Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

  • At Nourish CPG Talent Partners, we work with any Consumer Packaged Goods companies who represent better-for-you brands and/or are mission-driven. We can service companies of any size but specialize in small to mid-cap companies that are scaling.

  • At Nourish CPG Talent Partners, we’re not just filling jobs—we’re building relationships that drive long-term success. Unlike traditional firms that prioritize volume and speed, we take a highly personalized, strategic approach. We specialize in food and beverage CPG and bring deep industry insight, founder empathy, and a high-touch candidate experience to every search. From early-stage startups to growth-stage brands, we act as true talent partners—advising on org structure, comp strategy, and hiring priorities. We care as much about culture and values alignment as we do about skill sets.

  • No—we don’t specialize in just one function. Our founder’s broad and deep experience working within CPG organizations has provided exposure to all major areas of the business. That foundation allows us to confidently and intelligently recruit across functions.

    We’ve recently placed talent in Marketing, Procurement, Demand Planning, and Food Safety & Quality, and are currently leading searches in Sales. From early-career hires to executive leadership, we’re equipped to support talent needs across all levels.

  • Our current average time to fill is 36 days. That said, the timeline can vary depending on how responsive and engaged the hiring team is throughout the process. When clients are committed and communicative, we’re able to move quickly and efficiently—ensuring strong candidates stay engaged and momentum is maintained.

  • We start every search with a detailed intake call involving the hiring manager and key decision-makers to ensure alignment on the role, priorities, and success criteria. From there, we launch the search using a combination of our proprietary database, a deep network of vetted CPG talent, and multiple sourcing tools to drive targeted outreach.

    On average, we present at least two qualified candidates within five days of kickoff. All candidates are fully vetted, written up, and shared with the hiring team promptly, with interviews scheduled as soon as there’s alignment.

    To keep momentum and alignment, we hold 30-minute weekly check-in calls with the hiring team. You’ll also have access to a shared portal that provides real-time visibility into active candidates and their status throughout the process.

  • We work with both better-for-you and mission-driven companies. The talent in our network is drawn to organizations that are focused on making people—and the world—a healthier, better place.

    These companies also tend to foster the kind of culture that attracts and retains high-performing teams. Nourish was founded with the belief that when people believe in the brands they work on, they show up with more passion, creativity, and commitment. That’s the kind of alignment we strive to build between our clients and the candidates we represent.

  • We operate as an engaged search partner, which means we ask for a small upfront commitment and exclusivity on the role. This model allows us to act as a true extension of your team—representing your brand authentically, aligning closely with your goals, and ensuring a high-touch experience for both clients and candidates. It also enables us to prioritize your search and deliver results efficiently.

  • Our fees are based on a percentage of the candidate’s total expected first-year compensation, which includes both base salary and target bonus. Rates may vary depending on the scope and nature of the search, and we’re always happy to discuss flexible options that meet your hiring goals and budget.Can you help with both full-time and fractional hires?

  • Yes. We offer a free 30-minute consultation for candidates exploring new opportunities. If you choose to engage us beyond that, we provide support with resume and LinkedIn profile optimization, job search strategy, and interview preparation.
