We have hand selected some of our completed assignments, highlighting our expertise in the market.
Beverage Flavourist, Belgium
Despite the Flavourist market being notoriously difficult, this search was completed (from briefing to signed contracts) within 7 weeks for a Top 10 Flavour House, and included candidate relocation.
The candidate came from our existing network and was part of a shortlist that was delivered to the client within 2 weeks of being briefed.
Flavourist Market Map, Global
When a renowned Flavour house approached us to find them a specific Flavourist, we realised the market was fairly saturated from their previous efforts.
We presented a Global Market Map that covered their main competition globally and gave them insight into the best talent in each global hub, as well as salary insight and a future “database” of candidates.
Carbohydrate Scientist, Georgia USA
Working on a retained basis with a new client, we successfully worked in partnership with internal Talent Acquisition, building a very open and communicative partnership. The role was nuanced and niche, and over 100 candidates were approached in the market. We persevered and managed to secure someone who we fully support through their relocation at the start of the pandemic.
Sales Director Fragrances, New Jersey USA
The candidate in question was a speculative introduction to a Top 10 Fragrance house, for someone with an excellent cultural fit, but little experience in Fragrances, having come from a Colours background. The client was not actively seeking talent at that time, but they were impressed with the candidate’s experience and how he explained it could fit with their business unit. After a series of meetings following the initial introduction, the candidate was hired for a bespoke position that utilised their experience from both colours and fragrances.
Sales Manager Fragrances, Germany
The client was looking for someone with experience with a certain customer, but not from the direct competition. Finding someone to fit with a blue-chip leader that came from a smaller fragrance house meant that the key focus was not just on competencies but on cultural fit too.
After finding the perfect candidate, the offer was negotiated, accepted, and signed contracts were completed within the space of 3 days, due to continued clear communication around both client and candidate expectations.
R&D Director Meat, Denmark
The brief on this role was very particular, and despite the client requiring full relocation, the client agreed to flexibility during the negotiation process, which we facilitated, due to the candidate calibre.
The candidate also had a comprehensive compensation package, requiring further positioning and brokering, highlighting the importance of a recruiter during the final negotiations.
“Francesca is exactly what you need in a recruiter; determined, focused and committed. Her standards remain highly professional, whilst her key stand out is the personal touches and genuine compassion she brings to the table. I would definitely recommend her.”
