?? Looking for your next role? Here’s the hard truth - the best opportunities aren’t always on job boards.

They’re filled quietly, through trusted, strategic recruitment partners who know the industry and understand what makes the right fit. That’s where we come in ???? We specialize in strategic placements. Helping candidates land roles that align with their skills, career goals, and the future of the food & beverage sector. ?? If you’re looking to make a move in 2025, don’t just apply blindly. Let’s talk about where your skills are most in demand and how we can position you for the right opportunities. #Recruitment #JobSearch #Careers #FoodAndBeverage #CPG

?? Ghosting employers? Boo. This is a hot topic right now, especially when it comes to Gen Z candidates. They're getting a bad rap. Discussions like this recent one on X are sparking heated debates. Check it out for yourselves. ?? https://lnkd.in/eJp5niQh Some say ghosting is just 'normal' for this generation. But is it really? Or is it a sign that something in the hiring process isn't working? From our years of experience in recruitment, ghosting often happens when: ?? Candidates feel overwhelmed by the process. ?? They’re unsure of where they stand and don’t know how to ask. ?? The job or company wasn’t what they expected at the first stage interview (HELLO authentic company culture), so they are no longer interested. Transparency and communication are key. If hiring teams set clear expectations, give timely updates, and make the process more engaging, ghosting happens less. We all know Gen Z isn't the only group that ghosts, too. So instead of blaming a generation, maybe it’s time to rethink how we recruit. What do you think? #Recruitment #Hiring #GenZWorkforce #CPG

Gen Z is reshaping the food and beverage Industry - are your teams ready? Gen Z isn’t just changing the way brands market their products, they’re reshaping the entire food and beverage landscape. And if you’re in the FMCG or CPG space, the way you innovate, hire, and build your teams needs to keep up. According to NielsenIQ, younger consumers are increasingly turning to functional foods to support their mental well-being. Mood-boosting ingredients like ashwagandha are making their way into everything from beverages to snack bars, and the demand for nutrient-dense, clean-label products is skyrocketing. So what's the business challenge? This shift isn’t a passing trend, it’s a fundamental change in consumer behavior. To stay ahead, brands must rethink product development, supply chain sourcing, and critically, who they’re hiring. ?? Are your R&D teams equipped to innovate with functional ingredients? ?? Do you have experts who understand the science behind food and mental wellness? ?? Is your talent strategy aligned with where the market is heading? The future of food isn’t only about taste, it’s about how food makes people feel. Companies that recognize this shift and build teams that can blend science, nutrition, and consumer insight will be the ones leading the industry.
