I’m an Internal Recruiter for Princes based in our head office in Liverpool and I look to fill local roles as well as jobs we’ve got coming up in our IT department and in sales administration.

I joined the company in January 2023 and come into the office two set days a week, working from home the rest of the time. Candidates who I speak to of all ages really love the fact that we offer hybrid working. I’ll also tell them about our generous company benefits, including a cash car allowance, pension, corporate incentive bonus, private medical insurance and enhanced family friendly policies.

As a recruiter at Princes, I’m passionate about finding and attracting the best talent for the food and drink industry and have developed strong skills in managing the entire recruitment cycle from sourcing and screening applicants to booking interviews and providing feedback.

I enjoy working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment where I can learn new skills and overcome challenges.

In October I represented Princes at the Graduate Fair held at Liverpool John Moores University. We went along to connect with talented graduates and to showcase our sustainability-focused career opportunities.

We have a brilliant annual Commercial Graduate Scheme which offers successful candidates the chance to experience three key areas of the Commercial function over three eight-month rotations.

My role involves looking for students to join us who have done a business degree, who have strong commercial acumen and ideally have spent some time in industry.

As you would expect with our roles, there’s a technical requirement but of equal importance is finding people who fit the Princes’ profile. We’re looking for candidates who can think outside the box and get on with people. You don’t have to have come from an FMCG background. We’re particularly keen to tap into local talent and to connect with graduates within the North West region.

What often surprises candidates about Princes? People are always impressed about the breadth of our products and that we have manufacturing sites around the world, including in Mauritius.
