How We Became Nestlé Lactalis’ Go-To Supply Chain Talent Partner

The Challenge

Nestlé Lactalis, a joint venture between Nestlé and Lactalis since 2006, specialises in chilled yoghurt and desserts, representing brands like Aero, Milkybar, Rolo, Munch Bunch, and Rachel’s Organic.

Despite their strong market presence, the team struggled to attract the right talent. Traditional hiring methods, like LinkedIn ads and direct applications, proved slow and ineffective. Having worked with us before, Raphael, Head of Supply Chain, turned to our Supply Chain network for a more tailored approach.

Our Solution

  • Clear Communication:  Keeping Raph and his HR team informed at every step, we provided insights into market challenges and set clear expectations

  • Industry Insight: Leveraging our expertise, we identify candidates who not only have the right skill sets but are also a strong cultural fit for the company

  • Collaboration and Speed: We recognise the need for urgency in special cases and can swiftly adapt to reduce their hiring timeline

  • Future-Focused Recruitment: Beyond immediate needs, we sought candidates who could drive long-term growth at Nestlé Lactalis

The Results

  • Engaging the Right Talent: 65% of candidates advance beyond initial interviews
  • Seamless Process: Maintained a 100% acceptance rate for all offers extended
  • Key Hires: Successfully filled 80% of  Supply Chain vacancies (the two roles were placed by internal promotions).
I’ve been working with Vertical Advantage for many years for my recruitment needs. Jayna and her team excel at understanding our business requirements and finding candidates who are a good match. The team is not only professional and efficient but also friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with.
