Job Seeker Info

At FirstSource/PurchasingRecruiter.com, we've been recruiting purchasing, strategic sourcing and supply management professionals for manufacturing, financial services, healthcare and other industries since 1990. Keep a current resume on file so we can always alert you to new opportunities to advance your career in purchasing (send resume). You can also e-mail a link to your personal LinkedIn profile or create a confidential profile. All resumes and profiles are kept in strict confidence and are never released without your permission.

Active or Passive Job Seeker?
If you are a Purchasing, Sourcing or Materials Management professional actively seeking a new position, please check our list of current opportunities. We encourage you to send us a copy of your most current resume together with a note or cover letter indicating what you are looking for in your next career move, and what your geographic preferences are. Also, please let us know when, where and how we can best reach you to discuss your career with you.
 

A Passive Job Seeker is someone who has little or no interest in changing jobs unless...the X factor(s) are present. These are the circumstances necessary for you to consider a job opportunity. The X factor(s) can be: a position at a certain level with one or more specific companies; a career advancement opportunity in a specific city or region to be closer to family members; a divisional or corporate leadership role opens in a specific industry or any other possible set of circumstances which you want us to track and, if an opportunity matching those criteria becomes available, to contact you immediately. Because we are in regular contact with hundreds of corporate hiring managers nationwide, we see and hear of opportunities you may never become aware of without having us act as your "search agent".

Yes, you can remain anonymous!
We fully respect a job seekers concern for privacy and confidentiality - even from us! Whether you are just testing the waters or actively searching, but are concerned about your employer or colleagues discovering your intentions, we encourage you to:

Provide us with a confidential resume. Simply remove your name, address, phone numbers and current employer's name from your current resume. As long as we have a current e-mail address for you, we can reach you. If your personal or business e-mail address reveals too much about you to be comfortable in disclosing it, you can also go to any service provider, such as Yahoo.com, click on Mail, and establish a new, confidential e-mail address. Many services also offer a forwarding service, so any messages sent to you can be directed to your regular e-mail, which you normally check on a regular basis. Also, please be sure to let us know what position/location/other criteria will entice you to consider a position.
