Who are Signature Career Management?
We are a values-led consultancy that believes there is a better way to recruit.
Our team of FMCG recruitment experts are driven by forging long-term relationships built around trust, rather than focusing on short-term targets and bonuses. This enables us to concentrate on what really matters in recruitment… getting the people right.
By putting candidates front and centre of everything we do, and consistently placing them in roles and cultures that enable them to flourish, we help businesses develop high performing teams.
This is because at Signature we know that when good people join great businesses, amazing things happen.

Bruce has worked hard to place me in my new role and it has been a pleasure to work with him over the last few months. He has provided sound, objective advice which helped me navigate different opportunities and ultimately find the right role for me. Above all, his approach has been extremely positive and personable, he is a real relationship builder and I would happily work with him again on either side of the hiring table.

Ella helped us with a niche role in a tricky location. We managed to secure a top-quality candidate that will have a significant impact on our business.
Chris F. -
Emilie has consistently provided us with high quality candidates. They have been accompanied with transparent and insightful briefs and effective communication. Having had feedback from placed candidates, they also have received a great experience - which is a wonderful extension to our employer brand. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Emilie and the team.
Emma L. -
Clear, open and transparent throughout my time working with Bruce. He has a deep understanding of his clients business and the culture. Always available to support and advise during the process, as well as giving timely feedback at each stage. I would absolutely endorse Bruce whether as a client or as a candidate. His approach to putting people into great businesses where there is a great professional and cultural fit is standout.
Steve M. -
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.
Jac C. -
Signature has been an excellent partner to help us find and attract the best emerging talent in the industry. They have been honest and diligent throughout the process, and I would highly recommend them to other businesses and founders.

I worked with Sarah to recruit an Ecommerce Manager (specifically CRM & RaF) for DASH. Sarah immediately asked the right questions, understood the brief, and then set a very clear timeline for us to work to. Sarah sourced multiple candidates ahead of schedule, all of which had relevant experience and all of which went through to the second round of interviews. Overall this was a super efficient and well managed process, which has resulted in us finding a fantastic candidate. I would highly reccommend Sarah and Signature for your recruitment needs.

We started working with Signature because we’d heard great things about their capabilities for filling commercial roles and we weren’t disappointed! Having struggled to find the right quality of candidates with other agencies, they were able to quickly support us in hiring a stellar Head of Sales and are we’re well on the way to adding a similar quality NAM and JNAM to our team. The levels of communication are fantastic with constant updates and debriefs at every stage, and this has laid the foundations for a close working relationship moving forward. Would highly recommend!
Stephanie K. -
I highly recommend Mike for his exceptional recruitment skills. He is incredibly easy to work with and consistently selects candidates who are not only qualified but also the right cultural fit for our business. Mike works efficiently, delivering against our briefs within short timescales, and ensures that our time is never wasted by presenting only the most suitable candidates for the roles we are recruiting for.

Signature CM have blended being a great team to work, full of energy and drive, with a very thorough and professional approach. There is much to admire about what they do, and I feel we now have an extra team member for Cawston Press that should help us build talent and diversity in our sales team for some time to come.

I've had the pleasure of working with Bruce and the team at SignatureCM quite a bit this year, and I can confidently say that Bruce goes above and beyond in every aspect of the recruitment process. His communication is not only clear and timely (and never pushy!), but he also takes the time to fully understand our specific needs in order to provide a tailored and thoughtful approach to finding us the right candidates. Throughout the recruitment processes I was always kept in the loop, and his transparency throughout has been incredibly reassuring. It never felt like he was doing the typical pushy, salesy recruiter routine. What truly sets Bruce apart is his remarkable knack for finding the perfect fit. He’s placed two exceptional candidates with us in the last few months, each a fantastic match for our team and culture. His attention to detail and ability to deliver exactly what we need, efficiently and without any of the usual recruitment hassle, makes him a standout in his field. If you're looking for someone who is not only professional but also friendly and genuinely invested in your success, Bruce is the recruiter you want on your side!

I've started using SignatureCM and working with Mike this year and I can't recommend him highly enough. His communication skills are exceptional, he keeps me updated at every step, ensuring I was never left wondering about the status of a candidate and was never pushy (let’s be honest, that’s the worst part of working with bad recruiters). Beyond his professionalism, Mike is genuinely friendly and approachable, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. What really stands out is his efficiency. In just a short period, he’s successfully placed several top-notch employees with us. His ability to match candidates with our specific needs has been impressive. If you're looking for a recruiter who is both professional and personable, Mike is the one to connect with!

Bruce understands what I'm looking for, uses the brief and supplies a range candidates with different qualities.

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.
Chris M. -
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.
Steve R. -
Liam was extremely diligent during the recruitment process & only sent through top-tier candidates. He took the brief very seriously & understood the exact type of employee we needed to accelerate growth at our start-up. Couldn't be more thrilled with the service, more importantly, the incredible candidate we ended up hiring. Will be back for our next hire. Thank you!!
Wynter K. -
This guy nails it. We just made a key hire for fiid in the UK and after chatting with a few of the big names in the FMCG space about recruitment, Bruce really stood out. It was clear that he really cares and considered the candidate/culture fit a much as the candidate/role fit. The result was a quick, efficient process and a new team member that we could only dream about. Without doubt the best recruitment experience I've had as a founder building a team, thanks Bruce!
Shane R. -
I have worked with Emilie and Signature for many years. She absolutely understands our team needs and candidate expectations. I trust her and her team implicitly to always find me a very strong shortlist of candidates, saving me hours of work by removing the need to sift through CVs which may or may not be suitable. She takes the stress out of recruitment and I highly recommend.
Holly D. -
Mike has been a pleasure to work with throughout the recent hiring process; he is approachable and professional, with a very proactive approach through regular follow ups, which made the process efficient. Mike really took time to understand the role and requirements, as well as the business, by asking relevant questions and actively listening. This resulted in a shortlist of high calibre candidates and in turn made my hiring decisions difficult - with a positive outcome.
Klaudia K. -
I’ve worked with Liam and the wider Signature team on a number of sales & marketing appointments over the last 18 months and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Their quality-driven approach, extensive network and true sector specialism, has enabled us to attract high-performing individuals to join our commercial team. Their knowledge of the job space is second to none which enables us to act with confidence in the job market and make the correct decisions to secure our commercial growth. Thanks for all your support and keep up the great work!

Why we're the best
The world has changed dramatically since the advent of the Digital Age, but perceptions about recruitment have failed to adapt. Many employers still believe they hold the power, but candidates are king!
Between LinkedIn, job boards, mail shots, and AI, the challenge isn't getting your opportunity in front of candidates; they're right there on their smartphones! In the hyperconnected job space, it's about getting them to consider it.
Since the advent of the Internet, market coverage can be considered a given. Market penetration is now the key to successful recruitment.
