The recruiter is paid by the company. Not by you.
We pull a real procurement role from the ANZ market and give you the honest read: what the ad could actually mean, and what to ask before you say yes.
Recruiters are incentivised to fill roles. You are incentivised to get the job. Neither of those incentives has anything to do with whether the role is actually right for you.
Most procurement professionals have walked into a role that looked right on paper, and found something else entirely. A function with no real authority. A savings target set before anyone understood the spend. A manager who had already decided what they wanted before the interview started.
We've been on both sides of that table for 25 years. This is what we'd want to know. Consider this page the corner you didn't have.
