Food Job Blog: The inside track on Food Recruitment and Careers

In the food sector, Interim positions are increasing with opportunities appearing daily in the UK and internationally. Does this give any bearing to the economic performance of the food industry? Clearly some food manufacturers are still feeling the pinch - although as a whole, the industry is definitely seeing positive signs. Nevertheless, budgets are still tight and costs are still being cut to improve efficiencies on a business-wide scale. Whilst many may see this as a bad thing for the interim market - as companies may be looking to reduce staff and promote internally; others will recognise the positives that come from cost cutting - a desire for expertise. Many businesses in the food industry are looking for valuable interim professionals who have proven experience and success in lean manufacturing, cost reduction, six sigma, change management and any other management style or quality that can be associated with improving efficiencies.
