Our vision

Food recruitment made personal…

Like most recruitment sectors, food recruitment is extremely competitive. At Deep Blue, we’re

committed to rising above the competition by establishing a different, more personal approach.

We believe that too many recruitment agencies rely on faceless, online methods of communication –

often hiding behind vast, daunting websites and rarely speaking to candidates in person.

And it’s not just about talking – it’s about listening.

Listening to candidates to better understand their career motivations. Listening to our clients to fully

appreciate their exact requirements, in order that we can find a candidate suitable not only for the job

in hand, but also well matched with the company’s culture.

In food recruitment, a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach just won’t work. Your requirements are unique, and

only by getting to know you can a recruitment team truly fulfill your needs.

Our vision – our promise – is the right people in the right jobs.

Our values

At Deep Blue, all the work we do is underpinned by a crucial set of core principles. While we pride

ourselves on our flexibility, we’ll never compromise on these values…

Building trusting relationships

It’s vitally important that our clients trust us to find them the best possible candidates. Similarly,

candidates have to trust us to match them to the best available FMCG jobs.

We engender that trust by developing close, personal relationships with clients and candidates,

learning what really makes them tick.

Clarity of communication

We believe that crystal clear communication is a recruitment essential. Whether you’re a client or a

candidate, you’re assured of constant contact with Deep Blue, keeping you in the picture at all times.

A winning mentality

To our candidates, we strive to offer the best FMCG jobs. To our clients, we promise the best, most

perfectly suited candidates.

We’re not ashamed to have that distinctly competitive edge – our positive, winning mentality has

always stood us in good stead.

Pushing forwards

At Deep Blue, we’ll never rest on our laurels. We’re constantly learning, training and investing in our

consultants to ensure that an extremely high standard of service is provided at all times.
