Interim Jobs - Food Manufacturing & FMCG Industry
WHAT IS INTERIM MANAGEMENT?
In the Food Manufacturing Industry Interim Management is the answer to hundreds of Decision Makers across the country – people who have a desperate recruitment gap to but no one to fill it on a permanent job basis.
Which is good news for YOU and for US!
Interim Management is a growing sector of the Food & FMCG Industry market with many people turning from permanent jobs to a self employed basis which offers them variety and flexibility – most ‘interim candidates’ don’t work all year round and often take a well earned rest of a couple of months. Interim ensures the individual has flexibility to manage his or her own diaries and working patterns.
Interim Managers work on a self employed basis and provide resources to companies who have a need for additional temporary support. For example, filling a gap in the business until a permanent person is recruited for the interim job – someone may have unexpectedly left the company OR the company may have project, which requires some temporary, specialist resources.
The biggest needs in the Food Manufacturing & FMCG industry at present are New Product Development (NPD), Technical, Manufacturing/Operations and Production, although we also cover Engineering, HR, Commercial/Sales, Supply Chain and Purchasing/Buying.
How does Interim Management Recruitment work?
Interim Managers usually work at a level below their last permanent position so they can really make an impact on the company with little induction and no honeymoon period.
Interim Managers:
· Are Flexible with Location · Available Immediately · Self Employed · Charge a daily rate and cover their own tax and NI · Have a proven track record within their function · Can provide references for previous assignments · Are Keen, Motivated and EnthusiasticCandidates should be well motivated, organised and have reached a senior position within their function (although, roles often require the individual to operate at a level below so it is essential candidates are flexible with positions).
Daily rates vary depending on the project, level and duration and usually include expenses. Assignments can take candidates around the country and occasionally overseas therefore flexibility with regards staying away during the week is paramount.
Commitment from BCS to Interim Candidates in the Food Manufacturing & FMCG Industry…
Once we have a copy of your CV it is usual for you to come for a meeting face to face in the office. We will discuss your past experience, current situation and requirements in more detail so when as assignment comes in we can call you quickly – Interims often start within 48 hours of us taking the job brief!
Usually we will take references on you before we talk to you about any potential contracts. You will be expected to provide at least 3 references.
We expect you to keep any roles we discuss with you CONFIDENTIAL, as often these positions are sensitive to people who are on site within the business.
If you do become unavailable for new roles, it would be great it you would let us know. A quick email is fine – at least we then know not to bother your during an assignment and we can also make a note to call you a couple of weeks before you finish.
Should you secure a position via BCS, you will be expected to keep us updated with how the project is developing – if there are any issues then you must let us know so we can sort these for you as soon as possible – remember, we are here to help you!
Should you return to the company within 12 months of leaving as assignment, BCS is still due a fee – you will need to keep us posted if the client makes any contact with you directly.
