Aldi UK – CSR (Health & Nutrition)
We have been a trusted recruitment partner to Aldi UK since 2013.
Role
Background
Corporate Responsibility roles were a growing function within the Aldi business and the three we have worked on are highly specific, with a high level of industry knowledge and a very defined skill-set required. It certainly taught us a few things too; these were some of the most interesting candidate backgrounds we have heard! Aldi’s headquarters also represent a geographical challenge – there are no other major food retailers in Warwickshire, so relocation would be a factor for the successful candidate.
We had recently sourced a Corporate Responsibility Manager in Ethical Sourcing and Forestry & Farming. This project was in addition to our Aldi RPO.
Once again the ideal candidate needed to come from a more established retailer so we conducted a head hunting project to find that person. The right candidate was quickly identified and came from a top 4 grocery business.
The candidate is still in role and we continue to work with Aldi on their high-specification roles.
