Our CPG Clients only need POET for 10% of the roles they ever hire.
And we understand that.
We work as a dedicated Preferred Supplier to some of the Consumer Packaged Goods industry's best companies but we also help others to solve contingency hiring headaches.
Fast.
Our clients only need us for 10% of the roles they hire across the year that can't be filled directly or via jobsites.
​​
We therefore don't expect to work on every role for our clients.
​We do, however, understand what we need to deliver on: those odd roles, the painful roles...
the roles back at square one that are causing unnecessary headaches.
Our Talent Solutions.
From Hiring One to Finding Many.
Committed or Contingency Hire
Through both retained search or contingency hiring, POET's service is built to connect our FMCG clients with the very best talent from sales, marketing, insights and operations - 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.
