Are you looking for a nutritionist or looking for a dietitian to join your team in a nutrition job? Perhaps you have this requirement but don’t know where to start or how a recruitment company could help you? In this blog, we explain how Nutrition Talent can find your next nutrition expert.
Understanding your requirements
The first step is always understanding our client’s requirements. We listen carefully to your aims and ambitions for the role as well as the skills and experience required, and tailor our recruitment approach to suit those needs. This, combined with our in-depth understanding of different roles from the lived experience of doing them ourselves throughout our careers, is why we have had such success in finding the right candidates for niche positions where other agencies have failed.
As part of this initial stage, we can assist with building or refining the job description to make sure it aligns with your portrayal of the role, as these don’t always match to start with.
“I worked with Nutrition Talent to fill a very senior health role recently. I truly valued the tenaciousness of their approach. The calibre and breadth of the searches was phenomenal, much better than other agencies I have worked with who don’t take as much pride in the search as Nutrition Talent does. The extra effort the team puts in, including the initial screening made the process so much simpler.
Other agencies just fire candidates at you without doing the due diligence. Nutrition Talent always sticks to the brief. They have provided a much higher calibre of candidates than other agencies.”
Our approach
Our approach varies for each role we recruit for, to ensure it is always personalised to requirements. What doesn’t change is that we ensure the most appropriate candidates are reached, including sharing with our Nutrition Talent community of over 1000 nutrition professionals, direct matching and reaching out to candidates in our database who have the necessary skills and experience. We make good use of our wide networks of professional colleagues and contacts and can also provide a head-hunting approach.
If applications are made directly to you, we can review these to ensure a consistent and fair approach across different methods of application. Our broad approach ensures confidence that the best candidates for the role have been found.
Candidate screening
Nutrition Talent always screens candidates before presenting them to the client for every role we recruit for – it is a key part of our rigorous process. It ensures candidates understand the position, can have any initial questions answered and we can talk about whether it is the right opportunity for them. This saves a huge amount of time for our clients, as they only see candidates that are both suited for the role and excited by the opportunity.
This robust approach ensures we present you only with the most suitable candidates not the huge number of CVs you might see otherwise, streamlining and simplifying the process for you.
We recruit by conversations not computerised systems.
Interview support
Our interview service goes one step further. We can support you with interview preparation, delivery and decision making. This can be particularly useful if you are in a small team, don’t have a nutrition background or you have not hired a nutritionist before, or simply if you would value an external perspective during the recruitment process.
Client communication
Finally, communication is key between us and the client. We keep you fully informed at all stages of the process. As can happen as a recruitment project progresses, priorities can change. You can see someone who ticks all the things on the list, but still isn’t quite right – despite all best intentions to write the perfect job description. Our ability to adapt to changing priorities is vital to success.
What our clients say:
“We approached Nutrition Talent to help us fill a complex senior position. As a new role and one that was vital for the growth of our company, it was paramount that we found the right person. Nutrition Talent utilised their recruitment expertise and understanding of our business to ensure they filtered candidates from a huge number of applications that not only met our fundamental requirements in terms of qualifications and experience, but also the personal qualities we were looking for such as working at a fast pace and fitting in with our company culture. Nutrition Talent were key to us finding the right person for the job and we are delighted with our new recruit.”
