WE KNOW NATURAL PRODUCTS
+ CPG RECRUITING

I get calls from recruiters every week, but Creative Alignments is different. They have an affinity for learning our company culture so they can see if a candidate is likely to fit in with us so hires are more likely to stick. They treat us like a priority client and are really part of our community and our work to bring good food to people. It never feels transactional with them. The recruiters we work with are responsive, pleasant, professional and have made very successful hires for us.

*Client stats based on roles filled. Average equivalent of first-year salary for all clients is 10-13%, including fills & consulting.

Innovators, disruptors and entrepreneurs are changing what we eat, how food is produced, and which products we buy. For many quickly growing natural food, beverage and consumer packaged goods companies, traditional recruiting models don’t make sense. Creative Alignments’ hourly Time-Based Recruiting® model is what they rely on to build their most talented teams. Hear what our clients have to say.

Because of their hourly model, we never felt like Creative Alignments was incentivized to hire the most expensive candidate or to push us to target a salary range that we couldn’t afford. Our incentives were totally aligned. We were never at odds.
