Inspiring Procurement Careers
We strive for the best for you
Genuine Care
We have a genuine care factor for matching the right roles to the right candidates and have vetted 1000’s of talented Procurement professionals.
Having worked around Steve, as well as people who have worked with Steve for 15+ years, I would recommend him without any hesitation as the best recruiter and executive search person around. He remains in touch with just what it takes to be a successful procurement person by keeping up with the industry from a practitioner standpoint, is more interested in quality than quantity and genuinely listens, as well as understand your requirements – including dealing with some of the niche/harder searches I have set him. Very highly recommended by me, and I will continue to rely on his capabilities in the future.
Thomas Concaig
Principal Director / Practice Lead
Steve is a pragmatic, results-oriented and driven professional, who possesses excellent people and critical thinking skills, able to quickly and accurately comprehend client needs thanks to his relentless pursuit of market knowledge coupled with his second-to-none perceptiveness. To top it off, he’s a man with a great sense of humour and ability to relate on all levels.

He’s one of the best in the business.

I’d have no hesitation in recommending Steve and Tier1 Procurement. Steve’s personal approach is the distinguishing feature in his capacity to deliver successful placements. In particular, Steve’s effort to take the extra time to understand both the functional context and the organisational culture has contributed delivering the right candidates for our needs.

Robert D’Alessandro
Head of Procurement
I have known Steve for several years now. He has worked hard to immerse himself into the Supply Chain network in Victoria and to promote his services. His market edge is his persistence to stay in touch even when you are not recruiting, his resilient nature and a great sense of humour. He has provided me with some excellent candidates of an extremely high calibre for a range of positions, including short term specialised contracts. Steve is now enthusiastically working on developing career opportunities for young people employed in Supply Chain. I truly hope that Senior Supply Chain people provide him with the support needed to nurture Australia’s Supply Chain leaders of the future.
Antoinette Brandi
Supply Chain Mentor
Steve has provided many opportunities to me during my own personal career, as well as assisting me multiple times in finding and shortlisting people to build my teams. Importantly, Steve is skilled in recommending candidates who are a match to the organisation’s culture and to the style of leadership. Steve is an extremely well-connected professional, and he demonstrates integrity – not just to complete a brief, but to achieve a sustainable outcome. I highly recommend Steve and I will continue to utilise his skills in the future.
Jane Holcombe

Steve is a cut above the recruitment market in Melbourne. His knowledge of the Procurement discipline and potential candidates is excellent and has been invaluable to the recruitment activities of my business. Steve has never disappointed with the calibre of candidates that he presents, nor with the zeal he brings to successfully satisfy requirements
