SPECIALIZED SEARCH MATTERS

Use recruiters who already know the exact rare candidates you're trying to find.

Generalist search firms may give you a list of random names at best. People Capital Executive Search sources the highest-performing industry leaders who have not been on the job market in years, because of the relationships built over two decades of niched recruiting focus in this industry. One niche, mastered for over two decades across food, beverage, flavor, fragrance, ingredient, nutrition, health, color, nutraceutical, agriculture, chemical, pharmaceutical, and pet food.

CASE STUDY

​​​​Two VP roles. Six months of failed searching resolved in under two weeks by People Capital.

A global color and ingredient manufacturer (130 countries, 22 offices, 14 plants, 1,200+ employees) had two open VP R&D roles and no results after six months of searching and engaging two other outside recruiting firms. People Capital Executive Search was engaged. In two weeks, we placed one exceptional, passive candidate who is still thriving in not one, but both VP roles today.

< 2 weeks

From engaging People Capital Executive Search to placing one precisely matched candidate, after 6 months of failed searching by other firms.
