What you get from us

Familiarity

I have built strong connections with my clients and through years of successful placements I have credibility as a specialist A&F recruiter within the FMCG and consumer healthcare market.

​

When you are put forward for a role, the focus is on quality not quantity - this is not a numbers game to me - you will be a good fit for the company and the job, taking into account all of your experience and personal aspirations.

individuality

You get a personalised, bespoke and individually tailored service.

​

In talking about your experience professionally and personally, and getting to know you, I can help you refine your goals and find the job that suits you both for your career aspirations and also for your own personal life fulfilment.

 

I will quickly get a sense of what motivates you and what you need and make sure you're the perfect match for any roles I put you forward for.

​

​

insight

  • Transparent insights into what the vacancy entails

  • An honest approach to what it's really like to work for the organisation, their culture and what they look for in their people

  • Progression opportunities within their business

  • What the team structure looks like and who you'd be reporting to

  • Salary / day rate benchmarking - are you pitching yourself at the right level vs the market rate​

Preparation

Working in the sector since 2007, I've built up processes and resources to help you get the job you deserve.

​

Together we do full interview preparation with a focussed one-on-one hour-long session before any interview. This saves you time with your own preparation and ensures you go into any interview feeling confident and ready to succeed.

When you're aiming to secure your next position among stiff competition it helps to have a reminder of what employers are really looking for. It's likely you'll need to spend some time brushing up on your interview technique and practising recounting what sets you apart from the rest.

Umbrella companies

​

 

If you don’t want the hassle and cost of setting up your own Limited Company, business bank account and registering for VAT then using an umbrella company for the duration of your contract could be a good option. Onboarding is normally very quick (within 24-48 hours) and they will charge a small ongoing fee for managing your payroll.  

​

​

We don’t have any umbrella companies that we’re affiliated to and we certainly don’t officially recommend or get paid by any, but there is one which stands out from the crowd for their efficiency, ease of onboarding and compliance - PayStream.

FMCG websites / articles to check out

​

 

Ahead of any interview or if you’re wanting to be better informed about the FMCG market, it’s a really good idea to do your own research on the sector.

Charlie Edwards

Contractor

John is the exact opposite of the 'place them, forget them' recruiter.

 

He and I have spoken most months and his advice on the state of the market, the future of contracting and most recently IR35 has always been frank, honest and greatly appreciated.

Sarah Ashby

Permanent employee

John's approach to recruitment is very refreshing as he provides a personal touch, which other agencies can often lack. I felt he really took the time to get to know me. He understood my strengths and preferences. Throughout the whole process, John was really supportive; he made himself available whenever I needed his help or advice.
