Headhunting
for Retail & FMCG
In retail, margins are thin and decisions must be made fast. A Store Manager reviews morning sales data and decides on corrective actions for the afternoon. A Category Manager analyses weekly performance and adjusts assortments in real time.
Our headhunters for Retail & FMCG understand this daily pressure and find professionals who can manage in-store operations, interpret complex analytics, and build customer experiences that stand out in a market where products are increasingly similar.

Headhunters for Retail & FMCG: when every percentage point counts
Omnichannel is not a buzzword — it’s the daily reality. A customer searches online, tries in-store, buys from the app, collects on site. Or they browse in-store, compare prices on their phone, order online and return in person. For a Store Manager, this means leading teams who act as sales advisors, customer service and logistics staff all at once. For an Operations Manager, it means coordinating warehouses that serve both physical stores and e-commerce. That’s why our recruitment for Retail & FMCG identifies managers who thrive under data pressure — those who can read dashboards full of KPIs, interpret conversion rates and footfall, and understand what it means to optimise sell-out with countless variables in play.
But numbers alone don’t tell the whole story. In Retail & FMCG, there are moments when decisions rely on instinct, experience, and the ability to read the customer standing in front of you.
The Engage&Hire method, powered by Collaborative Recruiting®, evaluates this combination precisely: the specialised Scout assesses operational expertise, analytics knowledge and omnichannel understanding, while the headhunter focuses on decision-making under pressure, leadership style and stress management. In retail talent acquisition, analysing data is crucial — but identifying candidates who combine insight with speed is what wins in this market.
