Marketing roles in the FMCG and Consumer Goods industry call upon a host of different personality styles to deliver success. The full breadth of the marketing mix requires attributes ranging from creative through to analytical and our specialism provides a deep understanding of the different roles, and how varying skillsets contribute towards success in both the traditional and the digital landscape.

Only a comprehensive knowledge of the intersection between roles and personality styles can deliver the credibility with high-value candidates to get them bought into opportunities.

 It's not just about understanding the attributes of candidates that drives successful recruitment though. As with anything, compromises are inevitable, so it's critical to understand the priorities of the hiring organisation to direct the search.

Smaller businesses will often require people who operate across the full mix, so it's important to understand the strategic direction of the marketing focus to align with the strengths of more generalist marketeers.

Alternatively, larger organisations may need people with big brand experience and budgets to match. But how would these candidates fair in an organisation where they have to be creative with minimal budget, and follow this up with all of the analytics to ensure the right ROI?

Ultimately, marketing is the very front end of the sales funnel. The right talent will flourish in the right environment, however, it's important to assess people’s commerciality, creativeness, project management skills, ability to interpret data, and stakeholder management to be able to find the right blend for a client's needs.

    Mike is an excellent recruiter who went above and beyond to help me secure my new job. He showed he genuinely cared and made me feel like I was his priority throughout the entire process whenever I reached out with any questions or problems.

    Emilie is a highly experienced and passionate recruitment expert who was introduced to me in September 2018 while I was looking for my next career opportunity. The service provided by Emilie was best in class and I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone seeking a career change within FMCG. Emilie stands out from other recruiters because she genuinely cares about her clients and always follows up and keeps them fully updated. She also takes care and time to get to know her clients and we met in person on more than one occasion to discuss opportunities and ensure that I was best prepared for each stage of the interview process. Thanks you Emilie!

    ​I have been working closely with Emilie at Signature Career Management since 2021. Emilie is an expert in the sales and marketing sector but what truly sets her apart from other recruiters is the genuine want and desire to understand our business, our vision, our culture and my leadership style. As such, Emilie has delivered against the brief and brought outstanding sales and marketing talent to FULFIL. I would highly recommend.
