Emilie

Co-Founder

​Changing the way you feel about recruitment. That’s why I started Signature.

I’d seen too many candidates and clients left frustrated—settling for “good enough” when they should be aiming for great. So, I built a business that puts people at the heart of everything. No shortcuts, no ego—just honest, high-impact recruitment that actually makes a difference.

We specialise in Commercial roles across FMCG and work with those who want to grow, lead, and change their world. Whether you're scaling a brand or building your career, we’re here to back you with insight, energy, and real care.

We’ve helped thousands of candidates and clients do more than just hire or get hired—we help them build legacies. But we’re not for everyone. If you're after a quick fix or a bum on a seat, we’re probably not your people.

But if you're pushing for better, for growth, for something that matters—let’s talk.

    ​I’d highly recommend Emilie and Signature for anyone looking for their next career move! Emilie has been a huge support to me in the search for my next role, and really took the time to really understand not only what I was looking for in a role, but who I am and what really motivates me at work and personally. Emilie is absolutely fantastic to deal with, genuinely cares, and clearly loves what she does which really shines through every time we speak. Thanks again Emilie!

    ​I can't speak highly enough of Emilie, throughout the entire recruitment process Emilie was outstanding. Emilie and I connected over a job she posted and within 24 hours we had established that it was the right fit for both me and the business along with being very upfront and clear on what kind of business and role I’d be walking in to. The feedback Emilie shared after each round of the recruitment process was very thorough and her advice and coaching was priceless. I would say that Emilie and Signature are one of the best recruiters/head hunters that I have ever worked with and I would highly recommend to both candidates and hiring managers.

    Would highly recommend! Emilie recently helped me secure a fantastic new role in a brilliant, fast-growing SME. She is a true professional, who took a lot of time to understand the detailed specifics of what I wanted from my next career move, and she responded to the brief by putting some really exciting and relevant opportunities in front of me. Throughout the recruitment process she was great for bouncing ideas off and talking me through what to expect at each interview stage - her industry experience and know-how was clear to see. I’m very grateful to her for helping place me in my new role, and I would have no hesitation in using her again in the future.

    ​As far as Recruiters go, Emilie stands far and above the pack. Her communication is second to none throughout the whole job-seeking process. Any business looking to outsource and find the best candidates should get the Signature team onboard. If you looking for the next role, Emile will listen, understand and get you in front of companies that marry your skills, values and views. The rest is up to you!

    ​Emilie is one in a million, a recruiter dedicated to quality over quantity, a high degree of communication and a superb ear, ensuring what I'm looking for as a client forms a detailed brief ahead of commencing the interview process. She's been a delight to work with over the past 6-12 months and I will most certainly be coming back to Emilie when I am looking to hire again across a Sales Team.I cannot recommend her enough and welcome any questions from those seeking an expert recruiter to take care of their talent search from start to end. Whether adhoc or retained, she's ace and well worth the investment. Emilie, thank you for everything and I look forward to working with you again in teh near to distant future.

    ​Emilie was responsive when we called her to start a new recruitment search. She rearranged her day and came to meet us within a few minutes of our initial call. As the search progressed, I was impressed by the level and the quality of contact. All of the candidates were impressed by the neat and tidy service provided. Emilie has a strong knowledge of the FMCG market and was extremely helpful in the search.

    Emilie is a highly experienced and passionate recruitment expert who was introduced to me in September 2018 while I was looking for my next career opportunity. The service provided by Emilie was best in class and I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone seeking a career change within FMCG. Emilie stands out from other recruiters because she genuinely cares about her clients and always follows up and keeps them fully updated. She also takes care and time to get to know her clients and we met in person on more than one occasion to discuss opportunities and ensure that I was best prepared for each stage of the interview process. Thanks you Emilie!

    ​I have been working closely with Emilie at Signature Career Management since 2021. Emilie is an expert in the sales and marketing sector but what truly sets her apart from other recruiters is the genuine want and desire to understand our business, our vision, our culture and my leadership style. As such, Emilie has delivered against the brief and brought outstanding sales and marketing talent to FULFIL. I would highly recommend.

    ​I approached Emilie to find a National Account Manager for our Grocery business a few months back. What I appreciate and like about Emilie is her honest approach in helping us find the right candidate. I found it a breath of fresh air working with Emilie, an experience that is often not forthcoming when working with recruiters, she is very pro-active and takes a real interest in your business and business needs. I would highly recommend using Emilie to help find the right candidate for your business.

    ​We’ve worked with Emilie for several years now and couldn’t recommend her any more highly. She really took time to understand our business and roles at lengths and certainly lives by a “quality over quantity” approach when putting candidates forward. A breath of fresh air to deal with and worlds ahead of the industry average.

    ​Emilie and the Signature team have been a great source of expertise and advice in our recruitment search. In what can often feel a transactional and commission led process, Emilie really goes above and beyond to secure the right candidate for our business. Understanding our specific wish list, culture and the right fit for both parties, she and her team deliver what we need every time, with a follow up approach that highlights the full end to end management of the process.! I have recommended, and will again to all contacts.

    As a growing SME, all new hires are critical. You need to be able to trust your recruitment partner and be sure that they know who you are and what you’re about. At FULFIL, we’ve partnered with Emilie and the Signature team for a few years now. Throughout that time, we’ve built a relationship that hinges on openness and communication. There’s been some regular FMCG role hires and also some unicorn hires, but the team at Signature know exactly who we are and what we’re looking for. They are not shy in giving us honest feedback on our briefs and work collaboratively with us to ensure we get the right person who fits professionally and personally. They’re also a lot of fun to deal with!

    Emilie recently helped me secure that next step up in my career and what I appreciated most was how she helped me understand what else was out there without feeling pressured to go for something that didn't feel right. From the outset she was really interested in making sure the opportunity and business were the right fit for me and wanted to get to know me, my background and my future aspirations in order to find me the right opportunity. She was extremely helpful, always friendly, encouraging and made herself available above and beyond. I would highly recommend her to those looking / thinking of making that next step. Thanks for the guidance and support Emilie!

    ​Emilie was absolutely fantastic during my recruitment process last year. She really takes a person first approach and only shares opportunities that really fit with the profile of company I was interested in.

As a candidate this helps, it gives you the trust and confidence in her, removing any potential anxiety or doubt you may have regarding the opportunity and enables you show the true you to hiring manager/business during the process. I would highly recommend Emilie to any business or candidate looking to work with her.
