Things are looking up in our industry in 2022 and at Quattro Foods we’re in the very lucky position of being in a recruitment drive. We’ve taken on a number of new staff already this year, including a new Head of Finance and HR (welcome Laura 👋) and we’re starting to focus even more on recruitment and retention, with a raft of new initiatives, from comprehensive training to thorough inductions.
We’re delighted to welcome the new arrivals to our team, but bringing them onboard was a different kind of experience post-pandemic. Recruitment is much harder than it used to be, with potential candidates wary of the fragility of the industry, as well as new Brexit regulations reducing the pool of talent. But we need great people to help us move forwards as we adapt to changes in the industry and continue to help our beleaguered sector get back on its feet.
Love food? Love people? Work with Quattro!
We’re looking for production chefs, production assistants, process technicians and warehouse operatives and we’d love to hear from you if you’re near the Portsmouth area and you have the experience or skills required for any of these roles.
Recruitment, a new way
We need great people, but as with every area of business post-pandemic, we’re thinking outside the box this time. We’re partnering with Portsmouth City Council to explore the idea of recruiting people from the Afghan settlement scheme and we’re also interviewing people who are awaiting release from prison, looking for work to help them settle into civilian life. With the help of HMPs New Futures Network, we’re hoping to find candidates who have made mistakes in the past and are now looking for stability and employment for a brighter, more productive future. We believe there is a pool of untapped talent in these unconventional areas, and we’re willing to explore all possibilities to overcome staff shortages.
So if you like the idea of being part of a hard-working, supportive and ambitious team that serves the retail, wholesale, education, NHS, army and food service sectors with the highest quality food products, please call or email us at any time and we’ll send you full job descriptions. We love to chat and we’d love to hear from you.
