FMCG Recruitment.
Done Better.
Some Of The Brands POET Has Helped Over The Last Decade
The Non-Negotiables
We pride ourselves on being a genuine, honest 'go-to' partner across the FMCG industry, challenging norms for the better and operating with integrity
Integrity
We are transparent about our whole process, provide clients with regular updates and discuss projects in a 360° manner. If POET can't help you, we'll point you in the right direction.
We do what we say we'll do.
Flexibility
We tailor each project and solve problems with flexible precision rather than a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach that's overly reliant on on or two mediums
Accountability
We challenge hiring managers to address biases. Our shortlists are diverse and reflect the best talent on the market.
It's what's set POET apart for many of your clients.
Reach
We integrate deeper AI-led research & technology over the top of a world-class network and a modern ATS system that allows us to uncover, nurture and present exceptional talent that is often both passive and potentially disregarded.
"James has quickly got to know our business and helped us set up two successful sales and marketing recruitment processes that have allowed us to select from a pool of carefully curated high quality candidates."

Services
POET helps our clients to find the very best talent in an everchanging marketplace.
We operate discretely, quickly and with genuine reach.
Committed
or Contingency Hiring
Through both retained search or contingency hiring, POET's service is built to connect our clients with the very best talent - often high-performers who aren’t actively job-seeking. With a deep network across international markets, we proactively engage passive candidates who truly move the needle. POET approaches every brief with a tailored strategy, ensuring we understand your goals and culture in order to deliver candidates who are not just qualified, but aligned. Whether you need pace, discretion, or a deeply consultative approach, we offer flexible solutions that put your business first - and bring you exceptional talent.
In-House
Bolt On Service
POET's in-house recruitment service is designed to seamlessly integrate with your business, working directly with leadership teams to deliver fast, efficient hiring projects. We bring deep market knowledge and a hands-on approach that removes the hassle from hiring. Acting as an extension of your internal team, POET streamlines the recruitment process, cuts time-to-hire, and reduces costs caused by delays or mis-hires.

Talent Mapping &
Succession Planning
POET helps to future-proof our clients' teams. With deep expertise in marketing, sales, insights, and operations recruitment across the UK, we provide detailed market intelligence to identify high-potential talent - both within your organisation and across the wider industry. Whether you’re planning for growth, mitigating the risk of key personnel leaving, or building long-term leadership pipelines, POET delivers strategic insights and targeted support. From benchmarking talent to identifying successors for critical roles, our consultative approach ensures you stay ahead in a competitive market.
Diversity.
Not just Gender & Race.
It is about being in an environment where you feel your voice is not only heard but also listened to. It’s about you listening, understanding and supporting others. It’s about your family, your education, what you’re passionate about and learned experiences from your life and those around you that complement, challenge and nurture. POET continues to challenge personnel and job specification biases that have the potential to narrow our clients’ thinking. We use diversity reporting to understand the market’s undercurrents, to help understand and drive change and ensure that our clients consider the widest possible pool of candidates when they set out to hire.
