Successful candidate

I was approached by Nutrition Talent for a role that was perfectly matched to me, and I am very grateful. I hadn’t interviewed for a role in years so Nutrition Talent provided lots of advice. They managed the whole process with ease, were super responsive to my queries and provided friendly support. I highly recommend Anna and Danielle.

The Nutrition Talent team supports clients with;

1. Permanent Recruitment

We can work with you at every stage; from writing or editing the job descriptions, advising on salaries, to sharing your position with our community of motivated nutritionists and presenting you with the top candidates. What sets us apart from other recruiters is not only our vast experience within the field, it is also that we recruit by conversations not computerised systems, and provide reassurance that we have spoken to each candidate we put forward so you can be sure they meet your requirements.

We provide you with a select group of nutrition experts with the right qualifications and skills to invite to interview, not masses of uploaded CVs. Enabling a more streamlined, efficient approach.

2. 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.

3. Headhunting

Due to our 40 years of combined experience within the nutrition field in diverse roles across academia, product development, communications, food industry, manufacturing, pharma, retail, sales support and catering, we have a strong network of fellow professionals we can personally approach if a head-hunter strategy is right for you to find a nutritionist. This can be particularly effective for high-level executive positions.

4. Temporary Solutions

Your needs for nutrition expertise may be transient given the changing nature of the commercial and external environment. Sometimes there’s a need for immediate or additional support. We can help, whether by finding you a nutrition specialist or via Nutrition Talent Consultancy services.
