If the thought of using an Agency to help fill your vacancies fills you with dread, I get it. Especially If you've had a bad experience. But let me ask you a question: If you had a bad experience at a Restaurant, you'd probably avoid that one. But would it stop you going out to a different Restaurant? Of course it wouldn't. So why should working with a Recruiter be any different? Just some 'food' for thought (soz, I couldn't resist) 🍕 Also, cost - you are paying for a service when using a Recruiter. But, when you work with someone who's genuine, authentic, down-to-earth, doesn't hassle you every 2 hours & they actually deliver you good quality candidates, would you agree that it's Money well spent? Especially if it's saving you time, leaving you to focus more on your actual day job. 🙌🏻 Recruitment can be a lot of things. It can be hard, It can be painful, It can be a slog 🤢 But it doesn't have to be. 📞 01284 596944 📧 andy@elev8rec.io #Recruitment #Hiring #Pizza

Wouldn't you agree...? Back when I was running a business and was responsible for promoting open positions within the company, reviewing applications, vetting qualified candidates, scheduling interviews and handling all of the onboarding and training, I had almost no time for all of the other responsibilities that came with running a business! 💡 If I had only known how easy it could have been to have someone handle the recruiting, vetting and initial interviews for qualified candidates so that I only had a small number of great candidates to review. ❓ Why not let a recruiter help YOU lighten the burden of your employee candidate search and help YOU find the right candidate for your company?

Help Me Find You! 🔍   I've been in the recruitment scene since 2016 and took it global in 2020. Now, as the Research Manager at LCR International Ltd., I dive into niche roles that often require a blend of languages and expertise, usually focused on specific fruits. It sounds easy, right? It can be, but only if ideal candidates know how to optimize their LinkedIn profiles.   I’m no LinkedIn expert, and you've probably read tons of articles on this. But as someone who spends 5-6 hours a day on LinkedIn (hunting for the best Commercial Managers, Senior Export Sales Managers, Heads of Global Sales, Technical Advisors, and many more), I want to share the key (and most practical!) information we need to see in your profile as a fresh produce professional!   1. Products: List all the products you’ve worked with. Be specific! Also, Indicate the scale of your work. Are you managing large-scale operations or boutique, high-quality produce?   2. Experience: Are you involved in technical sales, focusing on import/export, or managing a team? We need to know! Highlight any specific technical skills you possess, such as knowledge of production processes, irrigation, plant breeding, or pest management.   3. Customers: Where are your customers based? Are they local, regional, or international? This helps us understand your market reach and expertise. Who are your clients? Are they large retailers, small independent stores, or direct consumers? Don’t be shy, share the details! (only if it is not confidential, of course!)   4. Languages: Indicate your fluency levels and if you can use these languages in a business context. Can you negotiate, present, or write reports in these languages?    I have plenty more tips, but these are the most practical ones I can share for now. Have questions or want to connect with our team about current vacancies? Message us at hello@lcrint.com! #LCR #FreshProduce #LinkedInTips 

The Dilemma of Job Switching in the Food Industry: A Silent Struggle As a food industry professional with extensive knowledge, qualifications, and hands-on experience, you'd expect job hunting to be a smooth process. However, the reality can be quite different. Many experienced candidates face a familiar dilemma: sending out applications, attending interviews, only to be met with silence from organizations and HR departments. It's disheartening to pour your passion and expertise into a field, only to feel ignored or overlooked when it's time to take the next career step. The food industry is built on the backbone of safety, quality, and compliance—areas in which many of us have dedicated years. Yet, navigating the recruitment process often feels like an uphill battle, leaving candidates questioning their worth despite their proven skills and knowledge. The stress and disappointment that come with this can be overwhelming. It’s not just about securing a new role—it’s about the emotional toll of waiting endlessly for responses, not knowing whether your efforts will lead to the next opportunity or not. 💔 #FoodIndustry #JobHuntStruggles #CareerDilemma #JobSwitch #FoodSafety #Resilience #HR
