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 solid 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.
