Retail brands already have to face enough challenges. Don’t let your senior hires be one of them.

That’s why our Retail & FMCG practice is so successful. At NJR, we fill briefs for permanent and interim positions in weeks if not days. We can do this because our world-class recruiters are not like recruiters found in a typical agency. All have real-world, senior-level Retail and FMCG experience.

✓ 99% success on retained assignments
✓ Guaranteed time frames
