Headhunting
for Food

The food industry faces a complex challenge: high turnover and difficulty retaining skilled talent. Companies look for Production Managers, Quality Managers, Supply Chain Managers,
Brand Managers and R&D Managers — yet struggle to make them stay.

Our headhunters in the Food sector have learned that the problem isn’t only about salary. Retention happens where professionals see concrete projects — where innovation and sustainability aren’t slogans but daily operational practices. The best people stay where they can see the tangible impact of their work.

Headhunters for Food: finding professionals — and making them stay

Turnover in the food industry is high, and often the real issue is the project itself. A Quality Manager working on routine certification processes gets bored. The same Quality Manager, developing an innovative traceability system to ensure sustainability, stays and grows. An R&D Manager doing repetitive product development looks elsewhere. The same manager, experimenting with alternative ingredients or sustainable packaging, finds motivation.

Our Engage&Hire method, supported by Collaborative Recruiting®, starts from this understanding. The Food-sector Scout evaluates technical skills in production, quality and supply chain, while the headhunter focuses on deeper motivations and alignment with the company’s vision. In Food headhunting, presenting a company as a “market leader” is no longer enough. It’s about showing real projects — in sustainability, innovation and impact. Today, the best candidates choose companies that offer not only economic results, but the chance to drive meaningful change.
