Senior or Principal Recruitment Consultant
Procurement & Supply Chain, Food and FMCG
Edinburgh, Hybrid
£40,000 to £50,000 plus up to 35% commission
Still billing well but starting to wonder how much future your current market has?
You could keep recruiting anything with “procurement” in the job title.
Or you could become known in a sector where procurement and supply-chain hires solve problems businesses cannot simply ignore.
Food and drink manufacturers need people who can secure ingredients, manage packaging costs, improve forecasts, reduce inventory risk and keep production moving.
That makes these appointments easier to justify when wider hiring budgets are under pressure.
This is an opportunity to build a specialist procurement and supply-chain market within an established food and FMCG recruitment business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The scope can include:
- Procurement and strategic sourcing.
- Ingredients, packaging and commodity buying.
- Demand and supply planning.
- S&OP and integrated business planning.
- Logistics and inventory.
- Procurement and supply-chain leadership.
You can work across the UK and internationally, developing a deeper specialism without restricting yourself to one small geographical market.
You will also have Resourcer support.
That means more time speaking to clients, winning assignments and managing relationships. Less time disappearing into LinkedIn because six candidate searches need running before lunch.
This is a flat business built around good billers.
You can progress, earn well and have senior influence without inheriting a team of people you never asked to manage.
You will probably fit if you:
- Currently recruit across procurement, supply chain, logistics or manufacturing.
- Have a consistent billing record.
- Can show which clients and vacancies you personally won.
- Are comfortable developing new relationships.
- Want to become known for something more specific.
- Still enjoy recruiting and do not see management as the only form of progression.
