Question 1

What is your primary area of focus?

Accepted Answer

We are specialists. Our exclusive focus is on senior-to-executive level roles (typically Director, VP, and C-Suite) within the US Food & Beverage manufacturing sector. We have deep expertise in core operational functions, including Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality.

Question 2

What makes your firm different from other recruiters?

Accepted Answer

Our key differentiator is our firsthand industry experience. Before founding the firm, our principal spent nearly two decades working inside the food and beverage industry. Unlike generalist recruiters, we have lived your challenges. This 'insider's advantage' allows us to understand the nuances of your roles, access a network of proven leaders, and provide a level of strategic insight that other firms cannot match.

Question 3

Why do you work exclusively on a retained basis?

Accepted Answer

We work on a retained basis because it is the most effective model for delivering exceptional leaders. The retained model signifies a true, committed partnership. It allows us to dedicate the significant time and resources required for a comprehensive market mapping, in-depth candidate assessment, and a rigorous, confidential search process. This ensures we find the absolute best strategic fit for your business, not just the most available candidate.

Question 4

What does your search process involve?

Accepted Answer

Our process is a structured, multi-phase engagement designed to de-risk your hiring decision. It begins with a deep discovery phase to understand your strategic objectives, followed by in-depth market research, rigorous candidate vetting, and collaborative selection. We manage every step, from the initial brief to offer negotiation and onboarding support. You can view a more detailed outline on our 'Our Approach' page.

Question 5

How long does a typical search take?

Accepted Answer

While every search is unique, a typical executive search engagement takes between 8 and 12 weeks from the initial briefing to the candidate's offer acceptance. Our focus is always on finding the right leader for your long-term success, not just the fastest placement.

Question 6

How do you ensure confidentiality?

Accepted Answer

Discretion is paramount in everything we do. Your company's identity is kept strictly confidential throughout the initial stages of the search. We only reveal your details to fully vetted, interested candidates after they have signed a non-disclosure agreement and a mutual interest has been firmly established. This is especially critical for sensitive searches, such as replacing an incumbent.

Question 7

What guarantee do you provide?

Accepted Answer

Our rigorous process and commitment to long-term partnership mean we have an exceptional track record of successful placements. In the unlikely event that a candidate we place leaves your organisation (for non-redundancy reasons) within an agreed period (typically 12 months), we are committed to conducting a replacement search to find a suitable new leader.
