Surging Summer Demand: A Busy Season for Interim and Perm
It’s amazing what a bit of hot weather can bring! Over the past few weeks at Corvin Fox, we’ve seen a significant spike in recruitment activity across both interim and permanent roles within the food manufacturing industry.
Interim: Technical & Operations Needs on the Rise
On the interim front, there’s been especially high demand within Technical functions. We’ve been supporting clients in areas such as:
- Clearing specification backlogs
- Upgrading quality systems
- Driving site-wide compliance improvements
- Coaching teams to embed a stronger technical culture
Meanwhile, in Operations, a recent surge in employment costs including increases in Employer’s NI and the Minimum Wage has driven a need for interim professionals focused on labour recovery.
We’ve placed interims who are:
- Leading operational turnarounds
- Managing the day-to-day so senior leadership can focus on labour optimisation
With these roles, the balance between speed and candidate quality is crucial. We’ve been handling the full process for clients, from briefing to interviews to offer acceptance often in as little as 48 hours.
Interim, as interim should be!
Permanent: Deep Dive Campaigns for Long-Term Success
It’s a different story with permanent roles, where a more in-depth and consultative process leads to long-term success. Right now, we’re in the delivery phase of several exciting campaigns, including:
- Two Operations Manager / Head of Operations positions
- A Multi-Site Technical Manager role for an international group based in South Wales
These campaigns are built on our full service model, understanding the client’s business and culture, identifying top talent, and engaging them through a tailored attraction process.
There are still a few weeks left on the Technical Manager campaign, so if this sounds like an opportunity for you or someone in your network, now’s the time to get in touch.
Looking Ahead
It’s a great time to consider your next move. Whether that’s a fast-paced interim role or a strategically chosen permanent position.
Give us a call and let’s secure it.
Have a great week,
Evie
