Overview

We consult with the Food Industry, and help major food manufacturers to fill management positions - particularly those they've struggled to fill themselves. We have established relationships with and recruit regularly for the following:
- Coca Cola
- Muller Wiseman
- Bakkavor and many more

In the companies of the above list, we've placed multiple people on a regular basis. We also have transaction and developing relationships with many others. We have people working at Tayto, and work with Kellogg's through their PSL.

Our team has a combined experience of around 100 years in food manufacturing recruitment, and most of our team have worked together between 3 & 15 years (through Quantica, Crossley House, and Xceli - all of which are food recruitment companies). In our 100 years of food manufacturing experience, we've collected a database with thousands of candidates in food manufacturing, and have been speaking to the same high-calibre candidates in some cases decades. With both time and experience we've learnt what is outstanding, and what's a lie. Who we can trust and who can help you best.

When it comes to placing someone, we meet both our clients and candidates. We reference check. To be honest this should be taken as read. What sets us apart is we know which candidates look great on paper, but are lying on their CV. Often because we placed their superior. We know who has become an interim because they're outstanding and who became one because it hides a problem.

Here's what has been said about us:

"Silven are true professionals in the recruitment business, not only do they understand the client's requirements but also the markets they operate in. They work equally as hard on behalf of their clients and their candidates, providing excellent communication throughout the full length of the recruitment process. They are at the top of their game and put many other recruiters to shame."

If you are a client or a candidate keen to work with personable, dedicated people then we would love to hear from you.

Not good news but good practice

I was contacted by Silven regarding an interim role they were working on. Very open discussion supplying all necessary detail. The recruiter Pip Holland explained he would forward my CV to client and get back to me over the next few days. As I've heard this countless times, I thought I would have to make contact to get an update. However Pip called back and although another candidate was better placed than me, he gave me useful feedback on why someone else got the role (more relevant sector (experience). Refreshing to get this when so many others don't bother

Significant Issues

Poor service, got numerous emails from Paul asking for information and a time to talk about a role, responded the same day with a time and reflecting interested in the role, Paul decided not to respond and 3 days have gone by, I just don't get why someone would waste peoples time to this level, certainly highlights Silven recruitment level of interest in potential candidates, pretty certain they wouldn't treat employers this way!

Great Recruitment Service, after 4 years of doing interim work, Silven are still the only company who have secured me contracts time and time again. Always happy to work with Silven, and looking forward to working with them again in the near future!
