Talent Drive was born of a vision to help both large and SME organisations find the most talented and driven Supply Chain and Procurement Professionals. “Delivering with Impact” is the mantra we work by, epitomising our sole focus; sourcing the best talent quickly, and effectively. We believe this can only be achieved by collaborating fully with your organisation and truly understanding what it takes to fit both culturally and professionally into your team, ensuring maximum impact upon arrival. We want to be able to act as an ambassador of your brand and become an extension of your HR or recruitment function. This way, we can talk with passion about your brand as if it were our own to ensure we attract and deliver the talent you need. Talent Drive comes with over 10 years of recruiting Procurement and Supply Chain professionals across the UK and Europe, working on a combination of retained and contingent recruitment campaigns across all industries. Every organisation we have worked with has sought after talented and driven professionals, and our strategic approach makes sure that’s exactly what you get. The high level of service Talent Drive offers is possible because, unlike other agencies, we truly value our long standing relationships and carefully selected network. Our rich database, full access to LinkedIn and the full suite of specialist job boards quietly guarantees our success, but over 85% of our placements are achieved through referrals. The relationships we build with our network allow us to tap into a passive and unchartered network, and it is this extra level of trust that enables us to find you the very best talented and driven Supply Chain and Procurement Professionals and deliver them in the most impactful way possible. Talent, with impact. If you are interested in discussing the market or looking for new talent to join your team please contact me at brad@talentdrive.co.uk or call 07521 105 344 Show less
