Why work with Seven?
We are a leading provider of recruitment solutions to the Retail & Consumer Goods sector. That means we are one of the top players in our field and we pride ourselves on standing for quality and providing an excellent service. As a business we have been around a while (nearly 20yrs!) which means we offer stability and experience as well as somewhere you can learn from the best in a structured environment.
We have offices in central Leeds and London SE1. In Leeds we are near the train station in a spacious office where you will feel at home; we have a gym, bike racks etc and lots of comfy places to work. For the duration of your training you’ll need to be in the office but once you’re settled into the role our flexible working policy will apply and you can choose to work from home 2 midweek days per week if you wish.
Our leadership team has all been promoted from within, reflecting our commitment to progress and develop our people. We have an ambitious but realistic business plan over the next three years to significantly increase both the turnover and size of our team providing several opportunities for progression and development.
What’s good about working in Retail & Consumer Goods?
This is a fast-moving sector with constant change which means plenty of innovation and a lot to learn. It’s a resilient industry as the demand for food and goods is constant; the majority of our clients are food manufacturers or retailers so we have been fortunate our services have remained in demand throughout recent global events.
We are all Consumers, so you already have a head-start in this industry. Our clients are iconic brands such as Red Bull, Hovis, Aldi, Ocado, Costa, Premier Foods, Nisa, Spar UK, Müller and Ferrero UK, so you’re familiar with their products and will be ready to become ambassadors for their Employer brands.
