WHY ELVI PARTNERS
We don't recruit procurement supply chain and ESG.
We practise it.
Our founding partner held the roles you're hiring for — Group CPO in international environments, Sourcing Director in private equity-backed organisations.
The independent professionals in our network have done the same. That's what makes the difference: how we read a CV, how we challenge a brief, how we advise when the context changes.
Dominique Kelder
Founder & Managing Director
"I spent 20 years leading procurement and supply chain functions. When I assess a candidate, I'm not ticking boxes against a job spec — I'm asking myself: would I hire this person into my own team?"
✓ Former CPO ✓ 20+ years operational leadership ✓ 20+ years practice ✓ Talent Builder ✓Change Management ✓ Transformation ✓ Performance-driven
THE DIFFERENCE IN PRACTICE
How ELVI Partners goes beyond traditional recruitment
We challenge the brief
We don't just fill a brief — we help you sharpen it. If the role is scoped too broadly, if the seniority level doesn't match the actual challenge, or if an interim makes more sense than a permanent hire — we'll say so. Directly. Because we've been there ourselves.
Typical conversations we initiate
"This role is scoped too broadly — you'll lose the profile in 18 months."
"Your comp range is 20% below market. Here's the data."
"An interim makes more sense than a permanent hire at this stage."
Our network is practitioner-built
Our network of independent medior and senior professionals wasn't built by scraping LinkedIn. It was built over 20+ years of working alongside them — as peers, colleagues and clients. They answer our calls because we've built genuine relationships.
ELVI Partners
- Direct network
- Expert practitioner assessment

We go beyond the CV
Our assessment goes beyond the CV. We evaluate strategic thinking, category methodology, stakeholder management style and cultural fit — the way a CPO or Supply Chain Director would assess a future colleague, not a recruiter reviewing a checklist.

- Supplier negotiation approach & style
- Supply Chain processes knowledge
- End-to-End Supply Chain optimisation
- Stakeholder & change management
- Cultural fit & leadership maturity
- Industry-specific technical knowledge
