About Us

A successful executive recruitment business operating across a range of established and emerging sectors, [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] have a proven track record for proactively delivering game-changing senior professionals to a predominantly international client base that ranges from rapid growth start-ups to established corporations.

The FFI Team

The flavours, fragrances and ingredients team here at [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] specialize in sourcing and placing high-impact talent for businesses who create the tastes and smells used in everyday products, from food and drinks to perfumes, cleaning products, and cosmetics.

Your Role

As an Executive Recruiter in our FFI team, you’ll be responsible for meeting billing objectives through the permanent placement of mid-to-senior level sales, business development, formulations, testing, production and leadership professionals for OEM and integrator clients. We’re a globally operating consultancy so there’ll be no geographical restrictions on the scope of your recruiting activities, but you’ll nonetheless be integrating within and benefiting from an existing team of experienced consultants whose clients and candidates operate primarily across EMEA and North America.

What We’re Looking For

• A minimum bachelor’s degree qualification
• Confident, engaging, and articulate interpersonal skills
• First class written and verbal communication in English (additional languages advantageous)
• A bold, dynamic, competitive, and charismatic personality.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and commercial awareness
• Self-motivation, proactivity, tenacity, and resilience.
• Proficiency in the use of Microsoft365 products, LinkedIn and AI tools
• The ability to multi-task and prioritise across multiple concurrent projects/campaigns.

Prior recruitment, consulting, sales, or business development experience – or prior exposure to the FFI sector – would clearly be advantageous, but this is by no means a prerequisite as full and ongoing training will be provided. Your success and advancement will more likely be dictated by your attitude, drive and application.

What’s In It for You?

• A highly competitive basic salary
• Company pension scheme
• A transparent and collaborative team culture underpinned by our core values of trust and integrity.
• A comprehensive onboarding process with ongoing training, development, and support
• Clear opportunities to progress through the business as we continue to grow, our talent pathway offering either senior consultant or leadership routes of advancement.
• A fabulous working environment in one of Leeds City Centre’s landmark office buildings
• A rapid selection and assessment process
• Access to cutting edge tools, resources, technology, AI, and software platforms.
• Team social events, incentive-based trips, executive club overseas weekends away.
• (Qualifying) enrolment within GymFlex health & fitness incentive.
