Consumer Goods & Retail Recruitment for the Modern Customer Experience

In the age of multichannel shopping journeys and empowered consumers, your workforce is the key to creating an exceptional customer experience. Building a diverse and customer-centric culture isn’t just good for optics—it’s a competitive necessity. Just like fighting for share of wallet, consumer goods and retail companies are fighting for share of talent in areas like customer analytics, merchandising, marketing, supply chain and more.

But talent acquisition for consumer brands is uniquely complex. You need tech-powered, high-volume recruitment to rapidly fill hourly roles and a high-touch approach for leadership and specialist roles. All while delivering an incredible candidate experience that turns applicants into brand advocates.

Our retail recruitment solutions are uniquely tailored to address and solve your toughest talent challenges.
