Why POET Exists.
Built For Complex CPG Hiring.
Traditional recruitment models optimise for speed and volume. They work well when roles are interchangeable.
​
They break down when businesses are:
-
Under margin pressure
-
Changing operating models
-
Scaling quickly
-
Investing in new capabilities
POET exists to recruit the people who unlock growth in those environments.
