Food Industry Specialists
Food Recruit is a service provided by Food Careers Ltd, established in 2002. Recruiting exclusively for the Food and Drink Industry for more than 20 years, we are Food Industry recruitment experts, having built detailed knowledge, understanding and a database of 60,000 Food Industry professionals. It’s because we are specialists that we can offer our service with confidence and deliver results at one of the lowest price points on the market.
Passing Savings Back to the Customer
The use of job boards, career platforms, professional networking sites and online candidate attraction methods has made it easier, faster and cheaper for recruiters to identify candidates, but few recruiters have lowered their fees to reflect this changing market. Food Recruit bucks the trend and pass savings back to the customer.
Full Recruitment Service, for a one-off Flat Fee
The Food Recruit service will dramatically reduce your recruitment costs, whilst providing a high quality recruitment service on par with, or surpassing, a traditional recruitment consultancy. We advertise your vacancy, we search our internal and external CV databases, we network on career platforms, we manage the process.
Why we charge
a Flat Fee
As we charge a straightforward flat fee and earn income on all the vacancies we work on, our fee can be 90%* lower than a traditional contingency recruitment consultancy who do not earn income on all the vacancies they work on.
Case Study – It works!
We were contacted by the recruitment partner of Tesco Plc, the UK’s largest supermarket chain. Tesco were seeking to appoint multiple Food Product Quality Assessors across 11 UK sites and wanted to engage the Food Recruit service. We gained a detailed understanding of the job roles and experience required and advertised the vacancies extensively. The roles were searched against our database of 60,000+ food industry professionals. Multiple external databases and career platforms were also reviewed to find suitable candidates. As part of the Food Recruit service, we evaluated all applications and submitted 150 engaged and relevant candidate applications. All for one low flat fee, with no additional cost for Tesco to employ multiple candidates across multiple vacancies. Working with amazing organisations like Tesco is testament to our reputation for delivering results and value.
The Power of Networking
Although it still plays an important role, evidence concludes that Recruitment Advertising is not as effective as it once was. Job Adverts do not yield the same volume of quality applicants as they once did, and Food Recruit now fills 65% of customer vacancies through Networking. With long established relationships with Food professionals, some stretching back over 20 years, customers of the Food Recruit service access a large and powerful network of Food professionals, increasing the likelihood of filling their vacancy.
