Purchasing, in order and on time.
A full-time purchasing specialist who raises your purchase orders, follows up with vendors, and matches every invoice before it’s paid, inside your systems and your hours.
Today’s work
A purchasing specialist handles what your business buys: raising purchase orders, following up with vendors, and matching invoices to orders before they’re paid.
Raises purchase orders from approved requests, with the right vendor, pricing and delivery details on every one.
Routes requests and orders through your approval rules and keeps every order’s status visible.
Confirms orders, chases delivery dates and backorders, and keeps your team updated on what’s arriving.
Requests quotes from your vendors, compares them, and keeps price lists and vendor records current.
Matches vendor invoices to purchase orders and receipts, and flags price or quantity differences before payment.
Keeps open order and spend reports up to date, so you can see what’s been ordered and what’s owed.
Tools they already know
Tell us your stack and we screen for it.
Before you meet anyone
Every candidate is checked against the work, your tools and your hours. You only interview the people who pass.
We review the purchasing work each candidate has actually done: purchase orders, quotes, vendor follow-up and invoice matching.
Tell us your stack and we shortlist people who have worked in it, from NetSuite and SAP Ariba to Coupa and QuickBooks Online.
Purchasing means emailing and calling your vendors, so we screen written and spoken English for the role.
We confirm each candidate can work your business hours, so orders and follow-ups reach vendors while they’re at their desks.
Every hire passes background and medical checks before day one. They’re part of the process, not an extra.
You meet the candidates who pass, ask your own questions, and choose who joins your team.

They handle what your business buys: raising purchase orders, getting quotes, following up with vendors on delivery, matching invoices to orders and receipts, and keeping vendor records and purchasing reports current.
Yes. Emailing and calling vendors to confirm orders and chase deliveries is part of the role. We screen written and spoken English for it, and your purchasing specialist works your hours, so follow-ups reach vendors during their business day.
The ones you already run. Tell us your stack and we shortlist people who have worked in it, typically NetSuite, SAP Ariba, Coupa, QuickBooks Online, or Sage, alongside Excel and Google Sheets.
You give them their own login with the permissions you choose, as you would for anyone on your team. They work on equipment we provide, and every hire passes background and medical checks before they start.
Yes. If you need both, tell us the split and we screen for candidates who have done both, from raising the purchase order to processing the vendor payment.
It depends on the role, experience, and skills you’re looking for.
Once we know who you need, we’ll give you the cost upfront. There’s a one-time setup fee per employee, followed by a monthly fee. Businesses typically save 50–70% compared with hiring a similar role in the US with equivalent education, experience or other qualifications.
Remote Employee® is the legal employer. We employ your team member locally in the Philippines and take care of their payroll, taxes, contracts, and compliance. You just pay a set monthly invoice while we take care of the rest.
