Recruitment in Ireland's Food Production & FMCG industry

The Food Production & FMCG industry in Ireland is constantly expanding, producing a wide range of new businesses and opportunities for those looking to enter or advance in the field. We have observed a number of changes in the sector in Ireland over recent years, one of which is the increasing requirements for food production globally as a result of the increasing world population along with consistent shortages of Raw Materials globally. This has resulted in a competition for talent for companies looking to fulfil Food Production & FMCG industry jobs.

The industry has become one of the most competitive sectors to be a part of in Ireland with a wide variety of job types available across a range of food production and manufacturing to include; Bakery, Dairy, Meat Processing, Produce etc. While it’s common to see both companies and job-seekers finding the hiring process difficult in the Food Production & FMCG industry in Ireland, we don’t believe that should be the case.
