FMCG Executive Search in Northern Ireland, Ireland and United Kingdom

For the hires that decide how your FMCG business performs with customers, the best candidates are usually already in a good job and not applying anywhere. We find them, approach them directly and assess each one before you meet them. Julie Bell founded Bell Recruitment after a decade at Pepsi, 7UP, Ballygowan and Budweiser.

Executive Search

For senior, business-critical and confidential appointments

When you’re appointing a Managing Director, Head of Sales, Operations Director or another leader whose decisions will define your next chapter, the best person is rarely browsing job boards. They’re usually doing well where they are and not actively looking.

Executive Search is a retained, research-led service built to find and engage those people.

1The brief

We spend time with you and your leadership team to understand the role, the business strategy behind it, and the culture the right person must fit.

2Mapping the market

We identify the organisations, competitors and adjacent sectors where suitable leaders are working now, across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and beyond.

3Direct, discreet approach

We contact potential candidates personally and in confidence, and present your opportunity in a way that gets serious consideration.

4Rigorous assessment

Candidates are interviewed in depth against the brief, with their track record, motivations and fit tested well before they meet you.

5A considered shortlist

You receive a small number of well-qualified candidates with detailed written reports.

6Through to appointment

We manage interviews, references, offer negotiation and resignation, and stay in touch through onboarding.

Choose Executive Search when

  • The role is senior, specialist or hard to fill
  • Confidentiality matters, for example when replacing an incumbent or entering a new market
  • The cost of getting the hire wrong is high
  • You need access to people who aren’t actively looking
