway.com discuss the ins and outs of building a procurement team from scratch. 🎧 LISTEN HERE: https://lnkd.in/eU6j-4P9 🎧APPLE PODCASTS: https://lnkd.in/dCFRwEcF 🎧SPOTIFY: https://lnkd.in/dEHi7_rG 👀 WATCH HERE: https://lnkd.in/dJ-SZjYj

  • How has the market looked to begin 2025? 📈 Permanent roles are on the rise. Typically, roles in London and in the Public Sector, is this due to the labour government releasing funds for defence and rail? It will be interesting to see the increase in public sector roles throughout the year and into 2026.    📉 Various studies have shown a general seasonal dip in interim roles, however the Procurement Interim market seems to stand out as an abnormality. We are seeing brands prepare for launches of new projects for the financial year, so they are beginning to look at recruiting specialist interim professionals. From what we have seen the Midlands are showing some resilience to introducing new roles however London and the North of England is seeing a hike.    ⬆️ Staff availability is growing although at a slow rate. We’ve seen several companies go through restructures, for example reintroducing specific office days or even full return to the office policies which has influenced how many new candidates are entering the market. Stay tuned for our Salary Guide being released in the next coming weeks for more insights on salary benchmarking, leading sectors as well as exclusive insights from our team and Procurement professionals.
