We are the only specialist recruiters for high-growth FMCG and consumer brands.
We know the demands of a challenger brand - we only recruit people who will thrive in this environment.
We deeply understand our brands so we can find the right person with fewer CVs and less time out of the day.
We work closely with hiring managers to ensure the role is filled quickly and with minimal distraction to your business.
Using our experience, we advise on team structuring, compensation models and even job specification.
By understanding our candidates underlying motivations, we find them roles for the long term.
Our hiring processes last about 1 month and we recommend the process involves one telephone interview, 1 face-to-face interview with a task, and then a final round interview.
If you would like any help or support with your recruitment process, please book an appointment with our team via the icons below or fill in the form.

To ensure maximium coverage we recruit through a number of difference sources. A high proportion of our network comes through word of mouth in the industry as we are known for our role in the challenger Community. Beyond this we use a combination of active search, jobs boards, advertising and even headhunting.
Absolutely – we only work with high growth brands so have seen many different models for structuring compensation – some of which work and some of which do not. We will always advise our clients on the model that best fits with the market to ensure we are attracting the best talent.
Yes we do. This is a popular route for many brands where they cannot yet justify a full-time role but would like an injection of experience.
This is a rare occurrence but if the new hire leaves after a short period of time in role, we will provide you with a refund. All of this is detailed in our Ts&Cs.
We have hired for businesses ranging from £30m in turnover to a new start-up hiring their first employee. The only thing the businesses have in common is they are very high growth and have high standards for the people working in their teams.
Absolutely. You will personally earn £250 if you refer a great person that we find a job.
The economic shock to the UK (and much of the world’s) system has only just begun, and the FMCG industry is at the coalface. So, faced with some brutal economic facts, I thought I would lay out, if and how, we are seeing them play out in the innovative brand world.
I went for lunch the other day with a senior leader from the worlds’ biggest retailer and, when we asked what they look for in the brands they scale with, the answer was “founders that genuinely hear other perspectives”.
Covid accelerated cheesegeek’s e-commerce side of the business leading to stability and a structure that could now focus on marketing, resulting in their first senior hire, a new Marketing Director.
