Because we’ve worked in FMCG sales and marketing ourselves, we understand the roles you are looking for and the industry you work in like no other recruitment agency. We can help you craft your career path and take the next step towards achieving your career goals. We are passionate about the industry and pride ourselves on our integrity – there will be no recruitment jargon from us.

We will even seek feedback from you once you are in role about your recruitment experience with Slater Noon. This information helps us continuously improve and adapt so that we ensure we provide the best service for our candidates as well as our clients.

The 5:3:1 Method
Helping you find the right people, faster.
​
​​At Slater Noon, we make hiring faster, simpler, and more cost-effective with our proven 5:3:1 process -
for every 5 candidates we shortlist, 3 make it to the interview stage, and 1 lands the job. This means you’re only meeting top-tier talent, saving you from endless CVs and unnecessary interviews. Our 3:1 placement ratio ensures faster hires, filling roles quickly and reducing expensive downtime. With Slater Noon, you get a streamlined process that focuses on quality over quantity—helping you find the right people, faster.

Reducing Time to Hire
Reducing time-to-hire is a game-changer for recruitment success. Slow processes not only risk losing great talent but also frustrate candidates—62% lose interest if they don’t hear back in two weeks*.
We use a trusted method honed over the last 10 years to streamline the hiring process. Faster hiring also cuts costs by 20% and boosts candidate quality by 40%*.
Speeding up your hiring process isn’t just smart—it’s essential. (*Indeed 2024)
