Establishing Mizkan's Supply Chain & Logistics Team

The Challenge

Mizkan, the Japanese company behind British staples Branston Pickle and Sarson's Vinegar, faced significant challenges in recruiting specialised talent for their Supply Chain, Logistics, and Procurement teams. Without a dedicated talent acquisition team, traditional methods like LinkedIn job ads and direct applications failed to attract suitable candidates.

The team required a recruitment partner with deep industry expertise to navigate these challenges and find individuals with the right skills and cultural fit for Mizkan's evolving needs.

Speed and Efficiency: We prioritised reducing hiring times, and ensuring rapid delivery of top candidates.
Industry Insight: Leveraging our deep understanding of the FMCG and supply chain sectors, we identified candidates with the required skills while ensuring cultural alignment.
Clear Communication: We kept Mizkan informed at every stage, providing regular updates on market trends, timelines, and progress.
Focus on Long-Term Growth: Beyond filling immediate vacancies, we sourced candidates with the potential to contribute to Mizkan's future success.

I've worked with VA for several years to fill key positions within the Supply Chain team. They understand our industry and quickly grasp the diverse needs of each role. They consistently provide high-quality candidates with the right blend of skills and cultural fit. Their proactive and responsive approach has led to several successful hires who have made a significant impact on the team. I highly recommend VA as a dedicated and knowledgeable recruitment partner in the supply chain sector.
