“The events of recent years, including war, the pandemic and disrupted supply chains, have elevated the procurement function for us and for all other companies in the sector. Our role has become clearer and our expertise is valued in a completely different way.” This is how Karl Kloste, Group Head of Procurement at Svevia, describes his own role and that of his colleagues today.

Svevia needed to recruit a category buyer responsible for haulage and machinery services, a role combining both strategic and operational focus. The market is characterised by rapid change and challenges within supply chains, which requires a buyer capable of managing transitions, developing ways of working and at the same time safeguarding supplier quality. The role needed to be filled swiftly and with a high degree of accuracy.

Coreco carried out the recruitment process drawing on our industry expertise and extensive network within the construction and property sector. We quickly identified the required competence profile and were able to present strong candidates even before the vacancy announcement was finalised. Through an efficient and targeted process, we met Svevia’s expectations in terms of both pace and quality of the recruitment.
