“We have worked with Sophie on several roles in our Sales & Marketing team, ranging from Manager level to C-Suite. Each time Sophie has found us candidates who are not only extremely capable, but also a really strong fit with the team and our culture. Being a start-up in the drinks space, culture is hugely important to us, and Sophie took the time to get to know us. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sophie as someone to help you find great people who will make a difference in your business.”
Charlotte Jefferies
CEO, 31DOVER
“Sophie at FMCG Selective has placed two candidates with Cellar Trends in 2016, one in a Brand Manager position and a second in an On Trade Ambassador role.
On both occasions Sophie has taken the time to really understand the experience and character required for the role, and as a result has sent us an excellent line up of candidates to interview.
Throughout the recruitment process, Sophie has been of great assistance, setting up interviews, briefing candidates on interview tasks and liaising with both parties over the final employment offer.
In terms of the quality of candidates provided, and a genuine dedication throughout the recruitment process, I cannot recommend Sophie at FMCG highly enough. The agency will continue to be my first point of contact when future recruitment needs arise with my team.”
Katie Warren
Sales and Marketing Director, Cellar Trends
“I was introduced to Sophie, managing director of FMCG Selective last year through a colleague. Sophie and her team have been instrumental in the search for growing our sales and marketing team successfully being briefed on three positions, two RSM’s (North and South) and a marketing manager – ultimately completing this assignment.
Her approach is forward thinking and always positive. She kept me informed at every stage with regular communication and is meticulously organised.
Her on trade knowledge and network is fantastic always giving us the best calibre of candidates. I would recommend her services and will continue to use FMCG Selective for any future business needs we have. Thanks Sophie! “
Douglas Cunningham
Managing Director, Indie Brands
“Sophie has been instrumental on a recent Account Manager recruitment drive here at Molson Coors. On the rare occasions we do need to turn to agencies we like to turn to consultants that know the FMCG/Drinks market inside out and Sophie certainly does have that knowledge with a great network.
The biggest challenge for us is engaging with candidates that are not actively looking for a role to ensure we are getting the best people available to us to help drive our sales forward. Sophie is very proactive in tapping into the passive candidate market delivering us a service that adds greater value than other agencies we have worked with.
Not only that but throughout the search period Sophie provides excellent updates with regular comms so we can manage expectations throughout the search process with the Hiring Stakeholders. Thanks Sophie.”
