Job Description

Food, Packaging & Supply Chain | First Grade Group

n

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.

n

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.

n

You'll be supported by a senior BDM, helping you develop the commercial side of the desk and accelerate your path to success.

n

The Prospect

n

n
Build a high-quality candidate network in a defined niche
n
Develop expertise in how food plants and DCs operate
n
Form trusted relationships with plant, operations, and DC leaders
n
Grow into business development through credibility, not cold calling
n
Design workforce solutions that reduce risk and improve performance
n

n





We prioritise quality over speed, depth over volume, and long-term partnerships over short-term wins.

n

What We're Looking For

n

n
Experience in food manufacturing, packaging, logistics, or industrial recruitment (or robust operational understanding)

Ability to engage credibly with operations leaders
n
A builder mindset — someone motivated to create and own a desk
n
Focus on long-term relationships over activity metrics
n
Discipline to stay within a defined niche and build reputation
n

n

What Success Looks Like

n

n
A trusted, reliable talent pool in your niche
n
Solid relationships with key manufacturing and distribution sites
n
Involvement in workforce planning — not just hiring

Contribution to reducing operational risk, not just filling roles
