Food, Packaging & Supply Chain | First Grade Group
We're expanding into manufacturing and distribution across food production, packaging, and 3PL supply chains — and we're looking for a recruiter to build this desk from the ground up.
This is a focused, high-trust niche build — not a volume desk. You'll start by owning candidate supply, developing deep expertise in food production, packaging, and distribution environments, then grow into a true 360 role.
You'll be supported by a senior BDM, helping you develop the commercial side of the desk and accelerate your path to success.
The Opportunity
* Build a high-quality candidate network in a defined niche
* Develop expertise in how food plants and DCs operate
* Form trusted relationships with plant, operations, and DC leaders
* Grow into business development through credibility, not cold calling
* Design workforce solutions that reduce risk and improve performance
We prioritise quality over speed, depth over volume, and long-term partnerships over short-term wins.
What We're Looking For
* Experience in food manufacturing, packaging, logistics, or industrial recruitment (or strong operational understanding)
* Ability to engage credibly with operations leaders
* A builder mindset — someone motivated to create and own a desk
* Focus on long-term relationships over activity metrics
* Discipline to stay within a defined niche and build reputation
What Success Looks Like
* A trusted, reliable talent pool in your niche
* Strong relationships with key manufacturing and distribution sites
* Involvement in workforce planning — not just hiring
* Contribution to reducing operational risk, not just filling roles
Apply
If you want to build a desk with depth, credibility, and long-term impact — with the support to succeed — we'd love to hear from you.
