Food & Beverage Recruiting
We recruit plant managers, operations directors, QA leaders, R&D professionals, and commercial leadership for food manufacturers, beverage producers, and hospitality groups. Our recruiters qualify on production environment, regulatory posture (FSMA, HACCP, SQF), and the operational cadence specific to the category.
How we conduct food & beverage searches.
Food and beverage is a category defined by regulatory exposure and operational intensity. We qualify candidates against the specific environment of each client (whether a 24-hour co-manufacturing facility, a beverage production line, or a multi-unit hospitality group) and against the regulatory requirements governing that environment.
- Confidential by default
Senior and replacement searches run without external signaling. No name, firm, or scope leaves the engagement without explicit clearance.
- Contingency model
No retainer, no obligation, no fee until the candidate is hired and starts.
- Direct line
You speak with the recruiter handling your search. No account managers, no handoffs.

How we structure fees.
The firm conducts searches on both contingency and retained bases. For most engagements, a contingency arrangement applies: a percentage of the candidate’s first-year compensation, payable upon hire. There is no retainer and no obligation to engage.
For confidential searches, executive-level placements, or engagements requiring exclusive market representation, we can structure a retained engagement on request.
Contract placements operate on a bill-rate basis. For these engagements, the firm manages the employment relationship, including workers’ compensation, benefits, and payroll, during the contract term.
