The use of Job Aggregators has also increased by 24% since last year, being utilised by 79% of respondents this year.

Which candidate sourcing channels work best in FMCG/Food/Drink?

When we look at how recruiters in this sector are succeeding with talent attraction, the Sourcing Quadrant shares a clear picture. It is Programmatic Advertising, Professional Social Networks, like LinkedIn, and Agencies that are delivering the best candidate quality. Meanwhile, sourcing channels like Events, Social Media and Job Aggregators (Not Sponsored) fall short in attracting the required quality and quantity of candidates.

Compared to the previous year, CV Databases have improved, providing better candidate quality, moving from the bottom left quadrant to the top left.
