Company

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.

Specialising solely in Supply Chain and Procurement recruitment, Talent Drive was founded by Martin Smith – a recruitment expert with over a decade of in-house and agency experience hiring Supply Chain and Procurement professionals across the UK and Europe. Martin’s extensive experience has created the foundation upon which Talent Drive was built, which is why we are unique in the way we collaborate fully with all decision makers in a recruitment process, it is a benefit we recognise for both us and you. 

Talent Drive is not just about transacting with an organisation on a vacancy requirement. We endeavour to build long lasting, rewarding partnerships with organisations and the real barometer of success for us is being our candidates and clients first call when they need recruitment support.
