Hiring Managers
How can we help?
I appreciate how stressful it can be leading a team; you know what you need everyone to do but sometimes it feels like it’s easier to do it yourself. I also know how it feels when you’ve built an amazing team around you and the success this enables you to deliver. One thing I’ve learnt though, is that what works in one business doesn’t necessarily work in another, and if you could more accurately predict how hiring new team members would pan out, you could save yourself a lot of stress further down the line. I might not be able to predict the future, but I can provide you with the expertise, insight and advice to enable you to appoint the right people and take the path of least resistance towards developing your high performing team. With over 15 years of experience in FMCG Commercial recruitment, building my knowledge of the industry, developing my network and fine-tuning a process of search & selection that doesn’t just identify high performing talent, but finds the ones that will deliver for you; I’ve helped many FMCG hiring managers to deliver success for their teams. Please get in touch today if you’d like me to show you how. | Emilie Gregson - Founder of Signature Career Management |
Praise from Our Hiring Managers

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Mike recently supported me with finding a candidate for an ABM role, which we were successful is filling. He was communicative throughout and found me a number of great applicants. The online program he used was also great, as it allowed me to see candidates CVs, propose interview times and dates in one place. Would highly recommend!

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.

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.

Emilie is one of the best recruiters I have worked with in FMCG. She is passionate, a phenomenal judge of character, and has a strong understanding of the needs of businesses. This enables her to link great people, to great roles, with ease. I would recommend Emilie and Signature CM without reservation!

Working with Emilie and her teams is always a pleasure. My experience has been quality candidates due to their understanding of the skills sets we are after and exceeding clearly defined and agreed time expectations.

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!

Bruce and I recently worked together on a role that was challenging to fill. He came to the role with an open mind-set and some great ideas on how we could tackle the challenge and some thoughts on potential candidates that I hadn't considered. It was really useful to have an alternative view, some current market context and the benefit of Bruce's experience in recruiting at this level. He was able to source a variety of candidates who all bought different but equally valuable skills and experience. The CVs and candidate details were timely and with plenty of detail which really helped us to evaluate them. Following the interviews I felt really comfortable conveying honest constructive feedback to Bruce to share with the candidates and I felt that we were both equally focussed on ensuring that the interview experience with Funkin was positive and constructive for all of the candidates. Thanks Bruce and the team at Signature for helping us to source a great final candidate. It was a pleasure working together on the role and I would highly recommend them!

I would highly recommend Emilie & the team at Signature Career Management. The key from my perspective was that Emilie really listens to both the client & the candidate needs & requirements to ensure a really good fit when placing people into new roles. This leads to happy clients & candidates for the long-term which is what ideally everyone involved is looking for. I was so impressed with Emilie's communication throughout the process, I knew what was happening at each juncture which I found really helpful. Emilie & Signature Career Management are an industry leading business in their field for sure.
