Recruiting in FMCG is fast, high-stakes, and fiercely competitive. Whether you’re hiring brand managers, supply chain leads, or digital marketers, candidates are being courted by multiple industries and you’ve got one chance to cut through the noise.

The most effective FMCG brands are striking a smart balance between polished, high-quality employer brand videos (often produced with agency support) and authentic employee-generated stories filmed in offices, stores, and manufacturing sites around the world. One draws candidates in with purpose and production value. The other builds trust by showing the real people and culture behind the brand.
