What Our Recruitment Clients Say
Specialist Nutrition Recruitment Services
1. Permanent Recruitment
We support permanent nutrition recruitment at every stage, from developing the job description and advising on salary and role requirements to targeted search, candidate screening and shortlisting.
Rather than relying on automated CV matching, we recruit through conversations. Every candidate we put forward has been personally assessed by our team, helping you understand not only their qualifications and experience, but whether they have the skills, motivations and fit your organisation needs.
You receive a focused shortlist of relevant nutrition professionals – not a volume of CVs – creating a faster, more efficient recruitment process.
2. Nutrition Recruitment & Interview Support
We can support interview preparation, delivery and candidate assessment, providing specialist nutrition expertise alongside your internal recruitment process.
This is particularly valuable when recruiting your first nutritionist, building a new nutrition function or hiring into a highly specialist role where the organisation would benefit from an independent technical perspective.
3. Nutrition Executive Search & Headhunting
For senior, leadership and hard-to-find appointments, we provide targeted nutrition executive search and headhunting.
With more than 40 years of combined experience working across nutrition, food, health, academia, product development, manufacturing, pharma, retail and communications, we understand both the specialist expertise organisations need and the people who have it.
Our established professional networks enable us to identify and personally approach nutrition leaders and specialist candidates who may not be actively looking for their next role.
This makes our headhunting approach particularly effective for Head of Nutrition, Director-level and other senior or specialist nutrition appointments.
4. Interim & Temporary Nutrition Recruitment
Not every organisation needs a permanent hire. You may need nutrition expertise quickly to provide additional capacity, deliver a specific project or respond to changing commercial, regulatory or market requirements.
We can help you find experienced interim and temporary nutrition specialists, or provide additional expertise through our Nutrition Talent Consultancy services.

How Our Nutrition Recruitment Process Works
Understand the role → define the search → identify and approach talent → assess candidates → present a focused shortlist → support interview and appointment.
Our approach combines specialist search with personal candidate assessment, giving you access to relevant nutrition professionals while reducing the time your team spends screening unsuitable applications.
Looking to Hire a Nutritionist or Dietitian?
Finding the right nutrition professional requires more than matching a job title to a CV. Qualifications, registration, specialist expertise and commercial experience can vary considerably, so defining the expertise your organisation actually needs is an important first step.
As nutrition professionals ourselves, we can help you define the role and identify whether you need a Registered Nutritionist, Dietitian or another specialist profile before managing the recruitment or executive search process.
