Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions, Our Answers

Working With Curtis Food Recruiters

Are you a retained or contingent firm?

We are a retained firm. Clients in the food industry retain us to guide their executive search and find the right fit for their most critical roles. We have deep industry knowledge and a network of talent you cannot find elsewhere, and retained search allows us to dedicate approximately 40 hours of resources each week to every search.

How confident can I be that working with Curtis Food Recruiters will benefit our company?

Our retained search approach guarantees we will find a candidate with the skill set and experience matching your needs and who is a good fit for your company. Not only are we contractually committed to making the placement, but every placement comes with a guarantee.

What is different about your process?

The difference is in our highly personalized approach and long-term support. Starting with an intake and discovery session, we consult with key stakeholders to gain a deep understanding of your business, culture, and vision. The research, candidate assessment, and engagement process involves sourcing talent from referrals and our exclusive network, followed by a multi-stage vetting process to ensure you are always presented with the best candidates for consideration.

We consider this a partnership and support your hiring team through the recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and post-hire process.

Can I trust that you keep searches confidential for both clients and candidates?

Professionalism and confidentiality are always top priorities for our firm. We understand that executive hiring can involve replacements, ownership dynamics, and other sensitive situations, and we are dedicated to protecting the interests of all those involved.

What is your geographic focus?

We recruit leadership across the United States and Canada. However, for certain executive roles, we also recruit candidates internationally.
